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.

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.

Absolutely loved my stay at LIC Hotel! The location is perfect—just a short subway ride from downtown Manhattan. The staff were incredibly friendly and the rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained. I stayed for a full week, and while the breakfast menu was consistent throughout, it was still delicious and satisfying. One small suggestion: adding a fresh tomato and cheese salad to the breakfast spread would make it even better. Overall, this hotel offers fantastic value for money and a truly comfortable experience. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting NYC.

The Box House Hotel exceeded my expectations in nearly every way—except for the front desk staff, who could have been a bit more welcoming. Everything else was top-notch.

I especially appreciated the well-lit bathroom with strong shower pressure and smart storage solutions. Even though the check-in experience wasn’t as warm as I’d hoped, the overall quality of the hotel, the attention to detail, and the value for money made up for it completely. I’d definitely book here again when visiting New York.
