Hotels in Williamsburg, New York

as expected, the pod room is compact and clean. the shower is great. having the toilet in it is odd. ok for a solo traveler but not ideal for a couple. air con worked well. wifi was good tho not super fast. the location is fantastic, very close to great shops and cafes etc. having a good sized safe under the bed is great to store valuables. the bed is big and comfy - tho it was very easy to bash your leg against the edge of the frame, which i did three times within a day before hanging a towel over it to avoid further leg scuffs! only four hangers in the room but another four delivered swiftly when requested. having a mini fridge in the room would have been welcome.

We were looking for a hotel in the Brooklyn area and chose the Moxy. Rates were higher in September than August, and when we checked in i was surprised at the desk by a request for my credit card to cover ”Destination Fees”. I found out that we would be charged daily and these fees could be used at the bar or for laundry service. What an unpleasant surprise and I did not see it anywhere on the website. We had no plans for needing laundry service but did use the credit at the bar, bur we really had not planned on it. Hotel was nice, but this really turned me off.

The hotel is just a 2-3 minute walk after getting off the subway. Overall, the interior and atmosphere of the hotel itself is pretty, but it was a bit disappointing that it took a while for the hot water to come out and there were no basic amenities such as disposable slippers and water. Still, the hotel overall was pretty and clean, so it was much better than the old place in Manhattan.

We stayed for 4 nights at the hotel for our visit to NYC. As we travelled by car from Boston to Washington DC the hotel parking space was very convenient and not much more expensive then private parking spots where you read sometimes horrible things about. We received a very nice NYC welcome and our superior double room was comfy and, we guess, for NYC standards a rather decent size. The hotel is rather new, the amenities like coffeemaker, TV and others are very good. A bit bigger beds would be nice though. The location itself is not he most sexy place of Brooklyn/Williamsburg but is ok and not so busy or loud as other places. There is a Metro station conveniently located at 100m from the hotel (brown line). There are some restaurants nearby so you could go on foot and return by Uber for around $10 when it rains (yep it rained when we returned to the hotel). We had a hot breakfast one morning and that was very tasty and more than enough. Overall a very nice place to stay and reasonably priced.

I don’t even know where to start, but in short, I wish I didn’t stay here. The hotel elevator was broken and wouldn’t go to my floor (3rd). The fitness center (if you want to call it that), was the size of a closet, which all of the cardio machines broken. There were snacks leftover in the cabinet from prior tenants so clearly the room wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. Dated hotel with the only decent thing being the cold water dispenser in the lobby

Just like others have mentioned, there’s a serious issue with overcharging at their bar, restaurant, and rooftop, and there’s no way to complain. The staff just pass you around from one department to another. For a small charge of $20-30, you’re left chasing them with no resolution in sight. The hotel may look stylish, and the rooms might be Instagram-worthy, but if Arlo put even a fraction of that effort into staff training and making their charges more transparent and fair, they’d be much better off. Their management is a complete mess—it’s a classic case of ‘all that glitters is not gold.’ I live in New York, and staying at local hotels for a staycation is something I enjoy. I chose Arlo Williamsburg because I like the rooftop in this area. I’ve been to the rooftop bar at Arlo before, and it has a great view and weekend party vibe, but I had no idea it’s not free to enter. I was there previously because my friend booked it, and we just showed up. I also didn’t know that even if you’re a hotel guest, you can’t just head up to the rooftop bar. The pool? Forget it. Unless you’re willing to spend $300-500 on top of the already limited two-person allowance per room. And on top of that, they charge a $34.38 resort fee, which is usually for hotels with pool access, but you don’t get to swim. The real issue started when the check-in guy gave me a card saying I had a $20 credit for restaurant use. But he didn’t tell me it only applied to food, not drinks, and it wasn’t written on the card. I ordered an Old Fashioned at the bar, assuming I could use the credit, because I wasn’t interested in their food. I even asked the bartender, who seemed new and unsure about the guest credits, but she said I could just charge it to my room and it would be deducted, so I went ahead. A week later, I saw a charge of $28+ on my card and called to ask why. They explained the credit is only for food, not drinks, but no one told me that. I tried to explain, but they just passed me to other customer service reps and told me to send emails here and there. I wasted an entire afternoon trying to sort this out, and in the end, I called my bank to cancel the charge. Over a month later, the bank said Arlo provided proof of the charge, so I still had to pay for it. Funny how Arlo suddenly became so responsive when it came to proving this charge, but I was done fighting at this point. It left a bad taste in my mouth, and I’ve decided I will never stay at any Arlo property again. As for the rooms, they may look nice, but the quality is lacking. The shower gel bottle was empty, and no one even checked to refill it. The room itself was tiny, barely any space to turn around, and definitely not kid-friendly—you’ll be bumping into everything. 2 points are for the Instagram looks

