Pros: location, location, location. Cons: less shower/bath space. Only 3 for each floor cannot be quite crowded during peak time.

Estuvo bueno, sirve mucho si paseas todo el día y solo necesitas lugar para dormir. Las camas y almohadas son algo toscas pero está pasable. Hay piscina y sauna disponible para los huéspedes. Es muy seguro. Detalles: La máquina de bebidas de mi piso no funcionaba y había que ir a otros pisos a comprar. También el techo del baño se cayó una noche, lo bueno es que lo arreglaron por la mañana. Estuvo bien para el precio y para la ubicación que es excelente.

I had to pay an additional $60 during check-in. When I asked why, I was told it was a service fee. I thought I made all my payments through Expedia. If possible, I would like my money back that was taken under the name of service fee.

We had our own room, I have to say it is well maintained considering the facility’s age. The staff was kind, and the location was great. Unfortunately, my aunt on the bottom bunk bed couldn’t sleep due to bed bug bites. I’m not sure if I could request a refund for this inconvenience.

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.

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
