The Baltic Hotel

My room was very small but clean; however, the hallway carpets leading to the rooms from the elevator needs shampooing as it looks like lots of throw up spots are on them. There's free street parking if you can get one; best chances on weekends or holidays!

Random building adapted to be a hotel. Lacking design, ambience, lobby, etc. Has what feels like an improv counter as reception. No gym, no standard hotel facilities at all. No ice on all floors, need to go to basement. Small rooms with under average furniture, no phone for front desk, tv didn’t work, no bed cover (just sheets), only one towel (laundry problems), sink is next to the bed because it doesn’t fit bathroom. At least it was clean and A/C worked, which is why we stayed, but will never go back.

Small but great for a short stay not a far walk from Barclays center and plenty of food options. We found parking right outside the hotel so that’s a win!

It was in a warehouse area in Brooklyn didn't seem safe to me. I wouldn't park my car on the street. I found a secure parking garage around the corner. The hotel was basic and safe and clean.

Great service . Little tricky finding close parking.

Neighborhood wasn’t clean. Hotel service was below average. There was no parking even though the site said there was nearby parking

As an alternative to a motel, the Baltic Hotel is great. Small room (not even a closet!) and a tiny bathroom. But, extremely clean room and a very comfortable bed. Very basic frills (free wifi & free bagels), no vending machine or food is available (other than the bagels). You'll need to climb stairs to access the free bagels and the ice machine.

Everything was great except only one outlet in our room worked, and because it was the weekend, they couldn’t get an electrician in to fix it. Enjoyed the good coffee in the morning. And the outdoor patio available to our room.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was cute and clean but very small. The surrounding area is currently going through construction and perhaps a revitalization but is not great right now. This hotel is fine for a 1 or 2 night stay. Very few amenities.

The room is a hazard. One u walk on the room there a shelf one the wall my husband kept bumping his head. The room had a huge plaform bed that he also kept hiting just walking around the room. As for the breakfast is in a basement with no elevator access if your disabled. As per the condition is was clean and have no complains .

Unsafe location (bad neighborhood surrounding by garbage), unqualified staff, broken shades, no blankets or duvets, thin walls, and last but not least, bedbugs.

Found previous stays belongings in our room along with a few random peanuts? Found a bug crawling in the bed in the morning right before checking out. Disgusting

There were bugs in my bed. Sheets were not clean, they had stains.

The single person at the desk was indifferent, sluggish, and occasionally absent. There is nothing in the neighborhood but post-industrial decay. The hall carpet is stained with who-knows-what. Room floors are bare concrete. The a/c is a portable unit with an exhaust hose through the window. That said, the bed was clean and reasonably comfortable, the elevator didn't get stuck, the plumbing fixtures were new and functional, and nobody tried to break into our room. A hostel without the glitter.

Cleanliness: Zero. The bathroom had hair all over the shower wall, and there was a chewed gum on the nightstand. The room was a decent size, but there were no glasses to drink water. Staff service was good.

Our room was clean but the bed was not changed. The sheets were smelly and bunched at the bottom of the bed. We talked to the front desk and they changed them but this was disappointing

The establishment was not maintained, had noticeable insect infestation issues around the front desk and the staff was cold and unaccommodating. The area itself did not feel safe, and I do not advise booking here in the future.

hallways were dirty, room had a lot of damage, very poorly kept up.

I have been staying in a variety of hotels in Brooklyn over the past year. All of them fit in the price range that this one sits in. This is by far and away the worst of that group. Bare concrete floors are supposed to be easy to clean, but you do still have to clean them. This place does not. I found dust bunnies of human hair in my room. The pictured “shelf” in the bath is a rusted and rickety steel plate and yes those scissors were there when I arrived. Not a good decision to stay here. Stay away until they change their practices.

Place was okay, not the best sanitary wise. Hair in the shower .. walls were messy

Rooms were extremely small however the staff was really nice. I didn’t like how I constantly got misinformation about the property and certain things that I inquired about (parking,dining, MTA service). Would I stay here again? Yes if there’s no other place to stay.

Room was very small and didn't have room for my clothes..ok for a limited time stay but an issue for a bit longer stay

This is a barebones hotel ok for a night and for one person. Was very hot in the room - virtually no temp control. No blanket just a sheet. No place to put things or sit and no carpet. Barebones but managed easily for one night. You won’t want to spend time in the room.

A very well placed hotel. Very small rooms but okay beds and bathrooms. Breakfast was less than impressive - better to find something else where. Friendly and helpful staff

The Staff was extremely accommodating but the walls are incredibly thin. Keep this in mind when booking and don’t upgrade to the room with the couch. If so that upgraded room might be right behind the front desk. Despite that the hotel is nice and next to a concert venue!

