Well, I wanted my wife's first stay at a B & B to be memorable. I was not disappointed. The only problem is that the memory is not a pleasant one. Check this out. We get to the place and the first thing the owner says is "We don't do breakfasts anymore. Oh, didn't I tell you on the phone?"... more

I had friends staying in the area, and I found this B&B online. They had to check out early due to the rudeness of the hosts. Also, after their incident, I found out from other neighbors in the area that the 'breakfast' has not happened in this B&B for years as their kitchen seems to infinitely be under renovation. Needless... more

My stay was a relatively long one (the end of Sept. into Oct. 2007) due to being in NYC for family reasons. I chose this B and B because it was reasonably priced and in a location that was good for me. The rooms (note the plural) were basically clean but were slightly shabby. The room at the front was... more

We're fairly seasoned travelers, and wanted to head to NYC for a weekend. We didn't want to stay in the city and waste part of our budget on completely inflated hotel prices, so we found Union St. B&B. On arrival, we didn't even know if we were at the right place. There isn't any sign that tells you where you... more

As experienced B&B guests, we found the place minimally acceptable if one must stay in this part of Brooklyn for a night, but certainly nothing to write home about. On the other hand, the only alternatives except in dicey adjacent neighborhoods are a Marriott, a Holiday Inn, and a Holiday Inn Express at $325-$500 per night. Actually, the "overall experience"... more

I had an excellent stay at the b and b and plan to go there anytime I am in New York. The hotel is very charming and clean, Johanna was a warm and gracious host. The place is very cute and is decorated in a unique Victorian style and the neigborhood is the nicest of any I have been to... more

Very dirty. Ended up having to fumigate our apartment for the bedbugs that we brought home with us. more

This response saddens me because it is not true. We do not have bedbugs, and we have never had bedbugs. When this guest stayed renovations to the hallway of the building were being conducted. As a consequence there may have been more dust in the hallways and the presence of workmen. I'm sorry that these guests were affected. This was...

Very run down property. Terrible breakfast. Not family friendly. Great location and nice neighborhood. Rooms are warm and water is hot. Beds squeak awful. Cannot find innkeeper. Stay here only if you are out of options! more

Management response from
jojo405, owner of business

Due to our extremely convieniant location and that we are the only B&B in our neighborhood, requests for reservations out number our rooms greatly. Although we are very popular, our place is not for everyone. Our place is a relaxed environment limited by the archecture. Like all brownstone townhouses, we have stairs and shared bathrooms. We try to tell this...

As a first-time English visitor to NYC, I was happy to be away from the crippling prices of Manhattan, yet within easy reach of the sights (as long as you're happy with stairs and subway travel, which I was). I was also grateful to be in a place with real people, not some bland impersonal corporate. This B&B certainly wasn't... more

Have read the existing reviews I decided to post one of my own. My sister and I stayed in this B & B for five nights. First, the location is excellent. Several restaurants and cafes are easily within walking distance. There are also small grocery stores, a drugstore and internet cafe. The brownstones in this area are amazing to see.... more
