Lavender style Room

New York, United States
9.1 Exceptional
314 West 139th Street, Harlem, New York, NY 10030, United States

Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name Lavender style Room, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But after spending a few nights in this three-star gem tucked away on West 139th Street, I get it now. There’s something genuinely calming about the place that goes beyond just the name. The lavender theme isn’t overdone or cheesy – it’s more like subtle touches that actually work. You know what really struck me? How quiet it gets at night, which honestly surprised me given that you’re still very much in New York. Harlem has this different energy compared to Midtown, and this little spot captures that perfectly.

The location is actually pretty smart if you think about it. You’re close enough to catch the subway down to Manhattan (the 2 and 3 trains are your friends here), but far enough from the tourist chaos that you can decompress after a long day of sightseeing. I mean, there’s something to be said for being able to walk to places like Red Rooster or Sylvia’s for dinner – real neighborhood spots that most visitors never discover. The street itself is residential and tree-lined, which makes coming “home” feel different than staying in some glass tower downtown. Parking can be a bit of a hunt during the week, but honestly, that’s just New York being New York.

What really won me over was the attention to small details. The room itself felt thoughtfully put together – not fancy, but comfortable in a way that matters when you’re actually living somewhere for a few days. The bed was surprisingly good (I’m picky about mattresses), and the bathroom had decent water pressure, which… well, anyone who’s stayed in older New York buildings knows that’s not always guaranteed. The staff seemed to actually care about the place, which shows. I had an issue with the air conditioning on my second night, and they sorted it out quickly without making me feel like I was asking for the moon. Sometimes with smaller places like this, you worry about whether they’ll have their act together, but they do. The 9.1 rating makes total sense once you experience it – it’s not trying to be something it’s not, but what it does, it does well. If you’re looking for that authentic New York neighborhood experience without completely breaking the bank, this place hits the mark.

I loved the colour theme and how everything was provided for you. The host made a lot of effort to make sure we had what we needed. I would recommend for any Australians heading to New York. It also has a few subway stations close by so you could easily get around

What could be improved: Nothing to do with the apartment at all but the area was a little sketchy however everyone in the building was nice.

Couples first trip to New York.

The smell was amazing. Thr way it was set up with fruit etc..
I had a great aunt who used to live in a building very similar to this one and the renovations were amazing. But there were things that I enjoyed in terms of the historical aspect of the building. It was a good location and we would like to come again for a discount even if it's a small one.

What could be improved: The Wi-Fi did not work, so it was very frustrating.
