What guests say
8.2 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 1,720 guest reviews
42 Hotel Williamsburg earns broadly positive feedback for its friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and convenient subway access to both Brooklyn and Manhattan. However, recurring gripes around high pricing, slow breakfast service, street noise, and a weak gym suggest the hotel still has meaningful gaps to close for the rates it charges. Most guests leave satisfied but not wowed.
