What a great hotel. Everything is so simple yet so perfect...from the ultrahip shower and chalkboard wall in the bathroom, to the simple white and brown color scheme to welcome any traveler. It's close to the Metro stops and in a graet neighborhood, within walking distance of many things to see. more

Was here for the first time for 4 nights for both pleasure and business. Had a wonderful experience. Huge room by NY standards (king bed) and swanky bath (yes, that IS a chalkboard next to the toilet!). Great value for the money. Fair warning: if you like "traditional" hotel decor-- run fast! If you like ultra hip, minimalist, "Ikea-on-steroids" kind... more

I had a nice stay at the Nu hotel! My room was clean, nicely decorated and good size with all mod cons! The staff were nice approachable and very helpful! My only disappointment were the 'bar'...not very big and slightly misrepresented on the website. But aside from that its a lovely place to stay in fantastic location. In close proximity... more

My wife and I wanted to spend a few days of our honeymoon in the NYC area and without breaking our budget. We found a special for the Nu hotel on travelzoo... at $119 per night. After reading the reviews here on tripadvisor, we decided to book. This is billed as a boutique hotel, which we now take to mean... more

My GPS takes me to 85 Smith Street. I didn't see a place to park to unload bags, etc. I called hotel and was told to park right in front, bring bags in and check in...then move car to adjacent garage. When inside, I even asked front desk (Justin) if my car was OK there. He said "yes". While I... more

This is a fantastic hotel. If you've been to New York before, and are now looking for a different experience to the usual one of staying in Manhattan,stay in Brooklyn... and stay here! I've been to New York about 10 times, always staying in Manhattan. I now realise Brooklyn is fantastic and often forgotten. Near the hotel are great bars... more

Nu Hotel is located in a great neighborhood in Brooklyn with lots of small places to eat and convenient access to downtown. Despite the prison just across the street, the area felt safe enough. Had reserved a "Classic King" room through their web site to ensure that we wouldn't be on the noisier street side. But when we checked in... more

When I go to NYC I prefer to stay in Brooklyn even when I'm going to be in Manhattan most of the time I'm there. I've stayed at a couple other hotels in Brooklyn (Marriott, Hotel Bleu) but this is by far my favorite. The rooms are airy and bright, spacious feeling, clean, with a nice modern simple aesthetic. The... more

My wife and I spent a quick night at the hotel. We were out late on Friday night and checked out Saturday morning, so we didn't really spend a lot of time in our room. We booked our room through travelzoo, where we got the hotel's promotional rate for the month of April, of $129 a night, which was a... more
