Had a lovely stay near Prospect Park with helpful staff. ENJOYED being close to Starbucks and a barbecue restaurant. Would choose it again. Better than photos!

The rooms at Gowanus Inn & Yard are super cozy and quiet, with a modern vibe that makes you feel right at home. The private bathrooms are a nice touch, and the designer toiletries add a touch of luxury. As a light sleeper, I really appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and comfortable amenities.
The only thing I wasn't too keen on was the limited bathroom counter space. But that's just my personal preference, and I'm sure others wouldn't mind it at all.

A truly unique experience! I discovered a whole new side of the city during my stay. The hotel was conveniently located near major attractions and neighborhoods. The room was modern and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed. I particularly enjoyed the designer toiletries in the bathroom. The 24-hour reception was a lifesaver for my late-night cravings. Plus, being able to walk to popular bars and restaurants made my solo trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Me and my buddies had a blast exploring the Brooklyn Academy of Music and hitting up the Cruise Terminal. The hotel's location was awesome and allowed us to easily check out all the cool spots around town.
If I could ask for one thing, it would be for the hotel to have a more happening nightlife scene. It would've been epic to have a bar or some fun hangout spot within the hotel where we could keep the party going!

The boutique hotel's industrial chic decor was delightful and provided a comfortable and stylish setting for senior guests. The general areas were thoughtfully designed with easy accessibility and spacious layouts, allowing for a relaxing and stress-free stay. Additionally, the hotel's location in a renowned neighborhood made it convenient to explore the local charm and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Brooklyn.
More assistance from the children of the staff for senior guests.

The chill vibes at the hotel were just what I needed after a bustling day out - the cozy sitting area downstairs was perfect for grabbing a selfie or chilling out, and having loads of dining options just a stone's throw away was super convenient. While the thin walls could be a bit of a downside, they weren't a deal-breaker as the comfy bed and the hotel's cleanliness definitely made up for it. a solid spot for budget travelers looking for a relaxed stay close to good eats and easy transit 🌟.

Rooftop Terrace: On my last night at this hotel, I decided to take in the stunning city views from the rooftop terrace. It was like being on top of the world, with the city lights twinkling below and the cool night air adding a magical touch to the atmosphere. It was the perfect end to an unforgettable stay.
Housekeeping Issues: Limited housekeeping.

I recently stayed at a hotel with a great location, surrounded by many restaurants and trendy areas. Cab rides to Red Hook Cruise Terminal were short, and we were also close to public transportation. The room was well-maintained, the bathroom was small but functional, and the service was friendly. We didn't try the hotel's breakfast, but we enjoyed the lounge area. However, the noise level was a little high, and some other guests weren't very considerate with their smoking habits.

My stay at Gowanus Inn & Yard was enjoyable for the budget traveler. The modern decor, friendly staff, and comfortable bed made for a pleasant experience. The nearby bagel shop and easy access to the subway added convenience. Despite some room size concerns, the location's safety and surrounding eateries made up for it. Nearby landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty provided great family bonding opportunities.

the staff at Gowanus Inn & Yard are always friendly and welcoming, ready to answer any questions you may have. the location is perfect, just near Atlantic Ave, and there are plenty of local delis and restaurants within walking distance if you need a midnight snack. the rooms are always clean and well-maintained, with some even offering a great view of Manhattan at night. On top of that, the prices are often under $100 a night, making it a fantastic choice for budget-conscious travelers.

The location was perfect for exploring Brooklyn, with easy access to the Brooklyn Academy of Music and other notable attractions. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made our stay memorable. The unique satellite programming provided entertainment for the whole family, with a variety of shows and movies to enjoy after a long day of sightseeing.
In my wife's opinion, it would have been great to have a dedicated play area for children within the hotel premises.

My recent stay at this hotel was a pleasant surprise in many ways. the staff here really knows how to make you feel at home - they were so friendly and always ready to help out. the location is awesome; it's so close to the Union Street subway station, making it super convenient to explore the area. Plus, there are some great restaurants right across the street, like the fantastic Dinosaur BBQ. the modern industrial style of the building gives off a chic vibe that I really enjoyed. the room I stayed in was clean and cute, which is crucial for me as I'm very picky about cleanliness. Overall, a great value for the price!
While my stay was mostly positive, I did notice a couple of things that could be improved. the shower in my room didn't have a curtain or door, which meant the floor got pretty wet after a shower.

Had a great Easter weekend at this hotel. Loved the friendly staff, who were always willing to help. Location is key, with easy access to public transportation and plenty of coffee shops and stores within walking distance. the room was clean and modern, with a comfortable bed and nice bathroom amenities. Also enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and free Wi-Fi.
The room was quite small, with limited space for luggage and not enough seating. the walls were thin, so could hear some noise from other guests.

