Berchtesgaden Alps Kid friendly Vacations

This was our second stay at this property. Great location and reasonable price. This visit we encountered multiple problems. Most of the electric outlets did not work and our safe was broken. The front desk promised to address them. No one showed up..crickets from the staff. If you don’t mind charging your phones, et al in weird places and if you don’t mind carrying your valuables with you all day…this is the place for you. Our last night, our room 205 was over looking the dumpsters, so we had to listen to 30 minutes of banging at 1 am. I wouldn’t recommend this room. Miserable.

As a native New Yorker now living out of state, I was genuinely excited to try Sela V and experience a fresh addition to Brooklyn’s hotel scene. The property itself is stunning, thoughtfully designed, visually striking, and full of character. Many of the shared spaces made me feel like I was relaxing in a stylish studio loft rather than a traditional hotel, which I loved. That said, this stay is best suited for travelers who are flexible and already familiar with getting around the city. The immediate area doesn’t offer much in terms of attractions or walkable activities, so first‑time visitors may find it limiting. Service was the biggest miss. For a new Brooklyn hotel with such a beautiful and unique aesthetic, I expected a warmer, more welcoming staff experience. The bar and food options also weren’t clearly advertised, and it was often hard to tell whether they were open at all. The café space was pleasant but very limited. The room design is gorgeous, but a few functional details fell short, lighting, additional storage but particularly the shower setup. With no vent and full glass panels, the bathroom floor stayed wet, which isn’t ideal. Overall, Sela V is visually breathtaking and full of potential, but the service and surrounding neighborhood still need time to catch up to the design. I’d return for the aesthetic alone, but only with adjusted expectations.

Staff were all really friendly and place and location was perfect.

Location was great, room was clean, breakfast staff were wonderful.

Good sized room especially for NY hotel rooms. The rooms and bathrooms were decent. The property is a little dated. The city view rooms we got were underwhelming views , our stays in other hotels in the area had more prominent views of the city. The staff and overall vibe wasn’t as high end as we had hoped.

Excellent from start to finish. Like always.

There a lot of noise in the hallway.

There were 16 of us in our group. I was unhappy with the hotel reception staff; the receptionist who attended to us wasn't very polite and didn't smile once while we were waiting to check in. After a long journey, we arrived hoping for a relaxing stay, yet we didn't receive the kind of welcome my friend had described. It will likely be a long time before we return.
