1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge
This place is absolutely top-tier! From the moment I stepped in, I knew this was something special. Located just a short walk from the Brooklyn Bridge, it's perfect for early morning strolls with breathtaking views of the harbor. The room design is sleek and modern—minimalist but incredibly comfortable, especially the bed which made falling asleep effortless. Every detail, from the bathroom fixtures to the lighting, shows thoughtful craftsmanship. The staff were warm, attentive, and always ready to help. It’s rare to find such a high level of comfort and service at this price point. If you're visiting New York, don’t miss this gem—it’s truly one of the best stays I’ve ever had.
Wythe Hotel
This hotel is absolutely stunning—immaculate from top to bottom, and every staff member goes above and beyond with their warmth and professionalism. While the hotel doesn’t offer parking, there’s a great value lot just a two-minute walk away at 25 Kent St. We paid $64 for 2.5 days, which was incredibly reasonable. The room itself was a dream: exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, and a bathroom that felt like a spa—with a massive tub and a powerful shower. Pro tip: if you’re sharing a room with someone you don’t want to see naked, be aware the shower partition isn’t a one-way mirror—you can actually see into it when someone’s showering. Luckily I was with my daughter, so no issues there. Both the in-house restaurant and the ramen spot next door are fantastic—definitely worth trying. I didn’t make it to the rooftop bar this time, but since I’ll be back every time I visit NYC, it’s definitely on my list for next time. The room was extremely quiet, and temperature control was effortless. That said, as someone who’s highly sensitive to energy and atmosphere, I did notice some unusual things right from the moment I walked in. Nothing scary—I’m not prone to fear—but I experienced several undeniable phenomena: seeing movement down the hall in both my room and the public corridor, hearing voices speaking clearly nearby when I was alone in the shower, and even hearing the stairwell door open directly beside our room, only to find it empty when I checked. It wasn’t coming from another room—it felt immediate, personal. After returning home, my daughter looked up the building’s history, and let’s just say it shed light on everything. There’s a reason why the third floor (near what used to be a fire escape) felt particularly charged. It also explains why my first thought upon opening the front door was, “I’m surprised they get away with inward-opening doors—this violates fire code.” Anyway, if you’re curious, do your own research. But regardless of all that, this is an exceptional hotel at a fair price, located in a safe and beautiful part of Brooklyn. I’ll be back again without hesitation.
Citizenm New York Bowery
Staying at Citizenm New York Bowery was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to SoHo, and right across from the Supreme store, perfect for fashion lovers. The hotel itself feels fresh and modern, with a clean, minimalist vibe. My room was cozy and comfortable, with a great bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I appreciated the efficient check-in process. Everything about this stay felt seamless and well thought out. Highly recommend for anyone visiting NYC who wants a stylish, convenient base near all the action.
UNTITLED at 3 Freeman Alley
Staying at UNTITLED at 3 Freeman Alley in New York City was a solid experience overall. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of SoHo, just an 8-minute walk from Whole Foods and steps away from the 2nd Avenue subway station. Getting around the city is super convenient, and the neighborhood itself has that vibrant, artsy vibe you’d expect from SoHo. The property felt safe and clean upon arrival—no surprises there. Breakfast included a simple but satisfying spread: fresh croissants (really delicious!) and coffee, perfect for starting the day. That said, there are a few drawbacks worth noting. Noise levels were a bit higher than expected—traffic sounds, construction work, loud conversations from nearby bars, even sirens passed by regularly. You can also hear flushing from other rooms, so if you’re a light sleeper, be prepared. The mattress and pillows weren’t my personal favorites—they lacked support and didn’t help with a good night’s rest. Room size is quite compact; even a king-sized bed leaves barely enough space to open a 28-inch suitcase fully. Also, the hotel doesn’t provide basic amenities like tissues, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, shower cap, or a kettle. The showerhead is only overhead—no handheld option—so if you don’t use a shower cap, your hair will get soaked every time. That’s something to keep in mind. Despite these quirks, the price-to-value ratio holds up well, especially for travelers looking for a central, no-frills stay with easy access to great dining, shopping, and transit. It’s not luxury, but it’s reliable and authentic—perfect for a quick urban getaway.
