I arrived after my airport nightmare and was greeted by Anastasia at the front desk with a big smile. I knew the rest of the trip was going to go well after she checked me in. I was female traveling solo and I felt safe inside and out of this hotel. It's in a great location near Barclays Center and in an area full of restaurants. ALL the staff was top notch but I hope you have Anastasia and her smile and excellent customer service when you check in. read more

The room was quite adequate. However, despite being advised that the snack counter was available 24/7, at 1:50AM we were unable to purchase any food items. Total disappointment. Will not stay here again if in town for a concert. read more

This is definitely NOT a 4 star hotel. 3 at best, more like 2.5. Rooms dated, with stained linens and lamp shades. It feels sad to be here. Worst of all, 1 set of towels provided, which seems to be a common occurrence based on other reviews. And when asked for towels, never received. What kind of cost-saving measure is this, skimping on basic necessities? Not returning. read more

It's a great hotel. Pleasant staff and very helpful. It's a great relaxing wellness hotel that you can truly get a peace of mind in. The only downfall is the parking, it's to pricey. Overall great hotel read more

If I can give negative stars, I will. My family and I flew into New York (red eye) on Aug 1st, 2021, to have a summer vacation. And this hotel, Even Hotel in Brooklyn, NY, maliciously turned away their customers and us, and not allowing anyone to check in! This caused us almost stranded with no lodging, and a lot of hassle to scramble to find another hotel to stay immediately for the whole one-week trip! Our flight was arrived early in the morning from San Francisco, and we were told at around 8 am to wait for a few hours before we can check-in. After patiently we waited for 7 hours, at 3 pm, they took us by surprise and said that they could not check-in anyone the whole day because their system was down (they also claimed that their internet connection was down too.) The management lady even mentioned that she was not the one who instructed to not telling what was going wrong, and she indirectly blaming her colleague was the one who was not telling the truth in the past 7 hours. They suggested us to go to another hotel nearby which they claimed that hotel has vacancies. But then, we found out the hotel across the street (Holiday Inn) was not even accepting any walk-in customers at the time. The worst problem and practice were that, they did not tell us and other customers earlier when we first arrived in the morning (also at noon and 2 pm - when we asked for status) which they already knew the system was down as they mentioned !! In fact, they intentionally lied to their customers early on and bet on the system be fixed before 3 pm. In short, they did not care about their customers and services, and intentionally left their customers stranded without any time to prepare for the worst. They also have no plan to help their customers in such a worst-case scenario and abruptly turned their customers away instead. This is the worst I have ever seen as a frequent traveler. I strongly recommend everyone to stay away from making reservation with this hotel. read more

We were excited to try out the new Even Hotel. It worked for the weekend but didn't make me want to return there. Pros - new clean, space. The prettiest space is the interior courtyard. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms spacious. Cons - really sketchy area around hotel. Walked during day but wouldn't want to want at night. No great shopping or restaurants near by. My daughter and I are both 5 feet tall. The tall desk and chair were very uncomfortable for us. Missed microwave to warm up pizza. Ice machines and buckets were underwhelming. Breakfast choices were OK but not great. Was told today that I would have to pay if I wanted a second glass of orange juice FROM THE SELF-SERVICE MACHINE. Breakfast service for a few simple choices was very very slow. Needed more help. Guy at check in desk charged my incidental credit card over $700 in error. Hotel was already paid via Expedia and I kept telling him that. So now I have to fight to get it straightened out. Won't be a repeat or a recommendation to friends. read more

Don't stop. We booked this room in advance through travelocity as we had family in the area. Upon arriving, in addition to the $400 room rate, we paid $50 to leave the car on the street while they call their valet service that works somewhere else, and takes 30 minutes to come. The room we booked was a king size bed in advance,, but the room we were given had two full beds. We only requested a king, it is not guaranteed. The room we finallly received after they moved things around was a king and a joke. The only seat was a bouncy ball. There was a dorm room closet. Nowhere to put our luggage. Noisy, uncomfortable, but lots of exercise equipment. If I wanted to exercise, I'de go to a gym, not a hotel room. I've never seen anything of the sort and hope I never do in the future. read more

