We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is very nice and simple, with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The main downside was that the rooms aren’t very soundproof, so we could hear noise from other guests, but it didn’t impact our overall stay. The area and neighborhood are great, with plenty nearby and close access to the subway, which made getting around very easy. Overall, a great experience – we would definitely stay again. Reception staff were so lovely - can’t fault this place 10/10.

We had a fantastic stay. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was excellent---cozy, but SO comfortable. The scent in the room was overpowering at first, but natural and not synthetic-smelling, so it didn't bother me long term. It may bother others. The bed was a cloud of comfort. Having a little kitchenette was actually amazing---even in such a small room---and was something I didn't realize I needed in a hotel room. The pour-over coffee was an amazing touch. Our room was missing creamer, but didn't bother asking for some because it was good coffee as is, but that is a detail that should be checked. The location was really convenient for subway access and was walkable to a show at Warsaw, which is why we were visiting. A great weekend!

Great Stay.

We enjoyed our stay at The Penny Williamsburg. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. Nice little courtyard out back and we had a nice dinner at ElNico, their rooftop restaurant. Only a few minutes walk to the L train station. We loved the pour over coffee in the room and the free coffee downstairs in the morning.
