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.

Shaalmali, United States of America

The location is perfect for the Metropolitan Opera, and there’s good, moderate shopping. The area is so clean! The activities around the plaza are great. I feel completely safe in the Y and also for walking the area. The clerks in the snack bar were very pleasant, as were the housekeepers. Offering Starbucks coffee is a plus.

Rose, United States of America

The location, the informal atmosphere, the “history” value, the general attitude of people.

Massimo, United States of America

Super location and great value for the money. This is not a fancy hotel but my room was clean and functional, the bed was comfortable and the staff very helpful. I felt safe there with 24 hour security and the locks on my room door. Another plus is mixing with people of different ages and from different countries. I did not make use of the gym facilities but that is a great option for the $10 fee charged. The elevators worked and there are stairs. I would book a room here again because of the location including proximity to the subway, the neighborhood , and Central Park. Luggage can be stored on day of checkout for a minimal fee.

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.
The location and the price compared with what can be found around.

“Good location, few perks like gym and swimming pool (if you need it), but not comfortable even if you just need a bed an”
- • Solo traveler
- • Deluxe Single Room Semi-private bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Rooms are just ugly, very old, basic things are missing, like power outlets - you need to unplug the fridge in order to charge your phone. If you need to charge a couple of gadgets overnight - forget about it. No bedside table, just no place for your items you need to have within arm’s reach. Even if you need just a bed, shower, and place to store your belongings - it can be much more comfortable with just a few very simple things added, that owners just don’t care about. It is cheap, but nevertheless I felt that it is an overpayment for what I’ve got.
Location is very convenient, accessible gym, it is more then just a hotel - they have various activities on the site, like yoga classes, etc., however this might not be relevant if you just need a place to spend a night and store your belongings while spending a day in the city.
