The location and facilities were very nice. Easy to access the best that Manhattan has to offer. Central Park is right across the street and Broadway, Times Square, and lower Manhattan are a short subway ride away!

The facilities were quite well for what I paid for. My sister and I had a standard bunk bed in a private room. It was spacious and there was also a desk and a chair. For the shared bathrooms, most of them were clean and tidy. There were enough numbers of bathrooms, we didn’t have to line up for it both in the morning or at night.

Rooms were typical old fashioned hostel rooms, basic and small. Bunkbeds didn't feel stable and squeeked with slightest movement. Air conditioning unit loud. Bathrooms were in good condition although shower temperature not constant.
Because it was YMCA, the fitness facilities were actually really good with lots on offer.

“Nice home for NYC”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
For travellers alone, it is pretty hard to meet people since there is not really a common area. Downstairs next to the take away place is a kind of sitting area but that should really be pimped up! It is kind of a cold area with some old uncomfortable chairs and not really part of the hostel, which is a shame since it is such a nice big place.
I'd really like the place, proper NYC experience with the breakfast take away place in the Hostel. I'd love starting my morning there. Has loads of facilities for swimming to sports. I didn't use it, but it is there. Showers and toilets were super clean.

Genuinely nothing I can fault the place for. For the location and the pool facilities it was great value for money and I would absolutely stay there again if I visited New York.
The location was excellent. Having access to the pool, spa, steam room was great as well. We shared a bunk room on the 13th floor. All toilets/showers on this floor combined into single rooms off the corridor so nice and private. Towels were changed every day and the ream serviced each day. TV and fridge in the room too. Small shop in reception selling coffee and small snacks which was very handy. 1 minute walk from the front door and you were in Central Park.

“But it's cheap though... ”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 9 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Only 3 ladies toilets and showers per floor which has 75 rooms. Showers at the 9th floor were cold most of the time. We asked several staff members but no one did something about it. They just said that we should keep the water running for a while which ofcourse we tried already. Beds were not changed and only made twice during our 10 day stay. Security staff got quite mad at us at day 8 because we didn't show our card when we walked in, but they never told us we had to do that. Two times our room key didn't work.
Amazing location. Swimming pool with towel service.

“Totally ok and for the price good value”
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Long check in times, really loud floors AND noise from the outside, we heard every door and every bed movement, bed was really uncomfortable, AC was really weak
The employees were friendly and helpful, even though the check in took ages. Room was ok, if you don’t have a problem, that as soon as you moves anyone else in the floor will hear it, and it’s not really comfortable. But for New York standard it was definitely good and I would say even better than some **** hotels. Half private bathroom was totally ok, also if you’re not used to it. For a really short term, I would book it again. Especially because you can use everything in the building including the pool and the courses, no extra charges. It was also pretty close to the city centre.

“Good choice.”
- • Leisure trip

The receptionist when we first arrived was unfriendly and unhelpful. She wouldn't even give me change for the luggage check in and made me go out to the shop, which the helpful security guard informed us she shouldn't have done and he too was disgusted. I was a bit shocked that we had to pay $2 per bag to check in, on top of the $500 we had already spent on the room. In any hostel I have stayed in this has been complimentary. Especially with the check in being so late in the day guest shouldn't be charged extra. The room was pretty small too, and it was hard to maneuver around with our bags. The bed also wasn't overly comfortable. The bathroom was shared with the whole level, with a passcode to enter. This didn't bother me, but there was never any paper towel which surprised me as the cleaners came regularly every morning to the room. The great facilities definitely made up for all that the room was lacking.
The staff were very nice and friendly, with the exception of the staff at the check in desk. The facilities were great. Unfortunately, we were not able to check in til 3pm but the very friendly and helpful security guard let us check in our bags in the storage room and let us know that there were locker rooms upstairs where we could have a shower. This was great as we had just gotten off a 12 hour bus ride. The hostel was very different then anyone I've stayed in before, equipped with a pool, sauna, steam room and so much more that we never got time to use. Although there was no breakfast available, there was an affordable and fairly well stocked little shop in the lobby that we got our breakfast from each morning. Thankfully, there was AC in our room, as being the middle of Summer in New York it was absolutely boiling! The location was great, right beside central park, down the road from a subway station and only about 15/20 walk from Times Square. Overall it was a good pick.
