Tiny little rooms contribute to the NYC experience. While compact, the space is very comfortable. Bathroom is big enough and the small but serviceable sitting area was a plus. Pour over coffee set-up a highlight! Convenient location walkable to everything with a fully stocked deli/bodega around the corner. ElNico restaurant is quite fancy and the food was very good. Mexican food not my favorite but the guacamole and ceviche were to die for. Fabulous cocktails and a stunning view. Only quibble: need more than 4 hangers!

It felt too sterile and institutional, the room was clean but too minimal, the concrete ceiling made it feel more unfinished than a good design choice. The whole minimalist design choice didn't like a good one in the cold winter. The outside areas were all closed down because of the weather. Only a few dried out snacks were available on a rack across from the check in counter. Wrong time of the year to have given this a try. On top of that, in addition to the room rate and fees/taxes they charge a $34.43 additional per day as a "destination fee" when you check out. Really?

We came to stay for New Years and it was a great hotel! Very clean, minimalist, and cozy. Staff were great and very welcoming. It also passed the bed bug check; I am very paranoid about staying in hotels because of that reason, but Penny Williamsburg was so clean and felt like a home away from home. The only thing that wasn't working or what we couldn’t figure out what the fan in the bathroom! Overall, great stay, great hotel, and great staff.

Had a housekeeping issue upon arrival. When i visited the front desk they responded immediately - walked back to my room with me and escorted me to a new room. Such personal and caring service - thank you. Front desk always smiling and polite when we walked by. Would stay again.
