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!
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.
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.
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.
I’ve stayed at Kama Central Park again, and it was just as fantastic as before. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The room was spotlessly clean with excellent hygiene standards—especially the shower area, which felt fresh and well-maintained. It’s a great base for exploring New York, with easy subway access to major attractions. Comfortable, convenient, and well-priced—this hotel delivers on every front. I’ll definitely be returning here on my next trip to NYC!
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.
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 hotel's location isn't terrible, but the overall experience was far from satisfactory. There seemed to be only one or two staff members handling everything, leading to slow responses and minimal attention. Basic amenities like a microwave or fridge were missing—something you’d expect even in budget accommodations. I’ve stayed in places for just $30 that had better-made beds and much more attentive service. Plus, there are plenty of other options nearby—closer to attractions, restaurants, or transit hubs—that offer far better value. This place feels more like a trap for travelers wanting to feel special, but honestly? The price doesn’t justify the quality. Save your money and go elsewhere.
The Wallace Hotel is an absolute gem tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood of Midtown, yet it feels like you're right in the heart of everything. Step outside and you're greeted by Central Park on one side and the Hudson River on the other—perfect for morning walks or evening strolls with skyline views. Within a 5-minute walk, there are two well-stocked supermarkets, so grocery runs are super convenient. And if you're craving authentic flavors, you'll find some excellent local eateries nearby—authentic Xi'an dumplings and Shanghai-style steamed buns that are surprisingly delicious. The subway station is just steps away, making travel across Manhattan effortless. The staff are professional, friendly, and always ready to help. Most impressive? The bedding—luxuriously soft and incredibly comfortable, making for a truly restful night's sleep. This hotel delivers on every front: location, convenience, comfort, and service. A top-tier stay that’s hard to beat.
Hotel Lucerne is a charming, long-standing hotel with a classic American vibe that feels warm and welcoming. The rooms are spacious—especially the living area—which makes it ideal for families or anyone who values comfort. The breakfast is fantastic, consistently delicious, and it’s clear locals come here often—the place buzzes with energy every morning. Staff are genuinely friendly and attentive, and fellow guests seem equally kind and approachable. Location-wise, it's in a quiet residential neighborhood with everything you need within walking distance: grocery stores, cafes, and even a quick stroll to the Natural History Museum. Perfect for travelers with kids. The AC does make some noise, but after nearly three weeks in the U.S., I’ve heard worse—just turn it off at night and stay cool. One small note: the hairdryer is a bit outdated and not very powerful, so upgrading that would be a great touch. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. If I ever return to New York, I’ll definitely book here again. Highly recommend! 🌹
Absolutely stunning stay at Arthouse Hotel! The rooms are spacious and incredibly well-designed, with a bathroom that feels more like a luxury retreat than a standard hotel space. The on-site bar is a real highlight—great ambiance, excellent drinks, and a relaxed vibe perfect for unwinding after a day exploring NYC. Every detail feels intentional and thoughtfully curated. This place truly delivers on comfort, style, and hospitality. I’d happily return in a heartbeat.
Staying at Hotel Belleclaire Central Park again was a great experience. One tip for future guests: if possible, avoid rooms facing the wall—opting for a room with a view makes a noticeable difference in natural light and overall openness. The room itself is spacious and well-designed, though the bathroom is on the smaller side, it’s functional and clean. What stands out most is the incredible value for money. Located just steps away from Central Park, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring Manhattan. Whether you’re here for business or leisure, this hotel offers comfort, convenience, and excellent pricing—all in one. Definitely a top pick for anyone visiting New York.
