Food and Drink Options
While Hotel Richland LES doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, you're surrounded by late-night dining options—from dumplings and ramen to local pizza slices, all within walking distance. The Lower East Side is a foodie’s paradise, and you’ll find
plenty of spots still open after midnight. Plus, there's
free coffee and tea in the lobby to help you recover the morning after.
Nightlife Options
Just steps from the hotel, you'll find dive bars, rooftop lounges, and cocktail spots that stay open late. Whether you’re into intimate jazz clubs or trendy speakeasies, the LES nightlife scene has you covered. Prefer to keep it low-key? There are also chill neighborhood bars perfect for a nightcap.
What People Say
Guests love the
friendly staff and how clean and quiet the hotel feels despite being in a lively area. Reviews often mention the
great value for NYC, especially for travelers who just need a stylish, safe place to crash after a long night out. Many solo travelers and couples say they would stay again.
Areas for Improvement
Rooms are on the smaller side—typical for NYC—so if you’re traveling with lots of gear, it might feel a little tight. There’s no elevator, so pack light or be ready for a few stairs. No on-site bar or restaurant, but that’s easy to forgive with so many options nearby.
The Bottom Line
Hotel Richland LES is a smart, budget-friendly base for concert-goers who want to stay close to the action but still get a good night’s sleep.