The room was nice but VERY basic. No dresser or closet, barely enough space to walk around of luggage was out. The neighborhood is very noisy and the walls are paper thin so you hear EVERYTHING. It’s close enough to some subway stations, but the area is definitely not the most comfortable. The view out of our room was an abandoned building with windows broken. It was good enough, but not one I would recommend to others. Appreciated the elevator to our floor and coffee in the morning.

The room was awful. No room should be right next to the front desk or in the lobby. They put us in a room next to the front desk and lobby and you can hear everything. Every single conversation and people coming in and out of the building the walls are paper thin. We got a “two bed” room but really there was only a queen sized bed and a pull out couch. The bathroom sink is also really tiny and you can’t wash your face without water spilling all over the floor. I wouldn’t recommend booking here. They will charge you a $100 deposit that you get back after you leave. However, this wasn’t disclosed when I initially booked the hotel room. They also have snacks and water in lobby but you have to pay for it. $4 tax for a water bottle I could get at the nearby bodega for a dollar is robbery. Only good thing about this hotel is that it’s in a convenient location and only good for a 1-2 night stay. If you value your sleep, pick somewhere else to book a hotel room.

Firstly, the staff is great here. Helpful & friendly, they are fantastic! But, look you get what you pay for here. The location is pretty far from anything. You have to walk about 7-10 min. to get to the subway. There's a few cute places within walking distance (highly recommend Anaïs & the other direction, Smith St Bagels). But the hotel location could be a bit off-putting to some. Warehouses/work shops & a sketchy area right next to it at the corner. This area felt ok safe, but I wouldn't recommend it, unless you're city-savvy. Now the hotel room itself. Whew. Guys, can't you shell out a bit for a little storage? Or even hooks could help. There is nowhere to put your suitcase, thus clothes littered our room. Only 1 verrrry small hanger area on the opposite side of the bed. The sink is in the bedroom & is super small, no counter or area to store toiletries; everything kept falling on the floor. The shower is extreeemly small & not much water pressure. Bed was comfortable. The room was remarkably quiet. If you are looking for an inexpensive place to just sleep (you are going to be busy everyday) & you don't mind a bit of sketch & walking (more than you already do in NYC), then go for it.

Can't beat the price for the area and it'sjust a couple of blocks from two popular streets without being super noisy. Noise will just be there for most older buildings without extra fancy glass and noise generators. Still, it's not such a popular street as to have cars and noise at all hours which is perfect. The rooms are all a little different in terms of size, but enough for two people to be able to sleep for up to a week or perfect for single person travel. No desk, no chair and just enough space to get dressed. All should be expected for the price.

It was convenient for where we wanted to be. Kept kicking the bed frame. Sink is incredibly small. Showered was very nice.

The staff was not very friendly and they were unresponsive to requests when I ran out of toilet paper and kleenex. I had to take some from a common area restroom due to lack of response. $50 early check in fee for arriving 2 hours early, even though room was ready...just seemed kinda silly.

I booked a room at Baltic hotel and upon arrival, I was told there's no rooms available. Then they tried to offer me a room with no lock on it . Unacceptable customer service.

I arrived after driving for 5 hours that they cancelled my reservation. It was my go to as I’m in the area periodically. Never again.

Staff were helpful, courteous and helpful.

I stayed here for one night before running the Brooklyn Half Marathon. I was on the 4th floor and after having read some reviews that the walls were thin, I was delighted that the room was actually very quiet. The room is small and minimalist but has everything I needed for a restful stay. Bed was comfy and clean, AC worked great, the shower was perfect! The staff was kind and even put out hot coffee extra early in the morning for all the runners. They were also accommodating with late checkout in the morning.

Showed up on a late flight from JFK yesterday night only to find that they had "given away my room to someone else". Of course I had a reservation. The clueless and rude person at the front desk could barely muster an apology. I had to book a hotel last minute for nearly twice the price, plus an extra cab to get from this garbage box to the new hotel. Lost an hour of sleep. What a miserable experience. If you're going to "give away my room" and not honor my reservation, perhaps just give me a courtesy call so that I don't also waste cab fare??

I really wanted to give this hotel the benefit of the doubt but there were just so many problems. The bathmat in our room was dirty. There was one washcloth and it had a hole in it. The faucet and the shampoo dispenser holder were both broken. The person who checked us in apparently wrote the wrong room number down and so our room was given to someone else. Huge security break. Luckily the guest was honorable and immediately told them. Nothing was missing. Apparently there was a ton of confusion about which room we were in but no one r thought to call my cell phone? Or text? We had received texts prior to check in, so I know that was possible. My credit card run through the day we were supposed to check in even though it was a pay when you stay property. It was declined (as I knew it would be) and my partner had put his card down when we checked in. I didn’t notice the accidental charge till the next day and it caused a lot of stress. There was an extra $24 amenity fee which included bagels and yep you guessed it, they were stale and dry. The staff were generally nice but not at all professional except the guy who checked us out. This is run like a bad hostel not a hotel. Considering it was only $50 less a night than the Aloft - which was much closer to the subway - it was really not worth the money we saved. Honestly very disappointed.

