Property Description

****

The Chelsea International Hostel is one of the largest independent Hostels in New York City, operating since 1992. We are located in Chelsea, a prime location in the heart of Manhattan. From here our guests can walk to most of the attractions NYC has to offer. Highline Park is only 2 blocks away. Follow the lights and arrive in Times Square after a 15-minute walk. But if you prefer to ride the subway, feel free to hop on any of the many subway lines that serve us (A, C, E, F, 1, 2, 3). You can get virtually anywhere in the city in just a few minutes.

Our simple, functional rooms can sleep one to six guests in single beds (in single, shared and private twin rooms) or double-size beds (in private double-bed rooms). We do not use bunk beds in our rooms. Every room is air-conditioned during the summer months. The bathrooms are cleaned constantly. Every floor in any of our eight buildings has a bathroom; most of the time there is no waiting in line to use the bathrooms.

Our guests enjoy:

FREE WI-FI throughout the entire property.
Linen and towels (one bath towel per guest) are provided.
Check-in starts at 3 PM. You can check in anytime after 3 PM. Front Desk is open 24 hours.
Check-out is no later than 12 PM (noon). We do not offer late check-outs. Failure to check out by 12pm will result in the charge of one extra night.

Really uncomfortable bed. It was like going to jail for the night in the room. Literally like a prison a cell. The colour, the smell, the bed and the size. One flat pillow with no volume and the room was cold and I had to wear my clothes to sleep in as I was freezing. Not enough blankets supplied. For the money I spent on the nights stay I could have spent a little bit more and maybe got something ten times better. The only thing missing was the rats running around. Thankfully I never seen one.

The staff was sooooo rude. They got bothered by questions that I asked. I think it's their job to explain the rules and answer the questions. Room condition was just as much as I expected. The locker in the room didn't work. The bed was small. There were no amenities in the bathroom. I traveled at the end of November, and the room was not that warm even if I turned on the radiator. The good thing about this hotel is the price and the location. The security was not that bad.

The price totally worth it because of the location. The people that work at the front desk should be more polite and friendly. The girls that clean, they are nice.
