Original NYC Hostel

One of the original and oldest NYC hostels, we opened our doors in 1993.  As a New York international hostel in Chelsea, we love our neighborhood which boasts a variety of bars, restaurants and shops while being a quick walk or subway ride away to major attractions from the High Line to Central Park.  Chelsea is one of the safest districts in NYC, centrally located just north of Greenwich Village and south of Midtown Manhattan.

As the largest independent New York hostel, Chelsea International is maintained 24 hours a day by a highly motivated staff.  The front desk team is comprised of real locals familiar with all 5 boroughs of New York City with knowledge of over 5 languages.  With a variety of room types and lots of free perks, Chelsea International Hostel is the best place to make new friends and explore New York.  We look forward to welcoming you to New York and to showing you why we love NYC!
