Our recommendation is the Renaissance Suite: the perfect place for a party of four to calm down after exhausting days of NYC experience. Spacious and pretty, located in a nice part of Harlem, 20 min to Times Square. But don't expect a boring continental breakfast. That won't happen as long as Jeremy is in control of the kitchen ;-) No complaints! J., P., K. & E.

We stayed at Sugarhill for 3 days in June 2009 and loved this quiet, charming place. Jeremy welcomed us very warmly and we had a wonderful time there. The rooms are spacious and the district is very calm and typical of Harlem (not dangerous at all !). The room was clean and the breakfast was very tasty. We really loved going there and spent a wonderful time there ! You should see it !

SHHI was the perfect place to stay in NYC. Quiet and homey but easy access to subway, bus and taxis. It feels like you have your own little place in NYC but without breaking the bank. HARLEM IS NOT SCARY!! I never felt in danger and enjoyed seeing a different part of the city. Have fun and enjoy...you won't want to leave!

We spent the weekend at Sugar Hill. We really enjoyed this inn as it exudes history which you won't find in the typical motel. We were able to walk to great restaurants for food and clubs for music. We were close to the subway and able to take in a show on Broadway. I will recommend this inn to my family and friends.

We came because of Smokey the cat and were gald we picked here!!! From the AMAZING bed that we affectionately called "The Cloud" to the INCREDIBLY sexy shower with red tiles and floor to ceiling glass door...this place impressed and did not stop to impress all 4 days and 3 nights! Quiet, but yet close enough to catch a train to EVERYTHING....my ONLY 2 complaints are I would have liked Decaf coffee (there was none) and I would have liked to see the toilet paper upgraded to something a little more luxurious in keeping with the rest of our stay! Yes folks you read that right, my ONLY complaints were decaf coffee and toilet paper!!!! EVERYTHING else about this incredible place met and exceeded our expectatations! Great host, ask him about your favorite conspiracy theory (wink wink). Smokey was a delight, the back sunporch was an oasis. The street felt VERY safe and we had no fear walking around at night. We parked our car nearby and basically left it alone for 4 days and only moved it twice for street sweeping. Overall I cannot say enough about how great this place was. We would go back tomorrow without question. We want to LIVE in Lena's room! A great time. Thank you! Dan and Wendy

Vi har tilbragt en dejlig uge i Harlem, stedet har sjove, anderledes og meget store og fine rum, velegenet til at vi f.eks var 5 af sted paa familieferie. Bydelen er meget spændende og anderledes og man er i centrum af Manhatten på bare 15 min, vi vil varmt anbefale stedet, hvis man vil se lidt andet New York

I stayed at Sugar Hill for 2 weeks in January with my daughter (20y) and son(17y). I found Sugar Hill Harlem Inn on the internet. After reading the reviews I booked and was not disappointed. The area had truly undergone a renaissance. The Inn itself is a lovely three story terrace with bay windows, it is beautifully furnished and well appointed. The bathrooms and kitchen were immaculate. The house also has a resident cat, Smokey who is very friendly. She is not allowed in the rooms, she stays downstairs and in the basement, so allergies should not be a problem. The basement also contains a washing machine and dryer. My daughter stayed in the Miles' room - a beautifully prortioned room with a queen size bed. It has a small bathroom but a very well appointed kitchen - it is basically a studio appartment. My son and I shared the Satchmo room with a king size bed and a large well heated bathroom which opens onto a veranda. The subway connections to the city are excellent with three lines within easy walking distance. Even coming home around midnight we felt quite safe and had no unpleasant experiences. Note there are Metrocard packages for unlimited trave for 7, 14 and 30 days, we only found out half way through our stay, so I thought I should mention this!!! It makes getting around much cheaper, the Metrocard also works on the buses. All of the appartment budlings in the area have been restored (or are in the process of restoration) to their original beauty. We went to a Gospel service on Sunday at 11am on Bernadette's suggestion and I found it it a very moving experience. I recommend the Sugar Hill Inn Harlem wholeheartedly. When I next visit New York City, I will stay there again.

