Hotel Details

Location

Situated in a quiet, tree-lined street in Harlem, the property is a 6-minute walk from the 135th Street subway station.
The location offers a calm residential setting while being well-connected for city exploration. The 135th Street subway station provides direct lines to Times Square and Midtown. Columbia University is 3 km away, Yankee Stadium 3 km, and Central Park 5 km. LaGuardia Airport is 9 km from the property, requiring a taxi. Malcolm X Boulevard and 125th Street - with restaurants, shops, and a mall - are a short walk away. Nearby dining includes Jacob Restaurant and African American Best Foods, each within a 0.5 km walk. The area is a cultural hub, with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Strawberry Fields reachable by subway. The safest parts are well-lit main streets; for late-night arrivals, using the subway is straightforward.

Accommodation

Rooms are compact but practical, featuring air conditioning, parquet floors, a wardrobe, refrigerator, and a walk-in shower.
The guest house offers Single, Double, and Studio rooms. The Double Room and Single Room include a shared bathroom on the same floor, cleaned daily. The Studio has a private bathroom. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating, and quiet street views. The bathrooms are walk-in showers only; the toilet area is compact, which may challenge taller individuals. Noise travel between rooms is significant due to thin walls and floors. The decor is basic but functional. The rooms are best suited for solo travellers or couples needing an affordable base for daytime city exploration, rather than extended stays.

Dining

There is no on-site restaurant or bar, but each room includes a refrigerator and access to a dining table, microwave, and kitchenettes in common areas.
The property does not serve breakfast or provide cooked meals. For morning meals, guests can prepare simple food using the shared kitchen facilities - including a microwave and dining table - or take advantage of several nearby cafés and restaurants. Within a 0.5 km radius, there are options like Astor Row Cafe, Lenox Coffee Roaster, and Harlem Blues Cafe for coffee and snacks. For full meals, Jacob Restaurant and African American Best Foods are 0.5 km away. A supermarket is also within a short walk, allowing guests to stock the in-room refrigerator.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. Luggage storage is offered at an additional charge, and express check-in/out is included.
The property has a no-pets policy and is entirely non-smoking. Safety features include fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and key access. The private check-in process requires contacting the host via the booking app upon arrival, who will provide the key. Self check-in is available for late arrivals with prior notice. Express check-in/out is free. Luggage storage is available from 9 AM and is subject to an extra charge. There is no on-site parking, and no business or meeting facilities are present.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Arrive at 135th Street subway station for direct access to Times Square and Midtown.

  • 02

    Use the luggage storage from 9 AM if arriving before the 3 PM check-in time.

  • 03

    Request a quiet street-facing room and bring earplugs, as sound insulation between rooms is minimal.
