Overview

I’ll be honest, when I first walked up to Northern Lights Mansion on West 122nd Street, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from a mansion-style hotel right in the heart of Harlem. But you know what? This place completely surprised me in the best way possible. The building itself has this gorgeous brownstone character that fits perfectly into the neighborhood – it’s not trying to be some flashy Manhattan tower, which I actually loved. You’re literally steps away from Marcus Garvey Park, and the whole area has this incredible energy that feels authentically New York without the tourist circus you get in Times Square.

The four-star rating makes total sense once you step inside. The rooms have this interesting mix of historic charm and modern comfort that actually works – I mean, you’ve got original architectural details but also really good Wi-Fi and air conditioning that doesn’t sound like a freight train. What really impressed me was how quiet it gets at night, considering you’re in one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in the city. The staff clearly knows the area well too, and they gave me some fantastic restaurant recommendations that I never would have found on my own. There’s this Ethiopian place about three blocks away that was absolutely incredible, and honestly, I probably walked past it a dozen times without noticing.

The location is what really makes this place special though – you’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough from the madness to actually sleep. The subway is a quick walk, and getting down to Midtown or over to the East Side is surprisingly easy. Parking can be a bit tricky if you’re driving (street parking is the usual New York nightmare), but most people staying here are probably using public transit anyway. I stayed during a pretty busy weekend in fall, and the neighborhood was buzzing with street music and local events – it felt like experiencing the real city rather than just visiting it. The hotel’s 8.7 rating definitely reflects that they’ve figured out how to give visitors an authentic New York experience without sacrificing comfort, which is honestly harder to pull off than you’d think.

Hotels in New York offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of the Big Apple, with easy access to Wall Street, vibrant nightlife, and renowned attractions like Statue of Liberty.

Exquisite BnB

The property is incredible - a lot of character and beautiful sculpted furniture in the lobby. It’s almost like a museum. The room was comfortable and had a nice outdoor patio space.

What could be improved: The toilet has no door - I’d appreciate more privacy.

Wonderful

It was very comfortable, the manager was super nice and very friendly.
We only stayed one night but I’m planning on staying there in the future

What could be improved: Well, in booking.com it says breakfast included and when I asked the manager about the breakfast hours, he said that breakfast is not provided…There is bread , and coffee and he got us croissants the next morning… that was very nice to start the day
