Chelsea International Hostel Reviews

Not the nicest hostel in the world, but for the price and location it's worth it.

Great place in Chelsea. I have nothing bad to say about the place. The guy in my room snored like hell but what you gonna do. Breakfast is minimal but that's all right. Most day I'd wake up too late anyway. The wi-fi is not the best but there was often a lot of people online. The hostel is near many subway station and had everything you need around. I'd go back there for sure.

It was alright, not excellent, but not horrible. The room is fairly clean. The heater was on for way too long before we came, and so it made me felt like I was in the oven! It also leaks water all over the floor. I and my friend only stayed for one night, and I am fairly easygoing, so I don't require too fancy a place to sleep. Chelsea International was sufficient.

They have WiFi only in the common area which is closed from 11pm-7am. No WiFi in the dorms!

Everything was pretty nice. Staff was nice. I got a single room and it's a good price in New York City (excellent place in Chelsea). The one bagle policy for breakfast is true, but it's enough. You get a bagle, a fruit, jam and butter + unlimited cerelas and coffee. Overall it was a really good experience. Recommended

Staff no so friendly and WIFI only until 11:00pm in the common area.... and it often didn't work!

I realy like there, staff was very friendly, but I think could be better if they have a better common area, with couch and people interacting! Dificult to make new friends there!

Wireless access is limited to around dining room; little to no access any where else and the dining room closes at 11. No choice at breakfast - bagle, a fruit, cornflakes and orange juice.

all was well but noisy street room over entry~ I heard the comings and goings all night first day within 30 min cockroach in bathroom! but I was there for advance professional training and not at the facility much I'll be back, this is my second stay~!!

No laundry room

Can't beat the location! Perfectly centered, the 2 bed female ensuite was clean and good sized, breakfast was okay although packed and had nowhere to sit. Really, its all about location and a hot shower. Definetely will recommend it.

you can meet nice people, the location is perfect, it's a realy good choice.

All staffs were so unkind, especially male staffs. I predict I would get low quality, and it was true. But, not bad location and low quaility faciliies are very suitable to the price. So, if you want to stay in NY in cheap price, it would be good choice.

kitchen closed 11pm. it is too uncomfortable. wifi can't be used at the one's room. too bad. some staff is blunt. just rocation is good.

Wifi only in the common area, so no one is really talking to meet new people because the layout makes most people face the wall using their laptops/phones. Toilets don't have sinks, so you have to go back to the dorm to wash hands with no soap provided, making it very unhygienic. The breakfast was reasonable and staff quiet friendly. Great location, so it's good if you're spending most of the time outside the hostel in NYC.

I requested a 6 bedded dorm and ended up with a 2 person room. Granted it was really tiny but I didn't have to share with 5 other people so that was great. The free breakfast is awesome so filling and great that you get a piece of fruit which is unheard of in other hostels I have stayed in. The Internet is really not very good, always dropping out so frustrating!! But all in all a good place to stay!

Staff was not nice, wifi only in common area and until 11 pm, never working properly. Breakfast very poor. No ambiance, only a basement / kitchen. There is not even a couch, if you want to realx and read a book. Very unconfortable. Room was ok. Small, but clean. Nice bathroom.

wifi is only available in the communal area. check in was at 2pm in the worlds tiniest lobby. and if you want to put your bags in storage you have to pay for a locker. which is just stupid. i had to pay $5 for for my bag to be locked up for 3 hours because check in was at 2pm.

hostel itself is really good esp for its location but the staff, I am sorry to say is not really as helpful. Also no internet access after 11 pm, as the lounge(common area) closes by that time. Otherwise, as a package, its mainly average for the price and its location.

La relación precio/calidad es buena teniendo en cuenta los precios de otros hostels de Manhattan. Que incluya el desayuno, ayuda. Es un desayuno sencillo pero digno. Deberían mejorar la atención del staff de la entrada, son muy maleducados. Esta muy bien ubicado y es seguro.
