Staten Island bed & breakfasts

Pros: The walk to the bus stop is very short. The bus takes you to the Staten Island Ferry, which drops off in downtown Manhattan. It’s a very easy location to get to and to get back to. We used an app called MoovIt to help us figure out when we got to our stop.

Pros: Food excellent, ambience relaxing, everything positive,very accommodating !

Pros: The host was very nice, she told us stories of her and the house. We are served breakfast in the morning by herself as in we staying in our grandmom house, feel homey. Nice breakfast and delicious one. I wish to stay longer to stay that morning and just laylow enjoying the victorian house. But we cant.

Cons: Outdoor lighting

Pros: Fabulous hostess - great lady!

Pros: Very welcoming host. Quirky antique style which was very comfortable. Lovely breakfast.

Pros: Hospitaliy, great style interior, great bed and porch, bathroom, quality in all details. And the breakfast of course as mentioned by others, all kinds of fresh fruit, bread...super

Cons: Staten island it self is not much to do. we made a walk to nag harbor, not worthy, lot of airpolution along the way. At nite we took the free ferry to manhattan, which was great ferry trip: new york skyline with lights!

Cons: We reserved the only ground floor room 4 months in advance. When we got there we were told we had the third floor room because he gave our room away. Totally unacceptable. I have difficulty walking since ankle surgery this spring so stairs are not for me. Climbing two flights of spiral stairs with my cane and bag was not a good combination. The pitiful window air conditioner did not help cool the room very much and you couldn’t close the blinds/shutters because then you would cover up the a/c unit so everyone down the street could look in the room. Bathroom had mold and mildew in the tub and in the shower curtain. Used soap was left on the sink. It was a terrible disappointment!! I would not recommend to anyone and if this was a chain would have demanded my money back. Will not book with booking.com again as this experience was horrible.

Cons: So in the 3rd night my wife found a rat or mouse (we don't know the difference) in the room. Was big and fast enough to scare her and checkout in the middle of the night. Hotel response was, you must have imagined it. Before that, at first day she didn't find a bathroom in the room. The private bathroom they advertise is in the hallway. When she mentioned it, thier response was the opposite room is not occupied, so you can consider it private. To add to that, even after booking.com intervention. No solutions or compensation were offered. Except of refund of the 2 unused nights. One interrupted and one still in the future.

Pros: Convenient location close to St. George transit for Manhattan. Host was polite. Breakfast was tea/coffee, a baked loaf of (sourdough?) bread w/ butter, cream cheese and jam, a banana, a little mandarin/clementine orange (see other notes for negative).

Cons: Bad insulation (old wooden structure). Host could have mitigated this by opening some windows to allow outside air circulation to ventilate prior to my arrival (we'd spoken on phone already discussing my approach). Room had only been partially "spot-cleaned" - leftover clumps of dust "bunnies" on the floor, and the fabric under the nightstand lamps hadn't been changed b/c there were leftover hairs from previous guests. Tight narrow spiral staircase difficult for carrying suitcase (that isn't the host's fault since he didn't build the house, but had I known in advance WHY the price was so cheap, I would have given preference to alternate lodging options). Even at midnight standing in underwear brushing my teeth, the remnant heat leftover from earlier day was still radiating from the ceiling/walls causing relentless sweat. I had to turn the bedroom's little air-conditioning unit on full blast with 2nd help from a plug-in rotating fan to cool the air enough to sleep. Breakfast included a Costco "Kirkland" chewy granola bar and zero protein options. I appreciated that this B&B offers bargain pricing but then discovered why and how = it's cheap because of corner-cutting that might seem tacky to others.

Pros: Great location 10-minute walk to Staten Island ferry, and near small stores and laundry. Fun, diverse neighborhood. Room was spacious and comfortable, with nice chairs. Continental breakfast in nook was fine. Host was friendly and accommodating.

Cons: Parking seemed to be a matter of luck, but it worked for our visit. Toilet paper and soap were extreme basic.

Pros: Beautiful, large, clean room. Excellent location for Staten Island ferry and St. George theater.

Cons: A little street noise, but that's New York.

Pros: The room had an amazing view toward the Verrazano bridge. Old house, creaky floors and stairs. Wonderful. Location was terrific, just a few blocks, or easy bus ride to the ferry. What a way to start the day crossing upper New York Bay.

Cons: Two unfixable. The room was up two flights of stairs (so you have to plan to load anything you will need into your pockets before heading down). The few blocks are STEEP hills (so take the S52 or S42 bus, a free transfer if you got to the New York end of the ferry on the subway).
