Hadn't stayed so far downtown before and really appreciated the location of this little hotel. Luckily I'd read plenty of reviews so knew all about the lack of lift - and staying on the top floor, we definitely got a decent work out going up and down four flights of stairs on a regular basis, particularly with our luggage on...

Well, after searching for a hotel in NYC, I came to the conclusion that nothing less then $100 would be found in Manhattan. Manhattan is just VERY pricy! If your planning a big shopping spree in New York with 2 suitcases which we can still take traveling overseas, remember that this hotel has no elevator. The single room which I... More

My daughter and I stayed at the Chelsea Inn for 9 nights. Recent comments on TripAdvisor helped me make the decision to stay here, and are generally accurate. We had a room on the 4th floor at the back of the building. There is a restaurant and nightclub on each side of Chelsea Inn both of which have open courtyards,... More

We recently stayed in The Chelsea Inn, NY. Great communication before we arrived and friendly staff when we got there. Rooms are basic but very clean and the location was perfect for seeing NY. Close to the subway, parks, shopping. Good cafes nearby, free wifi. Budget hotel, but a terrific place to see NY.Would happily recommend- did not see the... More

Stayed here April 2012 in a 4th-floor walkup. The other reviews seem pretty accurate to me: the shared bathroom's not much of a problem (like many others, I never even saw the people I was sharing with); the rooms are okay, in the sense of not being horrifying or bug-ridden. The location is the biggest asset. But it's just so... More

The place is quite decent. It is fairly clean albeit old look and feel, and pretty quiet (our room faces the inside, though). Two units share one bath, and each unit has its own faucet inside the room so you don't have to go the the shared bath for brushing teeth etc. Also there's a frig, but we unplugged to... More

I have stayed at the Chelsea Inn several times over the past 10 years and am sorry to say it is slipping a bit. The carpet and top bed spreads simply need replaced or really cleaned. Replacing top bed spreads would be one cheap fix. The bath rooms were very clean and well kept as usual. I'm sorry but the... More

A small but centrally located hotel. Positive side that it has internet, breakfast and there is a refrigerator. Negatively is that there are narrow stairs and no elevator. More

Don't stay here if you are looking for a luxury stay in NYC, but if you are willing to cut some corners to save money, this place is wonderful. It seems like they took an apartment building and transformed it into an inn. The only issue we had was that the toilet broke the first night, but they had it... More
