Room # 1030
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
I used to sublet the very top apartment (Room # 1030) from a rich guy from Luxembourg who lived there for a long time. You had to sidestep a lot of silliness and drama, however, it was a great place...

This Joint is no more.
It has closed and is sold.
It's a shame. I'm happy I managed to spend a night at this "museum".
Not for the comfort, but for the atmosphere, history, architechture, art and...

This place is terrible....I gave it a two-star rating based on it's history and it is kind of cool to say you visited and stayed at such a legendary place. So yes, that's great...now to the actual...

Wonderful for what it is
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is not a four-star, fancy hotel where you will be pampered. It is a living piece of history and its charm comes from knowing that the hotel is historic and has seen some amazing things.

Solarium Always Broken
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 3 of 5 stars
Love, love, love this hotel. The restaurants, the rooms, the vintage feel of it. However, the last 2 times I've gone there the Sauna and Steam room have been broken. I wish they'd keep the maintenance...

Sold out...but didn't deliver

Before the Chelsea sold out to the new proprietor, it was already a dump-- REALLY a dump. There's great history there, sure-- and the paintings in the stairwell were always cool to look at-- but even...

The largest cockroaches north of Mexico
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 1 of 5 stars
I saw cockroaches that size in Peru and in Dominican Republic. But never, ever, in New-York and NEVER IN A 300 DOLLARS A NIGHT ROOM.
I travel around the world, in good hotels everywhere. Sometimes...

Don't be fooled by the artsyness!
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 3 of 5 stars
I stayed at Hotel Chelsea for two nights! I felt lucky not to book my stay longer. You can stay in a more comfy hotel with better room facilities and pay the same price. So, what makes it pricier is...

Will never stay anywhere else in NYC
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 3 of 5 stars
First off, if you are looking for a hotel that has standardised rooms, and an up to date feel, the Chelsea is not for you.
I stayed here for the atmosphere, and there was lots. My room was clean...
