Penny Williamsburg

Same as always...comfy bed, room, great staff and brilliant location.

Nothing

The ambience, room,staff and location are always welcoming. The comfortable bed was superb.. It's an easy place to be and this time we discovered the 2nd floor terrace. What a great little space to read and enjoy complimentary coffee.

The shower is good but the floor outside was always soaked after showering. I would have liked the table on external 2nd floor terrace to be at least wiped down each morning as it had old food and wrappers left on it from a couple eating there previous night. I appreciate the cleaners role doesn't include that but surely deterring rats etc and making it a clean place to sit would be good.

We stayed in the Queen nice room and it was perfect for us. We loved the fact that it had a kitchenette and the decor was very nice. The bed was very comfortable too! We will definitely stay again.

A little pricey but I guess not comparable with most NYC hotels.

Thr whole room was nice.

Personal prepotente. Espacio demasiado pequeño.

Very comfortable and clean! Great location!

Extremely well-designed room, comfortable bed and linens, shower, bathroom...ventilation/ac perfect...intuitive and just super well-thought out accommodations. General vibe: organized, employees happy, good place.

Only thing was not particularly well sound insulated door with adjoining room...group came home at midnight and had "spirited" gathering...but really didn't interfere with sleep...

What a cool hotel. Stayed two nights while moving my youngest into their first NYC apt. Very clean and outfitted. However the BEST thing was the staff. They made me feel so welcome and were SO HELPFUL. I will be back.

Great small hotel in Williamsburg. An excellent alternative to NYC Hotels

Great location. Cool rooms. Outstanding staff.

We had an awesome time. The Penny was great and wonderful location. The front desk and other staff were great. Hotel was comfortable and clean.

We loved our stay at the Penny! We were here for 5 nights for a wedding weekend, and were so comfortable. The room was remarkably quiet, spacious by New York standards, and included a lot of thoughtful extras, like a bathrobe and a kettle and fresh coffee setup. The roof bar / restaurant is amazing as well. We would love to stay here again- having a cool, quiet space at the height of summer in the city made all the difference on our trip! Also, being right in the middle of Williamsburg and near the L/G subway was a perfect home base to get to everything we wanted to do/eat/see.

Perfect, carnival, food, meet, I would say more, but, I couldn’t finish.

Cute hotel in a great location with easy access to the subway. Clean room and roomy

Good size rooms, clean rooms, fun 11th floor restaurant/bar and outdoor area, very friendly staff!

Despite there was a festival celebration outside, I did not hear anything.and slept well

Nothing

We are so thankful to you for all of your support and organization these past many months. It was a pleasure to host our wedding weekend at The Penny! The hotel was clean, tasteful, and stylish. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. elNico was absolutely fabulous. The food was amazing, the staff was so sweet, and the service was impeccable.

It was much nicer than I expected... It was nice... well designed given the space

Great location, convenient to shops, restaurants, cafes, etc.; clean rooms, welcoming and friendly staff, and wonderful rooftop views. El Nico has a beautiful setting and the food and drinks delightful.

Friendly staff and helpful Very clean spaces Parking nearby Easy check in and out

Everything was top notch. Room was really nice the staff was super friendly and attentive. Even the maintenance team was friendly and helpful. I will be coming back and bringing my wife to share the experience with her. Thanks Penny Staff

Had a very nice stay was very professional and comfortable

Smallish rooms but nice.hotel. is in a good location. Had no problem finding street parking close by. The only reason I am taking away 1 star is because the employees were not particularly friendly or helpful and the bathroom is so small that it is difficult to maneuver for morning shower. Wish there was a shelf or counter in bathroom to put our stuff!

The staff at the Penny were wonderful. So welcoming! The hotel is clean and conveniently situated to go into Manhattan or other parts of Brooklyn. We took the ferry to Wall Street and the subway to go other places. There are lots of restaurants, bars, and breakfast spots a short walk away. This is generally the quieter part of Williamsburg, but the festa of Our Lady of Mount Carmel was happening right outside the door, which was great fun. The rooftop bar is also nice, with a lovely view of the Manhattan skyline. Some of the rooms are probably small and some have a bed pushed against the wall, which is more challenging for 2 people we stayed in a handicapped accessible room, which was large for NYC.

