We stayed at 42 hotel for 6 nights while helping our daughter move into a nearby apartment. We had lots of luggage and asked several times for help with storing it while we were arranging things and loading it into a van. Every time the staff were incredibly helpful and cheerful, even though it was one of the hottest days Brooklyn has ever seen (102 F). They made the move so much easier than it could have been. Our stay was wonderful as well. The air conditioning was very effective without creating those cold currents in the room that can set off allergies. The bed was comfortable and the eames chair was great for relaxing after carrying things all day. The only thing that wasn't optimal was the cover they put on the mattress had a plastic feel, which made you hot at night. The shower was great and nice amenities.
The free breakfast was great as well. We had a choice of different dishes cooked hot by the kitchen, omelettes or pancakes or eggs any way. No avocado toast, I think it wasn't avocado season. The server in the dining room was very friendly and helpful as well, and brought us plenty of coffee and ice water to stock up our bottles for the day. This hotel has lots of nice touches, like prosecco set out in the lobby every evening, and just the best staff ever.

Parking free and on site. Good strong coffee in room. Big bathroom by NY standard and we loved the robes and slip-ons. 4th floor King room was perfect. The Cellar space was enjoyable, serene with comfortable seating. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Wish there was a new robe available for purchase. A bench or two out front would be good. Recommended to friends already. Thank you 42 Hotel!!

The hotel is very clean, from the rooms to the restaurant. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The one downfall is the fitness area. It is very small and some of the equipment does not work. There weren’t towels or wipes in the workout facility.

I booked this for a weekend trip to Brooklyn and it was perfect. There was surprisingly a good a mount of street parking in the immediate vicinity; the room was clean and decently sized for New York; the staff was helpful; there's a restaurant on site that I didn't try but seemed to be a fun vibe; and it's right next to a train stop so you can maneuver through the city easily. Only thing I'd say was missing is they don't have one of those snack shops so if you have late night cravings you'll have to go outside and find a bodega.

Clean, very modern/chic in appearance and decor. Complimentary mini-bottle of wine greeted us in the room. Nifty reading lights installed above the bed. Friendly staff—they helped us plan our return trip to the airport. Very close to three subway lines, (M, J, G) making it easy to get out and do some sightseeing. Meanwhile, there are some very good cafe and bar options in the immediate neighborhood so it can be a quick walk to breakfast in the morning or back to the hotel after a night out.

Stayed 3 nights . Room was clean , serviced each day . Bed good size King.
Some night noise from road , you need earplugs if you are a lighter sleeper , rooms at back of building would be better.
Found overall surrounding area didn’t feel that safe however so close to train and the M train will take you all the way to Midtown Manhattan . Great for trains from Hewes St station .
Didn’t venture out for local restaurant's.
Overall if you can’t afford to stay in Manhattan it’s a nice quiet hotel with easy quick access to city .

The staff is excellent, the front desk people were very kind and personable. At check in we were told breakfast was included with our stay however we were billed extra for it at check out, which was super annoying but a lesson learned I guess. The hotel is decent, not super clean inside the room but overall still ok. The location is not ideal for a family, I strongly suggest staying closer to Domino Park if you’re not familiar with Williamsburg.

Wrapping your mattresses in a plasticky protector is cruel to any female guest over the age of 40. Not only is the noise annoying, but it also makes one very sweaty. Despite having a lovely stay, those mattress protectors would keep me from booking here again

Room could have been much cleaner. Restaurant was very unorganized. I wanted a coffee to go, server realized no one had restocked the to go cups. Wanted to pay with cash, server realized there was no money in cash register.
Second day, server didn't know how to make coffee.
At dinner, there were only a few things to eat from the whole menu because someone forgot to put in the order for restocking of food.
Hotel charged my credit card $130 for no reason on top of the $400 hold for two rooms after arriving.
Very disorganized. Wont stay there again.

Called that morning and asked about parking. Hotel person said there was construction and normal parking was not available. I then asked where do they recommend guests park. And he said I don’t know.
Not even a recommendation?!? Then I asked if I should cancel and he said I don’t care, that’s up to you.
Ended up searching and finding a space a block away.
First night the restaurant and bar were closed before the cook didn’t show up.
Never for this hotel again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel 42 - great location steps from the subway. The neighborhood was very clean and walkable. We enjoyed some neighborhood restaurants. I always felt safe and it was very clean everywhere in the nearby neighborhoods. Our rooms were also very clean and we enjoyed some cocktails in the evenings in the cellar bar. A lovely week in Williamsburg Brooklyn!

Great location and a beautiful room. Some of the decor and furniture looked more high-end than they actually were, and a few pieces were not the most functional. The shower was probably the weakest part of the room, the handheld shower hose was broken, the water pressure was very weak, and it leaked onto the bathroom floor. Thankfully, extra towels solved the issue. Overall, I would still stay here again.

Used hotels tonight to book ended up paying through Expedia at the hotel.?

