It has one room for girls only and a larger one for the rest, with about 15 beds in the basement with no windows which makes the place a little smelly depending on the guests. The mattress could be thicker but the linen are clean. The common room is small, that can be a problem if the hostel is full... More

Also the next day we could leave all our stuff in the Hostel and could pick it up in the eve... More

I've read some reviews of the Chelsea here and I find them a little unfair in their condemnation - I've stayed at the Chelsea three times, once in this location and twice at the old site on E14th Street, and on every occasion, i've had a great time. The best thing about this hostel, both now and in the past,... More

Very well located, the Chelsea center is a small hostel where you can enjoy a friendly and personal atmosphere. The staff is lovely and always ready to help: you will feel really safe. Every morning, a light breakfast is provided, and it's the best moment to get to know people and make new friends. Chelsea center offers then a different... More
