We were initially put in a accessible room (not requested) and after 1 shower the whole bathroom floor had flooded - very poor shower layout, the water then went under the wall of the bathroom into the bedroom coming up through the floor boards, water damage is evident on the walls/floor, seems like this is a known issue to the hotel but people are continued to be booked in this room… disappointing start to the trip as they couldn’t move us to a new room for the first night. Moved on our second night and had no issues, quick and basic breakfast and the bikes provided were great!

This was my second time staying at NU Brooklyn and I came back because the first time was near perfect. While the rooms are still great, clean and comfortable, breakfast is simple but good, and the hotel is pretty conveniently located, our stay wasn't as great this time around. Not sure if from a pile driver at the construction site across the street or a heavy door or the elevator shaft, but there are some loud thumping/banging noises happening at all hours. It's loud and you can feel the vibration through the walls/floors. I complained with the front desk twice and they acted like they had no idea (which I doubt is the case, to be honest, but this is just my assumption.) I was offered to change rooms but wasn't able to since I didn't have much time at the hotel to arrange it. I had a very busy stay and was woken up at 5am after going to bed 2am the night before, so not great!

I really love this hotel — it’s located in an awesome area with great staff. I mostly interacted with Zay, Jewels, and Stanley. Their professionalism and care were crucial for me as a solo traveler. They were friendly and kind but at the same time professional and deliberate. I literally came back bc I wanted a hotel where I could feel like home — to feel welcome in a human way — and NuHotel was without competition. Two other staff members that I interacted with briefly included Trudy and Rakim. They were also very kind. Thank you guys for making me feel welcome. I didn’t come here under happy circumstances but you made my stay a lovely one. Keep being your best selves and never stop learning! O the places you’ll go 💕🙏

We absolutely loved our stay at the NU Hotel in Brooklyn. The location was perfect. There were restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance, so we visited many of those. It's also only a few blocks to the subway to go into Manhattan, which made it very convenient to go into the city. We came back at night several times, and I never felt unsafe coming back to our hotel. After reading the reviews from others, I was concerned about both the construction and the breakfast at NU Hotel. Our room was directly across from the construction site, and I don't know if they just weren't doing anything overly noisy during our stay -- but with the sound of the air conditioner, I didn't even hear the construction noise at all. A couple of times, I looked out to see if they were even working that day. I also thought the breakfast was fine -- there were simple things like boiled eggs, bagels with lunch meat and cheese, fresh fruit (oranges and bananas). The coffee was great. Parking was simple with being next door. Overall, I was extremely happy with our stay at NU Hotel, I would most definitely stay again when coming to Brooklyn.

Disliked: Amenities
Convenient location. It appeared that the continental breakfast was wrapped into the amenity fee. Lobby insipid, concrete floor, with metal chairs-bad combo! Irritating things: room did not have full complement of towels, specifically wash cloths. Tissue supply ran out. Broken glass on shower door. Day manager attentive to a fault. Weekend/evening crew seemed passive, indifferent. Again, sub-par given overall cost of stay-factoring added taxes/fees.

I thought the room was comfortable but the hotel could use some up keep. My toilet wasn't working properly and the hallways could use some carpet cleaning. The people working there are very nice with one exception. It was a good location in downtown Brooklyn, but disappointed in the overall experience.