I would have given them five stars but we were double charged for our room to our credit card upon check in. Seems that this is a common mistake after reading the other Yelp reviews. We booked on Priceline but we had a hold put on our credit card for $648 when it was only suppose to be $100 for incidentals at checkin. To this day no ones has called us back from the hotel or corporate. No one was able to help during our stay either. We were always told the Finance Manager would get back to us and still no calls. Not one. Room was excellent. Gym was very nice. Machines were a little too next generation for me but did the job. Very close to the Barclays Center. Disappointed that there is no all day room service. Will likely try the new Holiday Inn across the street with great Korean restaurant attached. Food was excellent. read more

Cute hotel with nice staff. However, this is the smallest room I've ever seen. It's good for a young single person but once you add another body it's way too small. It's like someone challenged the designer to make a room smaller than what one would find in Europe lol. I'm in a King Premium and can't imagine what the smaller room looks like read more

Good place. I have stayed a few time on business. Comfortable beds and the rooms I had we very quiet. No amazing room views, but that does not bother me. The work out equipment in the room can be a bit much, especially when you just want to be a fat ass and eat chips while watching re runs on tv. Staff was very friendly. I do really like the self serve pantry store. Lots of good things to choose from and they don't gouge the prices like most hotels do. read more

My wife and I stayed for three nights. They have custom "king" beds that are several inches shorter, which they do not advertise. These are NOT king size beds. I'm 6'2", my feet hung way over the edge. DO NOT stay here if you're over 5'8". Manager Joe was supposed to call us to fix the situation, but never called. We spoke with the front desk on day one, and they assured us Joe would contact us to fix it, as I was unable to sleep on the first night (Or any other night). We had fully planned on booking at the Holiday Inn (with real king beds) for our last two nights, directly next door. The area is great, but these beds are TERRIBLE. A simple call from Joe to reimburse our last two nights would have been quite simple. read more

We have stayed at this EVEN Hotel in Brooklyn 3 previous times, while visiting family who live nearby, but will not stay here again. I had booked for one night, this September, about 3 weeks ago, but was subsequently billed for 3 nights. After trying several times to contact EVEN/IHG for help to rectify this, without success because the two times I got thru to a human, I was shunted to a computer voice with Music, that cut off after a few minutes. Then I tried disputing this 3-night charge thru my credit card company, but EVEN/IHG stonewalled them by simply insisting that "our records show, 3 nights". Wrong. And I resent it, and EVEN. read more

I booked this based on the decent reviews but it was not a pleasant experience. Upon checking in we discovered multiple holes/slashes in the sheets. When we asked for a sheet change they were left folded on top of the bed. TV did not work. Room smelled like a can of baby powder disinfectant spray exploded in it. Smelled so bad it prevented sleep. Lots of street noise during the night and ongoing disruption from HVAC. Pulls and threads hanging from every towel. Let's just say I have never been happier to go home. read more

We come to New York at ton to see family and this is one of the top places we have stayed at. The receptionist, Simone, was so kind and accommodating during our entire stay. Our room was upgraded, just cause. It was was beautiful and comfortable. Our window wouldn't completely close and Simone had a staff sent up to fix it within minutes. EVEN is right in the middle of downtown with tons of options for food, and parking. The hotel is super secure, you need to use your key to enter the building, and use the elevator. There are parking garages but those add up during a longer stay, but we had no problem finding on street parking. If you're thinking about booking your stay, stop thinking and just do it. You won't regret it. Even NY locals approve. read more

A newer Hotel with excellent reasons to stay . I will say the only drawback would be is if you need lots of floor space for kids, crib etc. This hotel has a roomy lobby which has couches and lots of room to relax , go to the cute bar to grab an alcohol or non alcho drink..I'm not sure if they have a full service restaurant but they have a pretty nice prep to order breakfast that wasn't free in our situation. Morning Coffee (3$) was strong & freshly pressed!! All the staff , & I mean ALL were incredibly in a great mood and helpful, something that we appreciated and one of the gentlemen was there a full 24 hours for New Years and was incredibly able to function with a happy attitude !!!! If we have to come back to this area we will make it a point to stay there again because we slept well and overall loved it here .. the room is styled with fitness and a yoga ball in your room provided was different .. but you do have the luxury of free water on every floor, healthy and not so healthy snacks for sale in lobby, plain and citrus flavored waters in the lobby, super pleasantly comfortable rooms that are clean and cozy- with a fridge in room too! read more

