    We had our own room, I have to say it is well maintained considering the facility’s age. The staff was kind, and the location was great. Unfortunately, my aunt on the bottom bunk bed couldn’t sleep due to bed bug bites. I’m not sure if I could request a refund for this inconvenience.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
