Nice place. Clean common areas. The mattress & pilllows could use an upgrade.

The light of the room is too low

very small rooms

Cleaner than many other hostels, nicer beds. Close to Penn Station, LIRR and subways.

I stayed here for four nights on a solo trip. I have stayed in hostels before, so I knew what to expect in the way of smaller, shared accommodations. Arrived late in the evening and the desk attendant was friendly and knowledgeable. I was helped upstairs with my bag(s) and shown around on the floor where I would be staying. My room was clean and had its own window unit AC that kept the room cool. Room was about the size you would expect for a hostel but did have a full-length mirror and an armoire in which to hang clothes, which was helpful. Each floor has two restrooms, both good sized with full showers; very clean and well maintained. I never had to wait to use the restroom and was never interrupted by other guests rushing me when I was showering, etc., but obviously that may not be the case during peak travel times of the year. I chose this hostel due to close proximity to Madison Square Garden, just a short walk away. Plenty of nearby restaurants and bars, walkable to Penn Station and subway. Check out was just as easy as check in, with same attendant. Everything here met or exceeded my expectations. Please make sure you research what exactly hostel accommodations are like because they truly are meant for solo travelers who don’t plan to spend much time in rooms other than sleeping and showering, and the room sizes reflect this. My only complaint was lag in WiFi when on Zoom meetings for work, but connection was fine for phone calls and general internet use.

Great staff.

Our room was clean and spacious. Everything about our stay was easy.

This place is fine if you have a short trip. It's a central location the staff seemed nice. The room and shared bathroom were adequate. It's not pristine clean but not bad like you will see some dust and dirt at the corners of the room and it looked like a small stain on my sheets but no big deal to me.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Subway stops few blocks away. Would stay there again.

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!

Lady in charge is very nice and very helpful

I wish it would've television in the room.

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.

This was a cute and easy place to stay. I felt safe as a female solo traveler staying there. The area around was nice and everything was walk-able.

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.
