We found the neighborhood to be in transition, but very quiet at night.As two women, we felt very safe walking around. Located near a school, on street parking is limited and the property has no parking lot. We were on the front of the B&B and the room was clean, very comfortable bed but carpeting was a tad shabby. The... More

This is a beautiful Victorian house, a short (but uphill) walk from the ferry, so very convenient for getting into Manhattan, at about half the price of accommodation there. We had a huge apartment on the ground floor, with comfortable bed (and TV, easy chairs and other furniture in the room), full kitchen (in which breakfast magically appeared before we... More

This is our second time staying at Fort Place, and we love it. It's convenient, clean, comfortable and hassle free. Great value for money in NY. Both times we've stayed there, we got the entire second floor to ourselves - 2 bedrooms, bathroom and a breakfast room. Our 4 yr old daughter loves going there as she gets her own... More

Thought this place was a real gem, in terms of price and ease of travel into Manhatten. As single traveller it is not unusual to get the smallest room in the house but I had a choice of 2 great rooms. Saw Paul a couple of times during stay, he was helpful as much as I needed it...and quite accomodating... More

I don't know how all 20 reviews were so positive. My mother and I stayed there during the snowstorm New York just had. We wanted a drink of water shortly after we arrived and there was absolutely nothing to drink....not even a cup to use if we got water out of the bathroom faucet. I asked him what time (light)...

We stayed for two nights at Fort Place in August 2011. We chose Fort Place as we didn't fancy driving and parking on Manhattan and felt that the ferry ride from Staten Island would be a good way to arrive in NY. The location is very convienent being only 5 minutes walk from the ferry terminal. The neighbourhood is OK.... More

We chose this B&B due to it's location, we wanted something close to NYC but far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle at the end of the day. It was a very short walk to the Ferry terminal and straight onto the subway at the other end. The uphill walk at the end of the day was hard... More

Was looking for a reasonably priced place to stay and found this place through Tripadvisor. Was able to get entire floor (2 bedrooms, sitting room and bathroom) to accomodate family of 4. Rooms were comfortable and warm and the location (about a 10 minute walk to Staten Island ferry) was good. Area around the place is not attractive, however, I... More

Myself, my partner and our two grow up kids stayed here the week before Chrismas and it was great! Paul the owner was very descreet but welcoming. The B&B itself is a delightful place to stay, very homely and the decor is warm and friendly. The weather when we were there was Freeeezing!!! But the rooms we stayed in (... More
