Highly recommended! Great location!

Friendly staff, clean rooms, comfy bed, great neighborhood. Will stay again.

A very good experience. Clean, comfortable accommodations done in an effiicient, no-nonsense manner. Especially good for those who know New York and can thrive even if slightly off the beaten path.

Really good hotel, friendly staff and a great location near cosy Meat Packing district with lovely restaurants. I like Chelsey who are so wonderful. I really enjoyed my stay there and will definitely go back soon!

we were surprised and happy using this hotel for the first time. location is convenient for having a car with a garage right across the street. Location is off a bit, though my wife & I are native New Yorkers and are used to walking around (urban hiking) a lot. Close to the Highline is an attraction for a return visit in the spring. Rates were reasonable; […] especially given the fact this was around the X-mas-New Years holidy. Devamı

This was an unexpected surprise. Very good location in Chelsea area, friendly staff, good room size (definitely not your typical NYC postage stamp room), good amenities and internet service, clean and well maintained. Even with the plaster walls, street traffic be a little noisy depending on the location of your room. More like a home than a hotel, […] it is a hotel I will go back to again whenever I am in the area. Devamı

Find the Hotel in the cool Chelsea/Meatpacking area, where there is a great atmosphere, and a lot of nice restaurants etc. near by. A very nice hotel - good service, very clean and comfortable. The room and bed was a bit smaller than we have tried in other hotels in the US, but was more than enough for us, the three days/nights we stayed there in January […] 2012. I would fully recomend it for couples, who are on vacation in New York and who need a place to stay/sleep/relax in a quiet and nice neighborhood. Devamı

I loved this hotel. It was excellent value and in a fantastic location near Chelsea Market and the High Liner (?) Park. The room was really comfortable, the staff were really nice, there was free wifi and hot chocolate, I loved the decor and the building. I came here on business but I would stay here on holiday too. Can't wait for my next trip ther […] e! Devamı

This hotel is a good value for NYC. The subway location is several blocks walking distance away which may be a deterrant for some guests. The room was very clean and the "green" toiletries were a nice touch. Mainly quiet, but I could hear another guest bathing her child through the vent in the bedroom. My only complaint is that the front desk volunteered […] to get me a taxi for transfer to the airport and told me it was "about the same price". In reality, it was a car service that was unmetered and this costs about 20.00 more (with tips and toll) than a yellow taxi that is metered. So beware that It is cheaper to hail a taxi on your own in front of hotel for airport transfers. Devamı

The bathroom was almost as big as the room itself (quite small), but it was all immaculately clean and well furnished. The service was excellent. I had left my camera in the room and they held it for me and required photo id to return it. I would have liked a slightly larger room, but would happily return.

Want to relax in New-York city? It is possible at the Desmond Tutu Center. Located at Chelsea in a quiet area, this hotel is perfect to relax after an exhausting day in the crazy city of New-York. Want to have a delicious breakfast near the hotel? Go to the Chelsea Market at only 4 blocks! Very cool place to eat and shop. Cookshop restaurant also serve […] excellent breakfast. Want to see NYC? Get on the metro in 8 minutes and go to central park or downtown. Everything is close to you in NYC. We love that place and we will come back for sure. Devamı

Unless you have business in Chelsea the location of this hotel is worth considering: Lots of trafik on Tenth Ave and quite far from all places of interest on Manhattan - even from the nearest subway station. The hotel doesn´t function as a normal full service hotel, it has a small reception but not much more to offer with regard to service: No restaurant, […] roomservice or even minibar. When you book a room through Hotels.com you get a standard room - unless you specifically buy a larger room: In our case the standard room was tiny - six sqare meters - under the roof with a sloping ceiling = not enough floor space for two grown ups to pass each other without one person sitting on the bed. Taking in to consideration that the hotel isn´t cheep I certainly would not consider returning. We have stayed at a number of much nicer hotels in Manhattan, better located and with full service with out paying any more. Devamı

I've stayed at this hotel multiple times. The rooms are charming, the building is unique, the location is great but the plumbing is terrible. This is the second time I have stayed there when my bathtub did not drain while in the shower. The first time, I figured it was a fluke. This time - in a different room - I was standing in my own shower water […] - up to my ankles, when some dark grey sludge came up from the drain. When I complained at the desk I was met with blank stares. They promised to call housekeeping. That's just what they said the last time. I'm guessing they are used to this complaint! Devamı

