The Spotlight on Chelsea Rooms NYC

Affordable Comfort Steps from the Stage

Modern and minimalist, Chelsea Rooms NYC offers an unbeatable location in the heart of Manhattan’s Chelsea district. Just a 3-minute walk to Penn Station and only 400 yards from Madison Square Garden, this 2-star hotel keeps you close to the action without the high price tag. With clean, air-conditioned rooms, free WiFi, and a low-key atmosphere, it’s a smart base for music fans exploring New York City.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the location—less than 5 minutes on foot to Madison Square Garden, and close to subway lines for late-night travel. The hotel’s concierge service is helpful for navigating the city, while the simple setup means you’ll have a quiet place to crash after the show. With a 1:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM checkout, there's flexibility for early arrivals or a slow morning after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends needing a central, affordable stay
- Solo travelers catching a dream show at MSG
- Couples on a weekend concert getaway
- Fans who want a quiet place to rest after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want to stay close to the venues

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, a vegetarian breakfast is available in the morning—perfect for a light bite after a late night. Plus, being in Chelsea means you’re surrounded by walkable dining options, from 24/7 diners to trendy late-night spots. Though room service isn’t available, there’s no shortage of food just steps away.

Nightlife Options

The hotel doesn’t have its own bar or music venue, but you’re in one of NYC’s liveliest neighborhoods. Bars, lounges, and live music venues are within walking distance, so you can easily continue the night after the show. Whether you’re into jazz clubs, rooftop bars, or low-key pubs, you’ll find a spot nearby.

What People Say

Guests love the prime location near MSG and Penn Station, calling it ideal for catching concerts or late-night events. Many highlight the cleanliness, value, and friendly staff as standout features, especially for the price point. Travelers often say it’s a no-frills but comfortable choice when the city’s calling.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel has shared bathrooms, which might not be ideal for everyone—though most guests say they’re well-maintained. Rooms are small and simple, so don’t expect luxury, but it’s perfect if your focus is on the show, not the sheets.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, no-fuss stay just steps from major NYC concert venues, Chelsea Rooms NYC hits the right note.

Well maintained, clean and comfortable...

Liked: It’s so clean and the location is excellent, right next to Penn station and close to the bus station too. Everything is right there. 7-11 is downstairs for juice and water and the staff absolutely friendliest and really helpful and accommodating . The bed was marvelously comfortable.
Disliked: It’s very small but you kind of overlook the size when you realise how clean and well kept it is. For the price, it’s good for this area , cause downtown accommodations are not cheap. But overall NY is an expensive town.

False advertising, for a little...

Liked: The location was ok. Just next to a 7/11 full of vagrants that sometimes sat on the doorfront of the property.
Disliked: Shared bathrooms. Nowhere on the website mentioned it. Neither the bunkbeds. My tiny room was hot even with the A/C on. It was not comfortable at all.

Budget friendly, but don't expect...

Liked: The place is nice, but very basic. Important: Shower and toilets are in the hall.
Disliked: It's located above a metro line, and when the metro passes it gets very noisy. They give you a pair of earplugs.The A/C has known better days.

I love it

Liked: The location was good, there is subway nearby so I easily got there. The staff was really nice and friendly. The breakfast was included. The room was clean and had an air conditioner, fridge, and wash-stand. Clean toilets and shower
Disliked: The toilet is small. I fit in there but I’m not tall but some people can find it difficult to fit in there
