You get what you pay for. The beds are very uncomfortable and the room is tiny but if you are just sleeping there it does the job. No elevator means you’re going to get your steps in which isn’t horrible unless you’re like my parents with bad knees. The location is amazing though! Close to the subway and in a beautiful area

Perfect for a weekend in the city!

We loved it. This was the perfect spot for an affordable stay in Manhattan. It was simple, no frills. We spent all our time out in the city, so we only needed the basics and the Chelsea Inn met every one of them!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I would give this zero stars if I could. My flight was delayed so I got there pretty late, but there was absolutely no one at the front desk. Apparently whoever was working that night was away “restocking” something, but I was greeted by someone who didn’t even work there and was clearly high on something. When I got up to the hotel, it looked like they did the bare minimum of picking up and making the bed, but I highly question whether or not anything was clean. One of the bathroom towels still felt damp. I had to leave abruptly due to a family emergency, so I checked out via text message since there’s pretty much never anyone working at the front desk. I was told I would be getting a refund for the days I didn’t stay, but I have yet to see the refund. Avoid this place at all costs. Spring for a nicer hotel. Trust me.

This is the second time I’ve stayed at the property. Both times I had a similar Nile room with private bath. The first time I was on the third floor and the room was small but perfect. This time I asked to stay on a lower floor so I wouldn’t have to carry my bag upstairs. I ended up on the first floor right across from the reception desk, which turned out to be a bit noisy. Also the room was a little shabbier and had no bedside light, just the overhead light which I had to get up to turn off and then walk through the dark to get back in bed. Also the blow dryer in the bathroom didn’t work. It turns out it was the plug. But since the dryer is attached to the wall and there was only one outlet I couldn’t move it to another plug. When I went out to ask for assistance around 8am the desk was empty. I ended up just letting my hair air dry. Next time I’ll bring my own. I will stay at the Chelsea Inn again. It’s very conveniently located and the price is very good for the city.

Everything was perfect! Rooms were nice and warm - there are no elevators but that wasn't a problem for us (it only took two flights of stairs for our room which is fine lol) The hotel is super close to many subway tunnels that head towards tourist attractions. Staff was chill :)
