Ok, fair enough, we had chosen the cheapest rooms with shared bathroom and we got the cheapest and dirtiest room you can imagine. In the end you have to decide for yourself if the incredibly cool staff and the notorious location weigh up these nightmare rooms with filthy washbowls, never polished mirrors and overused beds. In the end the high... more

Got there with my wife and my 2 girls (8-13). The room was not ready yet a 3:45pm even if the check in is a 3pm. But don't worry they take care of your car, check you in, than show you the room. For sure it didn't match the pictures from their web site. It was so discusting that my... more

This hotel is an icon, but some of the reviews have been less then kind. I had to check it out and convinced my husband to give it a shot. We both LOVED it. Character and really great staff! Thanks Melissa!!!!! Ideal location and a great trip. Thanks Chelsea! more

We were very excited about the prospect of staying The Chelsea. We had heard so much about it over the years and more recently some friends had stayed and really enjoyed their visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything everybody has said in previous reviews, both good and bad, are true. The place appears to be utterly charming and the... more

Much has been written about the Chelsea Hotel but nothing compares with the actual experience. There is something magic about it. The art and history are very rich and the building is beautiful. I have visited the hotel lobby before and finally got to stay. We can't quit talking about our experiences there and want to return soon. We want... more

I regret not visiting the Hotel Chelsea when it was more of a haven to artists. Then again, a room might not have been available and I would not have felt as safe. As it is, there are still numerous residents in the hotel to lend it charm and artwork line the hallways and lobby. Our room was clean and... more

We stayed in the Chelsea for four nights at the end of May and found it to be a fantastic experience. The area directly around the hotel was a little lifeless but further into Chelsea or over in the flatiron district there were some great places. The hotel itself is not exactly plush but it has so much character. There... more

To say i was disappointed with the accommodation and facilities is an understatement. The room was seriously shabby; worn carpets, wallpaper pealing off the wall in places, broken window blind, damaged wall fittings, the door to the room appeared to have been forced several times and badly repaired, extremely worn bathroom fittings, problems with the electrical sockets, electrical cables exposed,... more

I first stayed at The Chelsea in August 2007, just after Stanley Bard left the hotel. I had always wanted to stay at The Chelsea but as I have relatives in Valley Stream I had always crashed there. However, my love of history & the arts finally got the better of me. Now I would stay NOWHERE else in NYC... more
