    Nothing, the hotel was great.

    The hotel and service were fantastic, if anything, I would say the photos online don’t do it justice. We would definitely stay here again, the rooms were spacious and far larger than some of the others we looked at in Manhattan. If you are looking for landmarks, the Empire State Building, Flatiron, Grand Central or Chrysler building are all within walking distance. Lovely relaxed hotel restaurants and bar.

    We absolutely loved The Hotel Chelsea. Wonderful history, ambience, location and staff. Everything about the hotel speaks quality. I doubt I’d want to stay anywhere else in New York. The rooms are large with beautiful understated decor. It was everything we wanted and more.

    Lack of accessible plug sockets. Lack of space to put wash bag in bathroom.

    Location was perfect for where we wanted to visit. The staff were really lovely, helpful and always friendly. The room was comfortable. It was small, but we were expecting that as it said this on booking. Could have done with another plug socket in the room as other than the ones by the bedside, there was only one behind a chest of drawers. I had taken a travel kettle. The room was serviced every day and was great for the 3 nights we stayed.

    There is really nothing I dislike.

    I love The Hotel Chelsea it is the only hotel I will stay in when I am in NYC. The historical aspect of the hotel is intriguing and the restoration is absolutely beautiful. The location is perfect when I am working in NYC. I am easily able to walk to the shows I attend and it is incredibly convenient. The staff is very attentive and friendly, as a solo traveler on business, I always feel safe and well taken care of.

    The light was so dim everywhere that it wasn't possible for a reader to enjoy a book-- some of us readers prefer a book to a Nook.

    Dinners were delicious. Gracious dining room. Friendly professional wait-staff.

    Nothing not to like (except maybe the price). It’s my favorite place to stay when I’m in NY, if they’re running a special!

    Great location, historic property, exceptionally well done renovation with comfortable rooms and remarkably large bathrooms for a hotel in NYC. Great restaurants, too.

    Felt nostalgic and warm as soon as you stepped onto the property. The architecture is absolutely divine; the café and the lobby bar were extraordinary with exceptional service from our waitstaff. Our only regret is not making time to go to the adjoining restaurant. Will be staying here again without a question. Our room was fantastic. The bathroom was gorgeous and very clean. Our room was more than comfortable. Would pay for the balcony upgrade in the future.

    Cant say there was much we didn’t like! It’s an expensive hotel but it’s worth it

    Incredible property with so much history. The finishes are beautiful. We stayed in a King Room and it was a bit small but not an issue at all once unpacked. The amenities and staff are excellent. I was worried about booking the hotel due to people reporting the history makes it have an eerie feeling but didn’t sense that at all, it’s a lovely warm vibe.
