The Spotlight on NU Hotel

Stylish, Urban Comfort in the Heart of Brooklyn

NU Hotel brings a cool, modern vibe to Brooklyn’s BoCoCa neighborhood. Just steps from the subway and less than a mile from major venues like Barclays Center, this boutique hotel blends minimalist design with local flair. With free WiFi, a 24-hour gym, and sleek rooms featuring 32-inch flat-screen TVs and satellite music systems, it’s a smart and stylish base for concert-goers exploring NYC.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key, and NU Hotel delivers — it’s within walking distance of Barclays Center and just 1585 feet from the nearest subway station, making late-night rides back from Manhattan venues a breeze. The hotel’s flexible check-out time of 12:00 PM is perfect for sleeping in after a long night, and the 24-hour gym is ideal for early risers or post-show workouts. While the hotel is in a lively neighborhood, guests report rooms are quiet enough for a solid night’s rest.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a sleek, central spot with easy venue access
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime performance
  • Couples planning a weekend of music and Brooklyn vibes
  • Fans needing a quieter recovery space after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without sacrificing style

Food and Drink Options

The NU Bar serves a daily continental breakfast — a lifesaver after a late night. In the evening, it switches to a tapas menu and full-service bar, perfect for pre-show snacks or nightcaps. While there’s no official 24/7 room service, the neighborhood is packed with walkable dining options, from pizza joints to trendy bistros open late.

Nightlife Options

While NU Hotel doesn’t host live music on-site, it's surrounded by Brooklyn nightlife. Bars, lounges, and live music spots are all within walking distance. The in-house bar is cozy and casual, often featuring local craft drinks — ideal for winding down after a show.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s clean, spacious rooms, stylish décor, and excellent location. Travelers frequently mention the friendly, helpful staff and how easy it is to get around the city from here. Free bike rentals are a hit with those wanting to explore Brooklyn during the day.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors note that the continental breakfast is light and may not suit those looking for a hot meal. A few reviewers mentioned street noise in rooms facing Smith Street, so light sleepers might prefer interior rooms.

The Bottom Line

NU Hotel is a stylish, well-located Brooklyn stay that makes concert nights easy, fun, and comfortable for music fans of all kinds.

Could be better

Liked: Central to restaurants and metro and the rooms were clean. Half the staff was nice, other half were not bothered.
Disliked: The beds were small, room was warm, a lot of noise of the street and construction. Breakfast was average.
