The wife and I needed to escape from the kids and the suburbs! Spent two nights at Nu and really enjoyed it. We'd never spent any time in this part of Brooklyn, and there was lots to do. Nu is on the corner of Smith and Atlantic, and Smith is just one nice restaurant next to a nice bar, next... More

Sounds like we need to create a package called "NU Escape!". Thanks for the great review. We are very pleased to have provided a little escape for you that was relaxing and care free. Please do not hesitate to reach me directly the next escape. We will probably have the package available by then! You can reach me at info@nuhotelbrooklyn.com.... More

I stayed for ten days at the NU Hotel in late November / early December 2011. It’s a lovely, low-key, laid-back, eco-friendly boutique hotel with fantastic staff. Spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Free wi-fi, breakfast (bagels, pastries, coffee, juice, fresh fruit salad), iPads and bicycles. A couple of blocks from the subway, where the A train gets you to Times... More

We stayed there for a night in December. Of course the hotels in Manhattan is quite expensive this time of the year, so decided to stay at NU Hotel. That was a great decision for us! The room is very specious compared to Manhattan standard and very clean on top. We will stay there next time when we stay in... More

Stayed two nights 12/30 & 12/31. One of those newer, "european" style hotels! Crisp and clean! Definitely upscale at reasonable prices. Nice touches everywhere. Excellent Service! No glitches in reservations. Fast check-in, check-out. Friendly staff! Good restuarants nearby, within walking distance. Only a few blocks from subway. Parking garage right next door. Full service cable, i.e. HBO, SHO, CINEMAX. WIFI.... More

Was in brooklyn visiting family and this hotel was pretty close to their apartment so stayed here. THe room was dark(which I guess translates to hip) but I wouldn't call it anything special.

We installed soundproof windows on ALL rooms facing Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street in September 2011. We received several guest feedback mid 2011 and made the capital improvement immediately.
