The Harlem Flophouse, a 2-star hotel near LaGuardia Airport (6.2 miles away) and Teterboro Airport (5.0 miles away), is located in Harlem, just 10 minutes' walk from the 125th Street IRT Lexington Avenue Line. The property is 2.5 miles from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2.8 miles from Strawberry Fields, and 3.1 miles from Central Park. Free parking is often available on the street, with secure overnight parking at the corner of 122nd Frederick Douglass Blvd.

Rooms with Garden Views

Rooms at The Harlem Flophouse feature two windows, a shared bathroom, and a desk, with certain units offering garden views. Each room includes one full-sized bed, and a single-sized cot can be provided upon request at no extra charge. The maximum room capacity is three, with an exception for toddlers and infants, but no more than four under any circumstances.

Dining & Local Flavors

Breakfast is not served, but numerous dining options, from simple to luxurious, are within walking distance. The surrounding neighborhood features easy access to cafes, restaurants, and the world-famous Paris Blues jazz club around the corner. Guests can explore Harlem's vibrant culinary and music scene, inspired by legends like James Brown and Michael Jackson.

Cultural & Artistic Hub

The Harlem Flophouse is steps away from The Apollo Theater, Columbia University, and music venues like Showman's Jazz Emporium. Nearby attractions include the Studio Museum in Harlem (0.3.1 miles) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (3.3.1 miles). Artists such as Moby and Sharon Jones have used this Victorian flophouse as a backdrop for their work.

Services & Amenities

The property offers free WiFi throughout and a shared lounge, with individualized climate control in each room. Housekeeping services, including fresh sheets and towels, are available for an additional $50 per visit. Check-in begins at 3 PM, with late check-out available until 5 PM for a fee.

“This place feels more like a curated home than a hotel, filled with global art and antiques thanks to the owner's travels. Concerts in the living room create a communal vibe, reflecting the welcoming spirit of Harlem itself. It's a restful base, with easy subway access and comfortable rooms, making it a truly authentic New York experience.”

Guest Emotional Experience

Strange & UniqueLike Time Travel

“It felt so much like time travel that I opened the window the first night instead of looking for the air conditioner control.”

Anonymous from United States

Away at HomeWarmly Homely

“The lobby was warm and homely, books and games to borrow and classical jazz and Christmas music softly playing on a Robertson style radio.”

Lexy T from United Kingdom

Explorers, Not TouristsA 'Real' Vibe

“Staying in Harlem has a 'real' vibe to it with parts that are gritty and others that are magically pristine.”
