Room was spotless! Nice staff
Chris, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was perfect for our stay. The bed was very comfortable, the room was clean and well appointed. The kitchen was well supplied and the couch and table were put to good use. Franklin Guesthouse was very close to the person we were visiting, we walked to restaurants and grocery stores. Very convenient! And a big bonus, friendly staff! Will definitely stay here again.

8/10 Very good

Another good stay at the FG in lovely Greenpoint. A great option, especially for those who prefer Brooklyn and want a little more space for their money.
Jonathan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is the place to stay....

This hotel offers the largest rooms with a kitchen for the money in NYC. Get one of the suites with the patio. Go to Madre downstairs for an excellent brunch. Highly recommend the french toast.
Tiffanie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was amazing and clean. However my first day, the girl with the glasses at the front desk and her friend that worked there were rude. The one with the glasses was impatient with me as I was getting my credit card out to put a hold on the room. I just saw her recently and don’t think she should be working there at all. She’s immature and unprofessional. These girls escalated the situation by being rude and then flipped it around after I defended myself. I would stay here again if they’re not here anymore. They don’t deserve a job there.
Avishai, 1-night trip

Wonderfully spacious rooms, well stocked and very friendly staff. Hope to stay here again.

My daughter had surgery and the staff was very helpful. They extended our stay without moving us from our room. Helped tremendously. They honored our request to have big windows with sunlight etc. This was my third stay and will definitely stay again!

Great location if you’re in Greenpoint… Staff friendly and very helpful. Rooms are clean and very large for NYC area…. Will certainly stay there again
Bill, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, very clean and comfortable. Nice to have a kitchenette although could be a little better equipped. The bed was on the noisy side if you’re not just sleeping in it. Would recommend for a solo traveller, maybe check elsewhere if you’re looking for romance.
Alexander, 3-night trip

This property was so clean and beautiful. The staff was very accommodating as well. Would highly recommend!

The location in Greenpoint was close to LaGuardia Airport and made it easy to access. Also, great walkable location to restaurants and coffee shops. Our room was spacious, updated and clean.
Philip, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not stay at this hotel. The staff is rude, it has a musty smell and the rooms look out onto a cement wall. I did not feel safe here and switched hotels.
