We received a warm welcome from the very friendly staff when we arrived at the hotel. We had quite a luggage which we had to carry all the way up to the second floor of the hotel. With that tedious job out of the way, we were happy to find that our double room was quite nice - small, but... more

I travelled to NYC recently with three friends - the Chelsea Star was a great option. We booked a deluxe apartment suite, which came with three double beds (plus a rollaway bed), a couple of chairs, small dining table, kitchenette with fridge, kettle and microwave, and private bathroom. All for less than $350 including taxes for four people, only a... more

We stayed here for a week in November whilst holidaying in NYC. At first we were excited to see the lovely decor of the hostel - clean bathrooms, brightly coloured walls, a lovely terrace with tables and chairs and a nice room. We had a double bunk bed and a TV, so it was very cosy. You do have to... more

I liked my room w/private bath, very clean and bed very comfortable. The desk staff were the friendliest, offering me an umbrella and a lot of good advice. The location is perfect, right near Penn Station and convenient to every subway line. Only drawback was a very noisy street outside but what can you do? It's New York! They let... more

We think, to have found the best deal in New York City! Very good prices and perfect location opposite Madison Square Garden. Although booked the smallest room (shared bath), we got a free upgrade (bigger room with private bath!) because of non-availability of the small room! According to other comments, this seems to be a common behaviour... :-) more

I stayed at the Chelsea Star Hotel for 5 nights in Oct 09. All the reception staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful, even when I told them at 11pm at night that my TV remote control was not working. After a change of batteries did not work, they organised for house cleaning to leave me a new one... more

I booked a room for three nights via the web, received the confirmation. When I went to the the hotel the front door was locked and a note said no vacancy. I rang the bell and when I walked upstairs, front desk staff told that all rooms are booked. Even though I had a confirmation, the front desk staff keep... more

This is kind of a guesthouse. I had to share bathrooms and the level of leanliness in them was not optimal. The size of the room was ridiculously small with not even a dresser to put my clothes in. The staff was responsive but curt. It is advertised as a gay lodging but as a solo traveler I did not... more

We were on a three week trip in the US and couldn't afford the expensive places in the city so we found this budget place. The reviews were good and the price was okay. We were pleasantly surprised. It's got a real hostel feel so pretty laid back. The staff were really friendly and went out of their way to... more
