I wasn't sure what to expect but I have to say that the Henry Norman exceeded all of our expectations. Firstly, the room was massive – I'm not sure the photos do it justice – and the bed was one of the comfiest we've slept on. The staff were excellent and the hotel was only 5/10 minutes walk away from the subway, though greenpoint (specifically bagel point and the peter pan bakery) is a great area. My only very minor gripe would be the relatively small gym if that kind of thing bothers you (good for running, not much else) and that noise can come through the ceiling if you have guests above you. Would 100% recommend to anyone.
