New York bed & breakfasts

Pros: A lovely, well-decorated property offering good value. The transport links are excellent. It’s a fast subway journey to downtown. Close to Morningside Park and not far from Central Park and Columbia University as well as the sights of Harlem.

Cons: Messages were not always acknowledged but communication was otherwise good.

Pros: Gorgeous room, very fancy, I felt like a princess. Very comfortable bed, stylish design, beautiful building. Subway is 3 minutes walk

Pros: The room was very nice and clean. The location is quiet and we could sleep at night with the window open and had fresh air. We also liked the neighbourhood.

Cons: We were definitely not treated like guests by the hotel keeper. There was neither any reception nor anyone in the house receiving us. We arrived too early and had to wait outside the house until the hotel keeper came. Other guests were not allowed to let us enter the house. We were not happy about that and because of that the hotel keeper was very impolite towards us and made the whole situation even worse!! Without asking us she wanted to organise a room in a different hotel which we denied. We finally insisted on the accomodation we had booked. When we checked out, nobody was there either. I had to ask for the invoice by e-mail. There was absolutely no service at all!!!

Pros: Excellent location to explore Harlem, and close to the subway to explore the rest of New York. The owner was super helpful and helped us finding restaurants and tell us about the area. The place has lots of character with beautiful wooden stairs and trim.

Cons: The sink plug did not work, but that is just a minor thing.

Pros: Beautiful and charming Brownstone house, good location, nice room, close to metro. Good and clear communication with hosts before arrival.

Cons: nothing, really ... ;-)

Pros: Great location, quiet street, short distance to the subway. Morningside park is at the end of the street which is good if you travel with children.

Cons: Did not like the shower/bath it was small and the water pressure was very little.

Pros: It is a beautiful apartment and very comfy.

Cons: The house is very creaky. The wooden stairs are so creaky and noisy that its impossible for guests to come and go quietly. Therefore we were woken almost every night by someone leaving early. The only other thing is all the charges that you get emailed about for late arrivals, late checkouts etc. Arriving at 7pm isn't that late but they 'fine' you, and it's more if you're later than this. Not a very welcoming gesture we thought.

Pros: The brownstone was clean and beautifully decorated with antique furniture.

Cons: I loved everything!

Pros: Location.

Cons: Greeted with, “please no meat, fish, any dead animals!!” A little awkward to say the least. The temperature was literally 80+ degrees in the apartment. It was disclosed as a bed and breakfast which consisted of make your own cereal and fruit. The bedroom door only had a lock from the inside. As for the bathroom, you received one towel each, no wash cloth and there were used bars of soap. There were other people’s toothbrushes randomly on the sink and surrounding area.

Pros: Cozy, affordable, well located.

Cons: Walls are very thin. Baby crying at 5am was only tolerable because I had jetlag and was awake. Shared shower means making sure you shower early to avoid long waits.

Pros: I love the peace. The room is comfortable and the meditation garden is fabulous. I also love that the work they do with the homeless. I stay here every time I'm in town.

Pros: Quiet street.

Cons: The music which played all day & night. Also, dark and no windows. Couldn’t tell if it was day or night, sunny or raining!!!

Cons: The radiator in the bedroom is noisy (it rattles).

Pros: Everything here is great. Especially the host prepared hot water for us. That’s something so sweet in cold weather day. Thank you very much.

Pros: The spiritual atmosphere

Cons: Bathroom

Pros: It was friendly and peaceful quiet. And clean and a great deal for the price. I highly recommend it to anyone. I truly enjoyed my stay.

Cons: I liked every thing.

Pros: Beautiful place in a fascinating, historic neighborhood.
