Great location and having access to the Y's full gym and pool is fantastic. The accommodations are dorm-like, but definitely better than hostel with private bedrooms with a mini fridge and individual shared bathrooms rather than a multi-stall public bathroom. I felt safe, and it was very quiet. Overall, it's not as comfortable as a traditional hotel, but the gym, location, and value make it an excellent option for someone traveling on a budget.

Room was like a prison cell. Linens were disgusting. Never returning. There are much better places in better locations for just $20 more. For a place to stay, don't book.

Spartan accomodations. Which is what u expect for the lower price. Room very small but clean. Bedding is minimal and window heat/air on unit runs non stop and is brutally noisy. Bathroom was clean and close to room. Location excellent. Gym access excellent (for an extra 10 bucks).

I had an amazing stay at the YMCA West Side in New York City! If you’re planning a small trip or even a solo getaway, this is such a great option. The price was extremely reasonable for NYC, especially considering the location. It felt very secure the entire time, which is so important when traveling alone. What I loved most was how quiet. It is perfect for resting after busy days exploring the city. Clean, simple, and peaceful. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a safe, affordable, and low-stress stay in NYC!