EVEN Hotel Brooklyn - Our son relaxing before we check in .. very cozy and relaxed here - Hotels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My stay was fine, and it was a nice hotel. After I had paid they asked for a credit card for incidentals on the room. After that they then billed that card several hundreds of dollars. When I called to get it fixed I was transferred several times resulting in being disconnected and put on hold many times. I have spent around 45 minutes on the phone and not talked to anyone who was capable or willing to help me. read more

Clean and modern hotel with efficient friendly service, the major drawback is the lack of room service.

Great value. Rooms are small but clean and beds are comfortable. There is a self-service food market on the ground floor, as well as a few fitness rooms. If you are health-conscious and into exercise (I am not), there is a yoga ball and mat in the room. Also nighttime herbal tea at the front desk. The hotel is like two blocks from the Hoyt-Schermerhorn stop so you can get anywhere fast. read more

Stayed here during a travel assignment. Great costumer service, location is walking distance to shopping stores downtown. If you have the option, pick a room without a connecting door. Gives little privacy, you can hear everything next door. read more

We visited for literally one night as we had tickets to the LIT AF comedy show at the Barclay. We drove in from MD so driving through downtown Brooklyn was hectic at the time of arrival (12p) on a Friday. Busy busy, but it's expected. The building is on a corner and easy to locate given the sign. The entrance/front area was clean but the set up is a bit odd, the desk area is in the middle but it isn't a typical hotel check in desk, so at first you're not 100% sure that this is the check in desk. Check in & out process was super easy and efficient, the ladies were very friendly and did not appear to be overwhelmed given the many guests especially during check out on Saturday morning. The little cafe has enough food and snacks options, good service too. But obviously there is plenty of other foods and restaurants outside of the hotel (great pizza on the corner). The room was very clean! I truly appreciate a clean room and the bed was inviting! We had one of the wellness rooms which I thought was pretty cool but due to the limited time we actually spent in the room, did not use any of the equipment provided. Bathroom was also very clean. I appreciated the Clorox towels in the bathroom (I'm not a hotel kind of gal due to germs) so I used those frequently. Because I work in property management, I tend to look at things that maybe the general public doesn't, so I did inspect for bed bugs and thankfully did not see any current or previous activity. The building is overall in great shape, it is not an old establishment clearly. However, I strongly recommend a "refresh" especially in the main lobby hallways, gym and the elevator. New paint and deep scrubbing of the walls and tile areas and the elevator for sure needs to be cleaned thoroughly, would certainly make it stand out and be a good look. This hotel is not fancy at all, its different and focused on wellness (duh) so it has its own vibe which I thought is very cool especially for NYC. Price was right too. We walked to the shops on Fulton St and also to the Barclay (a 8 minute walk). Location was important to us as we did not plan on driving and or riding the train. There is no attached parking. We parked our car for $35 for a 24 hour period at the parking garage to the right (under the Holiday Inn hotel) great customer service!! Our I guess biggest "complain" although its NYC, we heard the train each and every time it went by, like actually vibrated our bed and heard each time it rode on each track (we were on the 4th floor facing the Holiday Inn). Its NYC though so it is what it is. But it did wake me up a few times. We would stay again if on a short trip but maybe we'll ask for a room higher up or facing the other side. read more

EVEN is a very well kept hotel, with a cool, zen-like vibe and a great staff. The lobby is very bright and inviting. As mentioned in previous reviews, upon entering the lobby there's a "hydration station" where they offer 4 options of filtered water. The lime-ginger was my favorite. Check-in was a breeze, it took about 6/7 minutes. Our room was clean and comfy with cork floors - I love it as I'm always hesitant to walk on hotel's carpeted floors. Our room overlooked the courtyard so we had a "better" view considering the location (Brooklyn by a couple of high rises). In addition to a fully equipped gym with weights, elliptical, treadmill, TRX bands/straps, and a couple of them all in one machines. Every room has fitness equipment, including resistance bands, light weights and a stability ball. The bathroom is also fully stocked with soap, lotion, etc. In the shower there's a dispenser with 2 types of shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. We enjoyed our stay at EVEN and will highly recommend it to anyone visiting Brooklyn. Note: These are pictures from our second stay. read more

