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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am a women in my mid thirties. I stayed here for a couple of days in the end of May. The room was small with no bathroom. The pillow was quite uncomfortable. Fortunately, the aircon worked perfectly well. The room seemed pretty clean as well. Now for the facilities. The womens bathroom was cleaned on a regular basis. However, I saw a cockroach there during my second night. The staff promised me they would take care of it. The swimming pool was excellent. The womens wardrobe was clean with hundreds of lockers. Speaking of the staff - they did an excellent job. I felt welcomed and safe. They helped me out if I had any questions or concerns. I find that a huge plus since English is not my first language. The location of this hotel is top notch. I was able to find this despite it being my first time in NYC. The subways and Central Park are VERY close to the hotel. There were several restaurants, a Target plus a Sephora nearby too.
