2 blocks from the A express on 125 makes this a convenient alternative for touring or conferences. Staff was helpful. Area felt safe even at 1am arrival. More

I just returned from 3 nights here with my husband. I am a country girl from Tennessee and this was our first trip to NYC. I was nervous because all I know of Harlem I have learned from the news and television but was pleasantly surprised by the experience. I did walk around one night by myself and, although I... More

I chose this property sight-unseen since it was close to Columbia University (less than a 15 minute walk) and Aloft properties are known for their pleasing, comfortable, modern styling. This property went FAR beyond my expectations! I arrived at Penn Station laden with a lot of heavy luggage, and Rachel (at the Aloft front desk) was able to give me... More

Two women working the front desk were very helpful. Hotel was vintage Aloft in decor and offerings. Rather smaller than the Brooklyn Aloft but near subway and area restaurants and bars. Would definitely stay again. More

This hotel is a good value. It's comfortable and clean with lots of thoughtful extras such as a large gym and snack bar with yummy looking sandwiches(food for purchase). Staying here is giving me a chance to see a part of NYC that I haven't seen before. We're close to the northern part of Central Park so it is easy... More

Stayed at the Aloft Harlem from April 23rd to 27th, and the rate was 249 USD (busy week in NY - all hotels where fully booked). The hotel lobby has a vibrant, yet cozy feel to it. The furnishing is modern with an internet cafe for printing, a nice piano and a snack area. There is nice music playing in... More

I just completed a two-night stay at the Aloft Harlem, and I confess that I chose the hotel simply on the basis of the price ($160 a night through AAA). I was seriously worried about staying this far north of Midtown and the Village, both areas where I like to spend time. It turned out to be great. It was... More

I stayed at this hotel for business for three nights and had a great stay. It was a great price for NYC ($180 a night) and the location is great near the 125th Street Subway station where you can catch the A express train (first stop after you get on is 59th Street) or the BCD trains.

If you want a convenient, clean, efficient hotel in NYC, try the Aloft. It's right near 125th on Frederick Douglass. Harlem is becoming more gentrified, diverse, and hopping. Plenty of places to eat, shop, easy stroll to subway. The hotel is fairly new, clean, staff is very friendly and helpful. If you're a AAA member, you can have free breakfast.... More
