I stayed here for 10 nights, had two rooms respectively, both about the same size. The hotel was was old, but well maintained and perfectly clean. Shower was also good, and clean. And yes, the restroom is shared down the hall. But it is right in the heart of Chelsea, NYC, and just 3 blocks from the nearest subway. All... More

Wonderful small hotel...very inexpensive so keep you expectations on the modest side. Room was very clean. We stayed in a small sunny room facing the street. Street noise was very low. Very good location. My wife and I will stay there again.

A nice building with some character in a quiet street of desirable Chelsea. If you are unwilling to pay NYC's extortionate hotel fees, and you don't mind a shared WC and a small room (but clean, with sink and shower), then this may be the hotel for you. Try to avoid the ground floor rooms, perhaps too close to the... More

Beautiful two story building in a quite & green street just around the corner from 8th avenue and thereby in walking distance to good restaurants, bars, stores... all you need. Rooms are quite small and shared WC is on the hall, but everything is very nice and clean. Close to Chelsea Pier and the Highline - my favorite of the... More

The rooms are rather small but clean. Showers are in the room but the toilets are shared per floor. Location is good near Chelsea Market and the High Line. Staff is friendly and helpful. All in all good value for the money. Subway is 3 blocks away.

Remember, you're not getting the Waldorf, so try to manage expectations. True, the rooms are small, toilets are outside the rooms, but be real! If you want a great location at a reasonable econmical price (for NYC), then the Chelsea is worth considering.

After a seven hour flight we were keen on getting the quiet room we had requested. It was not to be. Jeff (who had some rather serious personal hygiene issues) put us into a tiny tiny front room where we could hear everything going on in the street below, all the cars all the trucks, just nonstop noise. In desperation... More

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience while staying w/ us. We are sorry you found the neighborhood to be noisy - it's one of the quieter in Manhattan. We are now stocking earplugs at the front desk just in case guests feel the need for them. How crazy is this.... several of our staff made... More
