The Awesome B&B was great for the kind of travel that we had planned. We were 3 guys who wanted to see all of the tourist attractions in NYC in 5 days. The B&B was close to several subway lines, so it was convenient to get into Manhattan or the other boroughs in the mornings. The street construction didn't bother... more

It is definitely not clean. We did not get the room which we booked and there was a lot of noise because road and subway construction work. more

Having seen a review here re reservation confirmation, I was worried that our reservation might not be a confirmed one although I had confirmation from the booking agent. I got onto Skype to speak to the B&B direct - it was fine and the owner, Carl, was extremely helpful. I noticed that they are slow to respond to email and... more

I booked a 3 night stay at the Awesome through the Lonely Planet Booking system and confirmed the reservation directly with the BnB via telephone as requested. However, when we arrived (slightly later than anticipated due to being ripped off by a taxi driver, but thats another story) there was no answer. I tried to phone but there was no... more

My trip to NY was planned at fairly short notice and as i was not going with my partner (ai sharing the cost of a room), i needed a fairly cheap accommodation. Awesome was: -Cheap -The owner is really nice and helpful -Actually really well placed, a short tube ride into Manhattan but i have really found that some of... more

Fun, funky Awesome allows the traveler to get a taste of Brooklyn. The Awesome B&B offers small, but clean, rooms with a creative decor that you won't find at the Marriot down the street. Carl the innkeeper, an honest fellow who sent us an e-mail preceding our arrival to alert us about the construction outside the building, appeared surprised that... more

We are really looking forward to staying here after reading the reviews. We booked this property online in September for a November stay. Our credit card was charged a deposit- we were sent confirmation email(s) and the only "to do" on the confirmation email was to call the day of the stay to advise the inn-keeper what time you would... more

Awesome B&B is not only the best deal in town, but we go out of our way to make sure that our guests are treated well, as many of our reviews clearly indicate. Sometimes people make complaints and don't appreciate or acknowledge how Awesome goes of its way to help find alternative accomodations. I don't know 1 hotel in NYC...

Awesome B&B is certainly an awesome place, especially once you get there. If, on the other hand, you don't actually get to stay there because your reservation, made on their website and confirmed in person 2 months in advance, is then suddenly cancelled 5 days before your stay (first by a laconic email stating that there are no rooms available,... more

To confirm a reservation once we receive a request requires a valid credit card. Explaining a credit card was declined to a card holder is usually a surprise to them. Although we may understand their surprise, we can not confirm the reservation request.

Graet location near to subway. Good clean facilities - free wireless and cable TV. Best thing was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Great value for money. more

Unassuming on the outside, a breath of fresh air - though not literally in a NY indian summer - on the inside. Great and knowledgeable host, charming rooms and bathrooms, whose ornaments and decorations keep you busy while showering. Subway stops that take you into Manhattan close. Dump you overpriced bland Manhattan hotel for this truly original b & b. more
