We had a great experience at the Loralei, and in Brooklyn. After staying in Manhattan many times, we decided to be a bit different and save some money at the same time. We loved being somewhere more quiet where you could walk around a bit without the crowds. Robert was a wonderful host, with lots of good information. The subway was convenient and we found it easier (and faster) than we expected to get all over - went to Yankee stadium in only 40 minutes! The room was impeccable and wonderfully renovated in a great historic house. An excellent value given what you pay for awful little rooms in midtown. Give it a shot - you won't be sorry!

If there could be a special rating for a suberb host, Rob would certainly rate at the very top. The B&B is impeccably clean, restful, and tastefully appointed - a luxurious home. But that's just for starters. My young adult children and I were new to the area, and Rob was extraordinarily helpful in every way, educating us about the subway and the attractions and helping us locate services. He truly understands the needs of both the experienced and novice traveler and is a consummate host. I recommend the Loralei very highly, and from the comments in the guest book, the wonderful treatment we received is typical of the experience of other guests. A visit to the Loralei is a real treat!

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.
