We stayed here for one night. We arrived before check-in time and they checked us in immediately. It was very nice to get in immediately. Room was clean. There are many restaurants a NY block away along 5th Ave. Prospect Park is about a mile away. Subway is close. The front desk guys were quick to get us ice. Everybody was really friendly. They printed my cruise luggage tags. I left my water bottle on the front desk and it was still there hours later. I hadn't even realized I left it. Chairs for the balcony would have been nice but I can understand why if there has been a party issue. We slept well. I would definitely stay again.

The price point and pictures of Hotel Le Bleu lead customers to believe they are getting a hip Brooklyn experience. However, you are getting a view of a UHaul parking lot, a hotel with an uncomfortable “concept” (the glass enclosed lobby is awash in creepy blue light), and an unclean room where the “450 thread count” sheets are old worn and pilled, pretzels can be found randomly on your floor, doors are filthy with grubby hand marks, and there is human hair on your bath towels. This is for a room that is $440 before fees. My husband and I took one look at the room, walked out and stayed at the nearby Ace Hotel where we had a magnificent, clean, and calming experience for the same price point. Other features of this hotel that make it feel uncomfortable: signs warning guests that the hotel is not liable for any damage to cars parked in the private hotel parking lot, and required hotel security deposit (what?!), and signs warning customers that there was no partying allowed.

Some aspects of this hotel were lovely, but I cannot give it more than two stars for a few of reasons. One is that the bath towels were seriously not much larger than the hand towels, and were in extremely poor condition including being stained and frayed. I thought about asking for new towels, but then saw "fresh" towels on a cart for room service, and they were all in terrible condition. I am a fairly small woman (American size 6), and I could not wrap the bath towel around myself. The second major issue with this hotel is that the bedding was also in terrible condition. The sheets were pilled and not entirely clean looking. I found hairs and lint in my bed, which completely grossed me out. The mattress was also extremely soft and sinking in the middle. Basically, all of the bedding and linens need a major refresh. The rooms are actually very well designed and attractive, but there are many issues that need to be addressed, including the fact that the bathroom door would not stay closed (it's like a barn door, but it just kept sliding opened and there was no way to latch it closed), and the toilet paper holder was broken. If these issues could be dealt with, I would happily stay at this hotel again. I do think it has a lot of potential to be very nice.
