Our room was VERY spacious, particularly for New York. Lots of room to spread out and work, if that is part of your plan. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was good and a real bargain for New York. Sitting areas were plentiful and spacious and the always-available cucumber-infused water was delicious. The hotel is wonderfully quiet, for those seeking a quiet haven.

Fitness room is VERY dark and should be brightened up. It would be great if coffee was available throughout the day. Location is a bit distant from the local restaurants and the fact that the hotel sits at the edge of an industrial area means you can hear the trucks early in the a.m. but it’s still worth the stay.

The bed was so comfortable and the room had everything I needed. The hotel was stylish, lovely art in the room. I didn't know there was a gym and was delighted there was one. The location was very close to whom I was visiting so it was perfect but also a lovely treat for my holiday. Massive 2 tv's in the room, couch, great wifi

Nothing, it suited my trip perfectly.

The room was spotless and the quality of the linen was great. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The suite felt very homey yet luxurious.

The nearest subway station is a little more than a 10 minute walk which isn't great but not too bad at all.

We had a loft suite which was bigger than we expected, especially for New York so we were delighted, it was a great size , the hotel is very cool and nicely decorated and designed pretty laid back but well done staff were lovely

Our suite was on the ground floor which was a bit odd as it was called a ‘ loft suite ‘ The issue with this was the noisy traffic which bellowed through our room in the middle of the night at times , as our suite was right on the corner of a cross street It wasn’t all the time at night ,but definitely happened a few times when we were asleep which woke us up unfortunately However on balance this didn’t completely spoil our stay it was such a great room and hotel we would definitely stay here again And to be honest we could have complained and moved to an upstairs room which might have helped ,but we didn’t know until after our first night so didnt bother If we stay again though we will definitely ask for a room on a higher floor which might help , but it is New York after all

We stayed in the Penthouse Loft (Roof Deck) and the view was stunning - we could see the whole of Manhattan including the Empire State & Crysler. The room was spacious and very comfortable. Quirky but lovely hotel. Quiet and peaceful which is hard to come by in this city! Surrounding area is very nice - feels safe, beautiful nearby park, walkable to vibrant Brooklyn retail areas.

20-30 minute walk to nearest subway station going to manhattan. 10 minutes walk to groceries. Kitchen in penthouse fairly basic with limited equipment such as baking trays. Breakfast was ok for $10 - fruit, yogurt, cereal, choice of 2 or 3 pastries.

Everything - a character building with interesting decor. Helpful friendly staff. Loft suite was huge for myself and adult son. Heating and cooling was great. A good gym and sauna. Lots of complimentary touches. Easy flat walk to subway station on Manhattan Avenue that's then an easy 20 minute commute to Manhattan. The area (Greenpoint, Williamsburg etc) is full of great bars, cafes, restaurants, cheap eats, parks, Banks and great shopping. Young residential area - few Tourists. I've stayed in Manhattan many times but wouldn't again with this hotel the much better option.

This is a lovely hotel in williamsburg, brooklyn. if you are looking for somewhere a little quieter than the normal williamsburg hotels this is a great location away from the parties! The room we chose was massive, with a great terrace and awesome views over Manhattan. Hotel is about 20 minutes walk from subway and similar to get to the bars/restaurants of Williamsburg. There are however some great local places to eat. We managed to get food delivered from local takeaways which was a great way to enjoy our room. Included breakfast was basic but sufficient to get the day started. Hotel lobby was very comfortable. Staff were amazing, always on hand to answer questions and help us where we needed it. We would certainly come back and stay at the hotel when we come back to Brooklyn in the future.

We knew about the location when we booked so it wasnt a shock. Going one way out of the hotel the area is very industrial but again we knew this before we booked. If you go the other way its residential and a better option to walk! We did have noisy neighbours on one of our nights but thankfully that was only for a few hours, that said we could hear a lot in our room from the room across the hall.

The hotel is very nice looking, clean, and the staff were super friendly! The location was super convenient for both the event my friend and I attended, as well as to restaurants, bakeries, and a really cute chocolate shop. It was easy to get around the area and find the hotel again, even though we're both not great at directions.

The layout of the room with the pull out sofa was a little cramped to get around, and it was difficult to tell the size from the pictures online, but it worked out well for our needs either way. The room also seemed to get and stay quite warm regardless of what we set the temperature to, which could be a plus for some people.

This hotel is near where my daughter moved and not far from the subway. we stayed in room 217 it was quiet even though it faced the street. I thought the staff was exceptional. So nice and helpful from the front desk to the cleaning staff. Our room was huge. plenty of closet space. Coffee tea and bottled water free with fridge in room. bed comfortable. heat easy to set. balcony was large but we did not use as it is winter. my only complaint is the bathroom was cold.

no heat in bathroom

The Henry Norman Hotel is located in a nice and quiet neighbourhood. We really enjoyed the laid-back vibe and the restaurants and bars nearby. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Moreover, we had a coffee machine in our room, which was a big plus. The view from the terrace is amazing, especially at sunrise. All of the staff were really friendly and attentive. We definitely hope to come back.
