Staying at The Paul Hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was spot on for checking out NYC hotspots, the room left a lot to be desired in terms of size and comfort. The staff were generally friendly, but I did have a rough patch with service. Overall, it feels like a mixed bag.

My room was tiny and honestly felt cramped for the price. After asking about a broken AC, I returned to a hot room, which was frustrating. The beds were comfortable, though, and I appreciated having a fridge.

The rooftop bar sounds nice, but I didn't get the chance to check it out. I did enjoy the quick check-in process and appreciated having earplugs for the noise.

The location of The Paul Hotel NYC-Chelsea is fantastic, with easy access to subway stations and nearby attractions. However, my room felt cramped, and the noise from construction was quite disruptive. I appreciated the friendly staff and the convenience of having USB chargers readily available, but overall, my experience was mixed.
Rooms

My room was designed with a two-level bunk bed, which felt unusual and cramped. I also struggled with the lack of space for my belongings and the shower had a poor drainage system which caused flooding. The walls were thin, making it hard to sleep due to noise from neighbors.

However, I faced significant issues during my stay, including a lack of proper amenities in my room and unacceptable cleanliness standards. Overall, while I appreciated the modern design and the comfort of the bed, the unsatisfactory service left me disappointed. 😕

While the location was superb and the bed was incredibly comfortable, I encountered some significant drawbacks such as a lack of amenities and subpar bathroom arrangements. The staff, although friendly, could have been more attentive to detail.
