Very good value for the money, clean. Room was very small, but it had everything I needed - tv w cable, fridge, bed, and window - and I made it very comfortable. They could use a few more shelves and hooks so as to best utilize the tiny space. The room was very clean and comfortable, and very private. Despite many guests there, walls were nicely insulated and place was very quiet. Best value in NYC - 4 nights was only $480 and included all workout facilities, pool, and exercise classes. They have a little kitchen too on Floor 4 with ice, microwave, lounge, stove, etc.

Location is always important like the ease of getting where you want to go and the creature comforts around you like Starbucks, Just around the corner.

Francis, United States of America

Loved having security at the door 24/7. Location was great only a 20 min walk to Broadway and a 9 min walk to the subway with excellent food along the way.

Cynthia, United States of America

This hostel really is all about location, which truly is excellent. The place was also really clean so that's very much appreciated. The beds were ok, and it was nice to have a drinking fountain available. Overall I definitely had a positive experience, but quite possibly because of low season and the hostel wasn't crowded.

Marcusvc, Ireland

The general mood of the staff and guests was very good

Jorge, Brazil

It’s like a college dorm. Your own room with bed,dresser desk, tv and mini fridge. Shared bathrooms and showers but never had to wait. Full use of the facility including gym, pool and all the classes like yoga etc. greatest value for your money in NYC!

Andrea, United States of America

Good location within easy walking distance of Times Square. The shared bathrooms were clean. Compared to other hostels we have stayed in, the rooms and hallways felt very calm and quiet. The luggage storage room uses receipts so it felt like a secure place to leave our belongings after we had checked out.

I didn't like some residents were noisy however it's a hostel so I guess it's part of the deal.
The location is fantastic and all within walking distance of New York's major attractions. The room was basic but comfy enough for a short stay. Overall good value for money.

Dorm style rooms where the heating didn't work (but it was still warm enough) and the restrooms could have been kept a little cleaner.
I loved the location, price and staff at Vanderbilt YMCA. It is a budget stay so nothing fancy, you are sharing a shower and restroom so it is not the most comfortable but a decent/safe place to spend a few nights. It is within 1 mile walking distance to Times Square and even closer to reach the subway.

“Excellent value and location”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Standard Single Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 4 nights
Radiator heat presented a few problems - rooms were very very warm (I was on the 9th floor out of 10) - the pipes made knocking noises once in awhile, and I had to keep the window open (in December) and the air conditioner ON to keep the room cool enough. So if you are staying in summer, beware and opt for a lower floor. The elevators also took awhile, but other than that, place was awesome.
Very good value for the money, clean. Room was very small, but it had everything I needed - tv w cable, fridge, bed, and window - and I made it very comfortable. They could use a few more shelves and hooks so as to best utilize the tiny space. The room was very clean and comfortable, and very private.
