This little gem in Chelsea was recommended by a friend & what a great place! Awesome location & the rooms are a great surprise. I stayed in the "Madam Butterfly" room, which was about a kitsch as it comes. Loved it! OK, the rooms are very small & each floor has a shared bathroom but, for budget accommodation in New... More

The location for that price it's unbeatable. We had a double room with street view and stayed here for 5 nights. It's more nice hostel than a hotel. First night we spent in two double room with "Salvador Dali's" paintings on the walls because of some misunderstanding in booking. Room was spacious enough for two, but can't imagine it for... More

It is in our opinion after travelling 5 weeks in America staying in numerous luxury Hotels, that The Chelsea Star Hotel deserves our Number One ‘return destination’ for its location near Penn Station, Madison Square Garden, Macy’s and the Empire State Building. Given that you all know that space is a premium in New York City I need not say... More

I wanted an extremely cheap place to stay for a 5-day trip. And that's what I got. I shared a room with 3 other people - who were quiet, courteous, and slept late (though I never heard them come in at night) - who changed periodically throughout my stay. I'm female, and it didn't bother me to have a male... More

The Chelsea Star is friendly and not to be taken too seriously! The paint job inside tells you that straight away. My tiny room was cheap (though not THAT cheap) and cheerful. For a few more dollars you could get more amenities - like your own bathroom, for one thing. But if you don't mind sharing a shower (not literally),... More

Nice hotel, very clean, with spacious rooms. John, the guy at the reception, is super-helpful - he directed us to a great vintage market and gave some invaluable tips on where to eat, where to go and where not to go on that day (it was Easter, lots of places were closed, some roads blocked, so he really saved us...
