The Chelsea Inn employee we chatted with on our most recent visit described his property as "country-style," and we can't argue. The Chelsea Inn is an antiquey, old-timey guest house smack-dab in the middle of the neighborhood whose name it carries.
The look is occasionally a bit worse for wear, but not in a troubling way. Furniture is in many cases distressed by time and use, though it all fits into the hotel's relaxed, faded "country-style" aesthetic. Most rooms share facilities (with rather large tiles). Wireless access is free.
The Chelsea Inn is a true blue bed-and-breakfast, and offers light continental fare for guests at a café downstairs. Guests come overwhelmingly from Europe, and there is a large gay clientele base as well.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Chelsea Inn neighborhood
Bordered by the West Village to the south and the Garment District to the north, Chelsea boasts a staggering concentration of art galleries. In addition, it's home to the Dia Center for the Arts, the Chelsea Art Museum, and the Joyce Theater—a Mecca for modern dance lovers.
Chelsea is also the epicenter of New York's gay scene, with countless businesses, ranging from nightclubs to yoga centers, catering to its vibrant gay community. Hip restaurants, swanky boutiques, and bars abound. However, at its heart, Chelsea is a residential area, characterized by long streets lined with century-old brownstones.
By the water you'll find the massive Chelsea Piers Sports and Entertainment Complex. Along with the usual gym facilities, Chelsea Piers houses an ice skating rink, golf club, bowling alley, and the city's best indoor rock-climbing wall.
