Chelsea Cabins is a unique little place, one that I am very glad exists! It is a great place to stay when you are on a limited budget. The room are small but secure and offers some privacy. You can hear everyone around you but Michael does a good job of ensuring everyone is quiet. I thought I would be kept up with peoples noise but I slept well.
I was a little disappointed with the location - I should have looked into this, but as I was jet lagged and only had a few hours in New York I went out at 6am and did not feel safe at all. This may be NYC generally not sure. I soon got to Times Square and felt a lot more safe. The bathroom/shower facilities were fine but I had a cold shower.
