I stayed at the Chelsea Star Hotel for 5 nights in Oct 09. All the reception staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful, even when I told them at 11pm at night that my TV remote control was not working. After a change of batteries did not work, they organised for house cleaning to leave me a new one... more

I booked a room for three nights via the web, received the confirmation. When I went to the the hotel the front door was locked and a note said no vacancy. I rang the bell and when I walked upstairs, front desk staff told that all rooms are booked. Even though I had a confirmation, the front desk staff keep... more

This is kind of a guesthouse. I had to share bathrooms and the level of leanliness in them was not optimal. The size of the room was ridiculously small with not even a dresser to put my clothes in. The staff was responsive but curt. It is advertised as a gay lodging but as a solo traveler I did not... more

We were on a three week trip in the US and couldn't afford the expensive places in the city so we found this budget place. The reviews were good and the price was okay. We were pleasantly surprised.

We stayed in one of the private rooms in the Chelsea Star for 5 nights in July. It was our first time staying in a hostel and we didn't expect anything flash, just the basics. We were greeted by extremely friendly and helpful staff at the reception desk and our check in was very smooth. The first thing we noticed... more

I booked this hostel for myself (British) and my american friend from California. I thought the hostel was great, she hated it. Though she did admit that it was very clean and that the staff were very friendly. Basically this is just a small room with a bed (and TV). But it doesn't have all the commodities and comfort as... more

We stayed in the hotel with a goup of 5. Two standard double rooms and one person in the dorm. Because of the budget of the 5th person and the wish to stay together as a group. I had stayed at the Chelsea Star hotel in 2004 before. But have to say I have outgrown the hotel now. I celebrated... more
