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.

I didn't like at all that the bathroom & room doors were constantly slamming shut in a very loud way; & the YMCA should find an expert to fix that type of terrible problem. Otherwise, constantly banging doors shut can keep their paying guests from falling asleep & getting some rest at night.

I called several times and could not reach the ymca west side. No one seems to ever answer the phone nor did I know how to leave a message. I could not utilize my reservation, at the last minute and wanted to communicate this and ask to see if I could transfer it to a date next week.

The shower was cold. Had to wait it for someone else to turn on their shower to get hot water. Location is amazing. Bring your own pillow case.

Next to Central Park and a couple minutes walk to the subway which was convenient for getting around the city. Plenty of shops nearby for food and drinks. Room was basic but that’s all I needed. Bathroom was in a good condition

The location is excellent for visiting NYC. The room was ok and was clean but not very roomy. It was good enough to sleep but not to linger for long, so if you tour all day its fine but not to stay for 1/2 day. I would recommend for a young single person not a family.

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.

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.

Great place for a one night stay just for sleep, however staff need to take their responsibilities more; it was 1 am when me and four other guests were waiting almost 35 minutes waiting for him, until we found out that he left mid shift to “pick up food”
