Lamartine Chelsea – Hostel

2.0 star property
7.2 out of 10, Good, (133)
"Overall, my stay here met my expectations for what staying at a hostel and sharing space with other guests would be like. Your mileage may vary based on who else is also a guest at the time, with regards to noise levels and cleanliness of shared bathrooms, but I had a great stay. I came into town for work and knew I wouldn't be spending a ton of time in a bedroom, so the space and ease of access exactly fit my needs. I'd stay here again if I get another opportunity to visit NYC!"

The room pictures are accurate, but i still found them smaller than i had anticipated. And there isnt an elevator so make sure your bag is light enough to carry up a few flights!"

"Stellar for the price. The woman at the front desk answered all of my questions and was extremely kind. Extremely walkable to public transportation. We had our own private bathroom and shower. There was even a—rather large—private deck attached to our room. We were only in the room to sleep and it met all of our needs. I would stay here again :) If cleanliness is a deal breaker for you, I would suggest elsewhere. "
