Nothing to recommend at this hotel. Avoid.
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

Old and poorly maintained. Elevators did not work properly and there were daily queues to get to your room! Cupboards broken and curtains did not close properly. Staff were indifferent

מיקום וצוות מעולים, חדרים גדולים יחסית לניו יורק
Pros:

מיקום מצויין, קרוב לפארק ולמסעדות באיזור

Cons:

יש 4 מעליות 1 לא עבדה ו 2 מעליות מיועדות לעליה לקומת הגג. נותרה מעלית אחת לכלל העובדים מה שהקשה על האורחים וההמתנה למעלית כמעט 10 דקות.

Pros:

The front desk staff were so friendly and helpful. Very nice to have personable people on arrival and throughout the stay. The room we were given was great, we had a view toward the Brooklyn Bridge. The balcony was nice to have, but it was still a bit chilly when we visited so didn't have a chance to enjoy sitting out on it.

Cons:

The carpet in the hallways was a bit old and made it difficult to roll luggage through.

Good views but lots of issues
Pros:

Hotel is beautiful and clean.
Service is either excellent or very average. Got looked down on at the rooftop restaurant. Was asked to prove I have a credit card, and when I told them I was a guest they acted all apologetic. I had excellent service from the waiter at Leuga during lunch on May 4th. Incredibly kind, friendly and helpful. I’m sorry I didn’t take his name :(
I was in a suite with wraparound balcony. The views were very beautiful but the room was a bit run down. Bathroom door handle was broken.
The biggest red flag to me is that they took a 1280$ CAD deposit on check in, then confirmed it was going to get released / refunded… Which it still hasn’t. They sent me a bill where I see it in the credit line, but there is no credit transaction. They keep arguing it’s on the bank side. But bear with me, they processed a 25$ refund a couple of days later and that showed within 2 days. It’s now been 15 days and I’ve yet to see my 1280$ charge reflected as a credit. I wrote to them and they maintain it will show up. Well, my credit card says I’m allowed to do a charge back in a couple of days so I guess if they wanna do it the hard way, I will proceed with that. Would be so much more simple to not keep the guests deposit hold for so long…

Wouldn’t stay here again
Pros:

Location. Ubers available and quick

Cons:

Room is dirty , toilet took 3 flushes to get just paper down , elevator cables ran all night and were loud and kept me awake and also sounded like chairs were being scraped across a wood floor .. nm that I had an amazing package delivered right to the desk and no one could ever retrieve it for me. It’s so far from 5 star hotel. They need a lesson in what true European 5 star hotels are like.

Great hotel in Brooklyn
Pros:

All rooms have balconies. Ours overlooked the East River…beautiful. Our room was small. No fridge to use except already stocked. The balcony made up for. Very safe area I felt comfortable walking around by myself. (I’m a 71yo female)The valet parked my car, and it never moved until we left. Everything you need is walking distance. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Cons:

A fridge for personal drinks, etc would be nice. Or at least have it available.

Serviço e cuidado com detalhes decepcionantes para preço e tipo de hotel
Pros:

Vista e localização

Cons:

- Serviço de quarto não trouxe talher
- Guardanapo de pano estava manchado
- Pote de body lotion tinha cabelo
- Recepção não guardou meu e-mail correto, não recebi e-mail de quando meu quarto estava pronto
- Estadia mais curta que a média (das 4pm até as 11am, em vez de 3 as 12)

Com o preço, tudo isso tinha que funcionar melhor. Em vez de encantar cliente, hotel parece estar tentando descobrir qual o nível de serviço mínimo que pode oferecer a esse preço, contando com o nome e vista.

Hôtel superbe avec une vue à couper le souffle sur Manhattan, mais un personnel peu accueillant
Pros:

Chambre très confortable et spacieuse, une vue absolument incroyable !
Très facile d’accès en métro ou en ferry.

Cons:

L’accueil du personnel à la réception.
A peine un bonjour, on nous a seulement demander une carte bancaire et indiqué le numéro de chambre.
Aucun autre échange ne serait-ce que pour savoir où était l’ascenseur.

Outstanding views, but expensive for the quality of the rooms.
Pros:

The views are absolutely amazing.

Cons:

The hotel is a bit dated, the shower does not close properly, the dresser is old, the whole thing is in need of some fresh up. Especially at that price point.
