Rooms and Lofts

Franklin Guesthouse provides 30 suites for up to four guests. Suites include 13-foot-high original timber and tin-plated ceilings, hardwood floors, and commissioned contemporary art. Rooms feature a 43-inch television, locally sourced mini-bar, high-speed Wi-Fi, and coffee and tea. Some suites have a sitting area, a full kitchen, or an outdoor space. Lower-level rooms would benefit from more natural light and better soundproofing. Each guest room has climate control, a work desk, and a flat-screen cable TV.

Onsite Dining

MADRE is the hotel's on-premise restaurant, open Wednesday through Sunday for dinner, with brunch to follow. The restaurant features exposed brick, marble counters, brass accessories, and mineral-textured walls. Marble and live wood tables furnish the space. MADRE's menu offers seasonal plates with fresh ingredients. BarGlory's menu features fusion cuisine, including lamb dumplings with pistachio pesto and pumpkin dumplings with ricotta.

Leisure and Facilities

The hotel has a gym with a sauna and steam shower. The homeliness is enhanced by Mid-century Modern furniture, a throw blanket on the sofa, and vintage cameras. You are within a two-minute walk of the Greenpoint Avenue G train station and the East River Ferry.

Location in Greenpoint

Franklin Guesthouse is in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, near the Greenpoint Avenue G train station and the East River Ferry. The hotel is a 20-minute ferry ride to Midtown Manhattan from the India St/Greenpoint terminal. Landmarks nearby include the United Nations Headquarters (2 km), McCarren Park Pool (2 km), and St. Patrick's Cathedral (3 km). You can take the G train from Greenpoint Ave subway station. Bakeri is around the corner.

Hotel Services

Check-in is after 3:00 pm, and check-out is before 11:00 am. The hotel provides a complimentary car service operating within a one-mile radius. The hotel also offers a business center. Cleaning and disinfecting of the room key card happen with every check-in.

“Franklin Guesthouse aims for a boutique experience in Brooklyn, but some guests have reported noise issues and inconsistent service that overshadow the stylish aesthetic. Apartment-style suites with kitchen facilities and a complimentary car service are definite advantages. However, reports of thin walls and unprofessional staff interactions give me pause; travelers should weigh these potential downsides against the attractive amenities and location near Greenpoint's cultural spots.”
