Just a few minutes away by subway to Downtown, West Village, and all the other touristy places while you get to enjoy an enormous room with a view of actual live trees! The bed is terrific and the neighborhood is full of delightful restaurants and bars like Enoteca Harlem and Angel of Harlem. Rene is a delightful host and you'll get the experience of a lifetime staying in a piece of history! We stayed on the 3rd floor which I recommend, it is quiet and worth the walk up the stairs.

We arrived at The Harlem Flophouse on a Wednesday, our 15th wedding anniversary. The exterior and…read moreinterior of the brownstone was charming. There was major construction work being done next door but this was explained to us when we made the reservation and work stopped early enough in the afternoon to be an issue. Our room was spacious and quiet with antiques and a beautiful 4 poster bed. There were trees outside of our large windows and jazz playing on the radio. Although we knew that there was only one bathroom to be shared on our floor when we made our reservations, there was no problem with availability and we had a sink in our room. The shower was antique so water pressure was as strong as expected for fixtures that old. The only issue we had was the smell and scratchiness of the towels and wash cloths. It was almost as if they hadn't been washed between guests. The soaps seemed old and were pretty used up.

Location is great…read more This is called a boutique hotel but felt more like a hostel. Went out late night to get something to eat and couldn't get back in. There is only a ring camera so I had to wait for someone to answer the door. So no key to the lobby. The room needs a good cleaning. The room is nice but there are hairs everywhere. Hairs are embedded in the towels, they're on the floor, in the shower, & in the bed. Price seems fair - if clean ~$150 for the night. I travel with my own sleeping bag & will again use my own towel. Being a pair of sandals or slides to walk around the room.

I recently stayed at the Radio Hotel for 22 nights while traveling for work. The hotel has a…read moremodern, colorful design. Everything was clean, well maintained, and the rooms were comfortable. This is also a great option if you're looking to save money while visiting New York City. Both the bus and the train are within about a five-minute walk, making it easy to get into Manhattan without paying Manhattan hotel prices. One perk I really enjoyed was that the hotel gives you a card for a complimentary drink each day, which you can redeem at the front desk or at the restaurant downstairs. Almost every morning I grabbed a coffee before heading to work. I want to give a special shoutout to the staff. I hope I'm spelling their names correctly Larry, Nabras, and Nicky. They truly made my 22-night stay feel like home. They were always friendly, welcoming, and willing to help with anything I needed. Employees like them are what turn a good stay into a great one. My only suggestion would be to add a dresser or more shelving in the rooms. During a longer stay, it would have been nice to unpack and organize my clothes instead of living out of a suitcase. The only real downside for me was the noise. As a 50-year-old traveling for work, getting a good night's sleep is important. I could hear people in the neighboring rooms, guests walking above me, and music from events on the patio. My room was on the 4th floor facing the outside, so it's possible a higher floor or a room on the opposite side would have been quieter. If you're a light sleeper and plan on staying for multiple nights, I'd recommend bringing a pair of earplugs just in case. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would absolutely consider staying here again. The excellent staff, convenient location, and modern hotel made the positives outweigh the negatives.

The…read moreoverall ambience has a forest-meets-country feel that makes it stand out from typical city hotels. The location is excellent, with easy access to the F and E subway lines. Service at reception was great -- welcoming and attentive -- and they even had small seasonal treats available, like hot chocolate, packaged cookies, and water, which was a nice touch. The rooms are exactly what you'd expect for New York, Manhattan, and Chelsea: not large, but perfectly functional. Honestly, you don't come to Manhattan to sit in your room -- it's meant for resting, and for that purpose, the room was ideal. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the shower and amenities felt modern and well maintained. The only downside was an issue with housekeeping communication. We had requested a late checkout (2 PM), yet someone attempted to access the room multiple times in the morning -- knocking at 9 AM, again at noon, and then around 1 PM. On the last occasion, the door was actually opened, though thankfully the safety latch was on. We had informed staff of the late checkout after the first two attempts, so this was disappointing and uncomfortable. Overall, a great hotel with excellent design and location, but the late checkout process could definitely be better managed

It avoids all the nonsense near Times Square where so many other hotels seem to be. It's perfectly placed to walk to fifth ave for shopping or west to the highline and down to the Whitney or little island. Plenty of coffee shops nearby. Subway station nearby. There's bottled water downstairs to grab on your way in although nyc tap is fine with me. They warned me that my room was pretty small and they weren't wrong but it was ready early. It's almost like a Japanese business man hotel with the bed taking up most of the space but it had everything I needed. Closet, coat hooks, drawer, desk, TV, coffee machine. No fridge though. Bathroom was clean and nice. It is a bit dark inside. Honestly though are you in the city to hang out in your hotel room - I think not. Although if you're sharing this room with someone even your partner it's a bit tights. It's the corner 08 stack so fine if you're alone and very quiet. The heater was a bit cantankerous. Overall I'd stay here again. It was a perfect base to return to the city and remind me why NY is such a great place.

It doesn't work consistently in your room and the business center is pathetic. They say it's a business center, but they have guests and children and even dogs and pets in there and absolutely impossible to do any kind of zoom call or work... every business person was struggling and having issues. It is not a dedicated business center, and the Internet is not reliable. It is loud and crowded and Not just was professionals. Breakfast: with my reservation breakfast was supposed to be included. What you get with breakfast is a small coffee and a toasted plain bagel or croissant. They have a full bakery and other food and it is not included in the breakfast selections. It is a small coffee and a plain bagel or plain croissant. I'm gluten-free and they would not substitute anything even though they had other options. The bar and café are way overpriced- freezing... They turned the music up so loud that it's unbearable in the Lounge area... and the service is lacking... The room cleaning is lacking at best. Restocking the room was not consistent and the cleaning staff ALWAYS missed something... like sweeping the floor. No washcloths... or partial towel replacements. The front desk staff can be very snippy. No one knows what the other is doing. Inconsistent. Wish I could give a better review... Really just takes a smile or kind word sometimes instead of Eye rolls and acting like they are doing you a favor- just by doing their job.
