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.

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.

tv set up very poor, had to have a maint guy come and set it all up, even then, changing stations or returning to a previous station, difficult at best, TV set up terrible. Rest ok and what you'd expect at a Y.

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

Just what I was looking for - somewhere inexpensive to sleep the night away after attending a workshop. Great location! There was a $10 registration fee when I checked in that I didn't know about; but, was happy to pay. Basically, a worn yet clean dorm room (tv, free wifi, heat, air condition) and clean shared bathrooms (single and multiple - your key or code lets you in). Traveling alone and female, I felt very safe at the YMCA. The building is locked after operation hours - 9:00pm/weekdays and 5:00pm weekends - security or your room key lets you into building after hours. If you like more than an adequate towel, bring your own. Even though I spent Saturday night there, it was quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful. I am happy to have found the YMCA and look forward to staying there again.

The room was small- BUT WHAT a VIEW!!! Location, Location, Location! A block off Central Park, Lincoln center for morning coffee… it’s an old YMCA - but the ambiance is charming/ just don’t forget your shower slippers. Housekeeping staff - amazing! Children’s art projects displayed in the lobby made my stay perfection!
The window may have needed cleaning/ my phone. But my memory is PERFECT!

Probably the best location and best price for a budget traveller. I felt like I was able to experience New York to its fullest potential, and was able to actually afford it! Modest room and amenities, but so accessible and close to everything (Central Park is literally outside your door). Friendly staff, clean room/bathroom, a diverse mix of guests. Would stay again.
