Much better for $40 a night than expected for anything in New York. Rooms were attractive and clean. Staff was a little brusque at times, but helpful overall. Would definitely recommend to others.
I was looking for a one night stop en route to another destination and Chelsea Star Hotel was perfect for what I needed! It's only 2 blocks from Penn Station and was very clean (bathrooms were in great condition - best i've seen in a hostel!). Not really good to meet people but as I was looking for a quiet (ish) place this suited me fine. Would stay again.

It is kind of far from stuff but taking the subway is no problem. The beds were very un-comfortable and squeaked really loud if you moved at all. the room was small and they have a lot of beds packed into them with no lockers to lock anything up. you can rent a locker and buy towels there but they really don't provide you with anything extra. some of the staff is rude but there was one guy who was nice and helpful. it's not that bad of a place, but i've seen better.

very congested. I have stayed in other hostels in Manhattan, but other than location it has worse facilities. For 10 people, there is only one washroom and shower. Would not go there again

I was very surprised as how clean and nice looking the hostel was. I was at other NY hostels before and this one is by far the best one! The staff was more than friendly and helpful, the room was small but very clean and cute, we even had our own bathroom (8-bed room) and it was very clean (except when some other ppl staying in the same room really messed it up) but the next day it was clean again. Very happy with this choice, will visit again!

Location and hostel were great. Only downfall was the rooms didnt have lockers, so you couldnt lock your stuff up. Also there wasnt really a kitchen, and they only had 2 computers. Otherwise a great hostel to stay.
I really enjoyed my stay here. I felt welcomed, safe, and comfortable. It was organized and offered all the facilities I needed.

Chelsea Star is a decent hostel - location is good, but you cannot expect to meet the party people there!
