The location of Arlo Soho is great, just a block from the 1 train and a few blocks from the A train. The lounge areas are wonderful, staff very friendly, easy check-in. My sister and I stayed there for 2 nights in a room with 2 bunks. The room is very small, with a bathroom as an integral part of the room - simply a corner, with floor to ceiling frosted glass. There is a small desk with one stool, so nowhere to sit other than on the beds. I think it would be a perfect room for one person, but not for two - just too small.
The neighborhood is just wonderful and it's nice to be able to walk out the door and hop on a train within 1 block.
I would stay in that room again alone, but not with another person.
