Henry Norman Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a well-rated four-star base in residential Greenpoint with friendly staff, and you are fine travelling to reach Manhattan sights. On our reference dates it cost more than our Luxury pick, so compare prices for your own dates before deciding.

Travellers who like staying in a neighbourhood rather than a tourist zone are the natural fit. Guests describe a residential area near restaurants and shops, with views of the Manhattan skyline. The hotel scores 8.8 out of 10 from 2,184 reviews, joint first among the 10 hotels we compared.
Skip it if a big breakfast matters to you. The breakfast is continental, and guests call the selection basic, served on disposable plates.
It is also a poor match if you want to walk to the classic Manhattan sights. Every landmark in our data is more than 30 minutes away on foot.
Location and getting around
The address is 239 North Henry Street, in Greenpoint, and the location score is 8.5.
Distances to the sights in our data are long. The Williamsburg Bridge is about 2.8 km away, roughly 35 minutes on foot. The International Center of Photography is about 3.9 km, around 49 minutes, and the Manhattan Bridge about 4.5 km, roughly 56 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, and real routes will be longer.
Put plainly, it is far from these sights, so plan on public transport or a taxi for most sightseeing. Check the route and journey time from North Henry Street to the places you want to see before booking.
What guests say
Staff get warm reviews. Guests describe a friendly, attentive team that gives a warm welcome and helpful service.
The setting is the other big plus: a residential street close to places to eat and shop, with skyline views.
Breakfast is the weak point. It is a continental spread of bagels and pastries, the choice is basic, and it comes on disposable plates.
Price and how it compares with our other Brooklyn picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €361.65 per night, about €723 for both nights. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
That is above the sample median of €336.11. Here is the awkward part: our Luxury pick, Sela V Hotel, was cheaper on those dates at €273.36 a night, with the same 8.8 score and five stars. Our Budget pick, Pod Brooklyn, was €198.47 with a score of 8.6.
What this hotel offers is the Greenpoint setting, the praised staff and the listed gym, terrace, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. If those do not matter to you, the other two picks may suit you better at these prices.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 eligible hotels in Brooklyn. Our Best Value slot balances guest score, review count and reference price, and it is not always the cheapest option.
This hotel shares the top score in the sample with more than 2,100 reviews behind it, which carried it into the slot. Prices move, and on other dates the gap with our Luxury pick may close or reverse.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check whether breakfast is in your rate, and do not pay extra for it expecting a full buffet.
Ask about gym and terrace access in November, since opening times and fees are not confirmed. Then check today's price for your dates and compare it directly with Sela V Hotel and Pod Brooklyn.
