10 out of 10 the best storage space I’ve had in Manhattan. Joey, the assistant manager here delivers every time. Beyond patient and works with you when you’re in a bind. It’s a great space, this facility is safe and the team is actually great. I’ve had numerous moments where I’ve been anxious about moving stuff and Joey has been there to provide some peace and alleviate any stress. Been living here for a moment and haven’t had a storage manager and team like his treat me the way they do. ... Read more
Jamauri B. - 22 February 2026
I first chose this location because it was near my tenant's building. When needing multiple storage units for a tenant relocation program Joey, was very helpful. He was patient and knowledgeable of his inventory making this an easy process. He had no problem showing me multiple units. We were able to select the perfect units because of his attention to details. Move in was seamless, Joey and the rest of staff were very personable. Space was also very clean. Highly recommend this location. I feel secure sending my tenants there. ... Read more

I hardly leave reviews but I wanted to because I was super impressed with how responsive, helpful and quick this process was.

Shannon S. - 4 April 2025
The prices are really absurd! After the "promotional period," the rates increase dramatically, and they tack on additional costs. What began as a good bargain became a nightmare. Customer service offered vacuous excuses but declined to assist. Find an honest place and spare yourself the stress. Never again. ... Read more
Lalit M. - 4 April 2025
Izzy went above and beyond to help me find a new unit that fit our budget and all of our stuff. He was super patient and took the time to show me several units to ensure we found the perfect unit! Thanks for making a stressful day so easy!!! ... Read more
Bertie D. - 22 March 2025
After just 3 months, they increased my rent almost 400%. I read the contract before signing, paid on time, and expected increases that reflect market fluctuations (a few percent here and there). Not x4 in 3 months. The property manager Emmanuel offered only to change it to an increase of 300%. He referenced a promotional rate that is nowhere on the website or in the contract. They were unhelpful, unsympathetic, and completely unethical. The facility is quite nice, but be prepared for an absurd rent increase for no reason, and expect no real explanation or customer service. UPDATE: I don't understand why the owner's response mentions late fees. I paid on time, and they did not charge me late fees. They increased my rent 4x without explanation. The owner's response makes no sense, and I believe it was intended to mislead readers. ... Read more
Lou T. - 17 March 2025
My experience here has been excellent - and I have used this location twice to store my belongings. Joe in the office is a huge help and incredibly proactive, it really helps make what could be a stressful situation go smoothly. With excellent storage space and an above-and-beyond helper like Joe, there is not another place I would go for storage. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Manhattan Mini Storage - 161 Varick Street has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The storage units offered by Manhattan Mini Storage - 161 Varick Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 15 to 247 square feet. You can go for smaller units if you don't have a lot of items to store, while choosing a larger space is recommended in case you need to store a lot of furniture, bigger items or even vehicles.

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store. On the one hand, you should think of smaller units (5'x5' or 5'x10') as closets – they can be used to store chairs, lamps, moving boxes and sports equipment, along with smaller pieces of furniture, books and documents.

On the other hand, the 10'x10' and 10'x15' spaces are good for storing larger items of furniture, bicycles and a larger number of possessions. If you need even more space, then 10'x20' and 10'x30' units can easily accommodate the contents of an entire 3- or 4-bedroom house.

We know that when it comes to self storage, there is nothing more important than quickness and accessibility. Drive-up access is an extremely convenient amenity, as you can park your vehicle right next to your unit, making it significantly easier to load and unload the items you will use storage for. However, drive-up storage units tend to be outdoors, so you might consider indoor storage spaces with climate control if you're looking to keep temperature-sensitive items in peak condition.

Yes, you might, depending on what you need to put in storage. Climate-controlled spaces keep temperatures and humidity levels consistent all the time, which means they are perfect for storing sensitive items. Seeing that a whole host of things can be damaged by varying temperatures and excessive moisture, many people choose to rent climate-controlled units for personal items such as documents, photographs, paintings, collectibles, electronics, wooden furniture, antiques and even vehicles. If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