The location is great, and the staff is pleasant, helpful, and accommodating. The room was clean but underlit, and the floor and walls had many scuff marks. Electric outlets were not plentiful, and loose. In general, the rooms felt a little overused and like they needed attention.

Great helpful and kind staff. Quite comfortable and clean rooms. The hotel was surrounded by a carnival and we didn’t hear a thing. The decor and art complement the vibe of the hotel. The location was convenient for our itinerary. The Nico rooftop restaurant is a hidden treasure. We loved staying at the Penny

Friendly staff. Nicely appointed room. Great neighborhood location. Easy walkable spot to visit Williamsburg from.

Great location, super clean, well designed rooms, attentive staff, lovely rooftop restaurant with excellent views. Recommended!

Updated and clean property. Room had microwave and refrigerator. It had drip coffee set up, which was good. I would have preferred Keurig in some other similar level hotesl We liked the rooftop lounge area.

The room was real small. The rooms were cleaned very late in the day. if we returned mid-day after lunch, we had to retire in a messy room. There was no fitness room.

Great location in the heart of Williamsburg. The room felt spacious, had great pourover coffee, and yoga mats. The view from the roof was spectacular. And, lastly, the area was quiet with a surprisingly comfortable bed and pillows.

My mini fridge was leaking and ended up getting my clothes quite wet. There was no in-room iron, so it took quite awhile for them to dry.

Excellent location in Brooklyn !

Rooftop, location, staff, free bikes

Everything

Nothing

Staff was very friendly, the artsy vibe and the interior was great

Could have been closer to the subway

Staff is friendly and we love that our dog is welcomed

Beaucoup !

Location and roof top restaurant/bar. Views were amazing.

The bed was screed into the wall so if you needed to get up in the night you had to climb over the other person to get out.

Fabulous place to stay! Staff was friendly and always welcoming. Great location!

The hotel is in a very nice spot in Brooklyn! The shops and restaurants near by were very cool and it was a short trip to Manhattan to see Times Square on the subway. The staff was really helpful and so considerate of our time and needs. The room was so cute! I loved the vibe. I will definitely recommend going there again next time I take a trip to NYC!!

Sehr schönes kleines Hotel in angenehm ruhiger Lage und dennoch dicht an den hotspots. Besonders die etwas individuelle Einrichtung mit vielen netten Details lässt einen sehr willkommen fühlen . Auch das Personal war super freundlich und Hilfsbereit.. wir kommen gerne wieder

Pleasant and professional staff. Clean and neat room. penny is my top of the list for my next trip.

Great experience. Small but mighty rooms. Helpful and kind staff. Great coffee in the morning. Awesome rooftop bar.

L’emplacement top La déco top Rooftop super

Notre première chambre était très bruyante car la fenêtre mal isolée. Nous avons pu changer de chambre et c’était beaucoup mieux !! Par contre la propreté n’est pas au rdv. Pour un 4 étoiles je m’attendais à mieux. La déco est très belle mais je pense de mauvaise qualité : le sol était sale et très abîmé, les portes du meuble cuisine ne ferme pas, les mitigeurs perdent leur couleur etc.

We kicked off the first leg of our honeymoon at The Penny Williamsburg. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating with our earlier arrival. Every detail was so well thought of! Easy access to subway stations and surrounded by coffee shops! Beyond worth the value

Lovely hotel, room and awesome rooftop terrace. Excellent service!! Great safe location.

I stay at the penny frequently. The team is fantastic and always greets me warmly and accommodates me with last minute booking. I can’t speak highly enough of the whole Penny team

It was clean with good amenities. Most of all we loved that it was dog friendly with no additional cost and even provides dog bed and a bowl.

I love the layout of the rooms and everything was very clean

A gem of a hotel. Comfy bed, clean, quality linens, well laid out room, great location to walk in Williamsburg, ample parking outside and a lot down the street for $23/day.

Great stay, fun eclectic hotel, cool rooftop restaurant sand bar, convenient location.