I loved my room. It was comfortable and spacious. The private bathroom adjoining the bedroom was big and modern. The kitchen was also modern and inviting for cooking. It was wonderful to stay in such a warm and cozy brownstone. A real home away from home. The neighbourhood was delightful on a quiet Harlem street lined with trees. It had easy access to the subway on the A line, making it about 10 minutes to reach 42nd street. I found the location to be a fantastic respite from fast-paced New York. I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to New York City. I will stay there again for sure.

My husband and I got married in August 2008 and I surprised him with our wedding night stay at SSHI and he was speechless. We stood there for 3 days( until our departure for our Honeymoon Cruise) and we had the most unforgetable time there. We were able to distress and actually spend time after the nuptuals and we stayed in what I consider the most beautiful room ever!!! The Satchmo Room. I was surprised and thankful to know that NYC still has hidden jewels such as the B&B and I have recommended this diamond to everyone I know.

We just returned from a week in New York and we stayed at the Sugarhill in Harlem. We, like most people, were a bit nervous about staying in Harlem, because of popular myth. It was evident right from our late night arrival that Harlem was a great choice. We never felt uncomfortable travelling around at night (we weren't stupid though), it was clean and much quieter than staying in downtown Manhatten. We didn't participate in breakfasts because we were always on the go so I can't comment on that but we did take advantage of Jeremy's bike rentals (which were cheaper than renting downtown). The day we rented bikes was fantastic. We covered so much ground and gave our feet a much needed break. My suggestion is to take Jeremy up on his recommendations, whatever they may be. We took him up on his cab selection, divey blues bar choice, bike directions and safety and it was all bang on. If we ever make it back to New York, we would stay at the Sugarhill B & B again and we would certainly recommend it to friends and that is the best review anyone can give!

I really enjoyed this Inn. It is much cheaper than staying at most NYC hotels and nicer. I felt very safe and enjoyed the fall evening air when waiting outside for my cab. This was my first time staying at this Inn, but it won't be my last. I will encourage my co-workers to stay here because it is closer to our NYC office. My only regret is that I was in a hurry and could not enjoy that breakfast that smelled and looked wonderful!! All of the photos are accurate and are not misleading.

We stayed in SHHI in September 2008 for our first and a six day visit of NYC. We booked over the internet and I got prompt response to questions. As known Harlem had a bad reputation in the past but Harlem is definitely a great neighborhood to stay. Where Sugar Hill is situated it is very quiet and as you probably read on reviews from other places to stay that is a rare thing to find in NYC. Also when we came home late the neighborhood is great to walk. The population of Harlem is mixed and yes, there live quite a few colored people so if you are afraid of that do not go here, but then you might consider not going to the east coast at all and go to Texas. Harlem will become a very expansive neighborhood in the coming years. The houses are beautiful and full of history and so is Sugar Hill. The rooms are nicely decorated and we felled directly at home. Everything was clean and Jeremy and Bernadette are very flexible and relaxed. I think this place is great value for money and I will definitely try to go back there next time to the big apple. So far for the good things, now the things that are somewhat less or what you should be aware of… Harlem Inn is not a hotel. There is almost no service beyond checking in/out/answering questions/a good conversation with Jeremy and a towel refresh. So do not expect you bed to be clean every day or 24x7 availability of personnel. Furthermore the aircon was quit noisy and in the weekends you can expect to hear music if you are on the garden side of the building, but you will not here it because of the aircon.

My boyfriend and I had a fabulous time at the Sugar Hill Harlem Inn. This was not my first time in New York but I would certainly try here first for accommodation on future trips. I was a bit nervous about staying in Harlem but found that I loved the neighbourhood. It was very charming and quiet. The house we stayed in (on Convent Ave) was about 200m from the subway so location wise quite convenient. The house was very clean and comfortable. Our room was huge - spacious enough to hold a king sized bed, two big closets, a desk and a separate day bed. I can't wait to go back!

