1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge

WiFi doesn’t work, pool staff stood around having a conversation while the pool surrounded by empty dirty plates and glasses etc, very disappointing

Beautiful hotel but the staff gives preference to non hotel guests which is trashy for the level of “eco luxury.” None of the outdoor restaurants seating is reserved for hotel guests and they close the pool 2 hours before sunset so they can fill up the pool deck with dinner tables catered To local rabble and reports pass people Never again for The price

I gave this place a second chance because the rooftop views are beautiful and they host many parties. Unfortunately the staff that work on the rooftop and in the lobby are very rude. First time when we went for a party, the event was oversold, the roof was so packed that it felt unsafe. We left shortly and stayed downstairs for drinks instead of enjoying the roof. Last night my friends and I went again. While admiring the view, I briefly stood by the rooftop restaurant to take a quick photo of the city skyline. Instead of politely explaining that that section is for restaurant guests, a staff rudely told me to move away and made a dismissive gesture as if shooing me off. I was genuinely surprised by how disrespectful they treated guests. Even the guests at dinner looked bewildered by the interaction. Great views can only go so far when the hospitality falls this short. Not coming back again.

Disappointing Fourth of July Experience at a Hotel We Previously Loved My wife and I stayed at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge a few years ago and had a wonderful experience, which is why we chose to return for the Fourth of July weekend. Unfortunately, this stay was very different from our previous visit and fell far short of what we expected from a five-star hotel. We spent approximately $7,500 for a three-night stay and the July 4 rooftop fireworks event, so our expectations were understandably high. The hotel itself is beautiful, our room was very nice, and the fireworks were spectacular. However, the service, communication, and organization throughout the weekend did not match the luxury experience or pricing. Some of the issues we experienced: • We stayed on a high floor, yet a DJ played extremely loud music with heavy bass well past midnight on two of our three nights. Even with earplugs, we could still hear the thumping, making it difficult to sleep. • There was confusion regarding the rooftop pool hours on July 4. We were told it would be open until 8 p.m., so we went up around 1:30 p.m. Only at 3 p.m. were we told we had to leave because the pool was closing for the event. • Poolside food service was disappointing. Our food arrived without utensils or napkins. After asking, we waited, then had to ask again ten minutes later. By the time we received them, our food was cold. • Throughout our pool experience and the July 4 event, dirty plates and empty glasses were left around the seating areas for long periods. When we asked for the area to be cleaned, we were told they would get to it, but it was never addressed. • At the fireworks event, which cost $1,500 for two tickets, we waited about 20 minutes in the buffet line only to find there were no utensils available. We waited another ten minutes, resulting in cold food. • Our bathroom sink was clogged and our toilet ran continuously during our stay. We reported both issues and were told an engineer would come to the room, but no one ever arrived and the problems were never fixed. • Café service was also disappointing. Staff were not particularly welcoming, and basic breakfast items such as yogurt were already unavailable early in the morning. The biggest disappointment was the handling of the July 4 rooftop event. After paying for premium tickets, we went from our room to the rooftop and were told we needed wristbands. No one could clearly explain where to get them. We were eventually directed outside to wait in line with the general public. Despite being hotel guests who had already paid for the event, we waited approximately 45 minutes outside in nearly 100-degree heat. When we reached the front, we were told we needed identification that no one had previously informed us we needed. Ultimately, we were allowed in, but by then we were sweaty, frustrated, and had to return to our room to change before enjoying the event. The rooftop itself was also extremely overcrowded, and closed umbrellas around the edge blocked views of the fireworks for some guests. When we asked if they could be moved, we were told they could not. We contacted the hotel after our stay to share our concerns. We appreciated the $200 incidental credit they offered, but given the number of issues during such an expensive stay, we did not feel it reflected the overall experience. As of this review, we have not received any further response from management. This review is difficult to write because we genuinely enjoyed our previous stay at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge and wanted to return for another special occasion. Unfortunately, this Fourth of July experience felt poorly organized and did not reflect the level of service expected from a luxury property. We hope management takes this feedback seriously, because the hotel has a beautiful location and tremendous potential. However, a five-star hotel experience requires not only a beautiful property, but also consistent service, communication, and attention to detail.

Cute hotel and luxurious, room quite small for what you pay for but besides that, it’s a great hotel in Brooklyn! Rooftop super nice and the view is unbelievable. Food is good and their ice latte is so addicting lol

Just an amazing experience. Top of the top!

Always a fantastic experience at this hotel. Alejandro, Stanley, and Alex all went above and beyond to make my stay special. Rooftop pool is beautiful and views are unmatched. Highly recommend!!

10/10 experience. The view was ridiculous, staff was polite, calm, friendly, professional and caring. I could see the Brooklyn bridge, skyline and water from my room! Loved everything about it and highly recommend it. Sucks I only had one night here

Highly recommend 1 hotel! Great vibe, comfort and location. Yesenia and Gary are amazing at their jobs and made my stay superb. They go above and beyond to check in and make sure your stay is to satisfaction. I enjoyed the rooftop pool, great food and drinks, ate at the restaurant which was fantastic as well. Gym has great equipment for the size, however a bit on small side. All staff were great, except one, but Gary and Yesenia are lovely, and are why I gave 5 stars. Hope to be back very soon!
