Exceptional

Charming and convenient

Liked: Beautiful and charming hotel in Harlem, very conveniently located near the La Guardia airport bus and two subway stations. The neighborhood is safe and has multiple convenience stores, theatres and restaurants. The room is large and has storage space, and a small basin.
Disliked: The room was a bit too cold to be fully comfortable and one would expect that the shared bathroom is cleaned everyday (although we were lucky we were alone for the first two days). The owner came to say hi on the second or third day (would have been nicer to see a face earlier).

Superb

Very good

Liked: A truly wonderful and unique hotel in Harlem New York for a very reasonable price.The famous Apollo theatre is just around the corner.The subway takes you straight to Downtown NY and JFK Airport.

The price it financially possible...

Liked: Two blocks away from the subway, a 15 min ride from central manhatten or a 15 min walk from central park. Nice big room with a sink. Quiet and peaceful. Little closetspace but very specious room. Very good for the price, would recommend.

Superb

Liked: The Harlem Flophouse is beautiful. Truly a worthwhile stay. I loved the living room area, with all its books and art. When I first entered the room there was jazz playing on the radio in the room. It all felt like being transported back in time.
Disliked: Unfortunately the room I stayed in was dusty, had some cob webs, and seemed as though it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned.

Pleasant

Liked: Charming, vintage and cozy atmosphere.
Disliked: Smelly dirty old pillows, mattress covers and carpet in the room. Staff couldn’t / wouldn’t resolve the issue. Musty towels, even after changing them on request. Old stained toilet seats. Work in progress in the ceiling of one room and toilet for the air conditioning conducts. Vintage is nice, old and dirty not.

A wonderful, memorable stay in...

Liked: The Harlem Flophouse is a true treasure trove, a time capsule to a beautiful past. I absolutely adored staying there. The rooms are so evocative of the speakeasy era it harkens to.Even in the heatwave that had New York City - and New Yorkers - sweltering when I stayed there, the beds were comfortable and the room maintained at the perfect temperature. As I said to my wonderful hosts upon my departure, I will be back!
