Guest rating: 2.9 / 5

The Baltic Hotel is a 3-star hotel at 489 Baltic St in Brooklyn, positioned for easy access to both Brooklyn attractions and Lower Manhattan. It’s described as a relaxed property about a 10-minute walk from a subway station, roughly 2.8 km from the Brooklyn Bridge and about 4.1 km from One World Trade Center; ferries for the Statue of Liberty are around 5.0 km away. Rooms are styled in a chic, minimalist loft direction and include Wi‑Fi and flat-screen TVs, with street or city views. Upgraded rooms add terraces, and studios include a sitting area with a pull-out couch, which can be useful for guests who want extra space. Museums and parks within a few kilometers include the Brooklyn Museum (about 2.2 km) and Brooklyn Botanic Garden (about 2.4 km), while Midtown sights like Times Square are farther (about 8.4 km). Amenities beyond in-room basics are not documented in the available sources.

Best for

This hotel can suit value-focused travelers who prioritize a Brooklyn base with multiple transit options, including nearby Bergen St (F) and Hoyt–Schermerhorn (A/C) stations within about a 15-minute walk. It may also appeal to short-stay visitors who want straightforward rooms with Wi‑Fi, flat-screen TVs, and the option of studios with pull-out couches or upgraded terraces.

Travel tips

Plan to use nearby subways for most sightseeing: the F, A, and C lines (via Bergen St and Hoyt–Schermerhorn) are reachable on foot in roughly 15 minutes, and Atlantic Av LIRR is also about a 15-minute walk. Key sights are spread out—Downtown Manhattan landmarks like the 9/11 Memorial & Museum (about 4.0 km) are closer than Midtown destinations such as the Empire State Building (about 7.3 km) and The Museum of Modern Art (about 8.8 km). If you want outdoor space, consider booking an upgraded room with a terrace, as not all room types include one.
