Harlem B & B

The location is #1 at this property. You are less than a 5 minute walk to the beach and a block from the main street. There is a lot to do in this area, and in my opinion this is one of the best areas on the island to be. The staff is very polite and helpful, but they are not always there - which isn't a problem, but should be noted in case you expect that. The price was reasonable compared to the other nearby locations, but it did come with some minor sacrifces. The water pressure was very weak, making showering and flushing toilets difficult. The bed was super firm, although I still got a decent nights sleep and the pillows are very small squares, like what you'd put on a sofa. This is not to complain, only to inform. The sheets are a bit scratchy and overall, you aren't getting anything more than what you're paying for, and the price difference between this and other nearby locations probably justifies these minor issues. Also to note, the birds outside are quite loud at night. Absolutely nothing the property can do about this, but it's worth noting that constant noise is present outside. You cannot hear street noise though, which was nice. One major benifit was the internet. If you work remotely, it appears they have fiber in the building because I consistently had no issues and could pull about 500mbps in each direction. This is amazing for hotel WiFi and well made up for the bedding and water. Again, staff was amazing and the location couldn't be beat for the price. All-in-all, I was happy with my stay.

Stayed here the first 2 or 3 nights. Very good location. Breakfast was included. The owner was very helpful. Rooms were nice, clean, spacious. Good low budget option for a few nights.

My experience at this B & B was no doubt unique, but I wish to share it because it far surpassed my expectations. At the end of our two-week vacation, my husband required hospitalization, which was a very stressful experience for both of us. I needed a place to stay that was quiet, comfortable and clean. When I saw Harlem B&B on the Expedia website, and noticed the favorable reviews, I decided to give it a try. It was exactly what I needed. My room was comfortable, clean, and decorated with fresh, sunny yellow walls that lifted my spirits. The staff were amazing. Latoya and Charlene were caring and kind. They sympathized with my situation and were there when I returned from my daily hospital visits. It almost felt as though they were family by the time I left. Scott, the owner, bent over backward to be accommodating. He also expressed empathy for my situation. The B&B sits virtually across the street from the Southern Palms Beach resort, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the beach and waves if you have a meal at their restaurant. My husband and I will stay here again the next time we visit this part of Barbados. It is also likely that my daughter and her boyfriend will do the same, when they visit Dover Beach. Thank you, Scott, Latoya, and Charlene for your incredible welcome and for all of your help and concern when I needed it.
