The personnel was not friendly. They were difficult to reach out to. I have an additional charge on my credit card which I cannot explain. I have been leaving messages on the hostel answering machine for about 2 weeks now and no one is returning my calls.

Sabina, United States of America

Great location. Room and shared bathrooms very clean. Bed linens looked very new and bath towel was a good size and fluffy. Small refrigerator in room. Very modern and immaculate bathroom.

Jessica, United States of America

I think this has value for money, but don't expect any luxury.

2nd time I stayed at the Vanderbilt YMCA. Great Staff, great Location. Rooms are small and clean and shared bathrooms are clean. Fresh towels and bed made up every day.. Cannot be beat for the price..

David, Canada

Decent location as Manhattan goes. There was a fridge in the room which was helpful. The bathrooms were immaculate and available at all hours. TV worked well and the bed was comfortable.

Norry, United States of America

Use of gym and steam room. Large room with table and chairs, dresser. Wonderful neighborhood resource, which you are in the midst of--families with small children coming to swim or dance.

“Expensive, uncomfortable, noisy & poor value.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Standard Twin Room with Shared Bathroom and Sink
- • Stayed 4 nights
See above - almost everything. Only the location is very good.
We chose this hostel because of the location (which is very good), but despite being extremely expensive (tho' 'reasonable' for Manhattan) we did NOT like this place. The double rooms (bunkbeds) are absolutely TINY. Barely room to move. We had two of these double rooms. One had no ladder for the - very rickety - bunk bead. The other had a small desk but no chair. We called housekeeping to ask for a ladder and chair, but nothing arrived (finally the cleaning staff helped us). There are not enough toilets and showers on each floors, and the ones that are there are very basic indeed. Our rooms were directly opposite the women's toilets and the heavy door BANGED every time anyone went in and out - every few minutes through out the nights. Torture! If you want to take part in the exercise classes, are travelling with little or no luggage (no room for it), are deaf or happy to use heavy duty ear plugs, and have loads of money to spend, then this place may be acceptable. Otherwise we suggest you avoid it.

“Reasonable budget option for NYC but next time I'd probably pay more to have some peace.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Standard Single Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
It's annoying that you have to pay extra to leave a bag when checking out. My room was at the end of a corridor immediately above a heavy duty extractor fan or air con units, which churned out noise all night long. There aren't enough bathrooms for the number of rooms on the floor where I was staying: there was just one small men's bathroom (with two showers) and it was a LONG way from the room. I don't mind sharing a bathroom but wasn't expecting this.
The location was perfect for where I needed to be (in the vicinity of Museum Mile). Also it's good that you can use the gym, including the classes.

Room was pretty small and toilets had to be shared with a full floor which was a bit too much. We knew we had to share but not with that many.
Great location and friendly staff. The swimming pool and other sports facilities were awesome as well!
