Staff were very helpful. It's a bit of a walk to subway stops and retail establishments, but not bad.

Small rooms but clean and comfortable, great location and awesome breakfast. Good for the money.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were barely at the hotel because of the size of the room. It was MINI pocked size! Plus breakfast was a voucher to get a muffin and a coffee in a cafeteria somewhat close to the hotel. Service was great though.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It had what we needed, a clean bed, good shower and a budget friendly price. Good location, near a subway stop and park slope. Go for it.

The rooms are tiny but it's near everywhere I needed to go so I would stay again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel's location, staff, and overall condition were fine. Unfortunately, this was a business trip for me, and there were two things in particular that were really tough to work around. First, the "desk" was a side table about the 12x18 and about 30 inches high, and there was a folding chair. This did not make for comfortable conditions to try and […] write/email/etc. There also was no lobby to sit in for this type of work (that I was aware of). Also, there was no iron or ironing board in the room to get ready for work the next day. When I called the front desk, they were very prompt, but were only able to provide a mini-ironing board. I would use this hotel again for vacation, but will not be staying again for business. Read more

My wife and I have stayed in nearly a dozen different hotels in Brooklyn. We are always looking for the most competive rates based on cleanliness, room size, and convenience. The rate at the Union Hotel was competive and we hadn't stayed there yet, so we gave it a try. Really, the only positives is that it is in a convenient location near Park Slope […] and The Barclay's Center, and the hostess was friendly. The negatives are too glaring. There is no lobby, just something like a hostess at a podium desk. I could see my breath in the cold elevator. The rooms are the smallest I've ever encountered. I felt like I was in a youth hostel in europe during my backpacking days 30 years ago. The thru-wall heater was literally inches from the bed and it sounded like I was sleeping next to a loud dryer. The cold shower which never got even warm really brought back fond memories of camping in Spain. - You get the idea! Honestly...never again! Read more

Second night, the sink did not drain.First night, my colleagues room had an awful smell, not identifiable. Breakfast was good.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was to smaaaaaallllll. You open the door and the bed is right there . Did never said in their advertising that you had to leave the building and walk to a cafe 3 blocks away to get your breakfast. Overall I was not satisfy at all.

We chose this hotel because we were going to the Barclays Center for a couple of basketball games. It is about a 10-15 minute walk. Not bad at all. There are a couple of hole in the wall bars along the way. The room itself was very clean but also VERY small. It was a small bathroom with a bed, thats it. There wasn't even a path to walk on the side of […] the bed, it was that small. So it is in a great location but definitely just a place to sleep. Read more

The hotel is clean and well located and very affordable. The breakfast is very nice as well. My room was small but was well worth the price. Thank you and we'll see you next time we are in Brooklyn.

room was very small...but the kicker was the VERY limited cable tv offering; no local channels, and a spattering of minor cable options.

Hotel room was small (that was to be expected). It was loud! Drunk people coming in at all hours of the night proclaiming (in very loud voices) how drunk they are. Convenient location but horrible night's sleep.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Room was small, but as described and very inexpensive. Free breakfast at cafe 3 blocks away, good location for access to restaurants and subway. As described

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Breakfast at nearby diner was wonderful. Extremely small room approx 8 x 10. Bed shoved against a wall with maybe 2 foot aisle on other side. Only way to watch TV was to stand against the door. Clean room but ragged towels. At times unattended lobby. If you need an expensive place to lay your head down, this may be for you!

This was a great location for an overnight stay after we attended a concert at the Barclay's Center. The room was very clean and the front desk staff were very polite and helpful. Guests do have to be prepared for the small size of the hotel and the rooms, though. Luckily, my husband and I don't mind being in close quarters with one another! The room […] was so small that we had to negotiate around one another very carefully to move from the bed to the bathroom and back. And, when you're 7 months pregnant, small spaces like this can present even more of a challenge! Also, at initial check-in the front desk person had a little bit of trouble finding the reservation and acted as though he were a bit confused about the hotels.com confirmation number. We got past all that and our stay -- overall -- was quite pleasant. There was a tall wardrobe with multiple drawers in the room, so there was generally sufficient space to put away things. But, in a room this small, some additional well-placed shelving in the sleeping area and in the bathroom, as well as an extra small folding table, wouldn't hurt! Read more

