Victorian style hotel, a few steps from the Apollo Theater, with rooms equipped with sinks and old-fashioned decor
To experience authentic Harlem, there is nothing better than to stay in this old house converted into a hotel. Victorian in style, this property has a basic comfort but a jazzy atmosphere and offers 4 rooms equipped with washbasins and an old-fashioned decoration. The guests share the two bathrooms (one on each floor), and if the television and the air conditioning are absent, one feels welcomed like kings by Rene, the owner. The hotel is a stone's throw from the Apollo Theater. To discover another facet of New York.

We arrived on a very cold winter day and were greeted at the door by our host, Rene. We asked if he had anything warm to drink available and he immediately popped down to his basement quarters and returned with an electric kettle, mugs and a big box of tea bags that we used throughout our stay.
The location couldn’t have been better for us, just a 3 block walk from the friends we had come up to visit. But it’s very convenient for anyone visiting NYC--2 blocks to the A-B-C-D subway lines as well as a number of bus routes that go across 125th street to the 6 subway line, and one of which turns onto Lexington Avenue and goes all the way down the east side.
If you’re hungry, we suggest takeout from Charles Pan Fried Chicken at their 125th Street location. They were featured in the Netflix documentary “High on the Hog” and have excellent Fried Chicken, sides (black eyed peas are awesome) and cornbread at very reasonable prices.
Just two regrets: we didn’t get to meet Rene’s cat and, because we were at an Anniversary party for our friends, we didn’t get to attend the regular concert he frequently hosts on the first floor of the house.
And did I mention, the Flophouse costs only $125 per night, far less expensive than almost any hotel in Manhattan. We’ll be back.
