Renaissance New York Harlem Hotel

Staying at the Renaissance New York Harlem Hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The room size was just right—comfortable and well-proportioned, with a spacious bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The view from the upper floors is fantastic; you can see far into the city skyline, especially stunning during sunset hours. There are plenty of small shops nearby, so grabbing snacks, drinks, or essentials is super convenient. I enjoyed walking to Columbia University—about a 20-minute stroll through residential streets, which felt safe during daylight hours. That said, I did notice the neighborhood’s safety level is average, so I’d recommend being mindful when walking around late at night. All in all, it's a great choice if you're looking to immerse yourself in a real Harlem vibe without sacrificing comfort or convenience. The value for money is strong, and the hotel delivers on atmosphere and practicality.

Wingate by Wyndham Bronx/Haven Park

This hotel is an absolute gem! The subway station is just a short walk away, making it super convenient for getting around NYC. What really stands out is the complimentary sparkling water and ice-cold water—something you rarely find in other hotels in New York. The front desk even gives you a reusable bottle that you return upon checkout, and there’s a self-service water station on the first floor near the elevator—so practical and eco-friendly. The room layout is smart and thoughtfully designed, offering great comfort and functionality. Just two blocks away, there’s a small grocery store with fresh, affordable fruit—seems to be run by a Korean family, perfect for grabbing snacks or drinks. And if you’re into sports, Yankee Stadium is within easy reach. Overall, this place offers incredible value and a truly pleasant stay—highly recommend it!

Aloft Harlem

Staying at Aloft Harlem was an excellent experience overall. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a soft bed that made for a restful night's sleep. I loved the lively street view—great energy and vibrant city vibes right outside the window. The location is central and convenient, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and easy access to public transit for exploring Manhattan. The air conditioning worked incredibly well, keeping the room cool and comfortable even during warmer evenings. One minor note: the unit made a bit of noise when running, but it wasn’t disruptive. All in all, this hotel offers great value, modern design, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a stylish yet practical stay in Harlem.

Soul Food 'Mont Morris'

This is a guest house, not a hotel or Airbnb, so setting the right expectations from the start is key. There’s no front desk or lobby, and no external signage—access is via a door code, and you enter independently. That said, here’s what made our weekend stay at Soul Food Mont Morris memorable: The experience itself was unique—feeling like part of the local community with a cozy, authentic vibe. Rooms and bathrooms were spotless, beautifully styled with vintage charm. It’s super convenient for exploring Harlem—restaurants, grocery stores, and a CVS are just around the corner. The subway station is a 6-minute walk away, with downtown Manhattan reachable in about 25 minutes by train. However, keep a few things in mind: Communication was tricky two days before arrival—we tried the booking app and the phone number listed in the email, but couldn’t get through. Once on-site, everything ran smoothly, so if you’re used to contacting a host or calling a front desk, this isn’t the place for you. Also, if you’re planning to take a midday break and return to your room during hot weather (like we did during a heatwave), be aware that going back and forth throughout the day isn’t practical due to the distance. You’ll need to remove your shoes upon entering—the house provides slippers, so bring your own pair if possible. Accessing upper-floor rooms requires climbing a wooden staircase barefoot or in socks, which can be slippery, so slippers are essential. Overall, this isn’t for everyone. Don’t judge it by hotel standards—initial disappointment is common if you expect a traditional stay. But once you settle in, it grows on you. We stayed just one weekend, but honestly, we’d have loved to extend our visit to truly soak in Harlem’s rhythm and energy.

Northern Lights Mansion

My stay at Northern Lights Mansion was a mixed experience. The furniture looked like it came from a yard sale—mismatched and not cohesive in style. Extension cords and TV cables were loosely run and exposed throughout the room, which felt unsafe and unprofessional. The bathroom door wouldn’t stay shut, requiring constant adjustment during use. Unfortunately, the jetted tub I was looking forward to was out of service, which was disappointing. Breakfast was an additional charge, and while the food quality was decent, the extra cost made it feel less value for money. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and helpful, making the stay more pleasant on a personal level. Overall, the hotel has potential, but improvements in room upkeep, safety, and guest amenities would go a long way in boosting the experience.

The Marmara Manhattan

Staying at The Marmara Manhattan was an absolute delight. The hotel boasts a stylish vibe with generously sized rooms that feel both luxurious and welcoming. Its central location in Midtown West makes it incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the subway—yet it’s tucked into a surprisingly quiet corner of the city, perfect for unwinding after a busy day exploring. The staff went above and beyond: from handling booking changes to offering thoughtful recommendations for restaurants nearby. Eleonor, the Rooms Manager, stood out with her professionalism and warmth; Flloyd and Cassandra were equally impressive, always ready to assist with a smile. The beds were heavenly—truly a dream to sleep on. After long days walking through rainy New York streets, the Turkish baths were exactly what we needed to relax and recharge. Every detail felt intentional, from the ambiance to the service. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay—highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting NYC.

