Acquaint yourself with this entirely new Brooklyn hotel, conceived to create an authentic travel experience integrated into the fabric of the local landscape.This perfectly positioned Brooklyn NY hotel sits squarely at the intersection of four intriguing neighborhoods:Downtown Brooklyn, home to the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the court houses and the offices at Metrotech center.Boerum Hill, where streets are lined with elegant brownstones and French bistros.Cobble Hill, a blend of old world shops and bakeries and gardens.Carroll Gardens, an old-fashioned Italian neighborhood with wide streets, chic restaurants, and antique shops.A design approach intended to appear effortless, combined with a casual attitude, define the hotel, while the beauty and friendly nature of the neighborhoods ensure that guests feel safe and secure as they explore the gems that Brooklyn has to offer. The ambience suggests an artistic local neighborhood refuge providing a unique, insider's experience.

Step into this intriguing and exciting new departure from a typical Brooklyn hotel to discover an imaginative new approach to city living -- smart, clean, simple, and, best of all, casual. Simply put, NU is all about you.

I’m from Brooklyn however I stayed here for a couple’s getaway. The room was clean and modern. The bed was very comfortable but extremely low to the ground. The staff was welcoming and the breakfast was fresh. Overnight Parking lot was expensive

Rooms are not good, USB's did not work, mold in the bathroom, the rooms desperately need an upgrade for the price you pay. Staff were good and friendly , rooms were loud, there are options around that offer better rooms.

NU hotel is in the neighborhood I grew up in, so when I fly in to visit my family, I love that NU hotel is right across the street. Location is key with this hotel! (It’s near almost any train you might need & it’s a hop, skip & a jump to Manhattan) Rooms are clean & quaint. The hotel has the friendliest & most helpful staff ever!

A great location. Staff were friendly and helpful. A special compliment to the manager, Steandly Eko, for helping us secure a ride to the airport. He went above and beyond to help us out. This will be our go to hotel when traveling in NY.

Nu Hotel was comfortable and clean. Staff were pleasant and welcoming and went out of their way to make my stay wonderful. Evening snacks and beverages were a treat, especially the chocolate chip cookies. Fitness room was well equipped and well maintained. A gem of a place.

Great hotel, great price, great location, great amenities. They need better mattresses, but that would be my only complaint. The staff was friendly. The hotel was fairly close to the subway. The breakfast was basic but good for a hotel breakfast.

We chose a corner room, so larger, with a desk, hammock, sofa and chairs. Beautiful floorboards, large bathroom with double sinks and quality products, plenty of room for luggage storage and a safe. Loved the double glazed windows, floorboards and lots of natural light. Watching streetlife was interesting and we loved the small restaurants, laundromat and shops in the area - great local feel. The continental breakfast was great (toast, pastries, yoghurt, tea, coffee, juice) and staff helpful and friendly. Housekeeping was every 2nd day and varied on completeness a bit, but oevrall was great. Bed a bit firm, but honestly, a great hotel and excellent value for money. Cannot recommend this enough and hope to visit again.

The room was not giant but was definitely plenty big enough. The bathroom was nice (including a big walk-in rain shower) and water closet for the toilet. The mattress was not in great shape and needs to be replaced. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The lobby is a great place to hang out and have a free coffee/tea, cookie,and piece of fruit. The windows are not in great shape...they let in too much wind noise and cold air in the winter. There was a lot of street noise because of police vehicles coming and going all times of day and night at the jail building directly across the street. Three different subway stations are a short walk away. Smith Street is one of the nicest walking streets in Brooklyn - lots of restaurants and interesting shops (also check out the similarly nice parallel Court Street. Despite some negatives, the NU Hotel is on balance a nice place to stay and we would stay again.…
