The room was small but clean. Little shelf space. Had to ask for a microwave to be brought to our room. Hit my head numerous times on the awkwardly placed TV. BUT! This place was so convenient. Right by the subway and so many amazing restaurants and shops. Yeah the tv was in a weird spot but at least there was one! Staff was super helpful on tips and getting us checked in. The AC was beautiful in the summer. Would definitely stay again!

The location is great. Close to a subway stop and many restaurants and bars. Very clean and well kept. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room we had was small but layed out great. Small fridge, coffee maker, and shampoo soap in the room. AC was great and had a ceiling fan. Bed was ok size but not very comfortable. That is the only down thing I have to say.

This is a budget hotel. Having said this, the Chelsea Inn has everything but food service. The property is very clean and well maintained. The staff is stand out amazing. My room on the fifth floor didn’t have a window, two skylights instead. Sharing a bathroom, while weird at first, was no big deal. No elevator but there was always someone around to carry my bags down. I usually stay at the Park Central but if just passing through NYC again I’ll book this hotel. Again, the staff is amazing. ♥️♥️

The room was not properly cleaned. The bathroom had visible stains, there was no shampoo or conditioner provided, and there was a significant amount of dust underneath the bed.

The bedroom had a very small window that was blocked by a piece of furniture, preventing natural light and fresh air from entering. The room felt dark, enclosed, and uncomfortable.

Additionally, some members of the staff were not particularly friendly or welcoming

The location was excellent, between 5th and 6th Avenues, cclose to East Village, Greenwich etc.
The staff were all really helpful.
Clean and quiet room, I was on the ground floor with 2 children,it was so quiet.
There was even a free coffee pod machine at reception.
Clean room and you just change your own towels daily if you want.
I stayed 3 nights and we had a more expensive hotel on the LES for 3 nights. We all agreed we would rather have stayed on at the Chelsea Inn instead.

our AC in the room was broken. The person working the desk on night 1 was really helpful and brought us a box fan but couldn’t get us maintenance help until the morning so we slept in like 80 degree heat on the first night. Second night, they brought in a AC unit, but something happened to someone checking in where they didn’t know which room was theirs and they accidentally walked into ours? Why do they have the same code for every room????? ABSURD. DONT stay here

Overall we had a good experience but I don't think we'd stay there again unless it was a last resort. It was in a decent location but you still had to walk quite a bit to get to the subways, etc. There were two small entrances and people were frequently sitting on the stairs so it made it challenging to get in and out. There are no elevators so be prepared to lug your luggage up at least one or two steep flights of stairs (we were on the 3rd floor). Also, we were there in June and it was hot outside and the AC in our room struggled to keep up. It was bearable but not necessarily comfortable. There was a private bathroom in our room with a shower so that was good. The couch / futon was visibly soiled/ stained with old gunk so that wasn't great. Overall, again, we had a decent stay but wouldn't return.

Its a small room with attached private bathroom. Pretty useful and reasonable priced for manhattan. Best for sleeping it off otherwise not much space. But the location is wonderful being so close to union square and other such places.

The room was clean, simple yet comfortable. I had to spend a whole day inside it during the big blizzard. The afternoon before I stopped by the Trader Joes 3 blocks up the road and got provisions to \"shelter in place\". By the evening it was impossible to go out, so the fridge, microwave and coffee pot were just perfect. The staff was great too. I was on the 4th floor and there was no elevator, so staff helped me carry stuff up. They also have complimentary snacks and coffee at reception. The Inn is well located, and fine for sitting out a blizzard!

put in my credit card info and had to take a picture of it as well as my ID and a day later i get a $132 and $432 charge for concert resale tickets, what a coincidence. save yourself the time and don’t stay here. i knew something was fishy when they wanted a photo of my card info. card number, expiration date and cvv. protect yourself and be smart. or you’re gonna regret it. not to mention the blood stained sheet me and my bf slept on and didn’t notice till the next morning and load moaning sounds coming from a floor or so down. the people at the front desk were none existent most of the time and when requested a refund they denied.

The woman at the front desk was great. 2 funny observations: Had to put the coffee maker on the floor for the plug to reach an outlet. I really dislike flavored creamer for my coffee and that's all that was available.
Also great location, I love that part of NYC

The staff was friendly. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The location was great.

The was one big problem. The draft coming off of the window was so cold that I had to move the bed away from it. This basically cut a very small room down to no floor space. I will probably avoid this location in the winter.

For the price, room was solid. Staff was very nice and they had some snacks out front too. My complaint was that we had to leave a day early because of the winter storm and i assumed they would give us a partial refund due to others having the same situation but they did not accommodate us. Overall would come back though.

Old building, had very old radiator that started banging violently at 3am
Windows are not sound resistant at all, noise wise it feels like you’re sleeping outside.
They should mention that there’s is no elevator.

The room was a million degrees it was actually crazy. The thermostat did not work at all. It was already so hot in the building but coming back to our room at night literally felt like walking into a sauna. It was radiator heating too so there was a hot ass pole in the corner of the room. I genuinely would not be surprised if this building burnt down one day. The check in process was weird too. I had to take like three different photos of my debit card and then enter all the information. Kinda worried I’m gonna get scammed. No elevators btw. Staff was nice enough though

The entry codes to the room and front were worked perfectly. Room was very clean. Shared bath was easily managed. The room was comfortable, however they should provide a bedside lamp. All the light switches are at the door. Room is pretty dark with no windows. The room had all the extras you would expect in a hotel. It was located in a good area easily accessible from the 18th street subway station.

It's an old hotel, and you can hear all the noise from outside and from the other rooms. There's no elevator, and you have to be careful with the heating unit because it can burn you. The rooms are small but comfortable. You have to pay extra if you want housekeeping, but the location is EXCELLENT.
