Northern Lights Mansion - New York, New York

Gilbert Konrad

Nettes kleines B&B in Harlem.
Sehr freundliches Personal.
Die Zimmer haben alles was man braucht, sind jedoch extrem hellhörig. Man hört Jeden und alles im Haus als würde die Zimmertür immer offen stehen.
Grosse gemeinsam nutzbare Küche mit allem was man sich denken kann.
Nachbarschaft ist relativ ruhig.
Eine Adresse welche man wirklich empfehlen kann.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, although we only interacted with someone on the first day, then didn't see anybody else.

The room was not exactly a suite as advertised - it was a basement room with both windows blocked off with heavy blankets. So no city views, nor views at all.
There were several large pipes running through the room, and every time someone used the bathroom or turned the water on upstairs, we would hear a loud noise.
No blanket was provided - we found this out late at night and since didn't manage to contact anyone, we had to look for one in a closet in the hallway.
Finally, there was a sauna but no instructions were initially given, so we couldn't use it the first night (instructions were given on the second day).

Definitely a home away from home. This house is big and beautiful, has an Asian theme. Stood at the Garden Suite, has a private hot tub and private back yard. Ron and Aubrey were excellent hosts, very helpful and informative. Will be visiting again, don’t hesitate and book your stay!

What an amazing place! Ron, Aubrey and Celica are the epitome of helpful, polite, friendly and welcoming hosts - nothing was too much trouble. The building is a fantastic piece of Harlem history, tastefully modernized without losing any character. Our room was warm and spacious, and very comfortable. It’s a great, safe location for getting into Manhattan too.

The furniture looked like yard sale mismatched. The extension cords and T.V. Cords were loosely run & exposed. The bath door wouldn’t stay closed. The wonderful jetted tub was out of service. Breakfast was a separate charge. Personal good.

Stayed here for business. I needed a place close to Columbia University and this place was my best choice for a late booking. This is a brownstone converted to a boutique hotel. It is best described as immaculate with historical shabby chic. My room was about the size of a traditional hotel room. The bathroom was slightly smaller. The fixtures in the room are beautiful. I got a room facing the front allowing me to hear the sounds of the city. I used the kitchen to eat a meal I brought from outside. The caretaker is very warm and accommodating. The manager is about business, she helped me through a billing problem with care. The police station is right on the avenue and there are beat police walking all over this neighborhood. It might scare some of y'all but it's safe.

Harlem has a couple of traditional hotels but stay here if you want a little flavor of Harlem life. Tons of good eats to include vegetarian just walking distance away. NYC Subway A and D lines are a 8 minute walk. Apollo theater is a 6 minute walk. Columbia University is a 10-15 minute walk.

Very quaint and homey B&B, owners were very nice and helpful. The room had no working a/c but otherwise very nice (would be nice to have a tower fan at least). Provided small snacks and drinks in the kitchen and the place was clean. It is very homey, don’t expect a hotel. Great if you want a historic, real experience in Harlem. Just a few blocks from the express line so well connected to the rest of NYC as well. They provide a breakfast coupon to a nice little cafe that has great food. People will be out on the street for much of the day/night but relatively quiet for NYC. Great vibe to the neighborhood, safety has been a concern for a few reviewers, but doesn’t seem unsafe at all, feels like locals actually live in the neighborhood. Don’t expect a lower Manhattan experience. Well lit streets with people out enjoying the night; overall wonderful place to stay, would highly recommend if you’re looking for a quaint authentic experience, felt like I actually lived there for a couple days with a few additional amenities.

Both the property and the host were top notch. My party enjoyed beautiful, comfortable rooms with all of the basics like comfy beds and bathrooms plus special amenities like spray showers or Tatami mats. Diane, the owner and host made a multi course breakfast that satisfied every one's palates and she even allowed a late check out for those who needed one. We will be back to this wonderful property and just to say hello. I do recommend this place.