Pro: Location convenient to subways into Manhattan; Great complimentary breakfast offerings at nice cafe 2 blocks away with very friendly staff who made us feel welcome each morning; comfortable bed; clean room Con: No bedside lighting--only light was overhead, with light switch by the door; TV channel lineup was quite strange--no networks, and only […] about 10 cable channels, inc BBC America and the Tennis channel; Small room, which would not be an issue except the armoire was very inconveniently located, making it impossible to move around; we were excited about what looked like a rooftop terrace on the website--doesn't exist! Overall, OK for the money, but next time we'll stay at the Holiday Inn Express 2 blocks away. Read more

For those visiting family or friends in Park Slope this hotel is one of the best deals around. We didn't find anything less expensive. The hotel is newly completed. The bedroom and bath are immaculate. Parking is available on the street, although the neighborhood might make some nervous who are unfamiliar with Brooklyn . There are a few rough edges […] that should be corrected: inadequate lighting in the room, with a couple of fixture outlets covered by blank plates; dark hallway apparently due to a burned out light fixture bulb. Front desk was generally helpful but was not able to mail us a couple of items we accidentally left behind in the room. Read more

Clean, updated, comfortable room and bathroom. If traveling for business and/or needing desk space and room to spread out, this hotel may be challenging. First floor was noisy with comings and goings. Would stay there again, but would request a room on an upper floor. Hotel has no parking. Beware of any NY on-street overnight parking.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I like that there was wi-fi, a newspaper and a voucher for complimentary breakfast at Station Cafe - 2 blocks walking distance. The bathroom/shower was very modern. The size of the room overall was small for the two of us but the king bed (which was 2-twin beds together) was surprisingly comfy. I wil stay here again when visiting family and boyfriend's […] family., Read more

overall very pleased, the room was a little congested and small but for the price it was worth it. What was really nice that they offered me a beautiful breakfast. I also loved the decor of the room. I loved the courteousness of the staff. Be careful with parking. There is only off street parking but you must park across the street if you check in on […] a Sunday, and you must remove your car before 8 am or it will be towed. That was a little inconvenience. However, overall everything was blessed. I would go again and recommend to my friends. Read more

We intentionally booked a "small room" which still had an ample queen sized bed, large bathroom, and convenient storage space. The breakfast was great, closeness to subway line, nearby restaurants, and the availability of nearby on-street parking all were great. Very clean and well-run budget hotel. Great bargain.

This hotel was quite expensive and just filthy. I told the front desk that the toilet was clogged when I arrived and they said they would fix it right away. When I returned that night, it still wasn't fixed. The shower was hairy, but the bed was the worst. There were at least 5 different stains of various colors. I'd sleep in a park before staying at […] the Union Hotel again. Read more

quality fanky place in a funky Brooklyn area. only for people who like NYC.

Genuine Expedia guest review

to call this room tiny would be a great compliment. What hotels.com called a standard queen was called a cozy queen by the hotel. The only way it could be called standard was in comparison to a standard poodle. the room was about 7 by 10. the bed was in a corner partially overhung by the AC unit. to get out you had to crawl over your partner. When my […] wife opened her suitcase on the floor we could not open the bathroom door or the armoire door. note that there are other fairly standard amentites missing, such as kleenex. there is no bedside lamp. one person could stay in this room if they did not want to read in bed.

There is no lobby. When you open your door you will hit your bed. This place is tiny. Decent decor.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My wife and I stayed here to keep costs down and to be in Brooklyn, rather than Manhattan. We accomplished both. The hotel is in a great location. The block around it is a bit run-down, but just one block away is the vibrant shopping/bar neighborhood of 5th Ave (Brooklyn version.) We were also pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service […] at the local diner serving the complimentary breakfast to hotel guests. The only negatives were in the room itself. We stayed in a room with a queen bed, designated a "small" room. That does not begin to describe it. The room was barely bigger than the bed (seriously.) There was NO SPACE on 3 sides of the bed, perhaps 18 inches on the fourth. The door into the room would only open 40 degrees because it hit the bed. Two people CAN NOT co-exist in this room unless they are in bed or one is in the bathroom. The shower was the other issue. The lowest water pressure I have EVER experienced in any bath in the US. Calling it a trickle is being generous. With all this, I would recommend the hotel to people who just need a place to sleep and shower, but not if you are looking for comfort, and the "small" room or rooms should NEVER be occupied by more than one guest.

