3B is a fun eclectic mix. Great B&B for meeting people at breakfast. Adam was extra nice and helpful. We had a big room with two queen beds...fun decor with retro bits and pieces...artwork and indoor (healthy) plants...comfortable bed...slightly swarm as air-conditioner not that powerful but you can open the windows. Shared bathroom and toilet fine. Very laid back. No... More

I stayed at 3B for a week in March and it was the best accommodation decision I've ever made. The property is LOVELY - so clean, comfortable and homey. It's around the corner from the subway and it's incredibly easy to get anywhere that you want to go. All of the staff are just beautiful people - I can't even... More

I read about 3B in a travel magazine. We stayed two nights, but wished we could have stayed longer. The owners live on the 2nd floor and the guest rooms are on the 3rd floor. The two owners that we met were very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the bunk bed room, which worked well for us. The first... More

3B is an awesome collection of individuals and efforts that allow the wearied traveller to feel very comfortable. I have stayed at 3B on two occasions and felt right at home. The Matt and his merry team are switched on people that know how to keep it homely. There are five rooms (if I am not mistaken) - one double... More

I stayed at 3B for 4 nights in the front double room and was very pleased with the experience. The staff, which quite extensive, is welcoming, warm and friendly. From warm fritattas to homemade rice pudding with fresh fruit to homemade sourdough bread, the breakfasts were outstanding. And when I admitted one morning that I don't eat mushrooms, Allison made...

I have to admit, I was semi put-off by the shared bathroom idea before it happened, I'm not used to that and images conjured of dirty/hairy/untidy issues started. Both bathrooms in this 4 room B&B are continuously immaculate and it isn't often that all four rooms are occupied or in at the same time anyway. In fact, I came to... More

This B&B is a quirky little place run by a friendly bunch of people. The rooms and common areas are creatively and comfortably furnished. Everything is very clean. The beds are comfy. Breakfast is amazing. There is wireless included and a Mac that is available for guests' use in the living area. The only problem we had was that there... More

We found 3B Bed & Breakfast via a review in New York magazine, and booked our week-long stay as it sounded like a great concept, looked good, was within our budget, and New York magazine is generally a pretty discerning guide. We had such a great stay. Our room was large and attractive, the bathrooms were clean, the dining area... More

This is a characteristic B&B in downtown Brooklyn with excellent connections to the subway system. The B&B is clean and the people who run it very friendly and helpful. What I really liked is that the B&B is small and makes it possible to meet the other guests. Great conversations while having a homecooked breakfast.

I stayed in the 3B B&B in August 2011 for 9 nights in the bunk room. Right from the beginning on i had a good feel, since all the rooms and the interior are very warm and welcoming and very unique. It´s definitely not a common B&B place, it´s like staying in your own home. I really enjoyed the creativity... More
