The room was very well appointed, the people at the desk were very friendly, and it was very conveniently located for my activities. I also enjoy a handheld shower option.

The location was perfect and close to the subway station. The room had a good interior, and the hotel was very quiet. The staff was always friendly and helpful. The rooftop bar was a plus we didn’t anticipate.
Francisca from Chile (9/10)
Great hotel, nice staff, excellent location in Williamsburg, very close to Bedford station (1 stop form manhattan) Rooms were comfortable, large and cleaned everyday. Fresh coffee everyday to brew in your room or ready at reception and cold water available at all times. Did not get a chance to try out “Eñ Nico” restaurant on the top floor, but the view was amazing. Would absolutely recommend.

Joan from United Kingdom (9/10)
This is the first time I have stayed at this hotel, having stayed at neighbouring hotels in recent years. The staff were extremely friendly, they made me feel very welcome and for this reason I will certainly choose this hotel again for my next visit. The rooftop bar was lovely with amazing views across to Manhattan.
Becky from United States (9/10)
Conveniently located near all the best shops and train stops in Williamsburg. The room I booked was the perfect size and spacious enough for 2 with all the essentials ended for a comfortable stay. Love that there was a water refill station right outside our room and directions and info clearly displayed on the cork board when you enter. We arrived early in the morning and didn’t have to wait a crazy long time for our room to be ready. They also have pastries, coffee and water in the lobby and a terrace to sit and enjoy as well.