Excellent Hotel. Friendly Staff. Great location 5 mins walk to metro station and streets around with nice restaurant and shops. Rooms decorated well and bed super comfortable. Always excellent showers at hoxton's! Improvements: access to rooftop during day for hotel guests. All the current open space is occupied by day time workers hotdesking. Wider variety of food options. Multiple places but all the same cuisine! Would highly recommend highly as perfect spot to explore new York!

Augusto has made the CODA experience a great one, both at the front desk and in charge of the pool club. The pool is large, allows for sun or shade and there's a nice weekend environment (cool and approachable). Gusto is welcoming, professional, knowledgeable of Williamsburg and seems very-liked. Stephanie and Van were very helpful at the bar, too.

This hotel is immaculate and absolutely everybody is above and beyond pleasant. Though not directly affiliated with the hotel, Inexpensive, super clean and very easily accessible parking is a two minute walk away at 25 Kent St. We paid $64 for 2 1/2 days of parking. The room was incredible. Exposed brick walls with super high ceilings, the bathroom had a huge tub and a wonderful shower. Pro tip: if traveling with someone that you do not want to see you naked, understand that it is not a one-way mirror over the bar and you absolutely CAN see into the shower While someone is showering. Luckily I was with my daughter, so this was not a real issue. The restaurant within the hotel and the Ramen place directly next-door are both wonderful. I did not make it to the rooftop bar this time but since I absolutely will stay at this hotel every time I come to visit I will check it out next time! The room was extremely quiet, temperature was easy to control. Now, a little too much honesty, I am an extremely “sensitive” person, and resting and hearing so much from the second I stepped into this hotel. I was never scared, as I definitely don’t typically get scared, but I had numerous very genuine and very obvious things happen while I say that this hotel, such as seeing things walk across the hall in both my room and the hallway, in the main lobby bathroom someone walked into the bathroom and into the stall next to me, but never left, and when I looked, there was no one there,and I was in the shower. I could hear several men talking to each other as if they were right next to me. I was definitely not hearing people from another room. I also heard the door to the stair well open, which is right next to our room and I was right next to the door so when I looked, there was nobody there and I pulled it shut again. Just out of curiosity, as to what was there prior to the hotel, on the way home my daughter looked up the history to the hotel. Let’s just say it was very enlightening as to why i was experiencing so much activity in this hotel, especially on the third floor next to what I will assume would have been a fire escape at some point. It also may explain why the first thing that went through my mind when I opened the front door of the hotel and turned to my daughter and said “I’m surprised the hotel gets away with door opening inward. It goes against fire code. Anyway, You can look up the history yourself and understand all that I have said. :-)  either way, a spectacular hotel at a decent price and a very safe and beautiful part of the city. I will definitely stay here again!

Only cons is that room is super small. Came from another state in US therefore me and friend had 4 huge luggages. We could only open up one and even that, we had to utilize our bed as there’s no extra space to put it, the walking space alone is very little. Location is good though, easy to go around - loved the fact that the subway is less than 5 mins walk. Service and cleanliness can be improved.