The front desk ladies here were phenomenal!! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and felt way more at home because of them. It was my first time staying in Brooklyn and I felt safe here, always had parking within a block from the hotel, and was in a quiet area, Especially at night. A big thanks to Destiny in particular for making my stay amazing. 🙏

First room we were given had no curtain or shade on the window, just a broken shade support. We complained about that, asking for a fix or a different room so we could sleep. Were told it couldn't be fixed and there were no more rooms/fully booked. Told front desk that they provided only one bath towel for two guests in the room; someone brought us a HAND towel and said, "This will work really well." Eventually we demanded a refund or a different room, and were given a different room, so they were actually not fully booked. Second room also had only one bath towel. The second room was poorly designed--could only access one side of the queen bed. To reach the other side, had to crouch down under the TV to get past it. Toilet seat had urine stains at the broken hinges. No towel rack next to the sink in main room. One rusty metal shelf in the room to hold a tissue box, but right at eye level--one of us got clocked by it twice during our two night stay. Only one bedside light worked, and you could only turn it on and off WITH the very bright LED across the room--so no ability to have a bedside reading light. Left an amazon Kindle in the bed accidentally. Tried for a week to contact them to see if it was there (a family member lives nearby and could pick it up). No response to messages and, for days, no one would pick up the phone when I called. Eventually got someone who couldn't find it, but who said the manager would call me. Still waiting for that call

I asked for my room made up after I left for the day when I got back it was still dirty.

If you’re okay with being a 10-15 minute walk away from the subway and downtown Brooklyn, this hotel is a great budget option.

Great bed and shower for two night business trip. Quiet and clean. Walk about 10-20 minutes to great restaurants. Not much in the immediate vicinity. Ton of construction in the area.

The interior was average, but the exterior and surrounding area is not well kept.

Small but great for a short stay not a far walk from Barclays center and plenty of food options. We found parking right outside the hotel so that’s a win!

It is a decent place to sleep. Rooms are small, no closet and not much room for luggage. The bathroom has a toilet and a shower. The sink is in the small bedroom. Not a bad walk to the Barclay Center, so a good location if your are attending an event there.

Neighborhood wasn’t clean. Hotel service was below average. There was no parking even though the site said there was nearby parking

Perfect location for Barclays Center, clean quiet neighborhood.

The establishment was not maintained, had noticeable insect infestation issues around the front desk and the staff was cold and unaccommodating. The area itself did not feel safe, and I do not advise booking here in the future.

The Baltic is one of the few somewhat affordable options in this part of Brooklyn. The room was very basic, but reasonably clean. 10 min walk to subway and 10 min walk to Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens which is nice. If you need a place to sleep and don't plan to spend much time in your room, this place is hard to beat on price in the area. If you are looking for any more than the basics, this is not the place for you. The desk staff were friendly and efficient.

Friendly staff and cute little rooms with everything you'd expect. There are a couple of grocery stores nearby for snacks and the morning bagels were decent.

Staff were great and really helpful. Rooms are quiet, bright, clean and pleasant though pretty small. There's a light breakfast (coffee, teas, pastries, oatmeal) available until 10am. Overall it's a cheap (at least for Brooklyn prices) and cheerful base to explore the city from.

The staff was very engaging and helpful. The room was quite small but adequate. Great bagels for breakfast.

Good location for transportation and safe. They offer bagels in the morning and is great for what you need, we only use it for sleep and it was perfect!

A very well placed hotel. Very small rooms but okay beds and bathrooms. Breakfast was less than impressive - better to find something else where. Friendly and helpful staff

Excellent service and a comfortable room! I appreciated the delicious coffee and Brooklyn bagels in the morning. It really meant a lot that they made the continental breakfast time earlier for the guests running the Brooklyn Half Marathon. I did have a stained towel and a couple cobwebs in my room, but the convenient location and pleasant, helpful staff made up for it. I'd definitely stay here again!

For a short visit, it was good. The room was very small, the bathroom had the lavatory outside, near to the bed. The breakfast is scarce. Overall, good location, great staff and good hotel for a 3 nights stay, maximum

As an alternative to a motel, the Baltic Hotel is great. Small room (not even a closet!) and a tiny bathroom. But, extremely clean room and a very comfortable bed. Very basic frills (free wifi & free bagels), no vending machine or food is available (other than the bagels). You'll need to climb stairs to access the free bagels and the ice machine.

Property good location for Barclays Center. Breakfast no toppings for bagels. Hot drink cups missing. Room 207: window bed outlet not working. Outlet near TV has something stuck in it. Nightstand is rickety needs a leg shortened. TV was unplugged so had to figure that out. Attention to details needed.
