When my husband heard the name of the place where I would be staying in NYC, he was a little skeptical. However, all was well. The room was very nice, and the bed wonderful. Lighting for reading was acceptable. The memorable thing about the Flophouse was how quiet it was, inside and outside. I slept with the window open and... More

I loved the ecclectic atmosphere, the assortment of antiques, the Brownstone neighborhood. It is a quick and easy walk to the subway. The room was comfortable enough, and the overall experience was interesting. BUT, this is a "B no B", rather than a B & B. Don't expect to see the owner once you have checked in. He appears to...

Stayed 3 nights at the Harlem flop house and we were on the whole very impressed. The flop house was cozy and had a relaxed atmosphere with jazz playing at low level in the rooms. The bedroom was big, nicely decorated and comfortable. One downside was that the bath on our floor was very small, especially for someone my height... More

Overall we enjoyed staying at the Harlem Flophouse. Rene, the owner, has done an amazing job restoring the house, resulting in a quirky, truly unique place to stay where some of the glamour of New York's Jazz Age has been captured. We were warned off staying in Harlem by friends, but having lived in London and Leeds we're used to... More

My friend & I stayed at The Harlem Flophouse the night of New Year's Eve 2012. We just needed a place to crash for a few hours. We had to pay for 2 nights, but this was still cheaper at the last minute than one night anywhere else. We loved it! The bathrooms were squeaky clean. It felt safe and... More

I stayed at the Harlem Flouphose for 2 nights at the early December - and enjoyed every minute of it! My room was enourmous and comfortable, everything very clean and the bed great! Traveling a female alone, I still felt quite safe to came back alone at 10-11pm (from the subway sation). The location is great - two subways stations... More

We just spent 5 nights at the Harlem Flophouse. It is a very beautiful home and I was glad we decided to stay. However, it is not really a bed and breakfast. It reminds me of a upscale lodging house or hostle. The bed and bathroom are very clean. The bed mattress is uncomfortable, but I am use to my... More

We had a wonderful time staying in the Harlem Flophouse. We traveled in a group of 8 and got the whole house to ourselves. The beds were very comfortable and the shower very nice! We could recommend this beautiful house to anyone coming to NYC and wanting to stay in en unique place! Thank u Rene!

this place is a great example of living history. it is a beautifully restored period town house. no air conditions (fan seemed fine to me) and no tv. like walking into the past. even the digital radio in the room was a vintage looking model. very comfortable bed. safe neighbourhood. definitely a real gem. i stayed here for three nights...
