Penny really has it figured out! Thoughtful details and design, easy check in, very friendly and attentive staff. Original artwork, comfy robes, great books and delicious pour over coffee are right in the room! Kitchenette is equipped with utensils, mugs, glasses, a microwave, and a mini fridge with a freezer. The shower is great and the bed was so comfy, everything was very clean. I loved the water filling station in the hallway and the lendable umbrella. Location is fantastic, walkable to so many restaurants/ cafes, etc. and right between two subway stops. The whole experience was vibrant and accommodating, and a fantastic value for the price. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Brooklyn!

We had our wedding guests stay at The Penny, and it was a smashing success!! In addition to the absolutely stunning rooms with a bohemian aesthetic, The Penny was extremely gracious and accommodating. They let us take our first look photographs and video on the balcony and all over the hotel, including in the marvelously cinematic elevator. Linze and the rest of the staff were absolutely wonderful to work with. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the design and comfort of the rooms. It was a wonderful experience. We cannot recommend this gorgeous place enough!

I have found my favorite stay in Brooklyn! My boyfriend and I spent a peaceful, snowy long weekend at The Penny. We fell in love with the whimsical design, friendly service, furry neighbors, and all around comfort. The room was the perfect size for the two of us and larger than other rooms I’ve booked in the city. We sleep like babies in the cozy, clean bed. The bathroom was small but functional. The shower was warm with great water pressure, a big shower head, a detachable wand, and luxurious toiletries. We especially enjoyed the big striped robes. The kitchenette complete with coffee, mini fridge, sink, microwave, caraffe, and mugs and glasses came in handy and made it feel like home. Add in just enough closet space, stretching supplies (yoga mat, block, and roller), a small bench seat

This is a fantastic hotel to stay at if you want to be in Brooklyn. The service is exceptional and the rooms are full of cool pictures and art that really makes it stand out versus other hotels. It also has a bar and overlook of Brooklyn on the rooftop, and it is just around the corner from some good restaurants and grocery stores. The only difficult thing with the whole area is parking, but there is a loading spot to allow you to bring your gear up to your room that is right in front of the door.

Wow! What a great oasis in Brooklyn. Cozy room with nice amenities like pour over coffee, fresh fruit, and a wonderful restaurant and bar in the 11th floor. Yes the room is smaller than a chain hotel but you don’t notice as the boutique-ness makes up for the size. 10 minute walk to McCarren park and many eating and drinking establishments. I met Annie, the food and beverage program manager at the 11th floor outdoor bar area, see picture, who was awesome and a great conversationalist. I highly recommend
