We stayed in a double room with shared bathroom. Both very very clean and more than decent size for the price you pay. We got a room on the back of the buiding and the night hours were incredibly quite...we've never thought that so quite places existed in NY. We definetely suggest this place!

I had a lovely time at the Chelsea Inn. Friendly staff, clean rooms. Top it off with the central location and you can not wish for anything more...Oh, the 'take-away-breakfast' from Nana's is both smart and delicious!

Great location, staff were friendly. It was right near one of the best gay night clubs, loads of fun, but very noisy on those nights you needed to stay in. Breakfast down stairs was simple, but delicious. Bathroom clean and the room was cleaned and tidied everyday. Stayed a week and it proved a great base to shop, party and see the sights. Would go back if on a budget again.

We stayed 10 days in this hotel and it was really okay. They cleaned every day, so it was pretty clean and the bath towels has been changed every day too. We had a twin bed room and shared the bath room with the room next door. The room is tiny but absolutly okay and the bath sharing was fine too. Breakfast was included and we enjoyed it every morning! :-) (a fresh pastry, coffee and a fruit or a fruit juice) I can really recommend this hotel, the relation of price and service was fine. Next time I am in NYC I am going to stay there again.

The location is brilliant and the character of the old building is very New York. So we cannot speak highly enough of th Chelsea Inn in that respect. We also found the place to be spotless. However I personally do have one major gripe, and woudl warn you to make sure you really will get teh accommodation you have booked: I made teh online booking at elast a month aehad of our arrival. I chose the Chealsea Inn becuase of previous reccomendations and because of the price - I am not rich and price was a big concern. We were promised a double bed and a shared bathromm, however when I emailed one night before our arrival to confirm our booking, I was told that fro watever reason (none given) our room was not available and we woudl have to settle for signle beds and a shared bathroom. A double bed had been what I was after, and I had chosen a room with a shared bathroom as a preference over single beds. I was unhappy that I had not been advised of this change ahead of time, as I would have then booked somewhere else. So I emailed the Inn to see what else, if anything, they could offer. I received an email in reply to say that a studio, with its own bathroom, was avalable. I emailed about the price and then emailed again to confirm the price. In my email I stated that I wanted to know the total in comparison to teh total we were to be paying for the room we had already booked. The reply I received was £179 in total. With this we arrived at teh Chealse Inn, settled down only to be told that the "total" had been the total for the night, and not THE total. Due to it being St Patrick's weekend and us arriving so alte and having not been to New York I decided that tehre was no point arguing. But at the cost of having to pay THREE TIMES the amount I had been expecting. Needless to say, this came as a huge shock. My boyfriend insisted it had been a misunderstanding but I am convinced it was not and I felt really cheated. Our "studio" was nothign more than a big room with a double bed and shower/toilet. Very clean and warm, but nothing spectacular. We were still out facing the street adn right next door to a gay night club that pumped music all night long and we still had to listen to the pipeworks throughout the night. So while I would recommend this place, especially if you like to get a taste of New York and you have lots of spare cash, I think that if you are as naive as me then do make sure you email ahead to confirm the booking and do make sure if there is a change in anythign you have a total cost breakdown before you arrive. If you cannot afford to spend too much you may find yourself on the top floor somewhere, with many steps to climb - there are no elevators.
