Best location of any hotel in Manhattan! Single-occupancy bathrooms/showers on 12th floor are worth trying to book a room on the 12th floor. (Or maybe all the restrooms have been renovated now). I wish there was an outlet near the bed, though.

Room was fine (basic, dorm style, no sink). Staff were very friendly. Bathroom was a mess (big puddle all day, broken fixtures). But amazing location. Worth it for the price.

A great place for a single traveler who just needs a bed, clean sheets, clean bathroom and a bonus of a full health club(although if you check in at 3pm the pool and steam/sauna close at 4.

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.

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!