The Park Ave North

Staying at The Park Ave North was a fantastic experience overall. The room was quiet, clean, and well-maintained—perfect for a relaxing getaway. I especially appreciated the kettle, which made it easy to brew tea or coffee during my stay. As this is an apartment-style hotel, front desk service is limited to specific hours, so it's important to plan accordingly. If you arrive outside of those hours, you’ll need to call ahead to coordinate check-in, which worked smoothly but could be tricky if there’s a language barrier. That said, the value for money is outstanding—great space, modern amenities, and a convenient location near subway access makes it ideal for travelers looking for comfort without overspending. Highly recommend for both short stays and longer visits.

The Central Park North

My stay at The Central Park North was absolutely excellent. The hotel is spotlessly clean and perfectly located—just a short walk from two subway stations, making it incredibly convenient for getting around the city day or night. I appreciated how quiet and safe the neighborhood felt, even during late-night arrivals or departures. One standout feature was being able to leave my luggage at the front desk before check-in time with no extra charge—such a helpful touch for travelers with early flights or tight schedules. Everything about this place felt thoughtfully designed for comfort and ease. Highly recommend this gem in NYC.

The Gallery House

Staying at The Gallery House was an absolute delight from start to finish. The apartment is beautifully designed with a unique artistic flair—African masks and sculptures are thoughtfully placed throughout, giving the space a truly one-of-a-kind vibe. We were six people, and despite that, there was plenty of room and comfort. The large main bathroom plus a convenient smaller service bathroom made daily life so much easier—something rare in New York! Our host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Best of all, it’s less than 200 meters from the subway station, putting every major attraction just a short ride away. Whether you’re exploring Manhattan or just relaxing in style, this place offers the perfect balance of charm, convenience, and comfort. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat—highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic, memorable NYC experience.

Upper East Suites

This place is nowhere near what you'd expect from a 'suite'—in fact, it's just a private studio apartment rented out like an Airbnb. The cleanliness level? Zero. We walked in to find a dirty sock sitting on the radiator. The shower curtain was stained and torn, there was no soap for washing, and we used the same towel all week. That infamous radiator makes a loud, grinding noise every morning from 6:50 to 7:40—like a steam engine running nonstop. The chair was broken, and the sofa smelled musty with visible signs of dust mites. To make matters worse, there were no bed sheets or duvet covers provided—we had to ask for them and even install everything ourselves. This isn’t how a suite should be. Located on the ground floor, the only view through the heavily taped windows was a pile of garbage bins. If you're not being paid to stay here, RUN. Seriously, avoid this at all costs.

Ramada by Wyndham Bronx Terminal

The hotel is located conveniently close to the train station, making it a practical option if you're just passing through for a quick Yankees game. However, the property feels outdated and hasn't seen any major updates in years. The carpets are noticeably dirty and stained, which detracts from the overall cleanliness. There aren't many amenities within walking distance—most things require a short ride or a drive. While the staff was polite and helpful, the lack of modern facilities and the worn-out condition of the rooms make it hard to recommend for anything beyond a last-minute overnight stay. It’s not worth staying here again unless you’re specifically heading to the ballpark.

110th Boutique Hotel

Location is absolutely key here—this isn’t a hotel, it’s an apartment, so managing expectations is important. The place is just steps away from the subway line 6, which runs straight into downtown Manhattan. For only $34 per week, you can skip taxis and rideshares entirely—you’ll be anywhere in the city within 30 minutes. The neighborhood feels a bit rough around the edges but isn’t unsafe. There’s a large grocery store within a 2-minute walk, and next door is a bakery that charges way more than it should. The unit needs some updates—especially the beds (not just mattresses), and the bathroom could really use a refresh. It wasn’t dirty, but after checking our socks, I’d say cleanliness was just average. We did have one night without hot water or heat, but it wasn’t due to the host—the issue was resolved by morning. Check-in is a bit tricky since there’s no front desk; you need to call or text multiple numbers, which might add up if you’re calling from outside the US. Still, overall, we were happy with our stay. For this price point in NYC—especially with Airbnb restrictions—it’s hard to find a better option. Just don’t expect a traditional hotel experience. If you’re looking for affordability, convenience, and a real local feel, this works well.
