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.

Try somewhere else

The room they gave me had no window, and the lock on the door is a code, with no inside lock. Felt unsafe and overall it really was not as it looks in the photos. I arrived saw my room and left immediately. Do not recommend.

Rooms were not as advertised at entire building ranked of marijuana even though we were told there was no smoking. Bed sheets were stained and pillows were dirty. Looking. Room was about the size of a closet. Tried communicating for several days leading up to our check-in with the staff with no return calls or messages. I highly recommend you choose a different property and don't waste your money here.

Unacceptable service

I booked for 3 nights double occupancy but was given just one bath towel, when I asked for a set for the 3 nights I was told to pay extra. Very very ridiculous.

Private Studio Room

The room was very nicely decorated and a lot larger than we anticipated! For a hostel, we were impressed by the security codes specific to each guest for both the front door and your private room door. I will say there was a random sock when we entered our room, which made me question whether the room had been cleaned, but sheets and towels seemed clean to us! The kitchens were very nice and equipped with everything you may need. Our only qualm was that the restroom on our floor (5th) seemed to have a malfunctioning toilet. Remnants were often visible it the toilet bowl so we had to go to the fourth floor to use the restroom. Overall, for the price in NYC, a very comfortable and convenient location. There was a mix of perfumey/smoke smells, as to be expected when sharing common areas. As someone who has stayed in many hostels, I do think majority of the negative reviews were people expecting hotel like conditions. For a hostel, I would say this place is nice.

Honestly pretty good, the property was kept well cleaned and warm as I visited through winter. The room was nice, furniture was a little old and creaky but nothing bad and nothing was broken. My mattress was a little sunken but wasn’t noticeable unless I sat in the specific spot. The bathroom ammenities were useable, only had an issue with another guest who left stuff in the toilet sometimes. Only complaint was a dripping sound made usually during the night, drove me a little crazy but i survived. Overall a good stay, check in and check out were super easy! Is in a super convenient location, close to Madison Square Garden and Penn Station for transport. Had no issues with anything directly outside the property even in the middle of the night. Property security is good too, with electronic codes for front and personal doors. Pretty happy with my stay, and was good for solo travelling without having to pay too much!

Incredible! Room did smell fainltly of cigarettes.

Just amazing. The only problem was that even though smoking is not allowed, the room did smell slightly of very old cigarette smoke. I just kept the window a bit for fresh air and the smell went away. The room was a 4th floor walkup, w/ narrow steep high stairs. Real wood floors, high ceilings, very old, gorgeous, awesome. Person who worked there so helpful when I needed help with a few things, immediately came up to help. Great neighborhood. Nice kitchens+bathroom w/ hot shower. So impressed! Thank you so much!

Great spot to stay if you mostly only need a place to sleep. The shared kitchens and bathrooms are clean and updated but nothing fancy. Great to have a fridge and microwave available. Rooms are SMALL great NY experience.
