What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 603 guest reviews
Penny Williamsburg earns consistently strong marks for its prime location, stylish boutique aesthetic, and a standout rooftop bar with sweeping views. Most guests find the rooms comfortable and well-equipped, and the majority of staff interactions are praised as warm and attentive. However, a recurring shower leak issue, occasional maintenance shortcomings (worn linens, leaking mini-fridges), and small room sizes are genuine niggles worth noting before booking.
