No 24/7 staff, dirty, unsafe, no locks on doors, scam. Charge $50 for a linen fee. I can assure you, the linens aren’t $50

I was in NY for 2 nights on my own and the Lamartine Chelsea was perfect. I was there for a concert at MSG and it was only an 8 minute walk. Times Square was also in walking distance. I felt safe and my room and all the facilities were clean.

Room was small but it was very cozy! It was actually the perfect size for what I needed. Very friendly staff and the check in/out processes were super easy. If I ever need to stay in NYC again, I may look to this hostel again!

Very good

First stay in a hostel and everything was better than expected. The room and facilities were all clean and comfortable. The 5 stars do come with one note. If your room is on the first floor expect to hear everything the overnight desk attendant does. Everything from talking on the phone, doing what sounded like sorting screws or games on their unmuted phone, it will be heard.

Small, noisy and dirty rooms

I don't recommend this place anybody. The rooms are very small. The bed was very bad, I stayed 3 nights and had huge pain on my back. The room was so dirty, lot of dust, marks on the wall, horrible. You can hear everything from the hallway and neighbors and lot of noise from outside. I found tiny bugs from my bed. There are 2 bathrooms per floor and there is nothing to clean the bathroom so after taking shower, bathrooms are dirty. Area has lot of homeless, unsafe.

Place is good. For the price and location, i would come back again. Area is a bit darker at night and some homeless. I guess NY is like that nowadays. Stay is pleasant.

It is in a great location, near many attractions and tourist sites. My room was a little small, but since I was out all day, I only needed it for sleeping.

Great Economical Place to stay while visiting NYC

Lamartine Chelsea is in a great location, close to Times Square, Broadway, The High Line, and so on. It's a great price for the city. Nothing fancy but it's clean and comfortable. We don't spend much time in our room when we go to New York so it was just a place to sleep and clean up. Fantastic spot if that is what you are looking for. Check in was smooth and they let us leave our bags there after check out until we were ready to head home.