My fiance and I stayed at Sugar Hill for 3 nights and found it to be a very pleasant break from the noise and chaos we had just experienced in midtown New York. We stayed in Satchmo's Room which has an enormous bed, and very large private bathroom with shower and separate bathtub. Most exciting of all was the large outdoor deck which meant that we could open the door for a cool breeze at night or lie in the sun during the day. Jeremy and Bernadette are both lovely and helpful. Harlem is truly beautiful with some of the most superb architecture I have seen throughout my entire New York visit. It is an area filled with families and the house is in a beautiful street near the top of a hill.

Sugar Hill Harlem Inn is the closest to traditional New York City residential living you are likely to find as a visitor. Like many residential side streets in Harlem, there is a good deal of traffic on 141st Street, but relatively speaking, its quiet. You will find "460" over the door of a typical older brownstone, on a block of similar buildings, in a quiet neighborhood where you can walk down even quieter tree lined streets. You are only a block or two each way from main streets with buses, only five blocks from a subway station offering several train lines. Ten blocks down St. Nicholas is 135th Street, a pleasant historical Harlem main street. Twenty blocks (you can catch a bus) to 125th Street, featuring the Apollo. At breakfast you meet all kinds of interesting people, many with children, a few staying for the second or third time. Families from Spain, Norway, Italy, are likely to be among them. The inn is clean and well maintained. One word of caution: the photos on the internet look SO good you might think it has been restored to brand new condition. (EVERY internet site gives that impression, this caution applies to anyplace else you are looking at too.) Actually, the building does show its age, the woodwork has obviously been in service for 80 to one hundred years, but if you like older buildings, its charming, clean, and well equipped. Bernadette serves a nice breakfast too.

This Inn is quite a contrast to crowded, noisy New York hotels. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and clean, and Jeremy and Bernadette do everything possible to make guests comfortable. Don't let the fact that it's in Harlem scare you. It's very safe. I walked alone early early in the morning and received a friendly greeting from all I met. We were visiting family so were not interested in tourist attractions. This is a bit removed but everything is easily accessible by subway. My husband is not at all fond of New York (he goes only because our only grandchild is there), but he said he enjoyed this visit more than any other.

We stayed in Miles' room for a week and our expectations were exceeded. The room has got plenty of space and is equipped with a full scale kitchen. We skipped breakfast (which we took in a coffee shop around the corner) and used the A train to Columbus circle which takes only 10 minutes. I cannot comment on dinner, since as far as I know Sugar Hill does not offer this. The innkeepers were always available and we had a couple of almost personal and humorous conversations. If possible, try to avoid the rooms towards the street, sometimes the road can be somewhat noisy at night. But after all, this is NYC!

A good chance to experience a neighbourhood, say Harlem (lovely plus good nearby facilities: markets, subway etc.) a visitor to New York would not choose at first hand. Very nice, helpful owners who leave it up to you whether you want to mingle with them or prefer privacy. Our 2 little boys were welcome, the 2 rooms we had in succession were indeed furnished the way the pictures tell: Each had its musical theme and the furniture was very very tasteful chosen. We prefered Miles' room - because of the kids we were in need of a kitchen. Alone with my wife this little suite would fit our needs forever and would be worth a buy. The room rates are really good and visitors have the chance to meet a nice cat. It was a great stay and midtown is fast to reach if you want bright lights big city: subway line 'A' is definitely the best transportation vein in Manhattan. See you Bernadette and Jeremy

My boyfriend and I stayed in Satchmo for three nights in Feb. We found this neighborhood in Harlem to be a friendly and safe place - parked my car on the adjacent street all three days/nights with no problems whatsoever. Easy access to the train, shops, restaurants and a laundry service. An old-fashioned corner drugstore a few blocks away was a trip-saver for catering to my injured ankle - the pharmacist knew just what I needed and was very accomodating. Our room was beautifully furnished and the bed was incredibly comfortable. At night it was very quiet and we heard no noise from the street or adjacent apartments whatsoever - almost like being out in the country somewhere. Only problem with the room was that it would get quite hot at night and to remedy that we had to open the door to the balcony for some relief. Price was reasonable for Manhattan. I will definitely be back and will recommend to friends.

