Just minor things: The sometimes noisy fridge and hallway light shining through the door frame. Overall it was a nice property!

Absolutely charming old brick house. Vintage interior and an awesome host!

It might not be for everyone. It's more like a home than a hotel and that should be respected. Hopefully I did!

One of the best places I've ever stayed from start to finish. The welcome from Kellyn is genuine, heartfelt, informative, and full of passion for New York; the rooms are huge and decorated to fine detail, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom well appointed and the TV huge & with all the channels (not that I used it much!); the location is excellent - direct connections to JFK & La Guardia, two stops from Times Sq and 3 from Penn Stn - and the immediate area is both quiet and close to great bars, the gorgeous Morningside Park and the history and culture of both Harlem & Columbia University. I also wasn't expecting a free laundry service and to be woken by birdsong rather than traffic noise! I cannot overstate how much I loved staying here.

There weren’t any dislikes.

The property was beautiful and in walking distance of everything we planned to do. The owner so was knowledgeable about the area, she was very responsive, and genuinely cared about our stay and safety.

Nothing to complain about.

The preserved victorian-era authentic interior. And the location. And the host.

Nice old hotel with beautiful period furniture. Owner gave us a nice historical summary of the area, where to eat, etc. very close to the A subway, making Central Park and Times Square only minutes away. Loved it!!

Honestly, nothing!

Lovely historic building with original features. Huge room with massive comfy bed. The host was friendly and offered great tips for the city. The laundry service and little kitchen were a bonus. Don’t worry about breakfast- the little deli on the corner does a mean and cheap breakfast roll and Mr Lee Lee’s bakery lives up to its reputation! We loved the location near Central Park and felt safe in the neighbourhood.

Although the building is generally very clean and neat, it is somewhat worn here and there (since it's an old building). I understand that a full renovation is impossibly costly and ambitious, but a few upgrades might be nice. Nevertheless, these were only details. The bed was intensely soft - it was comfortable, but, as someone used to a hard mattress, I had some back pains towards the end of the stay. Good to keep in mind, I guess, for those who can't handle a soft mattress.

Great accommodation. Wonderful location in Harlem, and conveniently close to the subway, which is just around the corner - from there, central park is a few minutes away. Nice atmospheric interior, and big room. Facilities were great - there's a useful small kitchen, and a great bathroom. Room was cleaned/bedsheets were replaced frequently, which was nice. Instructions regarding the keys, entering/leaving, and checking out were clear and easy. Very comfortable stay!

Nothing

The hotel was situated in a typical Westside Manhattan building and the room was unique with an amazing kind of antique decor. The room was super clean and the bathroom was equipped with a bathtub and above all very spacious. The hotel is ideally located only 5mn walking distance from the metro station and it only takes 2 stops and 15 mn on the A-line to Times Square, and less than 20 mn to Penn Station. The area, a few blocks from Columbia university, is very safe and the streets are calm during the night. I would definitely recommend staying in Harlem Grand if you're visiting the city.

It didn't really bother me, but others would be aware of the narrow stairs you take to get up to your room.

I love the classic feel of the home. It has so much character. It was also close to the subway and local food stores. The bed was very comfortable and it was great having a little kitchenette to use. They refreshed the room every other day and even offered to do one load of laundry.

towels were in need of an upgrade !

The walls are thin, not a deal breaker, just that you feel like you have to be very quiet - which at times was actually a bonus

The room was very lovely as was the host, the space felt more like our own little apartment than a hotel.

Nice big room, full of character, really comfortable bed. Great wifi. Use of fridge/ ketttle etc next door. Location was great for exploring the city - 2 subway stops and we were in times square yet still in a quiet area. Our host Kellen was very knowledgeable and friendly giving us great tips and always available through the chat function of the app.

Cozy apartment nearby the subway,very clean,in nice old style,hightly recommended!

No complimentary coffee or water in the room however, the reason those were not provided was explained to me by the owner.

The suite was clean and cheerful and nicely appointed. Also, I needed a later checkout and Kellen, the owner, was quite receptive to that.

The Harlem Grand is a unique place, created with the finest taste, not a single detail is out of the context. We felt warmly welcomed and spent five marvellous days, place is close the A-Train on 125st, breakfast nearby. If in NYC, Harlem Grand will be the place to stay for us.

Wifi was spotty during our stay. Otherwise everything was good

Excellent location for Columbia, 125 St metro area. Quiet street, clean and comfortable room.

There is no one on site most of the time. You have to plan carefully for arrival and departure. This is more like an AirBnB than typical Booking sites.

The brownstone in Harlem is a convenient walk to neighborhood spots and close to Morningside Park. It also has easy access to express and local trains from St. Nicolas station. This location is comfortable and quiet with easy access to Harlem, Manhattanville, and nearby Columbia University (if you enjoy a short walk with stairs). The owner is helpful in giving an overview of the house, neighborhood, transportation, and providing clear instructions. She generally responds within 24 hours.

Authentic New York accomodation! Very clean and beautiful rooms!

This location is great. It's a quiet residential brownstone with everything within walking distance. Bus/subway stations, restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores are all easy walks. The owner is gracious and onsite if needed. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have stayed in. Don't hesitate to stay here. This place is a gem.

Although not too far out as easy subway access, the area wasn’t the best and I wouldn’t venture out at night. Not a tourist area so expected.

The welcome was lovely and the host explained all the facilities and the area. The bed was super comfy and facilities good for a few nights, including use of a joint refrigerator, kettle, kitchenette etc. A really quiet street with no noise which is hard to find in NY! Real close to the subway station to get everywhere in minutes. Unique place, it felt like staying at home not at a hotel!
