I found Loralei via TripAdvisor, and I couldn't be more pleased. Just a couple blocks from the subway, it's easy to get around, and Robert was ready with detailed directions. This cost so much less, but I got so much more service than a hotel in Manhattan.

If I were to change one thing, it would be a shower head with high-water-pressure choices, but that's a minor thing.

I've been to the The Loralei B&B twice now and I love it there. Robert is very friendly and great with driving directions in Brooklyn and Manhattan. The subway is also very close and easy to use as well. I have stayed in both rooms, both being very clean and well organized. The baths were also clean and spacious. Plus, both rooms are very well decorated, it's a pleasure to be there. I feel like I am living in luxury! I am a business traveler so the wireless internet connection is essential for me and it has worked with no problems. Robert has been willing to accommodate my diet constraints and I always leave in the morning with a good breakfast to start my day. I would definitely reccomend this great place to both pleasure and business travelers.

We spent a lot of time searching various websites to find value for money accommodation in New York.

We then looked at Brooklyn as an alternative and discovered the top rated Loralei on Trip Advisor.

This was time well spent, to find this "Gem" so close to Manhattan.

If you are wanting clean,spacious rooms, excellent fresh breakfasts,in a quiet area of Brooklyn, look no further.

You need to book early to avail yourself of Robert's excellent B&B.

Robert made us most welcome from the minute we pulled up outside his house having followed his excellent directions.

Throughout our stay he was very attentive but not obtrusive.
The Loralei is just around the corner from the subway, so easy access, to Manhattan is there ,when you need it.

We would have no hesitation in recommending the Loralei to everyone

My companion and I could not have been more pleased with our accommodations at the Loralie. We usually stay at a friend's place in Manhattan, but that didn't pan out this year. My companion searched online and came across the Loralie, and it turned out to be a serendipitous discovery. It turned out to be far nicer than we expected--and we had high expectations to begin with. Robert , one of the owners, could not have been friendlier and more helpful. He is a genuinely nice person who wants all of his guests to enjoy their stay!

Our rooms and private bathroom were clean and very tastefully decorated. The Loralei is located in a safe and stable neighborhood with great restaurants within easy walking distance. It's also conveniently located to the subway that will get you to Manhattan within a half hour. The Continental breakfasts were a great way to start the day, with cereal, breads, fresh fruit, yogurt, juice. . . .

I recommend the Loralei without reservation, and I have no doubt that it will be our first choice when staying with friends in the city is not an option. You couldn't find anything nearly as clean, nice and safe as the Loralei for the price in Manhattan! Plus, the icing on the cake was that staying at the Loralei enabled me to discover Brooklyn, and I truly enjoyed it. We found several excellent restaurants near the Loralie, and at prices far cheaper than what you'd pay at similar establishments in Manhattan. The whole neighborhood is quite walkable--I can't wait to return!