Abbiamo soggiornato dal 25/12/07 al 1/1/08. Non eravamo nella casa principale ma in un edificio poco lontano. La posizione è ottima: in una zona tranquillissima e storica di Harlem, nel cuore di Hamilton Heights, a 200 metri dalla metropolitana, in un bell'edificio degli inizi del '900. Camera spaziosa (ci stavamo in 4), bel bagno, cucina grande e pulita. Qualche problema c'è però stato. Siamo arrivati il giorno di Natale. Jeremy ci ha scritto che le chiavi le avremmo trovate sul posto. Al JFK ci hanno perso un bagaglio e siamo arrivati in ritardo. Le chiavi non erano dove aveva scritto (neppure quelle della camera) e siamo entrati in casa perché un ospite ci ha sentito e aperto. La camera era preparata per due e non per quattro. Abbiamo cercato di chiamare Jeremy e Bernadette molte volte al cellulare senza successo. All'indirizzo principale alle 19.30 non c'era nessuno: dovevamo anche comunicare che il giorno dopo avrebbero portato la valigia dall'aeroporto. Alla fine, rientrati dopo cena alle 22.30 abbiamo cercato da soli le lenzuola e le coperte per casa e abbiamo preparato il divano letto. Al mattino dopo pensavamo ci fosse la colazione, ma in casa non c'era nessuno. Siamo andati all'indirizzo principale alle 8.30. Abbiamo chiamato Jeremy, che ha risposto ed è arrivato in 5 minuti. Ci siamo spiegati (Bernadette non aveva capito in quanti eravamo, mentre la colazione non era inclusa perché ci aveva fatto uno sconto per il soggiorno settimanale) ed è stato gentilissimo e molto disponibile nel chiamare l'aeroporto per risolvere nel migliore dei modi il problema della valigia. Per una settimana non l'abbiamo più visto salvo poi per caso l'ultimo dell'anno, per scoprire incidentalmente che nell'appartamento ci sarebbe stato un party (noi avevamo calcolato di usare la cucina)... Il posto è molto bello e assolutamente consigliabile, il padrone di casa è simpatico e gentile ma un po' assente: il che non è un guaio se non hai qualche problema da risolvere.

My wife and I just got back from spending a pleasant week in NYC at the Sugar Hill Inn. The Inn is located in Harlem (don't let that scare you) and is conveniently located within easy walking distance to a subway station, so getting pretty much anywhere in the city is fairly easy. The neighborhood is very pleasant, the Satchmo Room is large and spacious. Jeremy and Bernadette are very good hosts....this is not a B&B where you are smothered by attention. Jeremy and Bernadette provide great suggestions on restaurants and sites but otherwise are very low key. Will definately stay at the Sugar Hill Inn next time we are in NYC.

I stayed at the Convent Avenue location of the Sugar Hill Harlem Inn. Although initially disappointed not to be able to stay at the main location, I really liked this location, especially the residential neighborhood and the proximity (only a block away) from the A-train express, which is extremely easy and convenient. As a woman travelling alone, with business in midtown, this was a perfect set-up for me: I felt safe, the lodgings were roomy, and it was much quieter than the places I usually stay in midtown when visiting NY. One big plus is the big, well-appointed kitchen that guests may use. Guests also may walk to the other location for full breakfast service. But I preferred making my own bowl of oatmeal and being on the go. I will definitely be back and have already strated recommending the place to my friends and colleagues.

I will keep a fabulous memory of my stay at Sugar Hill Harlem Inn with my husband and ten childhood friends; Jeremy’s warm welcome; the smile and availability of Bernadette; the house furnished in good taste; the mass at the Macedonian Baptist Church; and the squirrels outside our windows.

I stayed at the 2nd venue of Sugar HIll Harlem's B&B. My room was beautiful, the staff was warm, welcoming & thoughtful. The location was extraordinarily conveinent situated between the Express A train & the 100 bus. I highly recommend it. At first I thought I was at a disadvantage since my room wasn't in the main guest house, but I didn't feel at any loss as Bernadine accomodated my needs. Jeremy went out of his way to ensure I had my room key although I missed my scheduled flight. All in all, I would recommend Sugar Hill Inn and plan to see if I can get a room, in the 2nd location, for New Years!

