2/10 Poor

Had to leave as the room was grubby, and there were cockroaches. Awaiting a refund

Very good and cheap to just stay for the night, close to central park, and subways!

2/10 Poor

Poor communication. My flight was delayed until the next day. Despite many attempts to let them know and request to hold the reservation, it took them more than 24 hours to get back to me. I tried phone (many times), Hotel.com messaging and Hotel.com help desk (where they finally replied after > 24 hours). I don't need this kind of stress on top of the missed flight.

Favorite place to stay because of very affordable room rates. .like the walkable parks nearby the subway and buses for quick transportation and the best is the food cuisine nyc has to offer

8/10 Very good

Great location close to subway, Central Park and Broadway. Gym and pool were fabulous. Reception staff were very helpful. Rooms and bathrooms are older, often things didn't work eg lamp or no chair in the room and the bathrooms were cramped.

Bet was too noisy. Wakes you up when changing positions during sleep
Ibrahim, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

6/10 Good

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.

I called several times and could not reach the ymca west side. No one seems to ever answer the phone nor did I know how to leave a message. I could not utilize my reservation, at the last minute and wanted to communicate this and ask to see if I could transfer it to a date next week.
Susan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great Location. Good for solo traveler. Great gym facilities. Rooms a bit dated but fine for the price.
Carl, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room is good but pillow is very uncomfortable. Three bathroom stalls but only one closes, three shower stalls but only one has decent pressure. One night I had to shower with no hot water. Front desk won’t call you a taxi and you have to pay $4 dollars per bag for them to keep it if you come early for check out
Thais, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was clean. The toilets, showers and sinks were not clean. The mats at the gym were not clean either. The a/c in my room was not working properly but it got the room cool enough. The a/c was extremely noisy. The blinds in the room were broken. The hallway was terribly noisy. The rooms are mainly occupied by young students and most of them did lack respect by playing music with their room door open for every body to hear or setting up their speakers in the bathrooms. I was staying for a week. Every morning, evening and night, students would knock at my door thinking it was one of their fellow’s room or they would just knock for fun and run away.
Marie-Joëlle, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Budget lodging near Lincoln Center The M7 and M11 stop at the corner on Broadway. There is no restaurant in the buildlng. I stayed in room 824. The safe was large enough for a 13-inch laptop. The television linked to news. There was an attractive mirrro. The bed was uncomfortable. There was no sheet. The mattress was lumpy. I had trouble finding any position for sleep. The chain lock was missing a bolt; it could not be locked.

Amazing location but I don’t recommend.

Great location. Gym access huge plus. Wish bath mats were provided for shared bathroom.

8/10 Very good

I will recommend YMCA for good price and convenient transportation and short distance to Lincoln Center for watching shows.
Yingxin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a YMCA so it's not fair to expect the Waldorf for the prices they charge. For the money, it's hard to beat if you're looking for budget accomodation in Midtown; fantastic location a block from Lincoln Center and some of the rooms even have views of Central Park. Bathrooms are mostly shared and mine had hot water problems but staff were great.
