We couldn't have asked for a better place! After our hostel "lost" our reservation just 4 days before our departure we were scrambling to find something in our budget in a safe neighborhood. I emailed the Chelsea Lodge and with one room left I booked it. The owners were so incredibly nice and helpful, let me print my boarding passes... more

As a former New Yorker, I like staying in apartments and the Chelsea Suites, a few doors down from the Chelsea Lodge seemed a good option rather than a vacation rental off Criagslist. I wanted the daily room service. I was disappointed to find that my "Garden Suite" was not the same Garden Suite on the website, but actually a... more

fantastic value guesthouse. It's so cheap we were a little anxious but it came highly recommended. We did find our room at the front of the hotel on the ground floor a little noisy and though we were prepared for the shared toilet, we weren't prepared for walking across reception to get to it. I would recommend requesting a room... more

We stayed here for a few nights on our honeymoon. The staff we dealt with was pleasant, and they let us keep our luggage in the office the day we were leaving since we were leaving after check out time. I don't know if all of the rooms come with a private bathroom, but we were kind of in the... more

Chelsea Lodge is charming, with its brownstone steps and quirky rooms. The room was bigger than I was expecting for NYC, and the toilet being down the hall was not a problem at all, very clean and always free. The neighbourhood is lovely - we recommend the Cookshop restaurant two blocks away on 10th and 20th, fantastic food. If you... more

We are a newly married couple from Germany. We were in NY for the first time. We stayed in Chelsea Lodge for 5 days/ nights and did absolutely enjoy our stay there. Our room was small but very cute and, especially, very clean. Sink and shower were in the room, 2 bathrooms just next door.The restrooms have always been clean... more

Loved its location in Chelsea area of Manhattan. Easy walk to the subway stations, as well as the shops, restaurants, etc. Chelsea market was a bit of a disappointment though,as far as markets go. Just as well it is very close to this hotel, otherwise I would be a little upset if I had made my way all the way... more

Stayed here for 6 nights total either side of a bus trip out of New York. Great base for exploring the Big Apple. The Lodge is a converted brownstone on 20th St between 8th and 9th Avenue. Rooms and small but quite comfortable. Small shower / wash basin and shared bathroom in hall outside. We had the room downstairs, next... more

Stayed in one of the basement flats, had requested a garden flat however was given street facing one, this was a bit confusing because it had initially been confirmed but then was unavailable. Guy at reception who was dealing with this was not particularly helpful or apologetic about this. Room was very spacious, air conditioned and had all amenities required.... more

Chelsea Lodge is hands down my favorite hotel. EVER. The fact that it's situated in NYC helps, but still, it's a great place to stay. Last March it was our second time in NYC and the second time in one of the Chelsea Lodge suites. We felt like we were staying in our own apartment, really a place to come... more