Beautiful Victorian architecture and antiques... if you appreciate either of these you will definitely want to stay here. The owner is very friendly and takes wonderful care of the guests and the room looked exactly like the picture-- which is important. The "Lena" room, so-called because of the large portrait photo of her, was comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated, and was warm enough to block the New York cold from the room. If you are sick of sterile, impersonal hotels, this is the place to stay.

I cannot say enough nice things about the Sugar Hill Harlem Inn and its owners, Jeremy and Bernadette. I stayed at the SHHI's brand new outpost, in a renovated brownstone about 5 blocks from its main B&B, and it was warm and welcoming. A shared kitchen downstairs was accessible and convenient, while my room was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and felt like a personal oasis. But it was the service that really makes this place stand out. Not only did Jeremy personally hook-up a DVD player in my room and allow me to borrow a cell phone for the duration of my visit, but when I had my wallet stolen on my first night (not in Harlem, I should mention, but 59th & Lex!), he generously came to my rescue. He offered me enough cash to enable me to enjoy my stay in the city, and trusted that I would indeed pay him back as soon as I could access funds. You can't get that in a hotel! The breakfast, courtesy Bernadette, was lovely, and the relaxed, friendly vibe in the main room was shared by everyone from fellow guests to the sassy grey cat. As promised, the subway stop was convenient and the express train fast. As a single woman, furthermore, I felt safe and comfortable in the neighborhood. I can't wait to go back.

Like many travellers, we wanted to find a good and reasonable accomodations in NYC not too far away from the sites. So many of the hotels in midtown, village, etc. were tiny and, in our price range, not so great. The Sugar Hill Inn of Harlem is worth its weight in gold! A mere five or so blocks from the 145th A Train stop in a lovely neighborhood of brownstones and the City College, we had a fabulous stay at this B&B. Jeremy and Bernadette provide a friendly, informative and comfortable stay. We stayed in the Satchmo room, air-conditioned, a fireplace, deck, king sized bed, and private bathroom, and basically felt like the luckiest tourists! The express A train takes 15 minutes to travel its 3 stops to 42nd, and was very safe. All this, plus Jeremy is committed to doing everything he can to function in an environmentally responsible manner. Many thanks to Jeremy and Bernadette for a memorable and easy-going stay. We loved it!

My husband, seven year old daughter and myself enjoyed 4 nights at Sugar Hill in June. Jeremy and Bernadette were wonderful hosts, and were especially kind with our daughter. Our room (MIles) was spacious and beautifully furnished. The subway is a couple of minutes walk away, and we had no trouble getting around. There was a kitchen in our room, so we were able to prepare meals and pack lunches. Parking is nearby, safe and free! If you are fairly self-sufficient, and are looking for something different from the overpriced impersonal hotel room in Manhattan, then I'd highly recommend Sugar Hill.

OK, so you want to do NY and you want it to be extra special. Why not stay in Harlem? It's true, our yellow cab driver from JFK did not want to let us out (the cab) before calling in (the Inn). Awfully nice of him but there came Bernadette at the door, all smiles and security! It was a very special beginning of a wonderful Harlem week. Sugar Hill brought us a touch of home and a world of warmth. Both Jeremy and Bernadette managed to give us the notion of being truthfully welcome. How can they with hundreds of guests a year?! We loved the simple breakfast at the round table downstairs, that could do with a little more eggs but brought us lots of interesting contacts with other guests. As for the accomodation, after a back breaking trip up three flights with heavy bags we were thrilled by the space and the warm atmosphere of the top floor. Just over 300 dollars a night for two bed rooms, a grand kitchen, a living room and lots of walking space!! Where can you find that in New York? Well, in Harlem, where we felt perfectly safe untill we got lost walking around at 1.30 a.m. Don't copy that. The jazz at the Apollo was great and so were the people who were proud and happy to see us join in.

