Next door to the iconic Apollo Theatre. Walking distance to two subway stations and Columbia. No doorman service and limited taxi service (without calming). Lobby is on 5th floor. The hotel is newly refreshed and iconic/historic feeling. Neighborhood is mixed - some parts felt dirty and at times a bit unsafe.

Dirty, dangerous, and a surly manager. Stay somewhere else, unless you like the smell of urine in the lobby, brown stains on your towels, and playing "I wonder who's body hair this is?" in your bed.

From the very start, the customer service was on point. Check in was simple and the front desk receptionist was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. Apart from the breakfast crew who seemed to get overwhelmed easily and ignored me for 10-15 minutes even though only two other people were at the bar, everyone was wonderful! The food and drinks were delightful. The rooms are adorable and they do a great job with the space they have. We would certainly stay here again!

Nice hotel but terrible staff and terrible service

We stayed 3 nights and reported on day 1 that the AC was not working and that there was no bottled water in the room. After 24 hrs, someone came to investigate but could not fix the AC. He said he needed a tool but did not have it. It was never fixed. To add insult to injury, we were billed for the missing water bottle. The staff at the reception was uncomfortable when we reported our issues. They never followed up on our complaints and never resolved them. The staff at the restaurant was rude and took 45 minutes to take our order, deliver and bill us for 2 cappuccinos.

Experience The HarlemRenaissance

The Renaissance reflects the glamour, spirit and energy of the Harlem Renaissance! Just two doors down from the famous Apollo Theater, The Renaissance offers great service, modern comfortable accommodation, and delicious food in the restaurant. I look forward to coming back.

Harlem is a vibe! I lived in Harlem several years ago, so I was excited to see a new hotel right on 125th St. The building is beautifully designed and appointed. Staff amazing. The design honors artists of the Harlem Renaissance through artwork, music and interior choices. The poetry of Langston Hughes was etched on my mirror and stenciled on my ceiling. Additionally, guests received vouchers, to be used toward food or the bar. I stayed 2 nights and received 2 vouchers. I could see the Hudson river and Jersey from my 24th fl windows...and fireworks! I plan to book for Christmas.

Always drama but I will be back

Always someone to give drama at this place! But what do you want? I got to be back to my neighborhood and this is the hotel to give me that experience of Harlem!
