Read some helpful reviews of Chelsea Mini Storage at 224 12th Avenue, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I had used Manhattan Mini Storage location on 542 W29th street for many years and liked it very much. The location is clean, well managed, easily accessible and with sufficient parking space. Also, all personnel I engaged with were always kind, helpful, courteous, easily approachable and efficient. That includes Mr. Louis - manager of the location, as well as, the young lady who works there (I believe her name is Kira), and another young man at the front desk whose name escapes me. I warmly recommend it. ... Read more

I had an outstanding experience at Manhattan Mini Storage thanks to Luis! He went above and beyond by helping my friend and I, figure out the best way to unload her items and the most efficient way to transport everything to her unit. He was hands-on, extremely helpful, and such a delight to work with. What could’ve been a very stressful situation ended up being smooth and easy because of his guidance and positive attitude. Luis truly made all the difference — highly recommended, and a true asset!!!! ... Read more

Thanks to both Ian and Luis, the front desk managers at the Hudson Yards location in New York City, things turned out for the better. These two gentlemen were equally competent and informative. Both were courteous with the right professional attitude regarding inquiries, problem solving and resolutions to my storage needs. They were courteous and very helpful in assisting me with an issue regarding an accurate size of the storage box that I needed and the billing statements. Their professional demeanor in the way these two gentlemen handled my concerns is what impressed me the most. They both deserve high ratings and my outmost respect. If there's ever a need for a promotion, I would recommend that both of these two men be the first pick on the list! Thanks again guys and keep up the good work! Truly, Miguel Very Satisfied Customer Unit Numbers 679 & 633 ... Read more

rose - 2 September 2025
I had a great experience at this facility. I usually find storage facilities intimidating but due to my experience with Luis, who had been extremely helpful, I will definitely be returning to this facility. The move-out process was easy and efficient due to his support every step of the way—from helping with the heavy load that I could not carry myself, to making sure I know exactly where my locker is. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you so much! ... Read more

I recently rented a storage unit at Manhattan Mini Storage and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience.

Ashlyn K. - 16 May 2025
Luis helped me with the storage unit which is pretty spacious -- 4' deep x 8' wide x 6' tall. $86 per month all together for first 3 months (then a small undisclosed as yet price increase, to hold for next 8-12 months, he said). Luis was kind and personable both on the phone and helping me with the unit. This is my second time getting storage here; it worked great before (hence returning), and would recommend to anyone else. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Chelsea Mini Storage - 224 12th Avenue has to offer. These amenities include Indoor, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, Security Camera, Credit Cards Accepted, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store. On the one hand, you should think of smaller units (5'x5' or 5'x10') as closets – they can be used to store chairs, lamps, moving boxes and sports equipment, along with smaller pieces of furniture, books and documents.

On the other hand, the 10'x10' and 10'x15' spaces are good for storing larger items of furniture, bicycles and a larger number of possessions. If you need even more space, then 10'x20' and 10'x30' units can easily accommodate the contents of an entire 3- or 4-bedroom house.

We know that when it comes to self storage, there is nothing more important than quickness and accessibility. Drive-up access is an extremely convenient amenity, as you can park your vehicle right next to your unit, making it significantly easier to load and unload the items you will use storage for. However, drive-up storage units tend to be outdoors, so you might consider indoor storage spaces with climate control if you're looking to keep temperature-sensitive items in peak condition.

Yes, you might, depending on what you need to put in storage. Climate-controlled spaces keep temperatures and humidity levels consistent all the time, which means they are perfect for storing sensitive items. Seeing that a whole host of things can be damaged by varying temperatures and excessive moisture, many people choose to rent climate-controlled units for personal items such as documents, photographs, paintings, collectibles, electronics, wooden furniture, antiques and even vehicles. If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