Sugar Hill has an enticing web site and the reality doesn't disappoint - on the contrary it delights. The house has been painstakingly restored by owner Jeremy (N.Yorker from N. Ireland), grand rooms have original cornices, fireplaces, good beds, spotless linen, constant hot water, aircon, irons, fridges and all that Jazz - which theme (Jazz) lends an extra kick - dedicated rooms, Satchmo, Lena, Ella, with evocative photos (paintings an acquired taste). This is Harlem after all, beguiling,bursting with life and warmth,with the Subway (safe) moments away, the A express to midtown fast. Best is feeling yoursef a valued guest in a private home, all needs attended to,(ask nicely!), breakfast generous, (thanks Bernadette)chatter easy, often fascinating, always informative, though actually it's not a private home...There's Smokey the cat (opinionated) and the guests. Their home, YOUR home for the duration, the calm and space always good to get back to after time in the more raucous parts of NY. We (daughter & I) miss its almost-eccentricity already, wouldn't fail to recommend it. Actually we do, we do. And we would, unhesitatingly, go back.

The Sugar Hill Harlem Inn provided a comfortable place for us to stay, and the opportunity to make some new friends like Bernadette, Jeremy and Smoky the Cat. We stayed in the third floor suite, and though what a wonderful apartment that would make. We also rifled through Jeremy's book collection a bit, and enjoyed the classic woodwork of the building. Our rooms were always clean and Bernadette and Jeremy could always be reached when we needed anything (better just to call the cell number than to try searching through that big old house though). Cabs came quickly, usually within a minute or two, and there was a nice little restaurant for lunch just up around the corner. We walked the neighborhood and felt very comfortable. It was a fun experience which we won't forget. For those needing to stay in this area of New York I would recommend it.

I came to NY as a member of our Stella Book Club's 5th anniversary. It was a first time visit for most of the 11 of us and we rented out this entire Bed & Breakfast. I must say this B&B was INCREDIBLE! I was blown away at the decor and even more pleased with the service. I didn't feel like I was staying at a Bed & Breakfast. I felt like I was visiting family. Our every need was catered to and met beyond my expectations. I very much enjoyed myself and every room is absolutely beautiful. The ONLY draw back for me were the STAIRS! I was on the top floor and going up and down the stairs was a killer BUT the rooms are well worth the climb. PLUS I'm in a little better shape today because of all those stairs. I would highly recommend this place. Jeremy and Bernadette were an absolutely delight. You will be more than pleased with this place and it's surroundings.

For the party, we had the full run of the bottom floor, from the lobby area to the main living/dining room to the kitchen and out back to the wonderfully landscaped small garden. You can read in Jeremy's blog how he brought plants and wood to make the garden. It was my daughter's Bat Mitzvah party, with about 30 kids and 20 adults. Bernadette and Goldy helped throughout the party and cleaned up afterwards. Goldy even went out to get more ice. They couldn't have been more helpful during the party and everyone had the best time. The place just has such a wonderful atmosphere, everyone felt special. Highly recommended for an unforgettable party.

The Satchmo Room is a beautiful room with a nice porch. But, for those who travel to BnB's often, the service and hospitality is not what one would expect. There is no common room, even though shown in the pix. It is for the staff, and only open for you to walk through to the dining room. Our first morning we were only served toast for breakfast. Another table was eating, so we waited patiently--finding out that they brought in their own food. We were not told when we checked in that we must bring our own food, or to make a special request. The street is charming, but you must be street smart, and not walk around at night.

We got so much for what we paid: a friendly and caring staff, a large and gorgeous bedroom with an amazing bathroom AND a personal porch. Jeremy, the owner, was very helpful with questions about the area. Benadette, the innkeeper, was charming and professional. We will stay there whenever we go to New York. It is very close to the subway, which made it very easy to get around. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone.

I truly enjoyed my stay at thios wonderful inn. Not only were the appointments first class, the service was both personal and professional. I can't wait for the next occasion where I can enjoy the warm hospitality of the Sugar Hill Harlem Inn

I would say when in New York you MUST stay at the Suger Hill.

This charmingly restored brownstone is on a quiet tree-lined residential street, in a beautiful neighborhood close to City College. The decor combines real antiques with great original artwork.
