The worst accomodation in my life! Never ever go here. The hotel is filled with bed bugs. I had to throw away my luggage and lots of clothes. The hotel itself is nasty, it stinks and you had to climb two flights of stairs to arrive. You cannot lock the room and so your luggage isn't safe. The grocery man outside knew the numbers to unlock the front door so you can only guess who also knows. PLEASE DONT GO. The area isnt safe, the room is filthy and the hotel owner isn't the nicest.

It was a really cool staying specially the 116 train station is around the corner. the only thing I didn’t like was if you pass through 11:00Am they will charge you 40 dollars extra which I think is kind of dumb but the place is clean and as well the cleaning lady she is really kind !

I dont know how to describe this place. The hospitality of the place is, well they do as much as they can and have to enjoy your stay. I just think $60 for this kinda adventure is too expensive. The price should be 40 in reality. Common areas are in ok shape for the place that is shared. But the bed. Lord....!lets just say If you are coming here to have sex, pull up the bed frame up to the wall and put the matress on the floor. That's my advice.

Worst hostel experience of my life. My friend and I got there at 9pm and tried to find the place but we couldn't since there were no indications about where it is. What we got was a door but there was nothing else. Then we called by phone and what we got was a Spanish woman that barely could speak english. We explained the situation, but she hadn't our reservation number and could not get to the hostel to help us. We ended up by sleeping in other hostel. The place were the hostel is located is very shady and dangerous, specially at night. I don't know if I was the first one to be scammed, but please do not book it!

Stayed here for 2 nights and it was nice. It is an apartment, not a hotel. It's also a self check in service. They sent me an email with the self check in instructions but you could also call the number. I had thought that the shared bathroom would be disastrous but it wasn't..the two other guests didn't even arrive (as there are 3 rooms so I pretty much had the place to myself...I think there are more apartments on the second floor but I was on the first)..The only problem I had were the stairs and I don't even call it one, it's just that it's steep to climb up. But for the price I paid to stay for two nights compared to actual hotels this place is a steal. You get a key to go in the apartment and also a closet key.Your room door can't be locked from the outside but the inside....you also have a key to the closet where you can lock your valuables when you're gone for the day You should definitely stay at this place. P.s - to find it, it's to the right of the beauty supply store.

I wanted to learn about Harlem and not pay a lot of cash to stay in New York. Rostel has all kitchen appliances u will need. The stairs are small and narrow be careful. LADY comes in to wash towels and clean every 2 days. Subway is on the left and right. BUS STOP is right in front of Rostel.

Like a hostel. Separate rooms, but you share the bathroom and kitchen space. No lock on the doors when you leave, just on the closet. Did not like that. Had to put away everything whenever I left. Cool view tho. Affordable!

Room was exactly as pictured - clean, spacious and easy to get to! There's a few key conveniences on or around the block to make your stay more comfortable, like Dunkin donuts, burger King, Dominos pizza, Taco Bell and a CVS to name a few. Overall very happy with my stay. Additionally, the quality and helpfulness of the staff exceeded my expectations; reminiscent of a mom-and-pop establishment. 😀

Well you should think twice before going there. I was in third floor with my wife and daughter. No elevator so, 4 50 pounds-louggagge to carry. At night we passed like 2 or 3 hours to search a beattle in our room and we found it as it climbed to my pijamas! (She was angry because we killed two other small ones hidden on our sheets!). We stayed 2 days. The room-cleaner was a really kind woman and she tried to do her best, however it is not easy to leave your luggagge and go for a walk after checking out (we left ours in the hallway)

(Warning: bed bugs!) I do not recommend staying here. The bedrooms can only be locked from the inside, meaning that you cannot leave valuable stuff in your room when leaving the rostel (no safe in the room). Sheets were not cleaned. There were tiny bloodstains on the sheets. After a day we found that there were bed bugs. We had to leave to a hotel. After calling the owner we finally got the full amount back after first being asked to stay at their other place in brooklyn with worse google reviews! We had to clean all our clothes with hot water and clean our suitcases (which we eventually threw away). Bed bugs may not sound like a big deal, but you do not want to take those bugs home with you!

First this is a Hostel not a Hotel. I wasn’t too sure about booking this place after reading the reviews. But honestly I would stay here again. The location was perfect. Subway access just around the corner. Easy to find, the person in charge was very nice. She let us drop off our bags before check in time which is 4pm. Then let us check in early at 12:30pm. There’s 2 floor levels we were in the 3rd level. The only disadvantage is there’s no elevator. Going up the stair when tired can be annoying. But that’s the only thing stoping me from giving this place a perfect score. The room was really nice. Yes u have to share a restroom with 2 other rooms. But we never saw anyone in our floor. It has a kitchen which was convenient to warm up our left overs. I took pictures and I wish I could post them. But If ur looking for something offordable I recommend this place.

I paid a long time ago.but they s Didn't get my key ready.and way too expensive... The oven doesn't work. Blood on the pillows..... Never going back

To those who plan to stay in this horrible place with terrible service. -This is absolutely not a hotel even though all the websites saying 3 stars hotel. - I made a reservation but never stayed because i never experience a frightful place like this before. - Took me a long time asking people around about this place. Finally found the entrance but had to do self-check in through a scary and creepy stairs with the stinky hallway. - I never see my name on the door as it suppose to after you reserved. - i canceled and never stayed because i think this place is like for hooker and their customers. - HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED - YOU WILL REGRET EVEN BEFORE YOU SEE THE ROOM.

The most horrible experience ever. I needed a double bed received a full bed for 3 people. Person who answers the phone VERY RUDE N HAS NO KNOWLEDGE. Owner NEVER CALLED ME BACK. Upset, it's showing as a "hotel" but it's actually a shared apartment with 2 other rooms for a goal of 6 or more people shared with. I am very unhappy and I will never stay here again. I was on a time crunch, traveled from another state n needed to be in Harlem at 6 am. I made the worst choice ever choosing this place. They should be ashamed of their false advertisement. But I will let my lawyer handle that.
