The Chelsea Sat Hotel has been extended, therefore one half was slightly newer. These are where the apartments are, I believe. We stayed in the 4th floor apartment. Literally the only pain was the fact that there was no elevator, so hauling of our big suitcases was involved. Not much of problem if you ask me. The room was clean...

John helped me when I got there android me everything I needed to know, supplied me with a map and some helpful...

It is always difficult to find a clean, affordable place to stay in Manhattan. Chelsea Star Hotel was a great place to stay. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm style with shared bath. The bathroom was clean and had shelves to put things on. The water pressure was good and we had hot water everyday. You could hear quite...

Stayed here to Celebrate St Patricks Day: Nice one as there is 3 irish bars across the road. Had an ordeal arriving in New York and when we told the man behind the desk he immediately 'upgraded' our room, as two ladies to save money we booked a double room, but when we arrived into the room we each had...

After reading some of the reviews on Trip Advisor about the Chelsea Star, I was a bit worried about my stay. However, I would recommend it to travelers on a budget. Yes it doesn't have an elevator, and it's a "walk-past-and-you'll-miss-it" kind of place as it is literally a door in the side of the wall. The people at the...

I was scared after reading some of the reviews, but this was a fine hotel. There aren't any "frills" but it was very clean and the bathroom was new and had nice Mexican tile. Much much nicer than I expected. The bed was fairly comfortable. There was MUCH more space than I expected. Definitely great for the money. Would stay...

This hotel is in a brilliant location. Penn Station is practically opposite the hotel, which can get you anywhere....saying that, it's within walking distance to Madison Sq Garden, Empire State Building and Times Square. The staff here were excellent, couldn't fault them. My flight got delayed by a day and they found me a room for an extra night, and...

The room was a good size and bathroom also ok size, little dated but very clean, no facilities like fridge etc but due to not spending much time in your room and somewhere to just sleep, it...

First up, I can't believe the negative reviews posted about this hotel. You get what you pay for, and having just spent two weeks at Chelsea Star I can honestly say it offers value for money, it's clean, has friendly staff and is ideally located. Sure, there are no lifts, the AC units can be noisy and you can hear...
