Gregory, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

This property has major plumbing issues, shower backs up and overflows, no hot water, leaky sink. This place remind me of a homeless shelter.

Great value
Shawn, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Pros: location, location, location. Cons: less shower/bath space. Only 3 for each floor cannot be quite crowded during peak time.
Haodong, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property is a half block away from Central Park and a few blocks away from the subway. Lots to do in the area and plenty of shopping choices

Luke, 5-night trip

4/10 Poor

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.
YOON HEE, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.

Adrian, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

Property was in seriois disrepair. Roaring noise during night vibrated the bed.
Anne, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Stayed here a few times and have no issues at all. Like staying here and coming back again.
Gregory, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

I had to pay an additional $60 during check-in. When I asked why, I was told it was a service fee. I thought I made all my payments through Expedia. If possible, I would like my money back that was taken under the name of service fee.
Çaglar, 6-night trip

Good , safe, clean plane to stay.
Milena, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It’s was a nice place & very clean, but it needs a big renovation.
Alec, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was clean. It is what it is.
Brian, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Maria Guadalupe, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
Angela, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

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

10/10 Excellent

The YMCA is a great place to stay in, its pretty close to the subway and next to central park. The only thing I didn't like about it was the looks of the space commons, it kinda feel like you were in jail, but besides that its an amazing hostel. I'd definitely go back to it.
Nicolás, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

There are not enough toilets for all occupants.
