  : Nice staff and great location.
  : There‘s an extra charge for everything, even just leaving your bags there after checkout. Room was very minimal and smelled pretty weird for the first day, perhaps they should change their cleanser.

  : Great location. Clean room. Incredibly friendly staff
  : Slightly cramped space for four people. Window AC units working overtime to keep temps only marginally cool and it was only mid-May. It looked like there was once a mini split in the room but it had burned up.

  : Room shockingly bad. The bathroom sink area was 18-20" wide. There were mites/fleas in the bed. Something that gave me about 20 bites. Size bedroom area approx ft 7 wide one old bed. one bedside shaky table. no where to place my luggage (suitcase) except on lino covered floor. one plastic chair. no wardrobe....a wall rail All furniture ancient and unreliable. The tap fell into the sink when l turned it on. As l was there for 2 nights l asked to be moved to another room for night no.2 (as in NY its difficult to find another hotel at such short notice.) There was a great reluctance by the manager to do this. Eventually l left hotel for the day not sure if l would be moved that night. The hotel later contacted me to say they would move me. I am omitting a LOT of detail and just giving you bare outline. No breakfast or no food /drinks available or served at any time. No drinking Glass/tumbler in room. Baby cup supplied as Tumbler on request for glass. No bedside light. At no stage did anyone empathise or apologise to me on behalf of Chelsea Pines

  : The reception staff are very responsive and professional
  : There are no perfect rooms in this hotel. as you can see from the reviews, either the room is high or noisy. mine was on the first floor and quiet, but with smells (I still didn’t understand where it came from, either from the ventilation, or because of old age), on the other hand, given the crazy prices in New York, this is not a bad option. you just need to know what you're getting into

Fair

  : Location, air conditioning, the shower, the decorating—movie posters & red pops of color—were all great. Staff friendly and helpful as well.
  : Very small/cramped. Lobby is tiny, our room was tiny; hard to unpack clothes and have a place to put them. Only a full-size bed. Not a big deal that there is no elevator in the five story building – – until it’s 100° outside and you’re staying on the fifth floor :-). My husband felt the whole hotel needed to be painted and updated.

  : The area (Chelsea) was perfect to discover NYC , being central and animated,yet not too noisy.
  : A bit “old style” place .
