Absolutely great location at a reasonable price. Rooms are very small, but its NYC and thats to be expected. Staff was great and Samantha was wonderful to deal with and very accommodateing. Only big negative is the thermostats in the rooms are pointless. Both of our rooms were way too hot even in Dec. With no functional way to adjust the temp. We used the thermostat and it did nothing. Informed the staff one morning and they said the heat would be off for the day and it would cool down. And it did, but shot right back up by that evening when we were ready for bed.2 nights it was almost too unbearable to sleep.

Great place, friendly staff (thank you Wilma!)
The room and the things in it were clean. The bed seemed a bit wonky at first but I slept deep through the night. The staff was incredibly kind. We checked in early and checked out late. Wilma went above and beyond to be hospitable. She explained to us how the coffee machine worked, and helped us with check in, check out, and even stored out bags for a couple of hours while we got breakfast. I will definitely come back. And the reason I am coming back is because of the great staff, like Wilma! Thanks, Wilma!

I had an amazing stay at Chelsea Inn! The staff were exceptionally kind, friendly, and helpful, which made the experience truly memorable. The hospitality alone makes this one of the best places to stay. I also appreciated the complimentary snacks at the front desk a thoughtful touch! The rooms, while on the smaller side, were impeccably clean and felt cozy and comfortable. The location is unbeatable, with easy access to the subway and nearby attractions, making it perfect for exploring the city. The only downside was the lack of an elevator, which made carrying a heavy suitcase up the stairs a bit of a challenge. However, this was a minor inconvenience compared to the overall experience. I would absolutely stay here again!

My son and I loved our stay there. The only thing I would let anyone know is they do not have an elevator so if you cannot get up the stairs make sure you get the bottom floor. The staff were very helpful and great. The room was bigger than I thought it would be from the pictures.

Bryce

Disliked: Staff & service
The accommodation advertised space for bags to be left before checking into the room but it wasn’t until after booking that I was notified they would not be able to hold bags. Also that there wouldn’t be a front desk attendant until 1pm, despite advertising there being one from 8am-5pm. I tried to call and schedule an early check in around 8am and was told to call back around 12pm, which I did and was then told the room would not be ready until “sometime around 4pm”. So I was forced to carry my luggage through New York for several hours until I was able to check into my room. This was a terrible way to start my trip, extremely inconvenient and unacceptable.

Loved the Chelsea Inn!!! I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a safe stay in NYC, I’ll definitely be returning to stay here!!! The vibes were so cute!!! Looking from pictures online to seeing it in person, it’s exactly what you expect. It’s nice cozy & warm!!! It definitely left a last impression on me, it’s easily accessible through the subway and walking and cvs is right around the corner if you need anything fast and last minute!
