I had a room on the 9th floor which had a rundown, somewhat dirty bathroom situation. I had to use the 10th floor bathroom one morning because ours was being cleaned (who schedules cleaning at 8:30 am?) and found it to be much better. The fitness center of course is top notch. And the price can’t be beat.

This is an amazing YMCA. It’s located next to everything and especially if you’re on a single trip this is where you wanna stay and see the city. Between this and public transit, New York has Affordable. Spend the money on something else not room and Ubers

If you don’t plan to spend much time in your room, this is the cheapest deal you can find. Proximity to Central Park and Columbus Circle subway station was ideal. Wish the bathrooms were cleaned maintained better.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

8/10 Very good

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.

Excellent property located in a very convenient spot in NYC, walking distance from so many hotspots and subway stations. Rooms are average but excellent for the cost! Having single person restrooms that you card key into is really nice compared to other hostels. Highly recommend

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).
