Great location, and place. George, from USA ~ 3rd Nov 2009

I was traveling to NY on a budget, and knew that my stay at a hostel was not going to be as good as a hotel. When I got to chelsea international, I was pleasantly surprised. Although it was not as great as a hotel, the place was clean, superb location (i walked to time square, rockefeller, empire state) and friendly and helpful staff. The free breakfast every morning was also a big plus, since food can cost quite a bit in NY. Only thing you may need to deal with is that a dorm of 6 only has one Haresh, from Singapore ~ 26th Oct 2009
