From the reviews on this site we were worried about this booking. However, we were happy with our 7 night stay. Yes the room was very small, only room for 2 single beds end to end, a locker, some shelves and a sink & mirror. There was a shower and toilet on the same floor though. Everything was clean and...

I arrived in New York after a long day travelling from London. When i arrived there was no obvious enterance, so after walking around with my luggage, stopping about 5 passerby's on the street i finally found the way in..The staff were not overly friendly or helpful. After paying my money i recieved a key which firstly would not let... More

I expected this place to be a lot better than it is. I don't think it's worth the price. The room I'm in (2 single bed room) is tiny and smells really bad. They're supposed to have fast wifi all over but actually it only works in this one room and often doesn't work at all! So then you're forced... More

Booked a private room from 9-12 Oct. I had carried some research prior to my trip, and found it to be one of the most value for money accommodation available in NYC. The hostel room exceeded my expectations, having read some of the poor reviews on this site. Everything is clean and no-frills, which met my needs for a private... More

However, this is more down to being familiar with the Chelsea area, as well as the prices of rooms being a LOT cheaper on the first 3 occasions. This time around, Sept 2011, a single bed is now $70/night. For this you get... More

This hostel is splitted into a few sections within one building and it is an advantage trying to find the room. The room itself. I traveled with my buddy so i booked one room with two single beds in it. Also a... More

Ok I got to the hotel the guy at the reception could of been nicer and kept answering the phone so it took awhile to check in (but he was the only one in the office). Made my way up three flights of stairs with heavy luggage to try and find room D17 found that i had to go through... More

This is the fourth time we have stayed at the Chelsea Int Hostel and it gets better each time.Form the time we check in until the time we leave we have nothing but praise for the staff that run the hostel.The facilities are always clean and tidy and every effort is made to made people feel welcome More

Nowadays very few Cheap Hostel type accomodation is becoming very rare in New York due to pressures from Mayor to close down High Density Housing. Obviously only an arrogant NY mayor would rule cheaper bunk style accomodation as high density as the room I stayed in was for 2 persons , had a chair and large enough cupboard spaace. Chelsea... More
