I have just spent a few days here and really enjoyed my stay. It is located on West 22nd street and 8th Avenue, which is a great location for walking uptown or downtown. You can also easily catch the subway on 23rd street ( E, C or 1 train) The rooms are small, but you aren't going to be spending... More

I am not exaggerating. I travel to NY 3 times a month staying at many hotels for business. This was the worst experience I have ever had. It has an average price for NY hotels, and a far below average room accommodation. My experience - - first room on the second floor was deeply musty, heavy mold smell, I don't... More

nice boutique hotel and not bad value for the price, that is if you get a good room rate. However, the rooms are very small and the beds have a plastic liner that rustles in the mattress cover. I had a problem with their plug converters - they didn't work! so bring your own. Chelsea is a great location and... More

The location of GEM Chelsea is good; you can walk anywhere, catch a cab and subway to anywhere in the city and there are a lot of restaurants, bars, coffee shops in walking distance. It's in a locale that is conducive to just about anything you need in NYC. The hotel over promises a bit in their web site advertising.... More

Will stay here again next time I am in NYC. Very well located, one block from subway, many restaurants and other conveniences in neighborhood. Like modern decor, free wifi, business center. Only drawback is that the rooms are small, which is typical in NYC. Also reasonably quiet location. More

I was more then happy with my stay. I highly recommend this hotel. You guys got it right. Five stars all the way! Murray's bagel for breakfast, and an organic grocery store next door. Tons of awesome restos. Great things come in small packages! See you in the summer. More
