Juan from Ecuador (9/10)
Excellent location, a few blocks away from Metro station. The neighborhood is fairly quiet and beautiful. The room was super clean. Highly recommended if you want to stay in the Uptown.
Stéphane from France (8/10)
Spacious room in Harlem close to the subway. It was very clean with shared amenities.
Anthony from United States (9/10)
Great location it’s a 20-30min to everywhere and it looks exactly like the pictures
Virginia from Dominican Republic (8/10)
Very decent staff. The lodging, itself, was clean, comfortable and welcoming (Aura). We would have stayed longer but circumstances would not allow it.
Mariatu from United States (9/10)
I liked the property. It was clean and the woman, Maria, was very nice.
Colleen from United States (4/10)
The room was big, the biggest room I’ve ever booked in Manhattan I will say that. It was clean. It was also varied, very old. Sloped floors, there’s a bathroom down the hall but there’s no toilet paper in the bathroom, they give you the toilet paper in your room so the first time you visit the bathroom you’ll be in for a nasty surprise. The bathroom is absolutely tiny. I could rest my chin on the sink while I was sitting on the toilet. Yeah I get that you want me to put the good in the bad things in separate fields so that you can post a review on your website and it looks so good for you but I’m putting it all in one field, guys. And the neighborhood… Well it was my first time in Harlem. I will say that I would not have felt safe walking back to my hotel room if I were 20 years younger. This is not somewhere I will stay again.
Samtanis from United States (9/10)
Great location close to the Harlem Metro-North station. David is personable, professional, and helpful. The room was sparkling clean, quiet, and very comfortable—a great landing/launch pad for our overnight performing (me) & museum-going (my spouse) trip. I would definitely stay here again, and it would make a great home base for visiting local sites like the Jazz Museum.
Blauth from United States (9/10)
I loved that the check in was really easy, and that the staff was easy to talk to if any issue arose. I also loved the location and thought the advertisement was truthful and realistic.
Jorge1108 from Mexico (8/10)
La ubicación no esta mal, debido a que el bus te deja prácticamente al lado. Se encuentra a unos pocos minutos de Central Park, con una caminata, puede llegar. A pesar de estar retirado de lo turístico, no es mala zona.
Joana from France (8/10)
Nous avons passé une très bonne nuit dans la chambre, qui était spacieuse et confortable, conforme aux photos, bon emplacement et bon rapport qualité-prix. La dame gérant la chambre a été très sympathique et a accepté de garder notre valise la journée avant de devoir aller prendre l’avion
