Hotel Le Jolie

I stayed one night at Hotel Le Jolie for a recent trip to Brooklyn, and I was very happy with the quality of the accommodations and the efforts of the staff to meet expectations. The property itself is not huge, but they have several floors of guest rooms and plenty of amenities. The have limited free parking (probably 10 spaces or so, first come first served) and free breakfast, which is a very nice perk in a city where it can cost $ 15-​$ 20 just to have a simple breakfast.
The guest rooms are laid out well so that even though they are pretty compact, you can still easily move around, have places to put your belongings, and not be bumping into everything. Everything seems recently updated, with modern fixtures and furniture. I don’t care for they way they designed the bathrooms: sliding doors with gaps people can see through and hear through easily don’t provide much privacy. They also installed electrical outlets next to the sliding door so if you plug something in, you can’t open the door. The showers are also sort of odd, with nothing dividing the shower floor from the rest of the bathroom. There is a curtain for overspray, but the water tends to just get everywhere in the bathroom when someone takes a shower. These are all really minor things and not detracting from the overall quality of the hotel.
One thing that really stood out is how helpful the staff is. I checked in with a friend of mine and we discovered we had been assigned a single queen room. We are two big guys and were not going to get a good night’s sleep sharing a queen bed. Even though the hotel was completely booked, they were able to move us to a room that had room on the floor for a rollaway bed. To me, this was going «above and beyond» because they could have easily said «Sorry, deal with it.»

Pros:
–reasonable price
–free parking
–easy access to subway (under 20min to east village)
–free wifi
–free bottled water, fruit, coffee tea (available ²⁴⁄₇) and bfast (available till 11am even on weekdays!)
–comfortable beds
–shower is pretty nice
–in room safe and fridge
Cons
–rooms on first floor are super noisy (you can hear lobby, «lounge» room that has fruits and coffee etc, elevator controls, etc). REQUEST A HIGHER FLOOR! That being said I did manage a good nights sleep with the help of some ear plugs
I would consider staying here again as long as they don’t put me on first floor.

An eminently comfortable place to stay.
Without being fancy they had everything I wanted, for example free bottled water in the mini fridge replenished daily, double-​double-​pained windows (not kidding 2 double pain windows with 6 inches space between, I never heard the BQE), complimentary bfast, a AAA discount.
I read in most other reviews that the staff would be friendly and competent and confirm that was my experience too.

Booked at Hotel Le Jolie using
, mostly because they offered free parking which is a rare find in NY. I didn’t expect much staying in NY and I really wasn’t looking for anything fancy since we were just staying 1 night but I was blown away by this hotel.
Great location. Courteous front desk. Immaculate clean rooms. Larger than expected rooms (I stayed in a king room with my hubs and child). Bedding was crisp and bathroom toiletry and towels were clean and good quality. Did have some email interaction with the manager and received exceptional customer service.
I was more than please with my stay. Wish I would have stayed longer. I will definitely be staying here again if in the area and will be recommending to friends and family.

Good clean hotel, reasonably priced. Very helpful staff. Comfortable beds, clean and modern rooms. Location is convenient and safe. I suggest avoiding the first floor — rooms on the first floor open to the front desk and lounge area so they’re loud at night as guests arrive.

We love this place. If you are visiting Brooklyn and want a nice, reasonable place to stay, this is it. The staff is pleasant, the rooms are smallish (it is NYC after all) but clean and well maintained. Most importantly, the beds are very comfortable and the noise level is low. We spent a week here and it was our home away from home. It is conveniently located for walking and using public transportation as well.

Small rooms (It’s New York… and expected), very great and comfortable bedding, nice modern bathroom, professional staff. Ursula always smiled, Mr. Patell very considered and understanding. If you want to sleep in I recommend to get a room towards the back of the hotel.
The front despite the triple windows might disturb your early morning dreams. I woke up grumpy since I wanted to sleep in and mentioned it. They moved me immediately and refunded me the night without the tax. Considered enough.
Breakfast is continental, but with fresh fruits and lots of juices, milk, boiled eggs, danish, cereals, etc. Fresh fruits are still available during the day, i. e grab an apple or a banana on the way out. Free WIFI. Not enough plugs next to the beds for all the devices which née charging during the night.
I will stay here again.

Extra nice and helpful staff. Immaculate. New bathrooms well done. Noise level very low, even though in the shadow of the BQE. Compares favorably with Manhattan hotels at 40% of the price.

I stayed here last week and I found it to be quite nice. The staff was super friendly, they even let us check in half an hour early bc our room was ready. Everything was also really clean, which is definitely a good thing. Will definitely stay here again!

This hotel is in a fantastic location if you want to be IN Williamsburg (or Brooklyn in general). It’s super close to the train and the BQE so travelling is easy… most importantly, it’s walking distance to a ton of really cool bars and restaurants and is close to where Smorgasburg is held if you want to check that out on Saturdays.
Price wise, for a weekend stay, I found the prices to be about what a «good deal» in Manhattan would be – staying anywhere decently nice in the city is simply never cheap, but I do think Hotel Le Jolie could do with more ambiance and little touches to make their hotel more unique and the price tag to feel more worth it. Though, as I said before, the location is GREAT.
As far as the rooms, I found the beds to be a little small and the rooms themselves are tiny, but again, a city hotel isn’t going to be massive unless you’re paying major bucks to be there (and I don’t do that because hello, it’s nyc! don’t stay in your big fancy hotel room instead of going out!). I will say that while the bathroom is small, the shower is actually really nice! It has a rainfall water stream and bathroom floor et al feels very clean and new. They also had decent shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc which was nice because I didn’t pack any of that, lol.
I would stay again, but I will have to say, I’ll probably check out availability at the wythe or other hotels before booking a room here right away.

