Central and good basics

Amazing location, kind staff, and good basic accomodations. I had single room with the necessary amenities incl. a small fridge which was nice. The bed was on wheels and would move around during the night which was annoying. Easy access to Central Park and Columbus Circle was great and overall it was a good experience.

Great hostel option in NYC. Quiet, clean, and a great location. Bathrooms have a code and a showers have a stall so you do have reasonable privacy/security.

It’s was a nice place & very clean, but it needs a big renovation.
Alec, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location is excellent and the staff is also amazing and super helpful. The only downside is the shared bathrooms, they urgently need renovation. The doora of the loo do not close. The bathrooms are terrifying.

The YMCA is a great place to stay in, its pretty close to the subway and next to central park. The only thing I didn't like about it was the looks of the space commons, it kinda feel like you were in jail, but besides that its an amazing hostel. I'd definitely go back to it.

You pay for the fantastic location. That’s it.

You are paying for the location which is amazing. That’s it. Otherwise, What’s to be expected in a generic hostel. I love the YMCA in general but this place has seen better days. Bunk beds were falling apart, lumpy mattresses, ladder for top bunk bed was broken, getting down was a gymnastic exercise, floor lamp broken, very much bare minimum. Shared womens bathroom needed ventilation and better floor drainage. Three showers for a huge floor with many rooms, only one shower with hot water. Glad it was only 2 nights

It was good. Would stay there again. Also the staff were friendly when I had an issue and resolved.
Gregory, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Excellent location, easy check in, able to store a bag, and the price is unbeatable. Lost a star because the bathroom was a mess this time. Not dirty, but puddles of water on the floor next to the sinks, handles fell off the shower, sinks wouldn’t turn off, etc. Stayed on an upper floor last time with single person bathrooms and they were much nicer than the 8th floor with 3 person bathrooms.

2/10 Poor

If you are checking in with a group, EACH person must have their passports otherwise security will not let them in.
aanisha, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

First thing first, they charge an extra 10 dollar per night when you check in. Then Very tiny and old room. Noisy window A/C unit.

8/10 Very good

Great location close to subway, Central Park and Broadway. Gym and pool were fabulous. Reception staff were very helpful. Rooms and bathrooms are older, often things didn't work eg lamp or no chair in the room and the bathrooms were cramped.

Bet was too noisy. Wakes you up when changing positions during sleep

Clean but sparse furnishings, but that's what I wanted. I didn't go to NYC to spend all my time in a hotel room. Easy check in, great cardio room, quiet, clean bathrooms. Close to Lincoln Center, Central Park, Columbus Circle. I will stay here again.

Camillus, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

room with bad beds, bathrooms in terrible condition, the showers didn't heat the water, I had to take a cold shower, the only thing worth it is the location
Guilherme, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was perfect. Bathroom could be cleaner but it worked. Night was cold and heater didn’t work, only 2 thin blankets. Pillow was terrible! Plastic? Bedding needs some work. Very safe though- didn’t ever feel vulnerable. Man at front desk was very friendly.
