The hype
Great location and friendly staff, but the rooms are tiny and showing their age.
Aloft New York Brooklyn

Boek dit als You want a relatively affordable, subway-connected crash pad in Downtown Brooklyn and plan to be out (or partying) until 2am.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Incredible subway access (Hoyt St & Jay St-MetroTech)
- W XYZ Bar has a genuine social scene
- Cheaper than Manhattan but only 15 mins away
Snel Overzicht: A loud, energetic dormitory for adults that trades sleep quality for location and vibes.
Beoordeeld door @_empressmelanin: I stayed here for a quick Brooklyn trip and was shocked to find an indoor pool—such a rare perk! The room was cozy but super modern, and I loved hanging out on the terrace with my morning coffee. Definitely my go-to for a fun, high-energy stay near City Point.

Reality check
The 'party hotel' reputation is real—expect noise from the rooftop bar and street traffic to bleed into your room.
- You're under 35 and value nightlife over silence
- You need to be at Barclays Center or MetroTech in minutes
- You travel with a dog (very pet-friendly)
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
7.8
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Many guests report missed days or having to beg for fresh towels.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally okay, but grout lines in showers often show age and pink mold.
- Maintenance: High traffic means wear and tear: scuffed walls, chipped furniture, and loose handles are common.
- Linens & towels: Standard Marriott quality—clean but not luxurious. Check for stains upon arrival.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like the signature Aloft perfume; hallways can smell like weed or damp carpet.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the pool actually in the hotel?
Sort of. It's in the adjacent Sheraton. You have access, but it requires walking through a connector and keycards sometimes fail.
How bad is the noise?
Bad. It consistently ranks on 'noisiest hotels in NYC' lists due to the rooftop club. If you sleep light, look elsewhere.
Is there free breakfast?
No. There's a 'Re:fuel' grab-and-go pantry with paid egg sandwiches and coffee. Better options are a 2-minute walk away.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, Aloft is very dog-friendly. $50/night fee + $100 deposit applies.
How far is the subway?
Incredibly close. Hoyt St (2/3 trains) is 2 minutes away; Jay St-MetroTech (A/C/F/R) is 5 minutes.
Is the neighborhood safe?
Yes, Downtown Brooklyn is busy and safe, though it gets quiet/desolate late at night. Standard city awareness applies.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Walk to 'Little Pizza Parlor' on Duffield for a late-night slice—it's better than the hotel snacks.
- ✨
The Sheraton next door has a full restaurant if you don't want to leave the complex but need real food.
- ✨
Use the 'Mobile Key' in the Marriott app to bypass the often-crowded front desk.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'Rooftop Bar' isn't just a hotel bar; it's a third-party nightlife venue (Kimoto) that draws a non-guest crowd.
💡The elevators can be agonizingly slow during morning rush and Friday evenings.
💡The 'City View' rooms often just look at the side of another building unless you're very high up.
💡Housekeeping is sometimes 'on request' only—verify this at check-in if you want daily service.
💡The HVAC units are motion-activated in some rooms, meaning the AC might turn off while you sleep.
