    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”

    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 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.

    Six years ago, we stayed at this same place, and it was a very pleasant experience, and we expected that this time, but it didn't happen. The reception staff were unfriendly and overly serious when it came to welcoming tourists. Even from what we noticed while we were waiting in line, only the baggage handler was very friendly. The bathrooms were awful, smelly, and poorly maintained. The room had a table that looked like it had been pulled from the garbage. The waitress reminded us up to three times, around 9:30 a.m., that we were checking out that day, until I angrily reminded her that our checkout was at 11:00 a.m. Unfortunately, before this, I had always recommended that the YMCA was comfortable, hygienic, and worth the money, but they let us down.

    I have a walking stick and asked them to think about that when allocating my room. I was given 8th floor and room was farthest away from lift and toilets -!they just didn’t care and the $30 they ask for on arrival is not mentioned when booking the break.
