NU Hotel Brooklyn

We wanted to try Brooklyn to Mudd the chore of getting from JFK to (and more importantly from) Manhattans. We were richly rewarded. The subway was easy, took half the time and cost $7.75 each way. No rush hour traffic to get stuck in for the homeward journey meant much less cost and stress. Anything more would have been jam, and NU Hotel Brooklyn was just right. A very comfy queen bed, great pillows (we normally have trouble sleeping). The bathroom was well designed with a huge mirror and lots of space for 2 peoples toiletries. The staff were very efficient and helped seamlessly when required. Just an Apple MacBook front of house did the job very well with well trained staff. Breakfast was very good for the room available. It was the usual basic carbs and ham/cheese/boiled eggs. There was also a lovely chopped watermelon & blueberry cocktail that was delicious with a Greek yoghurt. unlike many Manhattan hotels, everything was replaced quickly not leaving some guests missing out. We borrowed the bikes for a day in Brooklyn and had a lovely day. The hotel is opposite the main police department so very very safe. The walk to the subway as safe as any in Manhattan. Down along Queen astreet we found lots of unique shops and bars, coffee house. We will return.

NU Hotel Brooklyn was perfect for our pre-Christmas break to NYC. Staff are very efficient and welcoming and inclusive breakfast excellent, with good choice. Transport links are very good with Metro stations nearby, or walk down to East River Pier 6 and catch a ferry to DUMBO or across to Wall St, or from DUMBO up to Midtown East.

Stayed at Nu Hotel in the past — for five days. Once again, we enjoyed or stay. Good service, comfortable stylish room plus an excellent breakfast. And an ideal location for us.

My stay at the NU Hotels was very pleasant. Check-in was smooth, my room was spacious, comfortable and clean and the breakfast was better than average. Be careful, however, because there is an up-charge for Internet and breakfast which you won;t see until check-in. They kindly waived that fee for me when I protested.

This was the loudest hotel I've ever stayed in- and I travel often. I checked in at 4am and before 10am I was woken up by the cleaning people knocking loudly (despite the Do Not Disturb sign I'd placed on the door,) asking when I'd be checking out. I could hear the maintenance workers walkie-talkies. I could hear the curtains opening in the next room. It was ridiculous. And I had only checked in to get a few hours of sleep before returning to work and I would have gotten more rest if I'd slept in my car. And saved the money. Upon checkout I was asked about my stay and I was honest about my experience. The woman at the desk did take some $25 fee off of the bill, which was appreciated, but I wouldn't stay again or recommend it to anyone. In fact, if I heard someone talking about this hotel I would advise against it.
