What guests think

Across reviews, Aura Hotel Brooklyn is praised for clean, comfortable rooms with kitchenettes and some balconies, friendly staff, and good value, while feedback also notes an industrial location with few dining options and periodic maintenance or service issues.

Recurring comments mention elevator outages, limited or off site parking, and occasional noise from nearby construction or other guests. Cleanliness ranges from very clean to reports of stains, mold, and worn furnishings, and check in delays occur at times. Expect a simple, budget friendly base in Brooklyn with modest comforts rather than full service frills.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel for 2 nights and 3 days. While not perfect, it offered everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Street parking can be tricky, so make sure to read the signs carefully – we did get a ticket for street sweeping at a specific time. The elevator was a bit unreliable during our stay, but other than that, the hotel was great. The room was spacious and well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker – everything you need to make your own coffee. It also had a small balcony, which I liked, even though the view wasn’t much. Both the room and bathroom were clean, and I made sure to check the bed for bed bugs, finding no signs of any. The bed was comfortable, and the TV worked fine with a variety of channels. The location is convenient, with easy access to buses for getting around, and a store nearby. Overall, I was happy with my stay. If you’re looking for a clean, reliable place to stay, I’d definitely recommend this hotel. It’s in a great area of Brooklyn, and although it’s not an upscale luxury spot, I’d compare it to a Hilton Inn – just smaller and without breakfast. Would stay here again!

I LOVED this hotel! Amenities, staff, quietness on a Saturday night!, comfort of bed, sleekness of shower. And location plus free street parking! What more can you ask for in BROOKLYN?? Just book it, it’s great! Oh, and we had our own balcony and there’s an open courtyard in the back to hang out in nice weather. Elevator, snack machine, free coffee and water all day.

The room was super comfortable and well designed for the limited space available - also quiet, so we slept great. The only elevator broke down while we were there, and we had to climb 4 flights of stairs a few times to reach our 5th floor room. (We saw others who had to carry very heavy luggage down the stairs). The surrounding area feels quite safe but is a bit dark and dingy. The hotel no longer offers parking, and the nearby options are sketchy, so we don’t recommend it if you’re driving to Brooklyn. That said, if flying into NY, we would stay there again.

Comfortable bed, nice that there are only 5 or so rooms per floor. Liked the apartment-ish vibe with the microwave, mini-fridge, and sink. It was easier to keep groceries and cut down on the cost of eating out. Definitely worse for wear in some areas (peeling paint, stained/dented walls) but overall a safe, decent place to stay in Bed-Stuy

The hotel is in a pretty quiet neighborhood, so there isn’t a lot right in the immediate area, but it’s not far to walk to dining and grocery, etc. Staff was very pleasant, and the facility was clean and updated. The $25 per day parking was a huge plus. I’d definitely return on my next trip, you can’t really beat this place for the rate.

The lobby and the garden area were beautiful. It was honestly a really nice looking hotel but our room wasn’t as clean as I was expecting based on the reviews. When we pulled back the bed covers we saw a huge strand of hair. Behind the bathroom door there was quite a bit of hair on the wall. The lotion was used and had what may have been makeup stains on it. Our shower/tub had mold in the grout. The window to the balcony was super dirty. On the plus side we had a surprise balcony, and the bed was huge!!!! Again nice place…. I just wish our room was cleaner.

For Brooklyn, it was clean and convenient. A hidden gem. My only concern was, the linen was dirty and we could tell the sheets weren’t changed. They were pulled and tugged to give the allusion it was changed. There were stains on the pillow and hair in our bed. Surprisingly they don’t have bed bugs so that’s a plus.

Rooms

Rooms are generally comfortable and larger than expected for NYC, with some featuring kitchenettes and small balconies; many guests highlight very comfortable beds. Noise can be an issue for some due to door slams, neighbors, or nearby construction, and bed sizes may feel small for two adults.

Room was clean. Small, as expected for NY, but not tiny. They proactively reached out to confirm my check-in time, which was great because my flight was severely delayed. Only issue was noise of other occupants. A group gathering that lasted until midnight in the room next door was annoying. But, I liked the walking distance to a decent bagel shop and good grocery store at the end of the block.

I can’t tell you how lovely this little gem is. Comfy quiet rooms. So clean! Private balconies and courtyard. Staff is incredibly responsive and accommodating. If you are looking for nightlife or excitement this is not your hotel. If you are looking for a good nights sleep in a quiet neighborhood you are gonna be fine. Amazing kosher supermarket minutes away.

