I stayed at this hotel two nights on jan 25 and jan 26 during a business trip to brooklyn.

Though it was positively recommended by a couple of co workers that previously stayed there I was still pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff, the well appointed and, yes, blue, rooms, and the value especially when compared to the cost of a manhattan location.

Hotel is in an uninspiring area, but it is a short and safe walk to multiple interesting places to eat and also the subway to take you into manhattan (though I didn't go) or elsewhere in brooklyn. Hotel gives you a free contintental breakfast delivered to your room.

Though I was there for business, I think this would be a perfect location for exploring on a pleasure trip. I didn't notice much parking on site but I'm thinking in brooklyn in all events it's better to leave the driving to someone else.

I will come back on my next business trip, and hopefully by that time the hotel restaurant will be open after its renovations!

Lovely hotel, staff were really helpful. Really modern hotel, everything you could need...ipod dock, plasma tv, minibar etc. We received complimentary breakfast (bagels, croissant etc) in the room every morning. Short walk to the subway 20mins to Manhatten, short walk to lovely restaurants and bars although if you don't know the area it doesn't look immediately that lively... go across to 5th avenue! Would definitely recommend to everyone looking for competitive priced accommodation but don't want to compromise on style/comfort.

Nice hotel run by a pack of thieves. When you reserve a room online, you are naturally permitted to use a debit card with a a major credit card symbol on it...you know, like you would anywhere. Naturally they charge you the price of the room as your reservation date approaches. When you check in, however, they tell you that you can't use THE SAME CARD THEY CHARGED FOR YOUR ROOM to be used as your "security payment" (ie for the honor bar, room damages, etc). They then say since it's within 48 hours of your reserved date, THEY WON'T REFUND YOUR MONEY. After kissing enough butt, I managed to convince them to let me stay for the room I already paid for, but only after they put a 250 dollar hold on my Credit Card endorsed debit card. They treated me like a classless idiot, claiming I was stupid for not understanding the policy which isn't clearly defined or appropriately placed. DO NOT STAY HERE.

The Hotel Le Bleu in Brooklyn is charming and a good value. The staff are personable and helpful. The room was like new with stylish accommodations. I didn't venture out into the neighborhood so can't comment on the immediate locale. The hotel restaurant is being renovated so an on-site restaurant was not available. Room service for breakfast was a pleasant amenity.