After an awesome weekend in NYC, I just have to give Even Hotels Brooklyn a full 5 stars. First, after a stressful flight cancellation, I rebooked for Friday AM. I had been calling them about all the delays that were occurring and then called to tell them I wouldn't be getting in at all on Thursday night. I actually said I would pay for Thursday night because I just needed this reservation to be available when I got there and they changed my checkin to Friday and didn't charge me. This certainly helped since I had to buy some very expensive last minute tickets on an airline. Whew! Fast forward to Friday at around 11AM - we were able to check in after about 15 minutes of waiting and after I told them it was me who had all the phone calls the next day, they made sure I could check into a room immediately so I could take a nap! I brought them all some Nashville-made Goo Goo candies too, maybe that helped. Ha! The lobby is modern and sleek and has a large area with coffee, fresh squeezed OJ, healthy snacks, and whatnot. This orange juice squeezer is something to behold honestly - you can see it working and the oranges get fed in from the top and it crushes them as you pour the juice. There are kiosks there to charge your items or put them on the room. There's also a bar area which is nice for a happy hour drink. And if you are into working out, they have a two level workout room with tons of equipment. Probably one of the best workout rooms I've seen in a hotel. The water available in the lobby was also nice - ginger lime infused water!? Yes! You use your room key to get into the elevator and go to your floor. The room was small, but not as small as some I have stayed in there in NYC. Honestly, they did a lot with the space available. The closet housed the coffee maker, small fridge, iron, etc. The TV was mounted on the wall to save space. There was a fold up/down desk beside the TV. The bed was a king and was so soft and comfy - we really loved that bed. There's an alarm clock where you can also set some ambient light which was interesting. Also, there are like a billion USB ports and plugs everywhere! Including beside the bed on both sides so you can have your phone charging near you. Window had a shade on it that made the room satisfactorily dark. Bathroom was actually not bad sized, had very good lighting, stand up shower with shampoo, conditioner, and two types of shower gel in dispensers. Cute! There was also the hairdryer in there which was nice. Beside the bathroom is a little workout station with a foam roller, some bands, etc. You can use the workout book provided in the room if you need some inspiration. I don't know, I didn't use that shit, but if I were on a business trip where I was trying to be good I might. OH and the floor had an ice dispenser/filtered water so you could fill up a water bottle. Nice. All of this was cool and all, but I thought the staff were all the nicest ever. We sat at the bar before leaving for our show and talked to many folks that work there and found them all to be pleasant and helpful. One of them even suggested a dive bar for after our concert and we managed to go and we loved it. They were all friendly and knew what they were doing which is something to be said nowadays when you go to a hotel. These people seem like they like to work there and it shows. The location is a short walk from the subway station (2 of them) and about a 10 minute walk to Barclays. Also, I never had to wait more than 1 or 2 minutes for a Lyft when I needed to do that. Awesome! I wasn't sure if I would enjoy staying in Brooklyn rather than Manhattan and I have to say, it was great. Overall, we enjoyed this hotel and interacting with the people staying there. I will definitely look for these hotels on other trips and will consider staying here again when I come back to NYC. read more

Had to kill an hour in the neighborhood and thought I'd watch some World Cup Soccer. The cafe/restaurant on the ground level is comfortable, nicely lit, pretty easy going with the NYC visitors down for breakfast. But the staff is what made it, especially Alyssa. Everyone was as welcoming and accommodating as anyone would ask. Alyssa gladly helped with a comfortable spot to chill, raised the volume on the TV, and of course provided excellent, professional service. I was pretty hungry. Ordered a frittata. Very good. The chef's name is Shanae as I found out... complements. Vegetables and some turkey bacon in the mix, fruit salad on the side. I got some sourdough toast on the side and that filled up the tank to "full". Delicious. I'm certainly coming back here and recommend it for soccer matches or breakfast. read more

Definitely one of my favorite hotels that I've ever visit. The staff was amazing and so friendly from the moment I walked to the door and I had a phenomenal experience and was greeted with such kindness. Susan was amazing and such a great problem solver. The rooms are a little small so don't be surprised It's a New York they were talking about. But it is so worth it! I would definitely stay at this hotel again and again and again!!!! read more

