Cosy and good value but pick the top floor!
Pros:

Feels like an NYC apartment more than a hotel. Convenient and cosy and comfortable, with kitchenette handy for longer stays.

Cons:

All of the ground floor and lower level rooms are very dark. Interior views and very little natural light.

This is a predatory business. Stay away from it!
Cons:

You can see i am disgruntled. Last November I had to cancel my reservation (2 nights) because of my son's death. The management would not reimburse me, but promised me credit for a later stay. That was a lie. Three months later i checked in assuming that i had a reservation for 2 nights, but after the first night i was told, rather unceremoniously that i should either leave or pay 500$(!) for another night. Setting aside the ridiculous overprice for such a mediocre accommodation (i think a rate of 100$ per night would be too generous for what they offer) i was struck by the callous attitude of the management. I think businesses such as this should be put out of business as soon as possible. You can help to do this.

It’s a quirky boutique hotel in a nice neighborhood.
Pros:

Love the hardwood floors for cleanliness and it’s a unique hotel. The restaurant is excellent and the gym is well equipped. The details are well thought out, down to the way they fold the towels! 😎

Cons:

Can’t think of anything.

The best location. But your room will either be awesome or horrible.
Pros:

I love Green Point. I love Franklin Street. This position is amazing. We had 2 separate bookings and we paid for the same room both times. We stayed in two different rooms. One- a large room on the ground floor was brilliant. Super comfortable king sized bed. Massive bathroom. Spacious. Beyond expectations. The second room was small- average for New York - but had a double bed that was the most old, and uncomfortable I have ever slept on. Or didn't sleep on actually.

Cons:

One room was amazing. One the worst. In my review I tried to split the difference. But unless i could ensure I had a bed I could sleep on, I would never go back. And I don't know the secret to get one of the newer beds/ bigger rooms.

A great choice if you are planning to spend time in Williamsburg / Greenpoint
Pros:

Our room was a suite, so it was large, with a kitchenette. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was small but fine. Air conditioning worked well. The hotel has a small gym - quite basic but perfectly adequate for a short stay

Cons:

there was no view - there was a wall about two feet from the window. The hotel's entrance lobby is small and a little rudimentary. There is a single lift (so occasional delays) and guests are asked only to use the stairs in emergency (a shame as there are only a couple of floors). But the pros materially outweigh the cons

Pros:

Quiet! We had the downstairs suite. No windows (except to a very small patio), but we were only there to sleep, so the quiet of no traffic or late night revelers was perfect.

Franklin Guesthouse was a peaceful place I enjoyed returning to after a day of activity.
Pros:

The staff was friendly and helpful. I really loved the room. It was quiet and cute and had everything I needed in there, including a fridge and coffee maker. The design was lovely as well. I really like Greenpoint so the location was great as well. Close to restaurants, bars, shops and transit.

Fantastic stay with lots to do in the area
Pros:

I loved the whole apartment vibe. High ceilings and all appliances were clean, including the comfortable bed. I enjoyed walking around the neighborhood which had plenty of cafes and restaurants.

Cons:

Maybe the look and feel of the corridors which seemed a little outdated
