    We had 2 different rooms while here. A deluxe loft suite and a deluxe with patio on the lower ground floor. The deluxe loft suite was bigger, lighter and worth the extra money. But both rooms are great with high end fittings and spacious. The staff is friendly and helpful. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. This part of Brooklyn is quietly hip and the (unconnected) restaurant on the ground floor, Madre, is great and quite the destination spot. Mitica next door is great too. Bar nearby -Achilles Heel. Transport easy -our favourite to Manhattan was to take the ferry.

    Perfect location. So many great places within walking distance to experience. Staff was excellent and very helpful. Such a unique vibe: sort of in between a hotel room and Airbnb, with very comfortable accommodations. The first level room was really great with natural light and high ceilings. The adjacent restaurant Madre had the best cocktails and staff, too. Would definitely stay here again!

    I can hear noises from right upstairs from our room and next to my room which guests were noisy quite long. I had to call front desk to call them to stop loud talking.

    Nicely renovated and arranged.

    Had a problem with the refrigerator, which was fixed, but situation could have been handled better. The fitness room is very limited (and very dark). But having any kind of fitness room was a bit of a bonus.

    Spacious and comfortable studio close to subway and ferry to Manhattan. A little bit of a hike, but not too bad and not Manhattan prices. Plus you get the benefit of Greenpoint being a lovely neighborhood in its own right, especially its older Polish restaurants. Also nice, unexpected touches like decorating the room with antique cameras. I would highly recommend.

    Our room was just under a storage room and we could hear footsteps, loud music and things being moved at any point during the night. It woke us up a few times at 4 and 5am which is incredibly inconsiderate.

    The room was very large and the bed incredibly comfortable. Checking in was easy. Excellent restaurant just next to the restaurant. Great area as well with lots of good cafes and restaurants.

    A great location with only a short walk to the Greenpoint subway station. Near the station are several grocery stores that were handy since we prepared our own breakfasts in our room. There are also a number of excellent cafes nearby.

    We were extremely satisfied with your suite. The kitchenette was well equipped, the room was cleaned to a high standard everyday.and location was perfect. We were two women travelling together and felt completely safe in the area and loved the short walk to the river. Lots of local shops and bars with a good vibe. We can honestly recommend The Franklin street. hotel

    A bit expensive for essentially a large room/studio (and we don’t need a kitchen for the purpose of our stay.)

    Helpful staff. Good location for us because we are visiting our daughter who lives in Long Island city. Very quiet property which is what we want.

    We booked a room at the basement level, There wasn't much natural light and if I would rebook, I would request a room where there is more natural light

    The place to stay if you are looking to visit Brooklyn. They have lovely spacious studios, kitchenette included. All the areas are in good state and kept clean. The rooms are homely decorated, so you feel at ease immediately. There are also lovely businesses in the area to discover. The hotel also has a restaurant MADRE, which we have tried and was absolutely sublime. You should also try them when staying here. Overall, a really great place to stay

    Absolute perfection in every way! This is the best hotel we have ever stayed in, literally. So much room and the cleanliness and staff were exceptional. We’re already planning another trip and staying here again! Great location to lots of delicious restaurants and shopping and even grocery store’s and beautiful parks that are right in the East River that are only just a few blocks away! Highly recommend staying here!

    The 'balcony' was a bit subterranean (no view) but at least you could let air in the room. No other suggestions / complaints. We really liked it and would come back!

    Spacious room, well appointed and furnished. Handy kitchenette with a microwave just enough cookware to make a stovetop meal. Comfortable and good location for Brooklyn and close enough to the subway to be in Manhattan quicky (Greenpoint station 4 or 5 blocks away. Can get from the hotel to Times Square in about 30 minutes). Laundry on site, works well and not too expensive ($2 each for washer & dryer).

    The Lower level studio implied that we didn’t have a bright accommodation but it was so typical of NYC and that it didn’t really bother us.

    Great neighborhood, great studio size, very good beds / mattresses, spacious kitchen in which we made our own pancakes every morning, convenient laundry room, nicely decorated rooms

    The AC in the unit seemed a bit off and was quite noisy. It worked hard to cool the room down.

    I stayed in the Studio Deluxe, and it was perfect for a single traveler, but two will fit well. Well appointed unit with a full-size kitchen and a spacious bathroom and living area, which is always a challenge in NYC. Hotel room requests were promptly completed and the staff had terrific recommendations for whatever I was looking for in the area or how to get around.
