ABOUT US
We at the Crown Brownstone (The CB for short) believe in creating a "home away from home" experience for all travelers both domestic and international. Whereas most hostels focus on highlighting the all-too-typical Manhattan tourist traps, we pride ourselves on being located in CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN, and the true heart of New York City.

Crown Brownstone consists of TWO buildings a short distance from each other. The buildings are called Crown Brownstone and Kingston Crown. You receive Free internet, kitchen facilities, common lounges, 5 blocks to the subway, and more! 4-person bunk beds starting at just $30 per night. We have One Private 4-person 2-bedroom suites for $140 per night. We have Four 2-room suites at $125 per night. Please note that each 2-room suite has it's own living room and shares a kitchen and bathroom with one other 2-room suite. No more than two suites share a kitchen and bathroom. The 2-room suite can be combined into a full floor 4 room suite with it's own kitchen and bathroom. Please request this option when making your booking.

If you are into urban culture, hip-hop, reggae, dancehall or just looking to check out the latest in street fashion, come chill with us. You will not regret it.

"But ultimately it’s because Brooklyn has become a place where young, college educated people wanted to live bohemian lives – and that only took hold in the late ‘90s. Because of that, there is this possibility of being able to live in New York City and being able to afford it without having to hold the most serious day job in the world. Which cannot be said about Manhattan anymore." - TODD PATRICK, New York City Concert Promoter
