My only comment would be the size of the rooms..ours was very small. Nice bathroom

Overall it was a good stay.. The staff is very helpful.. Larent is a very good staff member.. Will stay there again

Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed in the room needs to be replaced. You sink in the bed when you sit or lay on it. Not supportive and very uncomfortable. I barley slept.

The Gem is a great place to stay, ln a great location, nice bar downstairs, extremely friendly staff, typical room size for the area. Nice big walk in shower

Amazing staff. Stayed the night of June 8, 2019. Would recommend for a one night stay.

Great location. Quiet. Very clean. Friendly staff.

They could change the furniture in the main lobby area, it looks extremely worn out. Location is excellent and a couple blocks from Chelsea Market and lots of nice restaurants. Very friendly staff, really enjoyed talking to Sabrina during the happy hour. Very small room and a little uncomfortable but this is NYC and we hardly spent any time in the hotel. Loved the roof top, very nice and quiet and great view.

Very good location, liked the happy hour. Very small room, but this is New York City. New remodeled bathroom very pretty.

The GEM Hotel is unassuming but provides a great base if you want to get away from the busier parts of the City and enjoy a neighbourhood like Chelsea. Very walkable with great access to Midtown to the north and Greenwich Village to the south. Also, Chelsea itself with ready access to the Highline and the Whitney Museum among other things. The room itself wasn't big but it was comfortable, clean and reasonably priced for Manhattan.

Great place to stay in the heart of Chelsea. Very convenient to everything in the neighborhood.

The rooms are small but comfortable. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. There is a small bar in the lobby and you can bring your drinks up to the rooftop deck with a spectacular view of the Empire State Building.

I managed to check in late, but was greeted by friendly staff that made my check in experience easy and welcoming. The lobby was very chic and modern with great music and pretty nice bar area with a great happy hour special. When I got to my room, I noticed the chic decor was also found in the rooms despite the building being an older brownstone. The room was clean and acceptable by my standards, but it was on the smaller side of things from my previous hotel experience. However, I was travelling alone so the size of the room didn't bother me at all, but it may feel a little cozy if you stay with a partner. The rooftop patio was the main selling feature of this place and I spent some time up there enjoying the views and getting some fresh air. It was a great place to bring food and drink to enjoy the views, but I wish there was a bar up there for convenience. Unfortunately there was no pool, but there was a fitness center in the basement that is typical of a hotel. I thought the housekeeping staff was okay because it seems like they started cleaning rooms relatively early so it made it hard to sleep in or get ready without getting a knock on the door or hearing them in the hallway. They did fix my broken bathroom light when I reported it. On my last night, I heard people in the hall talking out loud and slamming doors in the middle of the night. Please be considerate of others because these spaces are confined so it seems louder in the rooms. Not hotel's fault though!

This hotel is in a great location. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Hotel is starting to show some wear and tear. They need to replace hallway carpeting and some cosmetic work in the rooms. Overall I like this place a lot

I needed to ask 2 times to have the bed sheets completely replaced. Room service did not replace shampoo, soap, towel every time an item was missing.

Room was ship shape; it felt like someone's passion project was to turn this apartment building into pleasant but reasonably priced hotel rooms. Our room was adorably wee: imagine a hipster ship's cabin decorated by Ikea. In a good way. We were reminded of hotels where we have stayed in Europe. The decor was only slightly worn. Like, one of the picture frames and a nick on it. This had no impact on our enjoyment, which was considerable. The location was ideal -- Chelsea is a very authentic neighborhood. It has interesting restaurants, co-op grocery stores and bars, and many old standbys as well. Like the best parts of New York, it combines the daring and interesting with the homey and comfortable. -- and it is a convenient and central part of Manhattan. The staff was very friendly, accommodated all requests, an made some excellent recommendations. We didn't even have time to enjoy happy hour in the 80s-retro-chic lobby or check out the rooftop bar. But we will be back.

Clean, nice staff, smallest room I have ever stayed in.
