Small room and somewhat shabby but friendly staff and a spotless bathroom. This is a commercial block so you can't park all day M-F but from 6PM Friday until Monday at 9AM you can stay without moving or paying anything. This is a 4 flight walk-up and with 12 foot ceilings between floors, there are a lot of steps. We... More

Is small and a little basic but for the price and location is a good bet for your Tay in NYC. I don't usually like a shared bathroom but this want an issue at all as its right outside the too and was always available and clean.

I've stayed at the Chelsea Inn twice, once in August of 2012 and again in March of 2013, both times with a friend and in a twin bed room with a shared bath. I was a little bit hesitant about a shared bath but as it turns out I had no need to worry. The bathroom is shared with just... More

Recently stayed here with another couple we had separate rooms and shared one bath between us which worked out very nicely. Very clean, small rooms in the front. We did not find it too noisy. Lumpy beds in my room, but my friends said their bed was comfortable. A great location for seeing lower and mid town. Breakfast vouchers (pastry... More

After traveling for six weeks (& having had great-exceptional accommodation) it was inevitable that we were going to get one less than wonderful hotel. This hotel has a great location (between 5th and 6th Avenue) - and that's the only thing going for it. We had a room on ground floor that was dank & musty. The mattress felt like... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to review our property. We wish all of the reviews we receive will be positive, however sometimes we fail in our services and sometimes we have guests with very high expectations. Having those guests is a good experience because any criticism makes us working even harder to meet all customers’ needs. We... More

My husband and I didn't not choose this hotel since it was a business trip and his company was paying for it. That being said, I would have left as soon as I saw the place. Upon arriving I asked the front desk if she could send someone out to help with a very heavy item we had, I was... More

The Chelsea Inn has a great location. The neighborhood is safe and has a lot of interesting sites nearby. Also there are 4 subway stations that are very close. The staff is wonderful. The price is very inexpensive and even includes breakfast. And the hotel itself is vintage and charming and clean. The only downfall is the noise. There is... More

Remember, at these low prices, you will not get a 5 star experience, but then again, you wouldn't be reading this if you wanted a 5 star New York Hotel. First, extraordinary location, walk to LOTS of places, including several subway options. Walk to Union Square which is always amazing. Second, I always feel safe in the area and on... More

The enticing aspect of this hotel is the price, it's really hard to find great rates in this area of NYC. I enjoyed my stay here on several occasions and found it to be warm and homey. The area is safe and the building is secure. The location is just perfect, close to everywhere you want to go in Manhattan.... More
