Painfully slow check-in process, despite there being no one else in line to check in. Front desk attendant was barely communicative and volunteered no explanation for the long wait. The hotel is neither well maintained nor well cleaned. There were multiple broken and/or nonfunctioning amenities, from the vending machine in the lobby to the fitness center equipment to the unstaffed lobby bar. The owners/operators of this hotel are providing less than the bare minimum of hospitality and upkeep. I will never stay at this hotel again.

the hotel lost its luxury part its definitely a boys go see the nets kind of place more like a motel surrounding area is dirty and after arrival i was told the parking was in a lot ten blocks away when i finally arrived back at the hotel the room was clean so clean we had to leave the door open for hours due to the smell of bleach as we settled in we realized the half the bathroom door was missing that was crazy and all the smoke heads were removed weird right .the elevator sounded like it was one shake away from dropping to the ground didn't see one worker the rest of the trip, the ubers were only ten minutes away from most activities which was a plus we stuck it out but i wouldn't recommend for a family

Honestly, the worst trip I’ve ever been on. I cannot explain further. The room wasn’t even ready at check in time. The Wi-Fi doesn’t work. It’s dirty. The staff is useless all in all one of the worst experiences of my life hotel stay I genuinely can’t believe that it has three stars

No. The MTA train is two lanes from the building. The clerk demanded a $50 cash payment to check-in at about 1:30 PM. She was kind enough to allow us to wait in empty concession/bar styled room. The pictures on the advertisement illustrated something completely different than the real hotel. A complete dump!

The hotel is on a highly trafficked street close to an intersection with two gas stations. The hotel could be better with a little effort. The location is close to many good restaurants and bars. The A train is nearby. Great for JFK and getting into Manhattan. The 4 and the 5 not far away. The bath mat had stains that meant it should have been thrown out. Some lights didn’t work in the room. It’s not terrible, particularly for the price; however, it’s definitely’under-managed’.

This hotel was redone at some point to make it modern and nice. Unfortunately the current owner has not maintained it and most of the fixtures are now broken. The window to the street was so filthy i could not see out of it. The sheets and towels were dingy. almost every fixture attached to the wall was damaged or pulled out. The location is OK but I did not feel good about my stay here.

Nah.

Don't let the photos fool you. TBH is stretching the definition of "luxury" to the absolute extreme. Dark, dingy, no staff onsite, an unmanned security desk next to doors which remain unlocked after midnight, paper-thin walls next to guests who were loud late into the night. The official website (brooklynhotel-nyc.com) purports to have a kitchen onsite run by two chefs with Michelin-star backgrounds, though it now appears to be permanently closed. The only vending machine is out of order. My room had stained towels and bedding, and the hose to the handheld shower head was rusted and broken open, spraying everywhere. But hey, for all its faults… is it at least convenient? Also no! ~6 minute walk to the A, but a 10 minute walk at least to hit the outskirts of the truly walkable parts of Brooklyn. The best I can say is that it had a bed. My travel plans changed such that I had to fly home a day early. I wasn't sad to leave.
