Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Penny Williamsburg Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Penny Williamsburg is praised for its stylish decor and convenient location in Williamsburg, near the L and G trains, making it easy to explore the city. Guests appreciate the well-designed rooms, some featuring kitchenettes with a fridge and microwave, while the comfortable beds and quiet atmosphere ensure a good night's sleep; free coffee in the lobby is another plus. The rooftop bar with its amazing views is a highlight, though a few guests found the kitchen hours shorter than initially expected. The hotel is within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and Domino waterfront park, offering great views of the Williamsburg Bridge and the Manhattan skyline.

Excellent stay!

helpful informationcomplimentary drinksspacious suitecoffee pour-over
The door person was pleasant and provided helpful information. I received two complimentary celebratory drinks at El Nico for a birthday. The hotel upgraded me to a spacious queen suite. It was large enough for morning yoga. A big fridge and microwave were included, a coffee pour-over was available in the room.
i wish the hotel provided soap and sponges for washing cups and cutlery in the kitchen.
