They had filtered water stations on each floor and provided carafes to collect water. Ice trays were in the freezer so no need to go find ice.Also, loved pour over coffee system with directions. We had the Niche Queen. Just right for a night stay in New York area.

Everytime we come to Brooklyn we stay here! We always enjoy the staff and the ambiance of it all. Everything is so pleasing to the subtle details of the room to the vibe of the rooftoop bar. They really put care into making sure the boutique hotel leaves a lasting impression.

This is a quaint boutique hotel with an amazing rooftop restaurant/bar! Beautiful view! The room we stayed in was tiny but we made it work for 3 nights. We felt safe and it was quiet despite being fairly close to the freeway. Walkable to many locations.

Cosy and convenient Williamsburg hotel. I spent four nights there in October 2024 and I can’t fault it. The staff were all very friendly and the rooms were a good size, comfortable and well-furnished. Also handy if you need to catch the subway as Bedford Avenue only 10 min walk away.
