    It was a bit strange, the woman in front lobby wasn’t very explanatory or efficient. She forgot to have me sign the paper for the companion dog, and she gave me a room that wasn’t the one I had chosen on Booking. I have to spoke with the manager, and at first, she tried to convince me that those were general photos when I know I always choose the room according to the photo. She told me there were no more rooms available because they were all booked. I told her to give me my money back and I would leave. When I said that, she told me she would give me a room like the one in the photo and offered me two welcome cocktails. What I don't understand is why she first tells me one thing and then another (although I appreciate her attention). Then they gave me the key to change my luggage to the new room (they never offered to have the bellboy help me). In the room transfer process, I forgot the key to the previous room with my things inside. I told the cleaning lady, who was right there and saw me come and go several times, and she said she couldn’t open the room. Wich I don’t understand if she saw me , I had to go back down to request a new key. The woman at the desk gave me the wrong key( again, another mistake ) and I lost about two hours in the whole process. My stay was only for one day, which I couldn’t enjoy much because the pool, losing time resolving these issues. I feel that they need to be more attentive and efficient. It’s a very beautiful hotel of VERY high quality, and the staff should not ruin the experience for guests. Thank you

    I love the style decoration , rooms , smell , etc its wonderful

    The party on the rooftop went late into the night and I could hear the music in my room. The $15 credit is only available at the downstairs restaurant for dining in at dinner. The booking said $15 food/drink credit so that was a bit misleading.

    Rooftop pool was great. Hotel was clean.

    I couldn’t get a kettle to my room. I always ask for a kettle if it’s not a already in the room since I’m a big tea drinker and the fact that I couldn’t get one and when I asked at the restaurant for it or for hot water they were kinda weird about it.

    I really liked that we got upgraded to a room with a nicer view and that we were able to have a bed at the rooftop terrace. The lady at the desk who welcomed us was amazing.

    There seems to be changes and information that all staff aren’t aware of. The $15 daily credit was an issue that staff were unaware of and some saying they weren’t aware of this or how it worked. The sliding door for the toilet area in the room gets stuck and comes off the rails which is a pain.

    The decor was beautiful and modern. The attention to aesthetic detail was very impressive. The staff are very responsive to queries. The food in Sungold’s really good and the rooftop’s amazing for drinks and atmosphere.

    The roof is accessible by the public and there are only 2 lifts (no option to take the stairs!) and these can take ages to arrive for hotel stayers. I experienced two occasions at the front desk of feeling belittled by staff, like I wasn’t the type of person that should be staying in the hotel! Very rude. The rooms are small, don’t expect a big room but great views if you have a balcony

    Amazing views, great roof top pool and bar. Clean

    Short stay in Williamsburg. Brooklyn

    Be prepared for Williamsburg, it is not a quiet place of a night. The area has a party vibe especially at the weekends. We knew this going into our stay and thankfully the noise wasnt all night but it was ongoing late a night. Especially if there is a party on the roof of an evening. I think the rooms could benefit with improved double glazing/insulation. The balcony doors let in quite a bit of noise.

    Room was an ok size for New York, really comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Staff were really friendly and the hotel was in a great position to explore Brooklyn/Williamsburg. Lots of great places to eat and drink close by. Views from the balcony over Manhattan were amazing!

    We used often about the roof being open to multiple members of staff and we never really got an answer. Then we tried it on the off chance one day and it was open which was frustrating as it was one of the main reasons we booked the hotel.

    Room was beautifully designed and to our taste! Balcony was a great addition and worth the extra money.

    Initially we were put in a room on a floor where they were doing construction/renovations There was a builder sawing and drilling on the balcony next door We asked to be moved and they graciously did so, just not sure why anyone would be allocated a room next to all that noise & building work going on Pool/rooftop wasn’t open even though it was beautiful weather

    Great location, lovely welcoming staff on the desk particularly Maya Nice views of the city from our room - request a High floor when booking

    It’s very expensive. As an Australian visiting New York (my daughter lives in a tiny apartment close to the Arlo so I couldn’t stay with her), staying in hotels is almost prohibitive. Perhaps a deal for a long stay could be offered?

    The friendly staff and great location. The rooms were clean and I enjoyed the restaurant and bar area.

    The shower was a little annoying the glass door wasn't keeping water in the shower. But other than that I love this hotel I will absolutely be back.

    I loved the room, but the room that was in the description wasn't the room I got. I got my city view which I loved but the room I got was a little more basic than I wanted. The breakfast was amazing 👏🏾 🤩 I'll be coming back just for breakfast. Absolutely add it to your room it's so worth it.

    There were a couple of things I would have improved, though the state of the room was not very well maintained. I would also suggest providing even a small amount of toothpaste

    My stay in NY was also special because of the stay in the neighborhood and the atmosphere at the hotel. Very comfortable and very kind staff.

    The bathroom fixtures are all super high end (waterworks) but it feels like the contractor who installed them did not pay any attention. Almost everything leaks, is installed crooked, or not tightened. The shower glass partitions don't extend far enough to keep the rest of the bathroom dry. We had to be moved to another room part way through our stay since the room above us was leaking heavily into ours through the ceiling. We weren't compensated for the interruption either. Not even an apology. We got ghosted by the hotel staff when following up.

    Lovely rooms and common spaces. Great scent in the lobby. Great location, quick walk to the L or G trains. Lots to see and eat in Williamsburg.