Great location. 2 blocks from subway. Tons of great small restaurants and cafes near by. Free breakfast included. Just be aware that the rooms are very small, so it's great if you are out and about and just need place to sleep, but do not expect to spend any time in the room other than that. As an example, I had room 300 and there was no desk and just […] a folding chair to sit in other than the bed. The bed was next to the window and there was less than 12inches on the side of the bed on the opposite wall. Read more

I was very upset about the size of the room did not balance out the cost..

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We requested a king bed on an upper floor. We received 2 beds pushed together on the second floor. The comforter on the bed appears to be the proper size for a full size bed – not a queen or king bed. It did not fit my bed. I complained to housekeeping and to the front desk, asking them to bring the proper size comforter for my bed. No one ever came, […] and no appropriate bedding was ever supplied. You can see from the photos that the bed is too small for the headboard. i would estimate that the bed is about 8 inches narrower than a standard king bed. I also requested several times that the hotel honor my request to move to an upper floor. I was told that the hotel was sold out, and no upper floor rooms were available. I was assured that some rooms would become available overnight, and that I would be moved to an upper floor at that time. My Union Hotel room was so small that it was difficult to walk around it. No amenities are provided - no bucket for ice, no glasses, no lotion, no toothbrush, no refrigerator, etc. As a result of being on a low floor, I was awakened early in the morning by workers working on the street. I couldn't sleep the first night because i could hear the snoring of a person in the room adjacent to mine. The showers are tiny. You hardly have room to turn around. Overall, I definitely will not book this hotel again. Read more

Small, serviceable hotel in a transitional Brooklyn neighborhood. Pros: The rooms and bathrooms are clean, and it's an easy walk from the R train. Cons: There is no lobby, just a desk in a vestibule upon check-in. The king room was two twin beds pushed together. It was convenient for our plans, so we were fine with staying here.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I liked this hotel. Bed was quite comfortable, the room was modern and clean. It was really tiny, however. Barely enough room for everything in the room. No lobby or reception area. However, the staff was helpful, the building was possibly a rehab and it was trendy and artsy. It was very close to the subway station (the R, which will take you straight […] into Manhattan) and the included breakfast at the diner around the corner was delightful. If you don't mind the small space, you will find the bed comfortable, the decor trendy and the area safe. Read more

Great location, very central if you plan to spend a lot of time in Park Slope, and convenient to the subway. My friend got very sick and needed to stay in the room for a whole day-- the staff was so sweet and accommodating. They made sure she had food, went to get her medicine. They even offer a complimentary breakfast at a nearby diner where everyone […] was equally nice. Read more

My family owns a house on Degraw Street, so when all the apartments are rented and we need to check on the place we stay at the Union right down the block. The outside is nondescript with very limited signage so it can be hard to find. The rooms are VERY basic. The only light comes from the overhead. The king size bed is actually two twins pushed together. […] For the price and the convenience you really can't go wrong. The Union is consistently the cheapest hotel in the area, so if you are going to Brooklyn to experience Brooklyn and all you intend to do in the hotel is sleep, this is the best place for the money.

The room was only big enough for the bed. You could feel the springs of the bed which was really uncomfortable and to top it off the hotel is right in front of some warehouse and there were delivery trucks constantly going up and down the road and banging on the door to the warehouse early in the morning. I would not go here again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

My first experience with Union Hotel wasn't bad but It wasn't better than ever either. As a romantic trip just for something like 3 or 4 hours it good a little bit. I hope when i go back there if there is another chance the service would be better than the first time. A better service means that the housekeeper should be on time with the towel. She […] was late last time, she brought the towel like 30 minutes after my shower. That's all I had to say about the Union Hotel. Read more

The location is great for BAM. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. We could feel every spring in the mattress and hardly slept as a result. if they would get new mattresses, the hotel would be great.

Clean, comfortable, not too far a walk from Boerum Hill. But they would not give me a table lamp for reading, and it's in a fringy area. Otherwise, very nice, responsive people and not too far from other desirable areas.