Absolutely fantastic hotel with unbelievable service, super friendly staff, nice sized rooms, and very inviting lobby. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Better than IHG. Hotels in the city too. read more

Have stayed here twice and really enjoyed it both times. Best part is the gym -- state of the art machines kept super clean and in great condition. Rooms are clean, reasonably sized, and I got a great upgrade for free. Also love the quaint little bar and patio, and the location is ideal for hopping back and forth to Manhattan. Only complaint is the air conditioner in my room wasn't strong enough and they claimed to fix it but it still didn't work sufficiently. During a New York summer that's pretty tough. read more

The hotel overbooked the rooms and did not notify me that they had sold off my reservation until I showed up late at night. They were incredibly unhelpful in finding me a new place to stay, and still have not refunded me after more than a week. I have called well over 10 times and their HR and Sales departments either don't pick up or hang up the phone halfway through the call. Incredibly poor service overall. read more

My girlfriend & I, booked a stay here to bring in the New Year. The stay started out fine, room is tiny but bed is comfortable, which was expected from reading previous reviews. Location is near downtown Brooklyn & walking distance from the mall & plenty restaurants. Everything was fine until we removed the Do Not Disturb hanger off the room door on New Years Eve. Housekeeping came in & cleaned, but apparently they must have thought I didn't want my $200 pair of shoes because upon packing to leave I didn't see them. New Year's Day we noticed my girlfriend's shoebox was missing(she literally bought them the day before(12/31)). We thought, "Why would they throw away a shoebox?". Well it now it makes sense, they took my shoes & put them in her box & somehow thought we wouldn't notice? I'm spire elite with IHG which means I frequently book their hotels & not ONCE in the years that I have stayed at ANY of the hotels have I had something STOLEN!! No way they were misplaced, this was the only place I took them off. Hotel management has started me with an insurance claim but that isn't very settling. After management investigated, she told me that housekeeping entered the room while someone was in the shower, & a man came in requesting to not change the bedsheets(definitely not me). I thought that maybe another guest deceived the housekeeper & entered the room. Things get questionable here, I asked the general manager if that was a possibility & she said no, stating that housekeeping staff is trained to not let anyone in while cleaning & do not clean with anyone in the room. Even in case of emergency they have to double check with the front desk. RIGHT AFTER she told me that someone WAS IN THE ROOM WHILE THE HOUSEKEEPER WAS CLEANING. That's confirmation to me that my shoes were surely stolen. Management seems semi-concerned, saying maybe they threw them in the garbage. I felt that assumption was garbage, I stay in IHG hotels nearly year round & not once have I had a pair of shoes(no matter the condition!) mistaken as trash. TERRIBLE!! read more

I booked this hotel for one night for a wedding I am attending soon. I called and asked for an additional night. The reservation agent gave me the 2nd night for the same price as the wedding room rate even though the block of rooms for the wedding was for one night only. I was so happy he did this for me. But I never received a confirmation so I called back to request it. Upon receipt the rate was not at the wedding room rate I was promised and was significantly higher. I called again to explain and they would not honor the discounted rate and now I am scrambling to find something I can afford. I readjusted my whole weekend since I thought I was staying for two nights. I am extremely upset over the horrible service this hotel provided me and will cancel my preferred member account and never book with Even Hotels again!!! read more

Really love this hotel for short stays in NYC. Close to subway. Physioball and standing desk in room. Comfy bed. Good wifi. Clean. And, affordable! read more

Friendly staff. No infrastructure. Limited kleenex and toilet paper on checkin. No coffee. Bathroom door would not stay closed. Found a housekeeper to remedy 1, 2, & 3. Beds far too soft. Needed instructions on how to lower the blackout shade--took 15 minutes to figure it out. Focus on yoga, etc. weird. Will not stay again. read more

I'm extremely fussy when it come to choosing hotels. My family and I stayed a couple nights this summer. We were trying to avoid Manhattan due to the cost. This was a very clean nicely decorated hotel. The room was very small, however immaculate. The bathroom was really nice. I loved the walk in shower. Again, very clean. The toiletries in the bathroom have a very pleasant scent which I appreciated. If you're into fitness equipment they have a bunch of items in the room which was kind of cool. The beds were firm but comfortable. I like that they had USB ports next to the bed. I would definitely stay here again next time we go to New York City. read more

