Selina Chelsea NYC

Cons: The rooms were quite small and the bedding was a bit low quality for any type of proper hotel. Maybe the other weak point was the food was generally awful. Pros: That hotel is pretty and the spaces are pretty. The location is great for exploring the area, the staff are friendly and the rooftop bar is accommodating and the drinks are fair priced. It was not a bad budget ish way to see NY but the hotel vibe made the spot not feel super Selina ish and the cheap bedding seemed a bit too much to make me think about staying again.

Can't beat this location and convenience! It is a small room, but fantastic for solo travel on the go, and the option to meet up with friends on the rooftop bar was appreciated. Hotel was clean and cleaning team were on top of things. The staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful; Martin, in particular, made me feel right at home and put in effort to meet all of my needs. I will be back here.

It's HOOOORRRRRRRRIIIIIIBLE. The Selina hotel brand seems to be about being Young! And Fun! And Having Adventure! That's fine. In the event, the hotel is overpriced and really bad. With the room they're going for a boho-chic kind of feeling but it's just cheap and uncomfortable - no expense has not been spared - it actually feels sub-IKEA. There's nowhere to work in the room - you have to go to bars with their relentless ever-throbbing house music. The staff also seemed to be whatever could be cobbled together. It's really, really unimpressive. Now you know!

I'm glad I ignored the bad reviews. I found The Selina to be an exceptional value for the location and experience. The staff was terrific, and the free welcome drink was a real treat - the margarita option was a very quality cocktail, not a cheap mix. Most importantly I appreciate they don't extort pet owners with exorbitant extra fees and were truly welcoming to my pup (we were in town for an AKC event at the Javits Center). Also the morning coffee in the lobby was a really good brew - I normally would go out to one of the many specialty cafes for coffee, but was more than happy with the complimentary cup. The room was small, as are most NYC rooms at this price point. I did not have a problem with noise other than the to be expected occasional street noise which was barely discernible. Music from the lobby area traveled up the elevator shaft but could not be heard inside the room. While I could hear the sound of other room doors opening and closing, I find that to be fairly common in hotels and was not bothered by it, nor was my dog. The room temperature was easily adjustable. I did initially feel a draft and some cool air but soon realized the window had been left partially open. I will definitely be back to the Selina for the AKC event next year- the proximity to Javits and Hudson Yards without being in the gritty really busy Times Square area was perfect.

Hotel is dirty and is NOT a 4-star hotel. More like 0 stars! The TVs and phones don’t work and there’s a smell in the rooms and hallways AND the bathroom was dirty upon check-in. We were in 2 different rooms and they were both disgusting. Ended up cancelling the reservation and leaving about 15 min after check-in. Do NOT stay here.

The rooms were small and the beds were on the floor. People were screaming in the hallways and yelling in the streets as the basement of the hotel has an underground club. During checkin the person was disinterested and did not even acknowledge that we were there. When we asked him if he can hold our bags he gave us an attitude.

We were very disappointed with the hotel. The photos do it so much justice. 4 stars I think not. No bar or tea making facilities in room. Our room was cool no matter how high the heating was on. Staff were pleasant. Home a week and still haven’t received our deposit back.
