I think this is a great choice and great value for the location. Basically like a hotel but with shared bathrooms. My one complaint is that I was never able to establish wifi on my one night stay. They never got back to me with a solution, but they were friendly and hospitable. Great restaurants a block away.

It's mid-March, so didn't need it. Arthur was polite and helpful. My room was clean and comfortable. The location was fine, there were bikes and scooters avaliable for rent to do more extensive roaming.

The location was outstanding for our needs near Central Park, and near the subway to get to our Broadway show. The service was very friendly and responsive to our needs. Our room, however, was better suited for a single traveler, and the biggest issue was a very soft mattress that neither one of us slept well on.

I read the mixed reviews and chose Macaw Guesthouse anyway - I am glad that I did. It was a reasonable option in expensive New York City and it was as described. Charming hosts who went out of their way to welcome me and ensure that I was comfortable. Short walk to transportation options and dining options nearby. Highly recommend and would stay again.

They went above and beyond for us. 1) They came out and helped us find parking and gave us a tour of the facility. 2) THEY SHIPPED MY LOST WALLET TO WHERE I WAS STAYING! They have gone above and beyond. Very clean and very kind highly recommend!

Not the Waldorf Astoria and a bit pricey but NY city is expensive. The room was adequate for me and it was just a couple of blocks from the presentation I was attending...so it was convenient. The staff was nice and the house and kitchen accessible to the guests. The bed was very comfortable. Building dates back to the 1930s according to the family who owns the guesthouse so it is an older building which does show. Bring your toiletries but they do provide towels. You need to share an outside bathroom. Also it can be a bit noisy outside your window since a city train is close to the building and also they are doing construction on the block. Still I was satisfied with the convenience of staying at the guesthouse.

Host was very friendly and helpful. The room was cozy and simple, exactly what I needed for this trip, and everything seemed clean and easy to navigate. There is an excellent pizza place down the street and the building wasn't far from the subway or from buses. Had a great experience and would stay again!

Could not stay there to a point where I had to find another hotel and no refund for the prepaid 4 nights. Expedia should not be listing such guesthouses.

Liked: Amenities
My room was overbooked, so I ended up on a cot in the front of the main room, which was very noisy with people coming and going. Fortunately one of the staff was there to let me in, because I called the phone number and couldn't reach anyone. There is a hot tub in the property photos, but it wasn't available. They offer free coffee, but what they had was a coffee maker and only instant coffee - which don't work together. The host was very accommodating due to the situation, but with everything I experienced, I wouldn't suggest staying there for what they charge.

The lady was very rude and denied me entry to stay at her house because I was “disrespectful” and “hung up on her while on the phone”. The interior of the living room was dusty and very old fashioned, and there were men swearing at each other the moment I walked in onto the sac to sit. The woman later threatened to file a police report on me when I called her to ask for a refund. Overall, the owner seems like an angry person and the interior left much to be desired.

Cleaning staff admitted to taking my beer from the refrigerator. Gave a run around about being paid later...never got my beer and the staff was no where to be seen. Don't leave your belongings or staff will help themselves and act nice about it.

It depends on what you're looking for. If you want fancy, amenities, this isn't for you. If you're looking for an affordable alternative to stay in Manhattan that is clean, with great owners, in a quiet, safe neighborhood, and just worried about a place to lay your head for the night, then this is the place for you. Being in East Harlem, it's a 3 block walk off the 6 train (2 down and 1 over), we found several excellent places in the area to eat that were clean, with good portions, at prices cheaper than I can eat in CT. We had an excellent experience, and will be staying here again in the future

AWFUL. Pics out of date. Property NOT as described. Dirty and disheveled. Did not receive room I paid extra for. No water in. “Hot tub”. Hosts entered my locked room when I was gone and moved my belongings to a room without a lock. Then accused me of stealing their key when I left it in the lockbox I originally took it from upon arrival.

The host was kind, but the environment did not feel calm or secure during my stay. There was noticeable commotion when I arrived, and after reviewing past guest feedback, I realized this was not an isolated experience. I ended up leaving early and booking alternative accommodations. This may work for some, but it wasn’t the right fit for me, and I wouldn’t recommend it for travelers who prioritize quiet and a sense of safety.
