This hotel has very poor management as stated in my title. Also, control issues. The front desk and the GM of this hotel are sloppy, rude, and immature. The hotel itself is decent, but the experience is ruined by a wonky, young, and unresponsive staff. After refusing my payment for making a complaint, this hotel kicked me and my service... More

As with all Aloft hotels, they're on the funky side (neon lighting, fun elevayor floors) and make amazing use of space so the rooms don't feel small. This location really outdid itself on service--we've been to 5-star spots where employees weren't as on the ball. Great experience!

For anyone visiting Manhattan or Brooklyn, this is a great place to stay. It's only one stop over from Manhattan on the train and is in the heart of a vibrant, fun authentic neighborhood. The actual hotel room was very nice - the bed, bathroom, etc. were all great. My only complaints was the paper-thin walls. You could hear conversations... More

They warned me that I might hear a little music from the lounge next door. That was an understatement. I might as well have slept in the lounge. Awful. The walls were vibrating, people were running down the hall shouting and everything smelled like smoke. I would never stay here again.

Hi aramadei, One thing about our guests - they love to have a good time at our trendy hotel. We have an amazing vibe abuzzed with Live Concerts, DJ's, Bands, and feature a panoramic rooftop lounge overlooking the city. I apologize if one of our guests smoked in the hallway as we are a non-smoking hotel. Thank you for sharing... More

We stayed in this hotel as we were fooled by the positive reviews here. Don't get fooled by the positive reviews. They are most probably fake. Also hotel management reports negative reviews and remove them from Tripadvisor. I hope my review stays here. This is the worst hotel I ever stayed in my whole life. And believe me I stayed... More

There are limited choices for hotels in Brooklyn, and the neighborhoods are not well connected by subway although there are a lot of buses. There are 3 hotels on Dufferin near Fort Green Park. This one is quite nice but, of course, NYC expensive. The immediate neighborhood is decidedly mixed but safe. It is near downtown Brooklyn (think Shake Shack!).... More

Upon entering we had a Wow experience, stylish hotel, nice room,great bed and the connection to Manhattan is perfect. Glad that I booked the hotel as a SPG award. But......... What a disappointment that basic hotel service is not provided! Very noisy (can hear the neighbours talk),kids were on the 23rd floor and had to be relocated the next day,... More

We ended up in the Aloft in Brooklyn rather unexpectedly on a Saturday night. We had been let down by the accommodation we had booked and just walked in off the street in desperation. I have to say we were pleasantly suprised by what, at first sight, seemed like some sort of backpackers' hostel. The rationale of this hotel appears... More

Hey folk, here my experience at Aloft Brooklyn. I spent almost 3 months in to the Aloft hotel in Brooklyn NYC. Early on the idea of spending so much time in a "cold hotel's room" pushed my feeling down but honestly, now I wish I could stay there more! The guys at the front desk made me feel at home... More
