We had a good time at this hotel. Breakfast was basic continental but was great for our toddler to get fed before a day out in NYC. Room was pretty spacious, especially for NYC standards. They also brought up a crib for our toddler to sleep in which was great. Location was great. Close to metro and also close to some of the charming brooklyn neighborhoods.

NU Brooklyn is, in the words of Jack Reacher," Everything you need, nothing you don't." Well placed ,10 minutes walk from multiple subway stations. Clean, friendly, comfortable and functional. Spare not fancy. Would be 4 stars but goes down to three because they could not fix a broken light over the sink over 3 full days, including one regular workday, threatening to turn shaving into a blood letting. Will definitely stay again.

I came to Brooklyn to attend a concert for my BDay. I was pleasantly surprised to know that the staff was friendly, accommodating and professional. You never know what you're going to get with NY energy... Also, the cleaning staff was awesome; I ended up leaving them a little tip! My room was cleaned daily not like some other major chains. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here @ NU and would recommend it to anyone.

Nice inside and outside! Staff was very pleasant and check in was really easy! In a good area that's close to shops and restaurants. They are building a jail across the street, so it was noisy during daylight hours.They worked overnight as well and it was pretty quiet once dark, we were thankful for the blackout curtains bc there were bright lights for the workers. The rooms were spacious and beds were very comfy with great pillows. There was a little sign that mentioned a mini wet bar in the room, but there was none, which a mini fridge would have been nice to have, but not essential to us. I wish it was available for another weekend trip I have coming up bc I'd def stay again!

I had a really great stay at the NU Hotel Brooklyn. The staff was incredible from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience feel welcoming. The location is hard to beat. It’s extremely convenient, especially if you’re heading to the Barclays Center, which is an easy walk. There are also plenty of food options nearby, so you’re never short on places to eat. Parking in the garage next door was simple and hassle-free, which made a big difference. One thing that really stood out was the room size. For New York, especially at this price point, the room was surprisingly spacious. I’ve stayed in smaller rooms that cost more, so this was a nice upgrade in terms of comfort. The room itself was very clean overall. The only area that could use some improvement is the bathroom. It looked clean at first, but there were a few spots in the shower and above the mirror that could benefit from a deeper cleaning. Breakfast was okay. It gets the job done, but it’s nothing particularly memorable. This was a great stay. Between the staff, location, room size, and overall comfort, I’d definitely stay here again.

Check-in was smooth and hotel is a great location. However, there was a lingering smell of smoke in the room and we came to find out the HVAC system has some quirks which often led to heat exceeding nearly 80 degrees. That said, the hotel did offer us an opportunity to speak to the front desk for a possibility of swapping rooms, which was appreciated.

Wonderful stay. Rooms are lovely, clean and quiet (aside from the slamming doors of other rooms but that seems to happen in every hotel now?). Everyone on staff was super nice and helpful. The "resort fee" feels like a strange scam—an obligatory $25 surcharge each day for not great breakfast and very weak/intermittent WiFi—but the price per night and general stay of the hotel was truly great.
