Aura Hotel Brooklyn

Pretty decent. There were conflicting messages about whether or not there was continental breakfast (there wasn't). When I checked in, I asked for late checkout, but this wasn't communicated with the rest of the staff. Therefore, on the day I was to checkout, I got a call saying I missed checkout and needed to leave immediately. I changed my plans and day and ended up just spending the entire time at the airport (not ideal). The front desk staff was friendly but overall I wouldn't say they were well equipped or that helpful.

Hotel was a little tired in places, but room was spacious, comfortable and surprisingly well appointed. Immediate area is quite poor for travellers - few shops and no bars/restaurants as it is a strongly orthodox Jewish neighbourhood - and closest subway is not particularly safe.

Good for the price. Not very close to subway so you will walk a lot

This was great. Love the little outside space too. We used it after the concert we went to. If I ever need to be in Brooklyn again we will definitely stay here.

Hotel is convenient to Williamsburg as well as Bed Stuy areas. Room was very quiet. Small hotel but full. Management was friendly and responsive to questions and recommendations in the area. It was generally clean but felt worn with frayed sheets and some stains on well cleaned items. I asked for and promptly was given replacement sheets. It was great for our needs and will stay again with family nearby.

It’s okay, nothing luxurious but not bad. The area around is one of the filthiest places I’ve been in nyc but that’s not their fault. When checking for bedbugs I noticed that the linen were stained and the food from previous guests had not been removed from the fridge which was not enjoyable but I mean it’s fine. Also the room was not for 4 people, those beds were very small I’d say 2 people unless you are very small. The bed was comfy and overall the room was clean and the price was cheap so it was good.

Advertised as accommodating 4 adults, this was merely a small studio flat with only two just-larger-than-single beds. Had to rent a rollaway bed, which had broken springs and non-supportive mattress. Paint-work was badly damaged by previous occupants resting back of chair against the wall. MDF bathroom furniture boards were swollen out of shape. No kettle to make tea, only a coffee filter. Unfortunately, the nearest G line train was out of service. Surrounding street sidewalks constantly populated by multitudes of garbage bags and many large foraging rats. Had to put deposit for "incidentals" but yet to have this returned, 6 days on. Pluses: 1. Staff largely friendly, although not all were helpful, particularly one who, on questioning about the state of the rollaway bed, merely unapologetically remarked, "They're all like that!" 2. Bus stops close by with relatively reliable service. 3. Relatively quiet neighbourhood. 4. Air conditioner worked.

Good room for the price.

Don't get a room at the end of the hall because the traffic will keep you up all night. This hotel is quite basic and housekeeping does not provide the same basics from one room to the next, in fact they were often missing altogether. No ice available anywhere in the hotel. The pillowcases were twice the size of the very soft small pillows. There is 1 person in reception who is not always there and the phone number provided to call for assistance does not ever answer or reply to messages left. There is no one there at all during night hours for assistance so don't lose your key! Bed was on the better side. DirecTV offered plus HBO and Cinemax. The hotel is in the middle of an orthodox jewish neighborhood with lots of families and children walking around, so it's quite safe walking alone. There's nothing close by though you can reach other parts of Brooklyn by bus and train, and the same for Manhattan. If most of your business or pleasure is in the city, this location is not that convenient.

Clean and spacious room. The AC worked great. It was perfect timing during a very very hot weekend.
