Guests who’ve stayed at 4th Avenue’s pricey Hotel Le Bleu during its first month of operation have started posting about their experiences on Trip Advisor, and their ratings, as Pardon Me For Asking notes, are all over the map. The three reviews on the travel site give the hotel a 3, 4 and 5 (with 5 being the highest possible rating). One guest was totally blown away. The hotel is 15 minutes by R train from Wall St., and the rooms were every bit as visually pleasing and clean as a W. Another, however, was a little less satisfied: I think it is trying to be super hip and urban chic, too much in my opinion…the staff at check-in was a disaster. They are very far from being as polished as the hotel would like to bill itself. Still, not a bad batch of reviews for a property that some have dubbed Hotel Le Doom. Le Bleu’s website currently shows rates starting at $270 a night.

  1. am staying there now – so far so bad – rooms are good, but everything else is not. same price as the rivington, awful reception service, like being berated by a mid-west motel clerk, NO bar/restaurant, despite glossy pics on website, NO room service (!), great view of a u-haul yard, geez, if this is what passes for boutique hotels in NY this place is in big trouble – doubt it will get word of mouth if it goes on like this and it needs it in this location. Am stuck here for two days, so will update.

  2. 5:11. The hotel is sitting in dogshit because that’s they way it is with these Brooklyn brownstone neighborhoods. They are islands of sanctuary immediately surrounded by crap.

    As others have pointed out on this thread, this location that everybody hates so much is practically within snowball-throwing distance to prime Park Slope.

  3. Mr Nipper,
    10:48 here, you sure are a witty one. I was not ‘protecting the tourists’ (why that is strange to you I can’t really figure out) if you think that means I am not a native-Brooklynite guess again. Born and raised here. I just know that this photo above is sure as hell not on their promotional material. Come on buddy, look at the picture. It’s like a diamond ring placed on a bed of dog sh*t. Tell me honestly, would you stay there for that kind of money? Oh, and yeah, telling others to ‘nip it’ that’s really comical. Who died and made you “The Nipper”?

    p.s. I like what brenda said.

  4. viva Le Bleu. The taxi stand makes this hotel a great launch pad to see the rest of new york.
    build it and they will come.
    price it high and they will think it is worth it.
    There is a market for rooms near brownstone Brooklyn.

  5. The nipster is in the Hugo Chavez school of promoting free discussion. All who do not agree with him are unpatriotic losers. I think the nipster is off his meds and I think he is the only one writing positive blogs about his eyesore rip-off hotel in one of the ugliest parts of the Boro.

    Sounds more like the Dick Cheney school
