Just kind of a weird place. Had issues with the keys the whole time. For some reason the heat in the hallways was cranked so they were sweltering the entire time. Shower pressure left a lot to be desired. Bedside table only on one side of the bed. Just odd.

If you just need a place to stay for one night this if fine. I’m not sure why but I didn’t feel comfortable here for a long term stay. Place is outdated but it’s the cheapest for the area. Close car ride to Williamsburg restaurants and attractions. Not the greatest for walking back to at night, but you can always Uber. Parking was easy to find on random side streets a few blocks away, just pay attention to alternate side street parking. The balcony is funny, you walk outside to stare at the wall of another building. Staff was friendly, our toilet was broken and they came up right away to try and help. Bed was big. Heat definitely worked great for the winter time.

The first and most important consideration is that the above ground metro train is 30 yards from your windows, if you face the Main Street there.
The hotel is not in a good area; not for crime, for some Brooklyn area that you would like to come home to.
It's just the wrong street, too close to the train, and other more minor stuff like no shower curtain (water sprays all over). I wish I had read a review like mine before booking.

They kept calling me while I was working to ask when I’d be checking in and I told them 5 or 6 (2-3 hours after official check-in time). When I got there at 5 they said there had been an emergency preventing me from getting into my room but I could downgrade from a king to a twin bed if I wanted to get in right away. But there would be no price adjustment. I pressed them on it and sure enough, a room with a king bed magically appeared.

This hotel was very nice and the staff were helpful and friendly. The room was clean and the balcony was nice, though it would benefit from a bench or chairs and a small table. The one problem I had was that the kitchen isn’t a kitchen, it’s a kitchenette with a small microwave, a mini fridge and small sink. There are no plates, glasses or silverware, so it really couldn’t function as anything more than a place to store and reheat leftovers. The location was good for me, because it was close to the people I was visiting, but it isn’t ideal if you want to stroll, shop and eat.

Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Having a microwave and fridge is convenient but there are no dishes provided. Hotel is not conveniently located to trains that go to manhattan. I emailed Manager twice prior to arrival about an issue and never got a response. Luggage storage was offered prior to/after check out which is terrific, but they don’t secure it or even give you a tag so anyone could possibly walk away with your stuff. Ironing board didn’t stay standing and front desk never sent anyone to replace it. The hotel was convenient for a wedding we attended but I would never stay there again.

3 PM Check-In was a Joke

The bed was comfortable. The shower pressure was fine. The room phone didn’t work. The room was pretty bare bones. No ironing board or iron. What really made this stay so poor was the fact that my room wasn’t prepared for check-in until almost 6 PM. The girl at the front-desk said they were understaffed. Why book to a capacity you cannot accommodate??

I missed an event I had driven four hours to attempt and attend. I slept OK, noise wasn’t an issue and I was able to get myself clean. But maybe I’ve learned my lesson this time and need to exercise extreme caution when considering a stay at a small boutique hotel. Aura will not see me again.

The hotel was very disappointing and inconvenient. From the moment we checked in, the front desk staff was rude and unhelpful. Our room door wasn’t secure, and the side doors were not properly locked. We had to call maintenance to fix the locks so we could feel safe.

The hotel itself looked run-down and poorly maintained. To make matters worse, on our last day while checking out, housekeeping repeatedly knocked loudly on our door, demanding we leave immediately. We only needed a couple of extra minutes, but they were very rude and insensitive. The front desk staff witnessed this but did nothing to intervene.

Overall, the service was unprofessional, and the conditions were unsafe. I would not stay here again.

Under new ownership - so new that no gps can find the name Aura hotel in Brooklyn (be careful- there is one in time square!)
The check in/out process is very old fashioned and sort of odd- that coupled with the name change made the whole arrival experience weird, and kind of sketchy- but it all worked out- there was also a man absolutely loosing it on the phone about a refund- he sounded like a jerk- but again- weird I was part of that convo.

AC works almost too well- the sheets and bedding felt damp - but I think it was the humidity and ac combo and not that they didn’t dry them well enough before making the bed.

Every time you run the sink or tub- there would be little metal shavings left behind.

Great location for my needs- felt safe (solo female)
Having the kitchenette was really nice and helpful
24/hr front desk- everyone was friendly
More affordable than almost anything else in the area of similar quality.

Benefit of the doubt that the new owners are improving processes and working on ac/pipes ect.. I’d stay there again.

First of all, there was no soap to shower with and the shampoo was half empty, with hair in the towels and on the one bar of soap that was opened already. And every hour, Manjeet would knock on the door, starting at 8:30pm because apparently, he had a problem with my guests and tried to kick me out of the hotel room at around 11pm and told me his boss told him to kick me out. Yet I wasn’t made to leave. But the people downstairs were loud and rowdy, and partying until about 6am and he didn’t say anything to them. I will never step foot in this establishment again, after how unwelcome the night staff made me and my guests feel.

The lotion was used and had what may have been makeup stains on it. Our shower/tub had mold in the grout. The window to the balcony was super dirty.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel for 2 nights and 3 days. While not perfect, it offered everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Street parking can be tricky, so make sure to read the signs carefully – we did get a ticket for street sweeping at a specific time. The elevator was a bit unreliable during our stay, but other than that, the hotel was great.

The room was spacious and well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker – everything you need to make your own coffee. It also had a small balcony, which I liked, even though the view wasn’t much. Both the room and bathroom were clean, and I made sure to check the bed for bed bugs, finding no signs of any. The bed was comfortable, and the TV worked fine with a variety of channels.

The location is convenient, with easy access to buses for getting around, and a store nearby. Overall, I was happy with my stay. If you’re looking for a clean, reliable place to stay, I’d definitely recommend this hotel. It’s in a great area of Brooklyn, and although it’s not an upscale luxury spot, I’d compare it to a Hilton Inn – just smaller and without breakfast.

Would stay here again!
