The Hoxton, Williamsburg

Great hotel and I’d highly recommend staying here as it’s a great location, clean, friendly staff and overall a great stay.

Great hotel space with good vibes and nice rooms. Very walkable to multiple transit options or to just explore Williamsburg. Would absolutely stay here again—don’t forget to snag a reservation for Laser Wolf (the rooftop restaurant) in advance of your trip, too. Great views and food.

The AC was out on our floor so we had a portable unit which was noisy and dripped water everywhere. Because the window wasn’t full closed the street noise from the rooftop club across the street was bonkers. We were offered another room, which was supposed to be ready by noon or 1pm at the latest. It was 2pm Before we got the room which messed up Our afternoon plans. The check in lady, while lovely, stated she would refund our first nights stay by way of compensation. That has not happened even though I’ve emailed twice to follow-up. I’ve stayed at this Hoxton and many others around the world and love the environment they typically create. I hope they can course correct.

They Call It "Cozy"; I Call It Cramped. A modern hotel, built within the past 10 years, the architecture and decorations are very nice; good vibe throughout the hotel. The location is excellent, convenient to interesting neighborhoods, shopping, restaurants, and public transportation, with nice views of Manhattan from the rooms on the west side of the hotel. Our major negative with the Hoxton is the size of the rooms. Most of the choices are described as 170 square feet (“cozy”), and while something like 10 by 17 (including bathroom and entry hall) might seem OK, the reality is something different. With a king size bed, the remaining space (area to walk, sit, stand or store luggage) was miniscule – four feet between the side of the bed and the window; three feet between the foot of the bed and a wall; around 18 inches along the side of the bed. Two big drawers under the bed offer good storage, but there is no useful furniture in the rooms – two tiny night tables, a small (useless) drop front desk, and a piece with a bar for about 8 or 10 hangers. The bathroom is similarly cramped. On the Hoxton website, you’ll see some attractive common areas, seating for the bar and a restaurant, but don’t count on being able to get a seat in any of these areas. Residents of the neighborhood seem to enjoy the free WiFi and air conditioning, and that didn’t leave much room for hotel guests. The price was OK, bumped up from what seemed to be the standard $249 weekday rate to $500 per night for the weekend.

Great hotel for a stay in Wburg. The rooms are quite small and there not many amenities. However it is a nicely designed comfortable hotel and a great place to have a stay. The lobby and restaurants are fantastic and beautifully designed.

I enjoyed my stay at the Hoxton. Great location, not too far away from the city and there were a lot of good restaurant options nearby.
