My friend and I meet every year around the holidays for sightseeing and theatre/opera. I live in Queens, so we usually stay in Manhattan. This year, we couldn't find anything decent, so I threw caution to the wind, looked around, and found a bed and breakfast in Brooklyn, of all places!

Well, we hit the jackpot here.

Reviews at tripadvisor have been almost completely positive, and I'll add my own here: we had a fantastic time!

The property, from 1904, has been lovingly restored and the common rooms on the first floor are warm and inviting.

Our room (or rooms, since we had a smaller sitting room as well) was lovely and well- appointed with no frillies or doilies to be seen. The bed was comfortable and there was PLENTY of drawer/closet space.

Robert could not have been lovelier or more accommodating. I emailed to see if we could arrive earlier than the stated time and Robert had no problems with that....we were able to check in at two o'clock, giving us time to freshen up before dinner and the opera.

Breakfast was taken at our leisure and Robert made sure the 'fridge was well stocked. It was continental, yes, but with a capital "C"! There was fresh fruit, cheese, cereals, danishes, etc. Everything needed to jump start a busy day.

Robert was around for directions and dining recommendations, as well as just shooting the breeze during breakfast. We even ran into him and Lance at the movies in Manhattan on Sunday--small world!

Travel time to Manhattan was only thirty minutes or so, and the neighborhood was safe whether during the day or late at night.

It was everything we could've hoped for and often more. Robert and Lance were accommodating and gracious, and the house was just terrific. I highly recommend a stay here if New York is too expensive or crowded. It serves as a reminder that there's more to New York City than just Manhattan!!

I hope we'll get the chance to stay again NEXT year!

It was so nice to come "home" to the Loralei after the hustle of Manhattan to recharge. The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean. Robert is an amazing person who made us feel like family. He was helpful in every aspect of our stay. The breakfasts were delicious, varied and always included fresh fruit and delicious coffee. We will certainly stay there again and would highly recommend the Loralei to anyone visiting New York.

The innkeeper contacted us before we arrived with helpful information on directions from LaGuardia. He greeted us at the door with a subway map and a tour of the beautifully updated Victorian home. Our party of 3 stayed for four nights and we will be back. The coffee was rich and the continental breakfast perfect. It was a short walk to the Newkirk subway stop (B & Q lines). On our last day, the innkeeper arranged for a car to pick us up for the return flight to LGA. In summary, the property was great, but the level of service was unprecedented in my many years of world travel.

“Great intro to the US”

7/7 found this review helpful

What a great place to stay - while researching accommodation in NY I came across this B&B and thought the reviews can't be this good, it just seemed to good to be true.

I made enquiries via email and every response was positive so thought there may be some truth in the reviews so decided to book.

Our flight from Australia was delayed approx 7hours which meant we landed in NY at 12;30 at night. Luckily I had managed to email Robert and advised of the delay, I spoke to him when we touched down in LA and he said to call him again when we got to NY and he was up and waiting for us when we arrived. After such a set back his welcome was really appreciated. From that point on all I can say is that our stay was a great introduction to the US - nothing was to much trouble for him.

The location was excellent, some may think you're along way out of town but 20-25 minutes and you're in the heart of NY plus you get the bonus of seeing and meeting the locals which is what travel is all about.

Other reviewers have covered all the other positive aspects of staying
at this B&B and all I can do is agree with them, I look forward to returning and have no hesitation in recommending this B&B to anyone.

This was our second stay at the Loralei. We cannot say enough about our host Rob. He was so helpful and generous, making our stay memorable. We stayed in the Gramercy room, a quiet retreat from long days of exploring New York City. There are lots of great places to eat nearby, check out the Farm on Adderly and Afganistan restaurants. The subway is so convienient, only a two minute walk. We will definitely be back!
