The Sugar Hill Harlem Inn is located on the high-cliffs overlooking Jackie Robinson Park and Central Harlem. This recently restored Victorian brownstone was built in 1906. It is minutes away from the campuses of both City College and Columbia University, and a short train ride away from the Cloisters. Our rooms have been tastefully decorated by Interior designer Carol Donawa, using musically inspired themes and photographs to weave the unique history and cultural traditions of the African diaspora.

Staying at Sugar Hill Harlem Inn made our stay in New York extra enjoyable. My intuitions were right when I chose this guesthouse for a 13 night stay in Manhatten. My sister and I felt we were coming home at the end of each busy day. Luxurious beds and decor that could top any 5-star hotel. Lovely big quiet rooms and a wonderful interesting host who attracts lovely people to his house. People eat together at breakfast at one huge oblong table, It is lovely that stangers from all over the world meet and talk and find things in common. Jeremy, the owner, sincerely enjoys his work and is willing to invest much of his own time getting to know his guests and baking wonderful treats for them to enjoy,

My Lover and I thoroughly enjoyed our staycation at Sugar Hill. We are both native New Yorkers who love Harlem and were pleased with the central location. The block it's on is very safe, no parking is allowed and we saw City College (located a few blocks away) security patrolling the streets constantly. Around the corner are a few cafes and delis in case you're not interested in having breakfast at the Inn. We were not. The block is lined with beautiful brownstones full of architectural beauty. Once inside, Jeremy greeted us and we checked in. Everything looked as it did on the website and Smokey the cat was a delight for us cat fans! We stayed in Satchmos room and were not disappointed. The room is beautiful with a futon in addition to the bed, a huge bathroom, a deep tub, separate shower and outside deck. The room was equipped with a heater, a/c, stereo (cd's and ipod docking station), tv, dvd player, shoe shine kit, his and hers robes, iron, hair dryer, fridge, microwave, dishware, safe, books, towels, cleaning supplies etc. Everything we needed. I always wipe everything down before I unpack and am happy to report it almost seemed unnecessary. My anal self had to do it anyway but my cleaning cloths showed no dirt! Even checked the bed for any evidence of bed bugs and found nothing! We did not run into anyone else during our stay though people were definitely staying above us. We specifically asked not to have room service so I cannot comment on that or the breakfast. All in all a clean, quiet and comfortable stay. We loved it so much we are going back this weekend! Jeremy, Smokey and Sugar Hill Harlem Inn rock!!

My boyfriend and I stayed there for a week in December 2011, at Josephine's room. The Inn is excelent, the room was very confortable and it's just a 3 min walk from the subway. You can have home made wonderful breakfasts in there as you meet it's fine Irish owner. The surrounding area is very quiet and nice... don't miss the community service on sunday! Excelent value.

Innkeepers Description:
Riding my bicycle is number 1 because I do it every day..rain hail or shine. I collect randon things and then stop. Last year I collected American hand blown glass, that I placed along the wall of the dinning room on the ledge of the wood paneling. Then I collected some old photos and postcards of black men, women and children that I framed and then placed in the square box paneling below. I also have a small collection of black memorabilia on the mantle. I also collect books.

4.2 out of 5Best B&B on the Upper West Side
December 29, 2011
First time at any B &B and was very satisfied. Jeremy is the perfect host and everything was as it should be. Breakfast was a highlight. Slept well, the room was extremely quiet.
4.2 out of 5A cozy stay in New York
December 24, 2011
Very good solution to stay in New York. Out from the traffic jam of lower Manhattan, but very close to it (just 10 minutes by subway, that is closed to the B&B). The area is very quite and tranquil. It gives also the possibility to visit Harlem. Cozy environment, warm welcome and support by Jeremy, the owner. Excellent breakfast prepared in real time, each morning, by Jeremy, with delicious home-made chocolate chunk, salted biscuits, waffle, scrambled eggs, granola, .... an excellent way to start the day!
4.2 out of 5First visit to NYC
September 13, 2011
During our first visit to NYC, I was glad to have booked this B&B in stead of a hotel. At Sugar Hill Harlem Inn, you are treated as a guest, not a number. The approach is personal, the owner helps you finding your way around and is most helpful, whatever you need or ask. Rooms are tidy, spacious, although you don't have to look for the latest technologies. Excellent value for money
4.2 out of 5Good trip in Harlem with family and friends
August 24, 2011
Every thing was all right. Bernadette and Jeremy were very helpful. We appreciate a lot Harlem, the kindness of the people, the lovely houses, some restaurants there. If we did not rent this place in Harlem we would miss some thing rich. Thank you Bernadette and Jeremy

Signature Dish
Big Breakfast!
Breakfast:8.30-10.30am We make the most fantastic and unusual breakfast. Fruit, coffee tea, toast (special 5 grain health bread) butter and jam, orange juice and cereal which includes the usual fare, (cornflakes, cheerios and raison bran),but we also make homemade granola with all kinds of seeds and nuts and dried fruit. Then we cook Spanish torte, (eggs onions, peppers and potatoes) coffee cake (there's no coffee in coffee cake!) breakfast quesadilla with eggs ham and cheese, apple cake and surprises as I experiment with new recipes. And most important-philosophy (look for the glass of quotes in the middle of the table). We charge $5 per breakfast for all you can eat drink and philosophize about. -