I wasn't expecting anything but the place was very civilized and clean and my room was roomy. There were some minor things - the pillows were very stiff. No luggage stand. The automatic motion sensored faucet at the vanity wasn't a good idea. Couldn't control the temperature and kept turning off when rinsing soap off my face. The internet was an iffy […] connection but FREE! I didn't stay long enough to fully look around. The grounds look like a museum and beautiful. Lobby is clean and had coffee in the afternoon with cookies. Little things like that can make a tired business woman feel soooo much better. Nice staff. A terry robe in the closet. Wish I had more time there. Much prefer this location to hectic Time Sq. Only a block away from the high line access. But a long walk to the subway stop. Devamı

Great hotel, 3rd time I've stayed here. Really friendly & helpful staff. Get a room in the front facing the highline for views of people walking by. Also facing west you have nice sunsets since there are no tall buildings...

Great location near Chelsea with many excellent restaurants and shops within walking distance. Only one bock from the Highline, and a couple of blocks from the waterfront walkway. We walked to Chelsea Market via the Highline, then to Ground Zero via the waterfront walkway. Discovered several excellent restaurants within a few blocks of the hotel. The […] staff was friendly and helpful, and a it took less that two minutes to hail a taxi. Devamı

Great location in West Chelsea. Convenient to Mid-town/Theater Distr, Village, and downtown. Great restaurants nearby plus the new Highline Park. The only thing I wished the rooms had was a small frig, but we got by OK. We'd stay again!

The room was small and in the front of the Hotel, some noise from the street. The A/C was not cooling enough, but had a nice experience.

The Desmond Tutu Center is now our hotel of choice when visiting our daughter in Manhattan. What a wonderful place! It is on the grounds of an active seminary with beautiful surroundings and a lovely chapel. I must admit that when we arrived, the woman at the desk informed me that we only had a double bed in our room. When I asked if they had anything […] else, she promptly made a call and we were given a corner room with 2 queen beds, a sitting area with a large window seat, table and 2 chairs surrounded by large windows. It was gorgeous! I later found out that the hotel opened only 4 years ago and had been completely restored at that time. It is convenient to the new High Line, Chelsea Market, and Chelsea Piers. Parking is an issue unless you don't mind NYC parking lot prices. There are parking lots directly across the street from the hotel. We were fortunate to find a free spot on the street within view of our window. You just need to read the signs to avoid a ticket. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Devamı

Definitely recommanded if you prefer quiet location, spacious rooms, silent streets, not far from subway and closed to very good places to eat or drink.

This place is just right, if you're looking for an excellent, reasonably priced hotel in this part of town. It's a former seminary remade - and it still is peaceful. Comfy beds, stylish rooms, snuggly robes, in-room coffee/tea, complimentary papers, cider, cookies and fruit. Great shopping nearby. The Food Network is in nearby Chelsea Market (along […] with some GREAT foodie shopping). There's a fantastic breakfast/lunch place across the street in Cookshop. This is my FAVE hotel downtown. highly recommended. Devamı

The hotel is a beautiful old building, the rooms are clean, modern, and comfortable. The hotel is on 10th ave so its quiet and accesible. The concierge was so nice and friendly and i love the neighborhood. I was shocked this place was so nice for such an affordable price. I plan to stay here all the time.

Pricey, but what isn't in NYC? The Center is in a beautiful building in a nice neighborhood. We had our largest room yet in a New York hotel, and the staff was extremely courteous and helpful. An excellent choice.

We were delighted with everything about the place. The room was newer, and in perfect condition. The price was very reasonable, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It is not a typical NYC hotel experience. It is in the meat packing district, which is a little off the beaten path. But it served our needs on this trip to the city. The […] building itself is only five floors high, and there seemed to be very few rooms, which made for a quiet, inn-like experience. There is no valet parking, but it was not necessary, as there is a public garage directly across the street. The overnight parking rate was $31.00. We're used to paying $45 - $55 in Manhattan. Overall, a very nice experience, and we are looking forward to staying there again. Devamı