Advertised as accommodating 4 adults, this was merely a small studio flat with only two just-larger-than-single beds. Had to rent a rollaway bed, which had broken springs and non-supportive mattress. Paint-work was badly damaged by previous occupants resting back of chair against the wall. MDF bathroom furniture boards were swollen out of shape. No kettle to make tea, only a coffee filter. Unfortunately, the nearest G line train was out of service. Surrounding street sidewalks constantly populated by multitudes of garbage bags and many large foraging rats. Had to put deposit for "incidentals" but yet to have this returned, 6 days on. Pluses: 1. Staff largely friendly, although not all were helpful, particularly one who, on questioning about the state of the rollaway bed, merely unapologetically remarked, "They're all like that!" 2. Bus stops close by with relatively reliable service. 3. Relatively quiet neighbourhood. 4. Air conditioner worked.

The hotel itself is quite nice, but the beds are very small. One of us had to sleep on the floor because two people did not fit comfortably in the beds. The surrounding area is very loud because of construction and street noise, but that’s to be expected in Brooklyn.

I booked a room at this establishment for my birthday weekend. First of all, there was no soap to shower with and the shampoo was half empty, with hair in the towels and on the one bar of soap that was opened already. And every hour, Manjeet would knock on the door, starting at 8:30pm because apparently, he had a problem with my guests and tried to kick me out of the hotel room at around 11pm and told me his boss told him to kick me out. Yet I wasn’t made to leave. But the people downstairs were loud and rowdy, and partying until about 6am and he didn’t say anything to them. I will never step foot in this establishment again, after how unwelcome the night staff made me and my guests feel.

The hotel was very disappointing and inconvenient. From the moment we checked in, the front desk staff was rude and unhelpful. Our room door wasn’t secure, and the side doors were not properly locked. We had to call maintenance to fix the locks so we could feel safe. The hotel itself looked run-down and poorly maintained. To make matters worse, on our last day while checking out, housekeeping repeatedly knocked loudly on our door, demanding we leave immediately. We only needed a couple of extra minutes, but they were very rude and insensitive. The front desk staff witnessed this but did nothing to intervene. Overall, the service was unprofessional, and the conditions were unsafe. I would not stay here again.

Room (502) had dirty and torn drapes, lights that didn't work, broken hair dryer, and tub had suspicious speckles on it. Safety lock was broken resulting in my having a chair next to the door and not sleeping well at night. Desk person said there are no available rooms and promised that it will be fixed next morning. Upon leaving the next morning, when confirming with another desk person, they didn't know anything about the lock and that evening when I came back, it was not fixed. The next (third) desk person was able to find me another room (401) with a functioning safety lock. That room had an air conditioner that didn't turn off and a tub faucet that was leaking. In addition the front foyer has torn sofas to sit and wait for your ride and the whole place is not worth the price.

Pretty decent. There were conflicting messages about whether or not there was continental breakfast (there wasn't). When I checked in, I asked for late checkout, but this wasn't communicated with the rest of the staff. Therefore, on the day I was to checkout, I got a call saying I missed checkout and needed to leave immediately. I changed my plans and day and ended up just spending the entire time at the airport (not ideal). The front desk staff was friendly but overall I wouldn't say they were well equipped or that helpful.

When checking for bedbugs I noticed that the linen were stained and the food from previous guests had not been removed from the fridge which was not enjoyable but I mean it’s fine. Also the room was not for 4 people, those beds were very small I’d say 2 people unless you are very small. The bed was comfy and overall the room was clean and the price was cheap so it was good.

In a rather rundown and litter-strewn area of Brooklyn, our experience was disappointing. Many of the rooms have interconnecting doors to adjacent rooms and these are not soundproofed so we could hear everything from next door. Also room doors shut in a noisy way meaning disturbed sleep each night from people coming back in the early hours of the morning. Also disappointed with the room facilities. The curtain was hanging off the track – reported during our stay but not fixed. The toilet cistern was faulty and constantly refilled very noisily all day and night. Reported this as well and nothing done to fix it. The coffee machine didn’t work – again not fixed. The kitchenette with microwave and refrigerator was useful but with only one chair in the room one of us was always sitting on the bed. They offer no breakfast (that’s fine because they don’t pretend to offer it) but there are few nearby venues to find something to eat in the mornings and the hotel is in the middle of an Orthodox Jewish area with local shop closing times that may not be convenient. Despite the staff being friendly and welcoming and the room being serviced well, I would not stay again. It’s just too noisy and, for what it is, far too expensive.
