It's an hostel, so don't expect the comfort you will get in a real hotel. The price is very good for NY city center. The hostel is on 47th, very close to the United Nation building (2min walk), Grand Central (5min walk) and Rockefeller Center (15min walk). The room was very small, but I wasn't planning to spend any time... more

I stayed at this hostal quite some time ago but I thought I'd add my review anyway. I had no problem with the YMCA. Having looked at the prices for a hotel in New York City, the price was right at the Y. I knew it was not going to be fancy and I was right. Extremely small rooms that... more

So I know its been a while since I stayed here, but I thought I would put up a review anyways. I have stayed here twice, the most recent trip was for 2 weeks(This is what I will be basing my review upon). ROOMS My friend and I booked the Y in 3 different slots, which meant 3 different rooms(this... more

There were crazy people all over the place. People who talked to themselves and made strange comments. The place added to the feeling of being locked in a mental institution. It was just creepy. The staff had an attitude of it's not my responsibility and I am not going to help you. Very frustrating. more

During my extended stay, some of the rooms, on a different floor, I heard had bed bugs. While my room didn't, or didn't seem to, it was very small, but sufficient. What I didn't like was that everyday when I tried to take a shower and brush my teeth, a custodian was cleaning the bathroom. It didn't matter what time... more

Ok, make sure you read all of this! I always write full and fare reviews.... Firstly this hostel was sooooooooooooo cheap. A twin room for three nights £165. Certainly wont find anything cheaper than that. BUT If you like a bit of sleep spend some more money pleeeeease! The location is really great. Minutes walk to Rockefeller centre, Empire State,... more

My husband and I stayed here in October. There were no bed bugs which other reviews stated and rooms were clean. This place is very small but if you are on a budget it works for the location. Staff was very helpful!! more

overall the hotel was okay, great location very cheap and secure. if you just want somewhere to sleep for the night and somewhere to leave your stuff this is ideal. The hotel has a communal bathrooms that are extremely clean and a gym for guests. bad points - rooms can be noisy, air conditioning unit noisy. room sizes small, staff... more

Walls and doors are paper thin and there is no curfew so people were talking all through the night. The bed was uncomfortable and sparse and there wasn't even a kitchen. Great location but that's about it. more
