Horrible dreadful experience. Stole money by charging my card for nights I've never stayed
P. S. You can forget about getting a refund so really think twice before booking this HOSTLE
When we arrived at the flophouse the first thing that hit us were shaky and loosely fitted doorknobs and wasting away front steps. The wood floods were so old and ill kept that we were afraid to take our shoes off and comply with the no shoes inside rule out of fear for getting splinters and debris in our feet. The poorly lit foryay made it hard to see where we put our feet and upon arriving the lights in the hallway upstairs were off and with no windows or doors open it was impossible to see your way up the stairs. Also, there was no staff there when we arrived, only the owners resident black cat and while we don't have any cat allergies what if someone did, they wouldn't know because there is no mention of a residental cat on the website. After going up two flights of dark, slanted, creaky steps we finally got to our hot third floor room. As soon as we walked in the room the heat and lack of modern basics hit us first. There was no A/C only two little fans, little decor, one rickety queen bed with dusty blankets, thread bare sheets, and flat pillows. The mirrors couldn't actually function as mirrors because they were so old the silver was gone from them and nothing in the room looked like it was purchased after the 70's. Dont get me started on the community bathroom on the third floor that because of lack of atenttive staff let the bathroom stay dingy and old. THERE WAS COMMUNITY BAR SOAP WITH A HAIR ON IT AND DIRT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CLAWFOOT TUB, so help you God if you use it you better close your eyes when using the bathroom. After a night there we booked it at the first sign of a open room somewhere else and never looked back. We will NEVER come back and do NOT recommend it as a place to say for anyone, ever, point blank period.
Charming guesthouse with large rooms, quiet sleeps. Good value. Near some sweet spots to eat and go out. Transit good to other areas.
The legendary Harlem Flophouse. World renowned for it's beauty and simplicity. Bare bones service keeps it inexpensive.
A great place to stay that's a bit cheaper than most alternatives in NYC. Location isn't bad at all either, since it's located very close to a well-connected metro (and a bus straight to and from LaGuardia), so it's a short walk to the station and that can take you anywhere you want. While there isn't 24hr concierge, you should be able to reach the manager by phone at any reasonable hour, and the staff were all very helpful (they give you a map of nearby places to eat, and where the metro stations are) and cool to talk to. The style and setup is fantastic, all very beautifully furnished, from the rooms to the lobby, and even the bathrooms, everything is VERY pleasant on the eyes, and very easy to relax in. Also, it's a pretty quiet neighborhood at night, so I slept quite easy every night. I had a very wonderful stay there!
