The Harlem Flophouse

The best place in the world, recommend everyone!

Pros: Amazing host! Beautiful place, nothing to complaint about!

Cons: I was only missing a kettle to drink a cup of tea :)

Pros: I had an amazing stay at this beautiful, authentic Harlem townhouse. On weekends, the ground floor transforms into a cozy jazz club, which makes the experience truly unique. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, and the owner is extremely kind and welcoming. Honestly, I hope to come back soon and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting New York. Best value for money in the city!

Very authentic stay in Harlem with great staff

Pros: I didn’t really like the bedsheets, they were a bit smelly but for the price I won’t complain

Charming and convenient

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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).

Pros: 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 to travel to NYC, better than expected. Would go back.

Pros: 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.

Cons: /

An excellent house and location that instantly transports into the rhythms and romance of Harlem.

Pros: Harlem Flophouse is the perfect location from which to explore the life and history of this unique New York neighbourhood. The building has been intelligently and sensitively restored by Rene Calvo, our helpful and friendly host. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable with fittings and decor that helped to create a rich ambience.

Pros: This was a magical place to stay. It has been beautifully renovated, the rooms are huge and have their own sinks which is fantastic when sharing a bathroom. There is a bathroom on both floors so you only have to share with one or two other rooms, and the bathroom itself is old fashioned but beautiful, the shower has great pressure. It's a bare bones service and when you're spending all day out and only really sleeping here it's perfect. There's a subway station a very short walk away so great access to the rest of Manhattan and doesn't take long. Walking distance to Central Park too!

Staying here is a full experience!

Pros: It was like a time capsule and felt very homey! Everything was clean, comfortable and I felt very safe throughout my stay.

Pros: A beautifully preserved property with lots of character and a friendly host. Really well located for travelling around NYC and exploring the city.

Cons: Nothing.