Had an emergency and had to book a hotel, so wasn’t expecting much. Arrived late at night and the staff was very helpful. Definitely an upside to the night.

Nice city view on the 6^th floor. Clean but small room. Fits the king bed and not much else. Sliding door to the bathroom so not much privacy. Rain shower is amazing. Free first come first serve lot parking.

Is this one of those trendy W hotels in Manhattan? No. Is this a nice hotel to stay at in the heart of Williamsburg? Yes! Friendly staff, clean rooms, decent internet connection, a giant television — and even the other guests I bumped into were nice! I would return again and recommend this hotel to my friends. If you’re from out of town another nice thing is that the hotel is within walking distance of quite a few cool places in Williamsburg. If you go try and request one of the top floors so you can get a decent view of the hood.

My parents just came to the city this weekend and booked a room here because it’s very close to where my husband and I live. We didn’t have too many expectations because we figured they wouldn’t be spending too much time in the hotel anyway — hello, it’s New York City. But we were all blown away immediately by this place.
First of all, the service is great. The ladies we spoke with at the front counter throughout the few days all had a sense of humor and were very helpful. They held my parents’ bags the first day when we arrived earlier than the check-​in and when we came back later, they had already carried the bags up and set them in the room. Also, within five minutes of being there, the front desk called up just to make sure everything was okay and that they were happy with the room. They also held my parents’ bags again on their last day while we went around the city, since their flight was later that night.
The continental breakfast was impressive and seemed to be given more care than I’ve seen in other larger hotels around the country.
Yes, the room was small but it had a TV, good sized bed, full length mirror, and the bathroom was actually very cute!
The hotel’s in a great area. You’re close to the subway (the L train takes you into Manhattan in just two quick stops), close to the heart of Williamsburg (which I think everyone who visits New York should explore), and close to so many awesome restaurants (you have to eat at Five Leaves at least once, and Jimmy’s Diner is a staple in this area).
The fact that it’s right next to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway isn’t an issue at all — you couldn’t hear the traffic from inside. Also, it makes taking a cab or getting a cab that much easier because taxis get off/​on the BQE constantly in that area.
So yes, I agree with the review that says «5 stars isn’t enough». When you’re in NYC and going to so many great places and yet you still keep saying to each other how impressed you are with the hotel you’re staying at, that’s a big deal.

5 stars isn’t enough. Since the day we arrived in Brooklyn, the hotel staff was friendly, easy going and accommodating! Large TVs with DIRECTV, comfortable beds, breakfast in the lounge, free parking and walking distance to bars, lounges, cafés, shops and the «moveable feast» Williamsburg offers. I’ll come and stay here again over Manhattan any day. We left to go to a wedding upstate and came back for our last night before departing for Cali. The hotel provided a slight discount and it’s only 25 minutes (not including traffic) to JFK!

A great little hotel in Brooklyn. Convenient location. Great immediately local options, easy to get into Manahatten around 5 boroughs on train.
You can’t get the place cleaner or staff more professional. All the little ammentiies and good price for high quality. It’s NY people! Read expensive. Expect $ 150−200+ depending on time of yr, advance booking, availability.
Small room to be expected but very very clean and super comfortable… everything well done including desk chair, nice flat screen TV… stylish bathroom etc etc etc

Even though it’s right next to the freeway it’s a nice little hotel in the north side of Williamsburg. Close to the subway and a retail area of cool things. I came in and out of this place at all hours and got to see many of the staff who were really cool. Nice clean room with a clean bathroom. As things in NYC go it’s not particularly cheap but you’re getting more price performance value for an equivalent place in Manhattan,

Stayed here a couple times for multiple nights. Small rooms but perfectly comfortable. Good shower, comfy bed, clean. Lots of TV channels. Breakfast isn’t great but is adequate. The wifi signal is weak, ok for email but not for streaming. Staff very friendly but don’t seem to know the area that well. Location is pretty good, you can get to Manhattan quickly enough by subway. Very few parking spots in hotel lot. I definitely recommend it for a slightly cheaper NewYork option, though probably only need to stay here if you want to be close in Williamsburg.

DO NOT STAY HERE
I was hoping to support my local neighborhood and have my parents stay here in a few weeks. I will not support this business. The staff is not accommodating, unfriendly and frankly, quite rude. I thought it would choose an affordable option since it is right next to the highway (BQE) but they are just as expensive per night as a hotel in the city.
Not an appropriate way to run a business in a neighborhood. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Perfect Hotel. FREE PARKING. My husband was thrilled to leave our car right out front for our entire stay. They accepted packages for us, let us checkin super early, gave us a nice breakfast each morning (nothing fancy but nice) and provided us with a clean room. Only thing was that our fridge wasn’t working and i let some food spoil unknowingly.
Last visit to NYC I paid over $ 400 for a Marriot in Midtown that had insects crawling all over the room. This hotel was a million times better, and a better location. $ 10 cab or a 8 min subway ride to Manhattan.