Absolutely delightful Loved the outside bar area and gardens And appreciated the yoga gear in the room Location is awesome

Always a complete pleasure to stay at the Penny Williamsburg! From the friendly staff, to the spotless and comfortable rooms, it is a joy from start to finish.

The place is adorable and very clean

Very good service and advise on where to take a wonderful bike ride. Well-appointed room with nice amenities. Great bar with cocktails, excellent guac and fantastic view from to level. When we messed up the powered window shade, they fixed it swiftly. Would stay here again.

Great location from the train. Quirky atmosphere. Rooms nice with amenities. People all very nice and happy to accommodate all my needs.

Love this hotel! Staff is very friendly and professional. Great rooftop bar and restaurant. Wonderful views. Perfect location convenient to restaurants in Williamsburg and Greenpoint. Good transportation on the nearby L & G trains. My husband and I have stayed here many times and plan to return.

Clean hotel, friendly staff, roof top restaurant and bar, close to subway stop, many restaurants in Williamsburg Neighborhood. Have stayed there twice and would definitely go back again.

Awesome location , nice staff.

Overall amazing place to stay. The rooms were super cool and clean and comfortable. The staff was beyond helpful and were always available which was such a plus. Location was ideal walking distance to everything we wanted to see. 10/10

I really liked the hotel. The rooftop was beautiful. I love that they accept dogs, although I didn’t bring mine. I also love that bikes were available, but I didn’t have time this trip to take advantage. I was there for my daughter’s wedding and she was in the bridal suite. It would have been nice to get a temporary pass to go to the bridal suite floor instead of always having to go down to the ground floor to get staff to allow me ti go to the 2nd floor. What could use some improvement is that the lighting in the bathroom wasn’t sufficient for applying make-up. Also, It would have been nice if they offered small pastries gratis since it was mentioned they are available but not that you need to buy them.

Great location, clean and comfortable room, quiet and no fuss. The penny is great for a quick work stay or a sweet romantic weekend getaway. I will be staying there again in the future.

Honestly, i don't have much to complain about if at all. I had a room that was close to the elevator and was worried it would be noisy, but to my surprise i didn't hear anything all night.

Very comfy bed, nice little space to stay in whilst exploring Brooklyn and Manhattan. Great rooftop restaurant/bar with amazing views. Windows are very noise cancelling but there wasn’t much noise anyway.

Water leaked quite a lot through shower door seal. Rooftop restaurant is separate so can’t access at all times.

Lovely staff, comfortable rooms, good location

Need to keep the room stocked with enough cups, plates, bowls, cutlery for the number of guests that you have. Initially, there were none, then they brought 1, then i had to request a 2nd.

Liked the comfort of the bed, but it would have been too small for two people. This was marketed as a queen sized bed but it was actually a full size bed. The bathroom had a nice shower and offered shampoo/conditioner/hand or body soap, which was nice.

Sitting area not too comfy. Sit on the bed.

Bad experience. The fire alarm went off at 1am and stayed on until 9am. Clearly there was an issue, but when I asked if they could call the alarm company they said they could not, so I'm not sure what was going on. It was awful. Truly 1am to 9am. In the morning I spoke with the manager and asked if they could do something nice for us since it was such an awful night. He did not apologize and instead said: "I think you can understand that this isn't our fault." OK. But how about an apology for the experience, and any offer of something, like complimentary breakfast? Anything? I asked him if the hotel would be doing something for us and he said he would call me back. That was 5 days ago so I don't think I'm going to be getting a call. I get it that the hotel couldn't help the faulty fire alarm system, although... really nothing can be done between 1am and 9am? Isn't that kind of an emergency? And, I would at least expect some kindness and an apology. When we walked in upon arrival no one offered to help us with bags even though there were 3 staff members and no other guests in the lobby. I wouldn't have mentioned that normally-- it's not a huge deal-- but it does seem like there's an issue with hospitality at the hotel. Even an inexpensive motel helps with bags, and I imagine would apologize for an 8 hour alarm...?

Poor hospitality, 8 hour fire alarm, no apology or gesture in response to what happened.

One day of coffee in the room, yoga mat and foam roller. Friendly staff.