This place surprised me. Cheaper than some of the nearby hotels but one of the more interesting places I've stayed. There is an in-room workout area, yoga mat, one of those big balls. Nice soap. I don't know, it was cool. Would definitely stay here again. read more

What a nightmare! First off, these guys cheat you by stating these are king sized beds!!!! They are shorter than a twin bed!!!! I am 6'7 and I had my girlfriend with me so no diagonal sleeping :(. Woke up several times due to blood circulation issues as my feet were hanging out of the bed. Now an hotel is really good for one thing when you are in New York, sleep! But this hotel is so badly designed that noises from the venting system, from other guests opening their shades at 4am will sound like a raccoon is climbing up the vents of the room. We basically woke up 3 times a night. So forget about resting. We paid $100 a night, if it was a little bit more I would have created a riot and asked for my money back. not worth any extra penny! to be honest not worth the money or the time. Just a really bad experience! read more

This is the hotel with everything. Lots of fitness equipment even in the rooms, and a room on the ground floor with treadmills and other work out gear. They will even wash your workout clothes. The breakfast and main meal offerings are healthy, not too extensive, but well done. The bar doesn't serve hard alcohol, but the wine based drinks are very tasty, if occasionally served with too much ice! My problem with this hotel is the room perfume, which triggered my asthma. I'm not sure if it's in the carpets only, or if it's used on hard surfaces too. There is a blackboard in the rooms so I left a note asking the room maid to not use the room perfume. She was so sweet to thank me for notifying her of my problem and stopped using whatever was the culprit. But the stuff permeates the room and caused coughing whenever I entered. With my medications I was able to control most of my symptoms, but if we had known beforehand we could have opted to find another place, or given the hotel advance notice to prepare the room. I'm not sure I will stay in this chain again, unless I can be assured there has been no "perfume" used in the room - ever. read more

I travel 4-5 times a week for business which has me staying at many different hotels. This hotel gets a A+ for experience & uniqueness. While other hotels provide a basic gym, this brand has wrapped its brand around the whole "wellness" theme. The rooms are designed to be comfortable, organized, contemporary and while also providing a private space in your room to workout complete with a TRX styled bar, yoga mat and other exercise equipment in your room. In addition to the unique concept of being able to work out in your room, the hotel offers 2 additional gyms, each fully equipped with high end equipment. Little touches light LED controlled room mood lighting, a pull open desk and a large contemporary well lit bathroom. The experience is unequalled by any other competing brand. While the Loft is comparable, EVEN with its wellness concept has become my first choice to book when I travel to any markets where they have a location. I highly recommend staying at this property. The décor, amenities , staff are what you would expect from a 5 star property. read more

Obviously a business that cares more about profit than customers. We had to cancel a trip due to a severe illness. The EVEN Hotel refused to credit back our stay even though we gave them 5 days notice. Granted, it was a "non cancelable" reservation, but so were the airlines, AirBnb and other booking we made. They were the only ones who held on to their profit instead of doing the right thing and making a complete refund. How sad! They should be ashamed of themselves. read more

Thank you to EVEN HOTELS for making our wedding experience wonderful. While we didn't have our wedding there, we booked 2 rooms to get ready in and my husband and I stayed a couple days after the wedding. The staff is s friendly and patient. Admittedly, we were much needier than normal, since we were getting ready for a wedding. It seemed like we couldn't ask for too much. The staff was prompt with our requests and very accommodating and smiled through it all. It was a truly kind and welcoming experiencing. We will certainly recommend this location to friends and family and if we ever need a hotel in BK again, we'll certainly consider staying here. Thank you again to the wonderful staff! read more

I stayed here for one night due to the close proximity of a show I attended at the Brooklyn Academy of Music which was 6 minutes away. First, I want to say that the staff at the front desk were very helpful and friendly during my stay. Right when you walk in, you'll notice that guests can treat themselves to a free cup of water. You also get to keep the water bottle that is in your hotel room. I love that this hotel promotes health and wellness! Highly recommended if you are in Brooklyn. read more