Hotel le Jolie
My stay at Hotel le Jolie was absolutely wonderful. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The hotel itself is spotless and well-maintained, with a clean, inviting atmosphere. Location-wise, it's perfect—just steps away from major attractions and public transit, making exploring New York effortless. Having on-site parking was a huge bonus, especially for travelers driving in. I’d happily return without hesitation. This place truly delivers on comfort, convenience, and quality service.
International Students Residence
I stayed at the International Students Residence and was pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and practical it felt. The kitchen is one of the friendliest I've used—perfect for cooking meals on a budget, which is great for students. There's even a piano in the common area, which adds a nice touch for relaxing or playing during downtime. My room was clean and comfortable, and while the bathroom and shower are shared, they’re well-maintained and functional. It’s affordable without compromising on basics, and being close to public transit makes getting around New York easy. A solid choice for students looking for value and a cozy vibe.
Aura Hotel Brooklyn
Staying at Aura Hotel Brooklyn was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is perfect—just a short walk from subway lines and surrounded by great restaurants, cafes, and local shops. I especially want to thank Shaina, Lily, and Sunny for their warm welcome and genuine hospitality—they made us feel right at home. The room was clean, modern, and well-appointed with everything we needed. Comfortable bed, quiet space, and excellent lighting made for a restful night. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. If you're visiting Brooklyn, this hotel is a top pick. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, convenient, and welcoming stay.
Gramercy Townhouse by Sudha
I rented this townhouse for two years and always paid my rent on time, but the experience was extremely frustrating. The air conditioning provided barely worked during summer, so I had to install split-unit AC systems myself—spending around $20,000 upgrading the unit. When I moved out, I was shocked that no security deposit was returned, and the owner blocked me completely. I even regret not taking the AC units with me since hiring a contractor of her choice cost me $14,000 alone. This wasn’t just a bad stay—it was a deeply disappointing and unprofessional interaction. I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone, especially given the lack of basic trust and accountability.
Hotel 1080 Brooklyn
Staying at Hotel 1080 Brooklyn was an absolutely fantastic experience. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the subway, making it super easy to explore all of Brooklyn and beyond. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering great local tips that made our trip even more enjoyable. The room was modern, clean, and comfortable, with a cozy bed that guaranteed a restful night’s sleep. What really stood out was the value for money—luxury amenities at a reasonable price. This hotel truly delivers on comfort, convenience, and hospitality. I’d definitely recommend it and will be coming back.
Franklin Guesthouse
Staying at Franklin Guesthouse was an absolute delight! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated the option to check in early (for a small fee), which made our arrival so much smoother. The room was spotlessly clean, and the neighborhood felt safe and quiet—perfect for a relaxing getaway. What really stood out was how convenient the location is: just steps away from a cozy corner market where we picked up snacks and essentials. Everything we needed was within walking distance, including public transit that made exploring New York City a breeze. Honestly, I’d have given every category a perfect 5-star rating if it weren’t for the app glitching and automatically unchecking my selections. Despite that minor frustration, this place exceeded my expectations—great value, warm atmosphere, and a homey feel. Definitely planning to return.
The Bowery Hotel
The Bowery Hotel exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and genuinely cared for. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Midtown and Times Square, with plenty of great restaurants and cafes nearby. My room was spacious, beautifully designed with a modern yet cozy vibe, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated. It’s rare to find such excellent service, convenience, and style all in one place. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting New York—worth every penny and definitely returning.
Pointe Plaza Hotel
Staying at Pointe Plaza Hotel was a fantastic experience. The location is quiet yet perfectly positioned for easy access to Manhattan—just a short subway ride away, making it ideal for exploring the city without the hassle of long commutes. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the essentials, though it didn’t include a fridge—still, that didn’t detract from the overall quality of the stay. What really stood out was the staff: friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile. Their warm hospitality made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. For travelers looking for a peaceful retreat with great convenience and excellent service, this hotel is an outstanding choice. I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to New York.
