The Flat NYC

Great location and easy to access subways and buses. Clean room and bathroom. Water not consistently hot enough when showering, twice during my stay shower was room temperature (at least it wasn’t cold). Not the quietest as the floors and walls are not carpeted/wallpapered so sound carries, earplugs/earbuds can help. Good internet, I was able to do video calls for work, but you are staying here for the location, not to hang out in the room! If price is right, would stay again.

Very cute affordable hotel right in Chelsea. I loved the central location having lived in the area in the past. The hotel is simple with shared bath. This is fine for me as I am used to old skool B&B's in the uk which were all like that back before the 2000's. The bathrooms as very clean. I will stay again but, next time, will specify a room on a lower floor. I was on the 5th and it was too much for me some days after a lot of walking (no elevator). Also the soundproofing is not good at the hotel. I was next to an alley which had noise all night. I made it work for me by keeping AC on. But I will also ask for a room on the other side next time.

I'm sure this is on me but I must have failed to notice when booking that my room would share a bathroom and would have no closet space. Honestly it just never occurred to me that could be the case! It was also extremely difficult to find the street entrance (no signage - very sketchy looking door) which was locked upon my 6pm arrival and had me standing in the rain for 5 minutes before opening. Not a great first impression. Overall the place is fine, but it in no way deserves the high ratings I saw on Hotels.com

Good location, the room was clean, but small and you could hear noise from other rooms very easily. Shared bathroom was fine, but not very clean. Not a good value for the money

Excellent location. But you get what you pay for in NYC. Room was very warm and even with the AC/fan it didn't cool down enough - and i did have a cold shower, but I was rushing so maybe didn't wait long enough for it to warm up? Trying to give the benefit of the doubt here. The staff was nice and the room was clean - bed was not very comfortable but the pillows and towels were good. Again, you get this place for the location which is amazing. For that price I guess it was worth it - clean, safe, and spacious enough.