Disappointed with the service that I received from the hotel. Stayed for two nights but housekeeping never came to make beds or replace linens. Contacted front desk when returned to room for second night and they stated that they would send up housekeeping -- housekeeping never showed up. When leaving later that night for dinner, I once again told the […] front desk that housekeeping had not come and they immediately asked me if I left the do not distrub sign on the door, which I did not. However, when I did return from dinner, there were towels in a bag on the door. When I checked out, I once again stated that housekeeping never came and the woman write down my name and room number for the manager. I am very disappointed that management did not make any accomodations or contact me. Devamı

Great place to stay in Chealsea. 1 block from the High Line, 1 block from Chealsea market. The staff was very friendly and even though we were on the first floor it was very quiet. The room furnishings (bedding etc...) were very comfortable, although the carpet and wall were showing their age with scuffs and marks. Would deff stay here again.

the staff was wonderful, our room was terrific. I will stay there again and again!!!

What a find! I would have never thought to stay here but for finding it on this website and all the great reviews. The inside has been completely renovated. Rooms are large and new. Plus, it's in a great location -- safe and close to the happening restaurant and bar areas.

Very friendly & helpful staff. Nice quiet hotel. Good location although its about a 10 minute walk to the closest subway. Even after I checked out they still looked after my bags for the day. Highline is across the street. Definitely recommend.

I was skeptical about going to an off name Hotel. However I was very pleased with the whole experience and they even upgraded my room at no extra cost. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Loved this place! The rooms are a bit small if you're used to airport hotels, but was perfect for my needs which was to visit the city, not lounge in my room for my whole vacation. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom was spacious and clean and the charm of this hotel was outstanding. Located ont he grounds of a seminary, it provided the calmness […] sought after a day of sight-seeing. The High Line park is right across the street and is mere blocks from the subway stations and the Chelsea we've all come to love Devamı

It was a great location and very comfortable. Would definately stay there again

Comfortable walk to 111 8th datacenter, quiet location, and close to some great restuarants. Staff was very helpful, and professional. I did enjoy this hotel because it is an oasis of tranquility in the bustling city. Definite future stays and recommendations to anyone who (like myself) wanted a hotel as a refuge after work.

Having lived in the NY-NJ_CO area for 7 years, I returned this labor day to NYC for the first time as a tourist and staying at the Tutu center was a real pleasure. They had ax excellent location, wlkable to Chelsea Market and Chelsea Piers and Metro was not to far away. They had large rooms and fantastic toiletries. The front desk staff was the friendliest. The […] only downside would be that the bath-tub is not what you would get in a hotel of this price. The beautiful buildings are old and charming and they did not have jacuzzi tubs then! But overall extremely satisfied and will stay there again if I visit NYC! Devamı

Previously accomodations of General Theological Seminary, the Tutu Center is a real gem of a hotel. The room was huge -- particularly by Manhattan standards. Our room had a beautiful original fireplace mantel. The add-ons were excellent, particularly the inclusion of bathrobes. And the hotel comes with access to the lovely tranquil courtyard of the […] Seminary, an escape from frenetic New York. Highly recommended. Devamı

This is a conference center/hotel and very very nice. Lovely rooms in a refurbished older 5story building, very quiet and comfortable, nice patio/garden sitting area in back and close to galleries and restaurants in Chelsea and across the street from the beautifully created promenade on the old Highline train tracks.

Clean, cool, quiet...friendly service! My only complaint was the size of my room. From the pictures they look spacious, but not all rooms are the same size. My room was advertised as a single queen bed. We got one full bed (no big deal) but the room was barely big enough to fit a bed and some furniture without bumping into everything as you try to walk […] around. I had to put the desk chair in the enormous-by-comparison bathroom and put my suitcase on that so I wouldn't trip over it! I wouldn't even have thought much about it, being in NYC, and all rooms are small-ish...but I reserved 4 additional rooms for a family gathering and all the other rooms were what I was expecting for size. Their rooms were great, and we didn't do anything in our room except sleep, so not really a big deal. It was worth it for the location, cleanliness and service. Devamı

It feels like you are going to a convent or conference center, but the rooms are quite nice and normal, the neighborhood is now a good one.

Great, comfortable, quiet hotel. I loved the location (very convenient for transportation) and the staff couldn't have been nicer. The rooms were very spacious for the value and I would definitely stay there again.

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Although the room was a bit small (but not unusual for NYC) it was very clean and most comfortable. The new Highline walking path and access to the westside park and development are just outside the door! We travel a lot and stay at 4 star resorts but this stay was one of our most enjoyable.
