We were "upgraded" without our knowledge and then charged for it. We stayed for three days. Our room was a dungeon below street level. The walls are paper thin, and there was quite a bit of noise from other guests. The room was not clean. There were spots of what appeared to be blood above the sink in the bathroom,... more

The Chelsea Lodge is an attractive brownstone building, conveniently located only 2 blocks from the E train. We arrived on foot having walked from the empire state building via Union Sq. Park. Although it took us about 45 mins, we were surprised at how centrally the hotel was located - we used the subway after that though! We arrived early... more

A big thumbs up from me. My 10 night stay was great. I was given a room that looked out onto the back courtyard and the large window let in alot of natural light. My room was small, but for one person it was enough and I never felt claustrophobic. There was enough storage space to store my things without... more

The Chelsea Suites is an awesome place to stay. It is in a great neighborhood close to many great shops and restaurants. The bus and subway is super close. I stayed in the parlor suite closest to the street. The only drawback is the street noise. I would recommend a suite off of the street for the best experience. I... more

We stayed at this hotel in late April/ early May, in one of the ordinary rooms on the 1st floor. We got married in Central Park May 1st so part of the stay was our honeymoon. Alltogether we stayed for 7 nights and could easily stayed longer. It was a small room with a queen sized bed, an open closet,... more

Chelsea Lodge is a great place to stay when visiting the city. My husband and I stayed for two nights, and this was our second time here (we also stayed here in May of this year). The hotel is close to restaurants and the subway, and is on a quiet tree-lined street. The rooms are small, but comfortable. You have... more

Fantastic and cosy small hotel in a very peacuful neighborhood. Fantastic location near a subway station with lots of great restaurants around. The staff was very friendly and the decoration remind me a doll house. The bathroom in the corridor, was never a problem. Always immaculate and available. I'll will return to Chelsea Lodge in my next trip to NY.... more

We have just returned from a 6 night stay at the Chelsea Lodge and I have nothing but positive things to say about our stay. The accomodation was clean, traditional and felt very homely. Our room on the 2nd floor didnt seem small as other reviews have stated, we took 2 bags rather than suitcases and had enough drawer space... more

We stayed for 5 nights from 13th November. We had a lovely cosy room behind reception which was so quiet at night (we had taken ear plugs expecting to need them but didn’t!). We loved the location and the personal touches in this hotel. The staff were lovely and the rooms/ toilets very clean, warm and homely. we hardly ever... more

This place is clean and in a good location, it feels safe and the shared toilets work just fine. The staff are helpful and given the price you cant complain that the room is small (it saves you a small fortune when compared to the price of a hotel). It was perfect for our trip, we spent our money enjoying... more
