The Leo House is in its 117th year as a safe, quiet guesthouse with a Catholic atmosphere. This residency is staffed by a Priest-in-Residence, the Sisters of St. Agnes and lay personnel. There is a chapel with the Blessed Sacrament reserved, and often daily Mass. People of all faiths are welcome.

Our residency provides general hospitality, rather than accommodations specifically for retreats, with moderately decorated and comfortable rooms. We offer single and double rooms with private or shared baths ranging from $70-100. Family rooms with 4-6 beds are also available for $160. A beautiful outdoor garden is available for all guests to relax and enjoy its beauty.

There is NO SMOKING in any room in The Leo House, except for the garden.

A buffet style breakfast is served every day except Sunday in a pleasant Dining Room. The Commons Room has vending machines providing soft drinks and snacks. There are a wide variety of restaurants just outside our doors offering popular dinner and luncheon cuisines at reasonable prices.

Centrally located in Manhattan, the Chelsea residential area provides public transportation to the many tourist attractions (Museums, Theatres, Madison Square Garden, Javits Center, Rockefeller Center, St Patrick’s Cathedral and Fifth Ave shopping) and is well within a half block via subway or bus.  Several churches are within walking distance.

Rose Hanley	10/2/2009		I stayed there in Sept. 2009 with my 10 year old daughter. We really enjoyed it. We felt quite safe there. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The staff are what make it a  such a pleasant place to stay. The rooms were clean, but well worn and  could use some paint and the bathrooms could be updated. The beds were good and we were quite comfortable.The common room on the main floor had hot water and ice which was handy, it leads to a nice garden.The 2nd Floor breakfast room is nice and the common room beside it is charming. It was used in filming a "Law and Order" episode if you are a fan.There is a chapel where you can pray or celebrate Mass on some days. We would like to stay here again the next time we visit New York.
Charlotte Ford	9/3/2009		Leo House is great value for money and in a brilliant location in Chelsea. We stayed here for almost 9 weeks after getting stranded in NYC after my partner's lung collapsed. We had a room on the 3 floor. It was simply decorated, clean and bright with A/C and private toilet, sink, t.v and phone.  We had use of a shared bathroom and pretty much had it to ourselves. Staff made us feel really at home without being at all intrusive. We are not religious and we did not feel at all out of place at Leo House. We will always remember our stay fondly! Thank you!
Pat	7/10/2009		Hello, The Leo house is in a great location, easy access to sub-way, transit etc.  The facility has freindly & helpful staff.  The breakfst was good but didn't change much from day to day.  We stayed in the ground floor family rooms which are rather dingy & not real clean.  The rooms above ground seemed much better.  I recommend above ground rooms (there are family rooms there too) that face the courtyard (much quieter).

geraldo franco	5/29/2009		Hi there. When I first arived in NYC is Sept. 1964 I was taken to Leo House by Jesuit's friends. My memories of it are few tough touching since it was my gateway to America: my first night spent there was at Leo House. Many surprises? Yes! They had a fallout shelter, for gods sake! And up in the roof a view to NYC harbour authority! And a morning coffea that looked like tea! That funny two store high berth you have to jump up to get into it... I hope you are all there, who knows, I may redraw my past footsteps, one of these days... Cheers Leo people!
