The location is unbeatable, since my favorite part of New York City is Central Park, which is right across the street.

Adam, United States of America

Location beside Central Park and near to underground was perfect. The gym facilities were clean and very well maintained. The mattress was very comfortable - medium-firm and clean.

Jameshorton, United States of America

Good clean room in a place near Lincoln Center. Can’t beat the price! Also, a nice convenience store on the premises, to buy drinks to store in the fridge. My single room had a fridge & color TV with CNN, Fox News and other cable channels. Excellent self-controlled A/C.

Jeannettenabatov, United States of America

Everything was really clean and the location was fabulous

Maria, United States of America

Location great. Shared bathrooms were private.International ambiance.

Cynthia, United States of America

it's a great location and a wonderful historic building. The rooms are aged but have the basics and the basics work.

Michael, United States of America

Staff was friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for me: right between Central Park and the Lincoln Center. The gym facilities are extensive and well-maintained. I was staying on the floor with private single rooms and semi-private bathrooms, and there was almost always a bathroom available without a wait.

Heidi, United States of America

I appreciate YMCA, this is the 6th time I come here, and I will be back soon.

Dragos, Romania

My room was on a corner so from a small window on the side I had a stunning view of Central Park. The room, although small and very plain was neat and cute. The bed was good. The other guests I ran into were friendly and accommodating. Staff were helpful.

Artlover, United States of America

This was my second stay and i'll definitely stay again if i revisit NY. It has all the facilities along with being clean. No noise disturbance either. A perfect stay at a perfect place.

Though it was a shared bathroom for most rooms in the floor, water was not coming in some wash basins sometimes during the day. But the shower had hot and cold water all the time.
Location. Very close to Columbus Circle Subway ( 400 metres ) in the heart of the City. Central Park is just 100 metres and Times Square is 1 mile from this property. Very safe place to stay.

Too much fuss to use the pools...cannot simply dress in your swimsuit & cover up and show up...must go through locker rooms, even if you’re staying there and can change in your room. Also, they’re Very secretive in giving info on pool hours...didn’t answer my phone calls days before. They try hard to keep hotel guests from the indoor pools.
Good clean room in a place near Lincoln Center. Can’t beat the price! Also, a nice convenience store on the premises, to buy drinks to store in the fridge. My single room had a fridge & color TV with CNN, Fox News and other cable channels. Excellent self-controlled A/C.

I wish there was 2 chairs in the room! Also an extra pillow would have been nice. And the ladder, so didn't have to use the air con to climb to the top bunk....
Location was perfect! The rooms with shared bathroom were a bit prison-like... It was ok for sleeping, but if you got bad legs, getting to the top bunk is very difficult (there is no ladder). The location made up for the shortcomings, and our 2-night stay was ok overall.

Incomfortable bed, not so clean bathrooms (Deppending on the moment of day), very noisy in the night first because of the poor windows then because of the people. Only the floors and the tv are new in this hotel. The air conditioning is not actually an air conditioning. Towels are not so clean.