Come to find out there was no resort fee if booked directly with the hotel.
We needed an extra night our 3rd party,Hotel Tonight tried to charge me double the nightly rate,
Do not use Hotels Tonight go directly to 42 Hotel, way better rates and no charge for the amenities.

When we checked into our room we noticed the air conditioner wasn't working right. We notified the front desk and they sent a maintenance person right away. After he determined it wasn't working right he checked other rooms and found us one with an excellent working air conditioner. We exchanged rooms and had no other issues. We've stayed here once before. The hotel is in a nice location, it's quiet, and most of all the staff are pleasant and helpful. That includes the front desk, restaurant and bar, and the maintenance guy. We'll be visiting New York again and this will be at the top of list for our next visit.

Staff was really friendly upon arrival and was given a complimentary bottle of wine(with a choice of red or white). The room was clean and stocked with delicious coffee and purified water (also complimentary). Everything in the hotel feels very state of the art. Will definitely recommend this hotel to friends that are looking to stay in Brooklyn.

Stayed for 3 nights in spring 2026. Can confirm that the negative reviews here are probably very case-specific. The night staff was awesome, the room was clean, and the bed was one of the best I've slept on in a hotel. The Hewes St subway station is two blocks away and, yes, you can hear it, but in our room it only really sounded like a recurring blast of wind. The only real dings I have against 42 Hotel is that everything has become so expensive that I still had sticker shock at our final price, given its location and modest level of hotel amenities and sound insulation between rooms. My biggest compliments are to its comfy bed and the HVAC in the room: It is centrally vented, easy to use, and actually cools to the desired temp then shuts off. Pretty rare in any hotel these days. Thanks 42 Hotel!

I really liked this hotel and will return. Looks to be a recent renovation. Rooms are very pleasant, nicely decorated. Restaurant and bar in basement were excellent. Nice location, easily walkable. Less than a mile to the East River and Domino Park.

The restaurant was great, food was really good. I loved the vibe at this hotel and I was able to walk around the neighborhood and check out some local vendors like Brooklyn Cupcakes and some vintage women's clothing. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The amenities were nice, I loved how they offered free bottles of water, this gesture made all the difference. I would definitely stay here again! Loved the hotel.

This was my second stay. The first was uneventful. This one was a disaster.

At 5pm I had to walk around looking for someone to check us in. I eventually found the front desk manager in the basement chatting with the bartender. He looked up and said he’d “be right there.” He got to us 10 minutes later.

When we got to our room it was 61 degrees with no heat. There was a brand-new portable heater sitting there unplugged, remote still in the plastic, and no one mentioned a thing at check-in.

The next morning there was no cold water. Both the sink and shower ran scalding hot. I let the front desk know and was told it would be taken care of. It wasn’t. When I followed up later, I was told no one had even looked into it.

Maintenance eventually said we needed to move rooms. The next room had the exact same problem. We were finally moved to the first floor above the restaurant.

The restaurant was supposed to close at 9pm, but there was a DJ and a full-blown party until 1:45am. On top of that, someone nearby was smoking weed until nearly 6am.

I had extended my stay because of an incoming blizzard, but once I realized I wouldn’t be flying out until Wednesday, I couldn’t imagine staying there that long. I took an Uber to LaGuardia, rented a car, and drove home instead.

Between the lack of basic maintenance, poor communication, and complete disregard for guests, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your money staying here.

Weird location. Add on fees that were mandatory once you get to the hotel. They nickle and dime for early check in/late check out.
Bathroom ceiling had water damage that wasn’t repaired. Walls had stains.
Also safety. Literally anyone could walk in and go right into the elevator. Key card access was not needed.

Room was fine,but window shade was open and we received no instructions about how to close it (we tried manually but it wouldn't budge) We were staying on the first floor so our room was visible from the street
We came to the hotel for privacy,but had none
Would like a refund

I appreciated the warm welcome by the staff and the early check-in option, but it was downhill from there. The restaurant staff was very distracted, didn't seem familiar with the menu when we called to order room service, delivered a meal for two with one paper napkin, and a pancake platter with no syrup and no potatoes (they were to be included, per the menu). At check-out, no one asked us how our stay was. The room was nice thought.

the room was nice and confortable, but I had issues with the cleaning of the room. they didn't make the bed for 2 consecutive days and one day they didn't clean the bathroom. although I chose breakfast included, there was a limit of 15$ and the rest was on me. This is because it is served by an indipendent restaurant. Not a good surprise...

Extremely inconsistent and poorly managed hotel. I was repeatedly locked out of my room and given conflicting information about charges and card holds - even when I showed proof directly from my bank and was accused of lying. Staff communication was unprofessional, and some refused to give their names while male being openly being confrontational and obstructive.

After filing a formal complaint, I was told there would be an “investigation,” and response within 48 hours, but this has not been the case. There was no follow-up, no accountability, and no apology. The hotel completely ignored the issues and failed to address any part of my experience.

One of the most unprofessional and inconsistent hotel stays I’ve had. I strongly recommend avoiding this property.
