Franklin Guesthouse

We really enjoyed our stay at the Franklin Guest House in Brooklyn. The room was spacious, clean, and the hotel was in such a great location. Would definitely go back in the future.

Great neighborhood! All the staff were friendly and helpful! Beautiful property that is spotlessly clean. Highly recommend.

Will stay there again!!

Great stay.

The room was spacious and very comfortable. It was clean and so convenient both in amenities and location. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Will stay again.

Gym was small but adequate. Would have liked breakfast options, no fresh coffee or small food items to purchase. Also there wasn’t much of a lobby, needed more space/seats to hang w my family of 5 for a bit.

Location. Size No sound barrier between rooms or floors. Loud door closing noises and cleaning staff

a beautiful, spacious room in a great location

The room was very clean and front desk helpful. Great area. Highly recommend.

The hotel has a very good location, the room was spacious, clean and well organized, with good facilities and everything needed for a comfortable stay. The rest of the staff were polite and professional, including the housekeeping team. The hotel also offers excellent coffee, comfortable beds, and everything was very clean throughout the stay. Unfortunately, the overall experience was negatively affected by the attitude of one of the employees during check-in. From the very beginning, the communication felt cold and unwelcoming, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. The staff member was not communicative and at moments came across as rude, which left a disappointing first impression.

The kitchen was fully equipped. We just had a bit of problem keeping the door closed so it would lock.

Nice unit, spacious and decorated nicely The couch in the room should be bigger so you can really sit on it, much too narrow .

It was a perfect location for us to visit with my daughter in Greenpoint. Walking or taking an Uber was convenient. The room itself was both gorgeous and homey! n/a

Stay away

bed, bathroom, kitchen

We stayed for 2 weeks, so had plenty of opportunities to use the facilities. We also self-catered most of the time so used the kitchen daily. First, great space. We were in the 600ish sf suite with sitting area and full kitchen. Second, excellent appliances. High end built-in microwave/convection oven, dishwasher, electric cooktop and counter height fridge with working freezer. Lots of plugs throughout. Third, roomy bathroom with waterfall shower. Fourth, high end mattress on the bed. Fifth, contemporary decor and some industrial accents like exposed 2-inch sprinkler system. Charming. Sixth, well equipped gym and sauna in exercise space. Steam shower in exercise space restroom. Seventh, free use of LG front loading washer and dryer after 5 pm. That was an unexpected delight as we expected to have to pay for laundry services. Neighborhood (Greenpoint Brooklyn) is fairly gentrified so lots of good restaurants and cute shops and grocery stores selling high end products (eg van Leeuwen ice cream) within a few blocks. G train about 3 blocks away and it's one of the subway lines that seems to be closed for work pretty frequently (former New Yorker here) but great when it's running. City bikes available a block away. not having parking but we were aware of that. For people with cars: Street parking only and is very difficult to find. There is a pay lot about 1.5 blocks away. A parking ticket ($65) may cost less (alternate side of the street parking 4 days a week) than the lot over a 48 hr period ($80-100). Some furniture issues that may not be a problem for people seeking shorter stays or those with back problems. The sofa is a futon, so lot of throw pillows (provided) needed for back support. The chair in the sitting area is steeply angled, so lots of pillows provided support. Bar stools are backless.

Our room was well equiped, clean, and spacious. It was just kinda noisy and made getting to sleep difficult with the music in the nearby restaurant.

Great location, surprisingly quiet, and a very comfortable room! Will definitely stay again!

The staff were helpful and friendly, and the location was excellent. The room temperature was hard to regulate. It was too cold.
