Everything was dirty .. the carpet was sticky black and covered with stains then besides that looked like it hadn’t even been vacuumed. There was a layer of dirt over it and all the surfaces had dirt and dust. Sink and shower were also grimey.
The also don’t use fitted sheets either just flat sheets over a stained mattress

It definitely does not look like the pictures. The staff was not friendly and the hotel looked like it had a bad repair man that didn't complete any projects. We were told to park in their \"lot\" which was a back alley where we were supposed to park on the sidewalks with a homeless encampment. I would not recommend.

My suite was super spacious and the price was right, but honestly? It was not clean. It just felt dirty. Crumbs all over the floor, stained couch, old pilled sheets, hairs on the towels. Gross. The waterfall shower was amazing, but the room was just dirty, plain and simple. Such a shame.

Check in was smooth although the entrance and the lobby does not look anything like the pictures other than the bottom portion of the desk. It’s dark and dry with bulletproof glass. As for the room there was a lot of dust in corners and some broken items like the wobbly table legs, the standup lamp had a broken lampshade. In the mini fridge there was frozen Jell-O shots from a previous person’s stay and in the shower there was peeled off red toenail polish, so definitely not cleaned properly. We were told at check-in if we wanted them to clean the room we would have to call because they didn’t do it automatically. We checked in for three people in the room and they provided one washcloth had to cool down and get extra which they delivered with no issue. The toilet seat and doors slam so hard so you have to be mindful.

The bar was not open at all and we were there for weekdays and the entire weekend.

check-in is at 3 PM and I arrived at 5:30 PM. I called ahead and told them I would be late and they said it was fine. I arrived and was told my room was not ready because they were shortstaffed housekeeping wise. We had to wait almost an hour for the room to be ready. When we finally did get to the room, it was perfect- neat clean and very nice looking.

Terrible room. The bathroom door was super hard to open. The shower door didn't close all the way. The hand held shower didn't work because the button was missing. There was no smoke alarm in the room which is very dangerous incase of an emergency. The fridge smelled terribly, couldn't keep anything inside. Mostly all of the outlets didn’t work. I called front desk multiple times to complain and no one answered. I couldn't change the room because nothing else was available and I booked this room for my boyfriends birthday and was highly disappointed. I’d like some type of refund because the stay wasnt pleasant and i will never book there again!!!

The room was neglected, 3 of the 4 lamps in the room didn't work as the bulbs were burned out. The glass seal on the door for the bath room was half off and dangling, The shower,conditioner, bath soap vials were used and opened.
The room cleaning did not show up for the second day and lastly, I had bed bug bites all over my arm after my stay. This used to be a reasonably decent hotel Now it is a slum dwelling.

I’ve stayed at The Brooklyn Hotel a couple of times. Overall, for the price, it’s pretty solid. The rooms are generally clean and it’s hard to beat the value.

Room 1: Huge room at a great price, but it was missing a bathroom door. There was also a shooting right outside the hotel in the middle of the night, directly in front of our window, so we didn’t get much sleep. Obviously not the hotel’s fault, but it is what it is for the area.

Room 2: Smaller room. The bathroom door was water-damaged and jammed, and the wall of the water closet was open—doing a #2 with other people in the room was… not ideal. The worst part was that the shampoo, conditioner, and lotion clearly hadn’t been replaced from the previous guest. The lotion bottle was about a quarter empty and had what looked like sand in it, which honestly grossed me out.

That said, for the price, it’s still not a bad hotel if you’re just looking for a decent place to crash.

This property was hands down the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. We booked one night and from the check in process through to us having to forfeit our stay and go to another hotel, this was a nightmare! We had issues with two pairs of unclean sheets and when we asked for an extra blanket they gave us a URINE STAINED blanket. We contacted Expedia to get assistance and ultimately we ended up PAYING & going to another hotel. Expedia was unable to work with the hotel to get our money back because the hotel stated they wouldn’t process a refund & would just give us another room. Another room doesn’t solve dirty sheets & urine stained blankets. Definitely do not recommend this hotel…you can do better elsewhere!

I am still battling to get a refund with this non responsive property for this disgusting and unsafe hotel that I DID NOT STAY THE NIGHT AT due to safety.

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’.

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.

The hotel is OK but IN a run down area of Bed Stiy. Lots of little places to eat but only a few are appealing (like little coffee shop around corner called Furman’s, very nice). Subway access is close.Our hall way floor was sticky and the carpet in our room made the bottom of my feet dirty. The bed was clean and comfortable but the pillows had seen better days. The staff was quickly responsive when we asked for help with TV and for more bottled water. I did notice that the reception desk was surrounded by there thckk security plastic. I understood the reason for this when I saw an irate, yelling guest complaining about his room not being what he paid for as the bed was broken. I think we lucked out with our room.

Though the room was tidy, there were some dust on top of the tea maker and other electronics. The refrigerator in the room was barely able to maintain a cold temperature, the ice cream we placed in the freezer portion got soft and was partially melted. The bathroom had a giant sliding door that looked nice but seemed like it needed some maintenance as it took a lot of effort to open and close. The rooms weren't properly sound insulated as you can hear conversations held by pedestrians outside window and you were able to hear activity in the hallways.
