The industrial aesthetic and environmental no frills considerations of the Boro Hotel make it efficient. The room was clean and comfortable. However, the furniture, environment, and amenities are not what I would expect for a 4-star hotel. I felt that the nearby Hyatt and Hilton Home2Suites (where I have also stay in the past 3 months) were more comfortable. This was a little disappointing for my 4-star splurge.

property was excellent, hidden on a corner with the best view of the Brooklyn bridge

The good: A modern hotel with spacious rooms and an industrial, uniquely minimalist look and feel. Close to the subway and convenient access to Manhattan. Very safe neighborhood; anyone claiming otherwise just isn’t used to being in an urban environment. The bad: Unfortunately I felt that there is much left to be desired. For the price I paid and the listing description, I had higher expectations. In my opinion this isn’t a luxury hotel but rather a 3 star claiming to be a 4 star. I noticed the rooms needed a lot of maintenance; for example the chair and tv had scratch marks. The bathroom door was also rotting at the bottom due to its close proximity to the shower. The listing claims the rooms are soundproof, but if that’s the case why did I hear my neighbors crystal clear - everything from high heels, their voices, toilet flushing and more. The fact you have to ask for a refrigerator is also ridiculous. Finally, the practice of charging resort fees needs to end. I made it clear to the receptionist that I wasn’t going to use any of the resort fee associated amenities, yet they still said it was required. Just a way to increase revenue and in the end wasn’t a lot, but is one of those junk fees that makes comparison shopping more difficult for the consumer and hopefully gets banned in the future. I’m not one to usually write bad reviews but I felt it was important to share my experience with others. I won’t be back.

This was our second time staying. Picking a room with the New York skyline is a must. Floor to ceiling glass with a balcony that you can step out onto. The hotel rooms are in great condition and very clean. We haven't tried the restaurant yet, but in the morning you'll find magnificent pastries from a nearby bakery. If I had to complain about something it would be the lack of furniture given that the rooms are big enough. An arms chair and a bench for your baggage would be a great perk. Otherwise a great place to stay.

Very cool property with amazing views of Manhattan. Convenient access to the subway. Overall, a great place to stay.

Stayed on the 11th floor, spectacular view! Has a sparse industrial loft aesthetic. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful!

It’s a nice find. Close to the subway, many rideshare vehicles nearby in minutes. Very clean. I like the hotel design of the Hotel, I travel A LOT! I call it Euro-Urban-Industrial-Chic LOL. Parking is a challenge if you have a car. Their lot is 5 blocks away and they have no valet. Rooms could use better lighting, but during the daytime it’s ok as windows are HUGE and many rooms have some type of balcony. The battery that operates the room safe was dead, but I didn’t need it so I didn’t report it. Would I stay here again? Yes. That said, there are many boutique hotels in the area and next time I might try another. I prefer properties like this to Hampton Suites for example.

Love this Place

The lady overnight at the desk with the red hair and glasses was the best she definitely showed great hospitality for my birthday . She’s a keeper

Overpriced little to no service. No microwave, or fridge was offered. The location is sketchy. Nice staff but not worth the price tag.

Great spot for a nice getaway! Get the studio king room with the tub and balcony. Only con is no complimentary breakfast but there is a free glass of house wine from 6-7 PM. Really nice!

Our 2nd time staying here and very happy with this hotel. The view of the Manhattan skyline from the room is magnificent. The front-desk and restaurant staff are very kind and efficient! We will definitely be back!

I like the view. Didn’t like that in the room were no place to put our clothes, was only one chair

Great hotel

The Boro Hotel was the perfect local home away from home. Arriving at the front desk the staff was very warm and inviting. They got me set up and upon entering my room it felt very clean and cozy. The view was stunning overlooking the river, bridge, and Manhattan city lights. The pressure for the shower was a highlight. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for making it a comfortable and pleasant stay.

For a boutique hotel nothing felt special about it. It has gorgeous architecture and views, but the room truly is a blank canvas. For the basic room which is still 300-400 per night there is not even a fridge. The bed was uncomfortable both a hard and almost creaky mastress and plushness of the sheets and bedding was absent. You could hear the pipe work making it a loud stay. (IE every time the room next to you used the water you hear almost rattle sound in the pipes) My room was also next to laundry which for cleaning towels and sheets was excessively noisey. The roof for more Manhattan views is also only open in the summer- something that is not advertised.

Felt like a crappy deal, for a less than mediocre place, in an OK-at-best area. LIC is very convenient & still up & coming (this & the surrounding blocks are still in progress). The hotel itself feels cheaply done. Like you think you’re getting a nice place but everything looks and feels…. Meh. They use the “industrial” look to mask for using inexpensive materials and apparently, poor craftsmanship. For example, the sliding pocket door kept getting stuck in place or coming off the rails. I literally was trapped in the bathroom for a few minutes! The staff are kind - I has to ask to make sure there weren’t pets in the room recently (since we had someone with severe allergies) and they made sure to check the system for bookings within the month that were pet-free. That was nice. The bed (mattress) was luxe feeling, but the bedding felt like hospital quality thread counts and softness. Pretty disappointing.

The service was unresponsive to multiple requests and the woman screaming all through the night with no intervention by hotel staff was unacceptable. The food was great and the rooftop bar was very nice. Otherwise, not pleased and we will look for other lodging when we return to New York.

Staff was professional and friendly

Very comfortable bed. Housekeeping excellent. One hard chair. TV could only be seen from bed.

Nice hotel - good location - and great views of the city. Only complaints: the wifi was really really bad! And the restaurant that serves an excellent breakfast opens too late (at 8 am).

Great

I enjoyed the view.

This hotel appears to have been a repurposed parking garage, bare cement ceilings with exposed pipes and plumbing. Definitely a minimalist modern design and furnishings, but almost too much so. Large rooms with two very comfortable beds. A simple desk and chair next to the TV. Spare bathrooms with simply a toilet, bathroom sink, and a walk-in shower with no door, just a glass partition separated from the sink area. But no other furnishings such as a dresser, a closet, no mini-fridge and no microwave. So the rooms are not worth the high price. But the restaurant, BeeBees on the first floor was excellent, food was delicious, and reasonably priced. And the staff was excellent attentive and helpful. Overall a mixed review, pluses and minuses, we are not likely to wish to return.

Property is trendy ! Clean and comfortable for the most part . Rooms lack shower privacy ( no doors) Smell of weed and cigarettes could be overwhelming at times . Great place for couples, not so much for family’s with kids Price is right and it’s clean enough

Is just like the description, clean and safe

We stopped by hours before our check-in time to see if we could leave our bag at the desk for a bit, and they offered to let us check in early. After almost four hours in transit getting to The Boro (via car, train, subway, and on foot), it was so nice to be able to get into our room, drop all of our things, and wash up and relax for a little bit before going out to explore the neighborhood.

Bathroom was very dirty . The receptionist changed my room but the other room didn't have the balcony I paid for

Really pleased with my stay, neighborhood was quiet. Easy walk to the subway and close to convenience stores for quick pit stops. Easy to navigate and room was nice.

Great stay.

The view from the Manhattan side is truly outstanding. The interior is sparse but clean. Bathroom is great. If the shower had a glass side would have been a killer.

good hotel with a minimal industrial aesthetic in a convenient location
