Our 3rd floor room with one queen size bed was tiny. The noise from the street was loud and constant, if those windows are really sound-proofed, then I must have super-hearing! The bed wasn't very comfortable and with the slightest of movements, the fitted bottom sheets snapped off of the end of the bed. If you take baths - be... more

The Nu Hotel is okay for very sound sleepers. For two days and nights we constantly heard very loud clunking sounds every few minutes. Three different people at the front desk said they had no idea why there were noises and that no one else had complained about them. Yet we talked with two other people who said they also... more

Brooklyn works as a base for exploring Manhattan, hotel is walking distance to a subway station with an express train into the city. Location within Brooklyn is excellent, hotel is at the top of Smith Street with a wide range of restaurants whilst 5th Avenue is a short taxi ride away with an even bigger choice of restaurants and bars.... more

We stayed at the hotel in August. Location was ok as we were already familiar with the fantastic area of Brooklyn Heights and the hotel has a subway station within 200 metres offering direct travel into Manhattan. The hotel flatters to deceive in that the extra bits of flash cover up the fact that this is essentially an ordinary hotel... more

We stayed at the NUhotel for a couple of nights in september and really liked it. Rates vs roomspace much better than Manhattan. The walk to the most convenient subway station takes you 10min so if you want to explore Manhattan relatively cheap; the NUhotel is the place to be! Front-office staff was very friendly en helpful. Ok, rooms at... more

Obviously a big attracion for staying here versus Manhatten is the room rate, but there are some drawbacks. This is the first time I felt Trip advisor didn't work for me in the many years I have used it, and feel obligated to let fellow users know about this hotel. Let me also say I heaved a big sigh of... more

I wish there wasn't even a star option. The Nu Hotel canceled my already-paid-for-in-advance hotel room on my wedding night. Yes folks, my wedding night. Me and my husband live in Brooklyn, had the wedding at the Botanical Gardens and just wanted to keep it local. We thought the Nu's location was in a good spot and booked the hotel... more

The location of the hotel deemed to be an issue for some reviewers (across from a jail). But it dis not affect us at all. The hotel is very close to great shopping and tons if restaurants plus neighborhoods to walk through. Off the main street it's very quiet. more

I stayed in New York during the COTERIE fashion week, so I guess that's why the choice of hotels available at a good rate in MANHATTAN was limited. BUT: I don't have any regret that I've choosen the NU hotel in Brooklyn neighbourhoud ! The hotel: Very large room, modern, recently renovated. Ipod docking station, large screen TV, comfortable bed... more
