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.

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.

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. Clean. Friendly staff. Pool looks inviting. Some loud ppl at night. Midwest prices in a clean comfortable facility in the middle of Manhattan- awesome.

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.

Was there for 2 nights. Quick and efficient check-in. Clean room but Tv not in proper function.
J Richard, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

It’s was a nice place & very clean, but it needs a big renovation.

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

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.
Marina A, 2-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.

The “deluxe” rooms are nicer than their standard rooms with shared bathrooms that are a series of standalone bathrooms which you can use with privacy: in other words not the dorm like / gym locker room like bathrooms in the non-deluxe rooms
Maria, 1-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.
