The Harlem Flophouse

The entire house it's beautiful. Well cared for and organized. Everything was fine.

Great location close to a subway station for easy access to downtown Nothing - exactly as expected and very enjoyable stay.

Great location on a classic Harlem street. Nothing to report.

The harlem flophouse was exactly as advertised, authentic rustic and beautiful, arrived to a beautiful set up room, greeted by the radio playing and the sound of bluejays in the back garden, it was an amazing experience and so well situated for travel throughout the city, a 5 minute walk to 125th street subway station and a 10 minute ride to times square and beyond. 10/10 experience and would happily stay here again.

I loved the whole sultry jazz vibe: ambient music plus period woodwork, porcelain, wallpaper, and decor. It felt so much like time travel that I opened the window the first night instead of looking for the air conditioner control. The room was huge and still has all of the boarding room amenities, prompting me to imagine myself as a very comfortable long term guest back in the day. The water temperature controls were finicky but the water pressure was awesome.

Superb

It is a unique place - with art/furniture/fixtures to evoke a specific era. It is inviting. I also loved that Rene hosts jazz nights downstairs. We saw an incredible singer and pianist duo. It was such a treat. Well worth the ticket. I did not dislike anything.

Amazing host! Beautiful place, nothing to complaint about! I was only missing a kettle to drink a cup of tea :)

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!

I understand this establishment has been a hotel since 1917. Rene, the current proprietor, was gracious. The place is filled with deep connection to the neighborhood and a jazzy vibe that is soulful and real. It seems that there are jazz concerts in the living room from time to time. Sorry I missed this! I'm coming back.

The authenticity of the property, the quiet and relaxed atmosphere, and the gorgeous time period rooms. Check in was easy and access to the property was smooth.

Wonderful character, and chance to experience old world Harlem. Live Jazz is very special. Perhaps the bed and bedding, although in keeping with old styles, could have been modernised for comfort.

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

Exceptional