Noose/Robe art work was terrible and triggering, fire alarm system fluke on the last night 9/5/25 was intense and made for a rough morning, uncomfortable mattress, slippery bathroom floors.

This hotel is so beautiful and thoughtfully designed. And the staff were really helpful with helping my friend who left his watch in his hotel room.

The staff were supper helpful. We arrived early so we had to store our luggage. But only only did they hold our luggage, we were able to check-in a few hours earlier. The decor is also top-notch.

Overall it was a good stay. It would have been excellent except for a cold shower. I waited several minutes for the water to heat up and it did not. The front desk could offer refunding an "amenities" fee and the manager did not respond to my email.

Cute. Small cute. No complaints really except I wish the window opened more but that’s all hotels pretty much. Worked for what I needed: a place to stay. Staff is so nice and helpful

I really enjoyed my stay at the Penny. The rooms were more spacious than a typical NYC hotel room, had a refrigerator and a microwave, and also had some fitness equipment for use during our stay. The price was incredibly reasonable for NYE, and the location was convenient and comfortable. I highly recommend staying here and think it would be an ideal "home base" for travelers staying for longer durations.

We love the Penny! The staff are so kind and it’s tucked away and quiet (for NYC)! The rooms are small and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Nice hotel with a good vibe in a great location. Lovely view out our window and walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants, metro stops and bars. Bed was super comfortable, although someone does have to sleep against a wall. Well set up with coffee and microwave.

Shower leaked onto floor so there was a lot of water the first time but adjusted where we put towels after to reduce it. There was only one set of cutlery.

Comfortable, nice and dogs!

Barking at night..

Nice room and good price for Williamsburg. Communication was a little tricky early on, but the staff did accommodate once we got closer. Great location near many popular spots. Our room was also surprisingly quiet, which is rare in any city.

The Penny offers a delightful experience with its clean, cozy ambiance and its location in the hipster neighborhood of Williamsburg is super close to the city. Highly recommend!

Favorite hotel I've stayed at in NYC. Homey and fun decor + clean rooms + friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant on the roof is also great and will bring food down for room service. Close to Bedford subway stop, just one stop from Manhattan without all the hustle and bustle and noise that you get when staying in Manhattan. Will be my first choice stay for all future visits to the city

Prime location, everything is walking distance. 24/7 lobby staff. All the employees are helpful. Rooms are clean and well equipped: fridge, microwave, blower, and extra perks like yoga mat and umbrella. I love the adjustable lighting and blinds!!! The neighborhood is safe and nice. The Penny is my home away from home!

It was very convenient to everywhere

The lobby was a little small

Excellent location - friendly front desk staff -beautiful view from restaurant on top floor . Very deceiving photographs ,lack of clarity of charges incurred into the bills example : charging upfront for deduction later . Dollar sign is omitted from pastries presented as if they are complimentary ,but they are not ,plus a tip and taxes over pastries that are self serve. The glass frosted sliding doors for the bathroom were something to get used to - very small spaces.

Super stylisches Hotel in bester Lage. Die Zimmer sind für New Yorker Verhältnisse sehr geräumig! Das Bett ist zwar schmal, aber sehr gemütlich. Die Gegend ist nachts extrem ruhig und dennoch sind coole Cafes, Restaurants, Shops fußläufig erreichbar. Die Metro Station ist etwa 5 Minuten entfernt und man ist in etwa 20 Minuten in Midtown Manhattan. Williamsburg ist generell eine sehr coole Gegend. Morgens gab es in der Lobby immer kostenlosen Cafe der Brooklyn Coffee Roastery, auch am Zimmer hat man die Möglichkeit sich guten Drip Coffee selbst zu machen :) Alle Mitarbeiter sind stets freundlich und hilfsbereit - Wir würden definitiv wiederkommen! :)

Great location. Really nice rooftop restaurant but please change the green/blue lights in elevators made everyone look old. Just so weird and annoying

Great location, easy check in, clean room

Staff were not the most friendly, after seeing great reviews of this hotel I had much higher expectations overall. We had an issue with our room which was dealt with very well, but never really got an apology or offered any help in moving room.
