Franklin Guesthouse

This was a fantastic room, as big as expected, with all the amenities we needed. The location in Greenpoint is perfect, and it is super accessible. Everything you need is nearby, including grocery stores, cafes, bakeries, restaurants, and bars. The gym and sauna were also a great addition and very uncommon for New York. The staff were friendly and very helpful, if you're new to New York there is a lot of information available through the hotel.

Absolutely everything about Franklin Guesthouse was WONDERFUL. The staff was VERY attentive. They were able to take care of extra linens we needed and even fixed a leak in our room while we were out for the day. The room was impeccable, with an incredibly comfortable bed. Even the "pull out" couch was super cozy. In addition, we adored Greenpoint. There were so many cute places to eat and drink and it was so quiet and quaint. We were able to walk quickly to the subway and easily get back and forth to all the places we wanted to see while we were in the city. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

We loved our stay at the guesthouse during our honeymoon. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating - particular the receptionist that checked us in and the housekeepers. The rooms were fantastic and had everything we needed to make our own breakfast or dinner. Even the bathroom was great - with lovely smelling, high quality free shampoo etc. We loved the free wine we received in our room to celebrate our honeymoon - a very kind gesture. The location was perfect for a bit of a break from Manhattan. Greenpoint is a very cool area and there are plenty of lovely bars, cafes and restaurants. The Greenpoint ferry stop is a very short walk from Franklin guesthouse and takes you very quickly over to different parts of Manhattan. We can’t wait to come back to New York and we would definitely stay here again!

The room was fantastic - nice kitchenette/living area when you entered, very spacious bathroom, and then nice big bed behind the partition close to the window. The kitchenette was wonderful to have for our longer stay, as we could keep things in the fridge, and had space to store other provisions; the kitchenette was also very well stocked: plenty of silverware, plates, bowls, mugs, wine glasses, cups, etc. It really made a difference to our stay. We loved that there was a gym, also very adequately equipped.

High ceilings and a spacious room with great facilities. Very clean and an extremely comfortable bed. We asked specifically for a quiet room and despite being there at the weekend when the restaurant was busy, it was extremely quiet at the back of the building. Staff were very friendly and the area is fantastic. Great coffee shops and walks along the Hudson down to Domino Park,. We used the ferries extensively. Recommend a trip on the St George ferry at sunset…fab $4 view of the Statue of Liberty.