The Gowanus offers a very comfortable bed with minimal street noise, great for a restful stay. Conveniently located close to transportation options and a variety of dining choices, including a nearby BBQ spot with amazing ribs. the price is reasonable for the amenities provided.

The room at Gowanus Inn & Yard was clean, bright, and modern, just like in the pictures. We appreciated the effort put into keeping it well-maintained. The location was perfect, with the Union street subway station nearby, making it convenient to explore Brooklyn. The staff we interacted with were friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to assist us during our stay.
One minor inconvenience was the small bathroom with the shower setup. The lack of a curtain or door made it difficult to prevent water from splashing onto the floor, resulting in some flooding.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were attentive and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The basic amenities provided were more than sufficient, and my room offered a beautiful view at an affordable price. Additionally, the location on the shores of the majestic Gowanus Canal was truly unique.
All aspects of my stay were more than satisfactory.

The dining scene near The Gowanus is a foodie's paradise! Bella Gioia's tantalizing aromas drift just 0.08 km away, while Burgrito's fusion dishes will make your taste buds sing at 0.23 km. Al Di La Trattoria offers a taste of Italy just 0.45 km away, and Oaxaca Taqueria's spicy delights await at 0.16 km. Root Hill Cafe's cozy vibes make it the perfect spot to sip on a latte just 0.22 km from the hotel.
The bathroom's design may need a bit of a refresh. The shower setup leads to water splashing all over the floor, requiring some extra towel action.

The location near the subway station made it convenient to explore the area. There were plenty of shops and cafes nearby and a delicious BBQ restaurant right across the street.

My recent stay at Gowanus Inn was fantastic. I was in Brooklyn for a few nights to explore the area, and this hotel was the perfect home base. The design and space of the rooms were impressive, with a sleek, modern feel. The housekeeper was friendly and the desk staff was efficient and polite. The value for the price was great, and the location was convenient for exploring downtown Brooklyn and the Atlantic Mall/Barclay's Center. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a cozy and convenient stay in Brooklyn.

Stayed at a spotlessly clean room with a comfortable bed at Gowanus Inn & Yard. the room was relatively new and had a great aesthetic design. I could easily regulate the room's temperature, and the AC was silent. Despite facing the street, the room was surprisingly quiet, thanks to the window blinds that kept it nice and dark for a good night's sleep. Great location too, just a few steps away from the R train.
All was 👍

We had a great time staying in Brooklyn at this hotel. The location was perfect, being right next to the R train subway station. It made it so easy for us to explore the city. The room was clean and cozy, with a comfortable bed and clean sheets. We also appreciated the 24-hour tea and coffee service in the lobby. The staff was friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable.
The shower could use some improvements, as it didn't lock and there were no hooks for clothes or towels.

The location of the hotel was great, with easy access to public transportation and plenty of nearby amenities such as convenience stores, bars, and restaurants. the staff at the hotel were also friendly and helpful, providing good customer service throughout my stay. Additionally, the room was clean and cozy, with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.
There were a few aspects of my stay that I didn't particularly enjoy. the noise in the morning was quite bothersome, with loud doors slamming and maids yelling at each other from room to room.

Located just steps away from the subway, this hotel is perfect for exploring the city. The room was clean and comfortable, with great linens and a silent AC. There were excellent blinds that made it easy to sleep in, and the hotel staff were exceptional. Their service was incredibly friendly and helpful in recommending the best things to see and do in this trendy area. Parking was available too, which made things even more convenient. Red Hook Cruise Terminal was just a short cab ride away, and I appreciated the hotel facilities being well-maintained and spotless.
Nothing it was perfect.

From the moment I stepped into the reception, I was greeted by the friendliest staff who made me feel right at home. The bed was like a cloud, and the shower was absolutely refreshing with all its built-in features. The towels were so soft, I couldn't help but wrap myself in them. And the best part? The subway station was just a hop and skip away, making it super convenient for exploring the city. Across the road, there was this fantastic BBQ restaurant that's worth trying. The room and bathroom were surprisingly spacious, exceeding my expectations. Everything was impeccably clean, and the pillows and sheets were luxuriously soft and had the loveliest scent. The view of the city from my room was truly jaw-dropping. The neighborhood itself was perfect, with a charming and artsy vibe, offering a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Everywhere I turned, there were amazing food finds and interesting architecture. The whole experience felt like a cozy embrace from Brooklyn, and I can't wait to come back, whether it's to witness the magical snowfall or to explore the enchanting gardens in spring.
