Was not following local Coronavirus laws, no masks indoors in public spaces such as lobby. I asked front desk about it but rather than try to enforce it, the woman at the front desk cheered on some hoodlums in the lobby who said they’d beat me up if it was enforced. Luckily the manager came out from all their hollering. It was very unsafe, I… Read more
Was not following local Coronavirus laws, no masks indoors in public spaces such as lobby. I asked front desk about it but rather than try to enforce it, the woman at the front desk cheered on some hoodlums in the lobby who said they’d beat me up if it was enforced. Luckily the manager came out from all their hollering. It was very unsafe, I checked out early. It seems to have gone the way several other hotels on the west side have reportedly gone. It’s a shame - I’ve lived a few blocks away for 14 years, which is why I stayed here when my apartment was flooded by above neighbors. It’s a good area. This hotel and it’s law-breaking guests are not the norm for the area. Read less

So technically this is a 3.5 star hotel. It’s not a Four Seasons or a Waldorf hotel. But I’m giving this place five stars. First of all, the staff is fun, kind, and accommodating. I’ve stayed here three times now, and checking in today, they knew my name as soon as I walked in the door. I work nights when I’m in NYC, and they’ve always… Read more
So technically this is a 3.5 star hotel. It’s not a Four Seasons or a Waldorf hotel. But I’m giving this place five stars. First of all, the staff is fun, kind, and accommodating. I’ve stayed here three times now, and checking in today, they knew my name as soon as I walked in the door. I work nights when I’m in NYC, and they’ve always accommodated me with a quiet room off the main hall. This time they gave me a corner room with huge windows and tons of light (note that courtyard rooms are quieter). The rooms aren’t fancy, but they are clean and have good heating and air, and the beds are pretty comfy. There aren’t any drawers for clothing, but the modern closet space is plenty for me. Housekeeping is always nice and thorough. They have a neat lobby with artwork from local artists and modern music playing. There is normally a bar and breakfast served, but not right now during COVID 19. It’s also in the vibrant Harlem neighborhood and is about half a mile from a subway train that can get you anywhere. This was booked for business, but I would stay here on personal stays too. Again, kudos to the staff—so warm and welcoming, better than so many luxury hotels in which I’ve stayed! Read less

The Aloft Harlem is a great trendy boutique hotel. The staff was awesome- extremely helpful, professional, and personable. The front desk staff offered great suggestions for dining, entertainment, and even tips on how to navigate the city. My daughter will be attending Columbia University Teachers College in the fall, so we wanted a location within walking distance to the university. The walk to campus is about 12 minutes. The hotel is very clean and we would not hesitate to stay again! Read less

We had the opportunity to stay at the Aloft! Naja at the front desk was so helpful and attentive! Please give her our thanks! It was our first time at this hotel but will not be our last. Naja made us feel very welcomed.

Reserved 2 Queen room, only to find out upon arrival that my room flooded and they were giving me two separate rooms you make up for this. I only wish they were adjoining took, but none were available at the time. Management was very apologetic and gave us vouchers for breakfast. The rooms were nice and spacious. The bed was comfy and the temperature just right for a balmy NY night. The only downside is the bar was closed for the night, as no bar staff was available and no microwave in the rooms. I would definitely stay again. Read less
