Thank you for the kind words! Last-minute moves to NYC are exactly the kind of situation Roomrs is built to handle, so it's great to hear we were able to get you set up quickly. A clean apartment in a great location near the subway, at a good price, and that actually matches the photos is the standard we hold ourselves to, and we appreciate you calling all of that out.

Thanks,
The Roomrs Team

Used Roomrs when I first moved to NYC - Great experience!

Roomrs was extremely responsive and answered all my questions in a timely manner. The apartment they provided was in great condition and cleaned on a regular basis. Overall, I'd recommend the service for people just moving to the city and looking to find a room quickly.

Roomrs made moving to NYC stress free

Roomrs made moving to NYC stress free! Within a week of finding Roomrs I had a reasonably price room! It is great for interns that need something short-term. The customer service responds within a business day and is excellent with troubleshooting and problem solving. My overall experience with Roomrs was wonderful. They are reliable, legit, and affordable for all budgets.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! A week from finding Roomrs to having a reasonably priced room is exactly the kind of turnaround we aim for, especially for interns where the timing is tight. Reliable customer service with quick troubleshooting is the standard we hold the team to, and we appreciate you calling that out. Reliable, legit, and affordable across budgets is really the whole goal.

Thanks,

Really unprofessional

They try to trick you with the rooms, they tell you that you get one and then they try to give you another that is half the size of the first for the same price without explicitly mentioning it.

Also, they change the prices of the rooms from one day to the next (+$200 for example) and when you ask for clarifications they just pretend that it never happened.

After all this, I decided not to rent a room from them and I asked for a refund (you have to pay a membership fee to start the application process, and they tell you that it is refundable if things don't work out ). I asked for the refund one month ago and I still haven't received any money and they just keep on telling me that they issued it but when I ask for proof they just stop responding to me.

Stay away

Well worth it

I moved to abruptly and Roomrs was able to provide everything I needed until I was able to go back and get my belongings. Roomrs was extremely professional, clean, and cozy. Glad I was able to experience coliving the way I did with Roomrs.

Thank you for the kind words! An abrupt move is exactly the kind of situation where having everything already in place really makes a difference, and we're glad Roomrs was able to bridge that gap for you. Professional, clean, and cozy is the standard we hold ourselves to, and it's great to hear all three came through during your stay.

Take care,

The easiest move ever! From the U.K. to NYC !!

Roomrs really really helped me out. I moved from the U.K. to NYC and obviously didn’t have any furniture with me. I wanted a steady, easy move in! & I got that with Roomrs, so massive thank you!! & I also loved the fact that you get a cleaner every month !! Very happy with my Roomrs experience. thank you!!

Thank you for the kind words! Moving from the UK to NYC without any furniture is a big leap, so it's great to hear the move-in process was as steady and easy as you needed it to be. The monthly cleaner is one of those perks that really does add up, especially when you're settling into a new country, and we're glad that landed for you.

Thanks,

Sorry, but that was nothing

Roomrs seems te be like any other website for short term lease but that impression is deceptive. I emailed them couple of times and even set up a videocall to receive more information on the listings they are offering. First, they used to show up late on the calls and/or reschedule them on short notice. Second, during the call you do not get any more than just empty words. There was no time for proper introduction of the company or any explication of the whole process. Third, their staff is responding very late or even ignoring subsequent questions. Overall, I do not recommend Roomrs if you value your time. Try one of the competitors instead!

Good service, nice option for short term lease

As COVID cases were going down, I moved back to New York to find a job. Things were uncertain for me and I didn't want to get into a longer lease. Hence, I picked Roomrs. They provided shorter lease options (3 month minimum) and were very supportive as I was finalizing the apartment from a different country. They also have good alternatives if you don't have a credit score/ guarantor. So all that hassle is taken away. The customer support was great as well. They always got back to us within a day. In my 7 months staying at rooms, I only faced one problem- the heaters were not working for a few days. Although they were fixed, but they took a week to do it. However, I was reimbursed for a space heater that I got. The apartment was very aesthetically pleasing, nicely furnished, and had monthly cleaning service too- which made it easy for me. Overall, it was a great experience with Roomrs!

Amazing experience!

Roomrs were amazing to deal with. They made my international move so seamless and easy - and were so helpful every step of the way. I trusted their recommendations and found a place I loved, including the area. No question was ever too much and customer service was always exceptional. Great value and a wonderful experience. I highly recommend.

FIVE STARS!

FIVE STARS!! Roomrs made everything so easy!!! I just showed up with my clothes and had a literal bed, closet, desk and fully furnished kitchen. My roommate and I lived in a 3BR just the two of us for 6 months--it was incredible. Roomrs is also super responsive and caring with issues that happen in the day to day. I've recommended them to all my friends moving to the city. Enjoy!

A Great Stay!

I just finished a short stay with Roomrs and loved it! They were super helpful in being accommodating and preparing me for my stay! Even after I moved in they continued to be helpful and provide great service. I would totally recommend them to others looking for housing on short notice, and I myself would be happy to house with them again!

Roomrs was super impactful to my move to New York City. At the very last minute I was looking for places to stay and Roomrs was that open door for me. Getting started and all moved in with Rommrs was super easy and the customer service was on point and very responsive and met the needs of everyone. I would recommend Roomrs to anyone looking for short or long term stay. I enjoyed my time with Roomrs and will most definitely stay with them again.

My roomrs experience was all I expected and more!

My roomrs experience was all I expected and more! Most notably I had wonderful roommates in the perfect location. It was indeed fully furnished, with almost all necessary appliances provided. My room was a good size and had massive closets too! The cleaning service once a month was a nice bonus as well. At one point my toilet did break off the wall due to poor design and there was not much light in the kitchen or common room due to the strange layout. However, my overall experience with roomrs was good and just what I needed!

A great co-living service provider

I used this co-living service for almost 2 years. They provided the service at a great price including everything(Kitchen utensils, Internet, gas, electricity, monthly cleaning, etc). In addition, the step of making the contract is simple, so you can start/end your life easily.
Sometimes room photos are slightly different from actual ones, but the room is clean and I didn't have any big issues.

Roomrs was great!

Roomrs was great. I was surprised at how responsive the support team was. I thought the price was great and though I was nervous about the roommate, he turned out to be great. Having everything there (utensils, bed and linens, cookware, internet) was a gamechanger. Roomrs was my first co-living experience and I would recommend them.
