I've always said that I would never share a room or bathroom on holiday, but 3B changed my mind about that! The bunk room is ridiculously good value and it turned out to be absolutely fine for a 5 night stay. I went with a friend and we had various roommates throughout our trip who were all lovely, and we... More

My family and I stayed at 3B bed & breakfast for five nights at the end of March 2013. We highly recommend this B&B. Our double room was large, beautifully furnished (a hipster aesthetic) and with extremely comfortable beds and pillows. The shared bathroom and toilets were always spotlessly clean. The owners - a group of young people who lived... More

We really enjoyed our stay! The staff is nice, the breakfasts were wonderful, and the location is very convenient to a multitude of subway lines. We will definitely book 3B again for our next NYC trip.

On first arriving at 3B I was a little apprehensive as the location is very much in the heart of downtown brooklyn and I was a single woman travelling alone. The building itself is of an older style and the bathroom is very basic and reminded me of flats in my student days (though I understand soon to be renovated).... More

We had to find a place in NY and due to the circumstances there wasn't much selection. I saw the good 3B reviews on Tripadvisor but didn't rely on them because we had previously stayed at The Royalsborough Inn based on excellent reviews and really got burned, it was bad; another B&B had been an extraordinary experience so we were...

The service offered was very good and we did not feel in a hotel but in the house of a friend who hosts. From the way they welcome you feel comfortable and are greeted with a smile, at least we had the reception when we arrived. We had an access key to feel comfortable when you arrive and when you...

What an amazing place! Gourmet breakfasts not to be missed. Enlightening, stimulating conversation (I even left with leads on books I want to read). Astoundingly affordable (I jumped at the deal on a bed in the two-bunk room) and convivial launching pad for Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Over the past two years I've stayed in every room here. And often use the least expensive option -- the hostel-style bunk room. The plusses are many: 1. Great location. 3B sits on top of/is very near several key subway lines, with an entrance directly across the street. There's never a need to take a cab back from Manhattan later... More

We had high expectations, but they were surpassed. Rooms, location, people: Great! Brooklyn Bridge within walking distance. Easy subway connections. My impression is that a lot of interesting people stay there. Great conversations during the home-made breakfests.No elevators. No doormen. Just like home.

We had a great stay at 3B. Our room was clean, large and airy, perfect for two people for a few nights. Shared facilities were clean and tidy and we never needed to wait and always walked straight in which made life easy. Location was handy for subway and arriving from JFK. Easy walk over Brooklyn bridge each day for... More
