I first stayed here 10 years ago in 1998 when travelling with some university friends. When returning to NYC for the first time with my fiance as part of a longer trip, our restricted budget made me decide to stay here again. In many ways I wished I had left this with my other memories of being 19 as returning... more

This is THE DEAL...LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION at hard to match rates. If you are looking for a five star hotel, this aint it! If you are on a budget & you are looking for a place to stay that is secure, clean, and well priced...this is it. Oh and did I mention the location. Within five blocks, this is what... more

The Westside Y is a couple of blocks north of Columbus Circle/59th Street subway station and was an easy walk, even with luggage. The area is pretty salubrious and fine to walk round, at any time. Reception was busy but efficient and friendly and we were soon in our rooms. I had a room on the 10th floor, with a... more

Ok, first off if you are looking for ritzy..this is not the place for you. I actually loved this place!! The location can not be beat for the price. The rooms are small but cozy. The AC is controlled by you so it can be as cold as you may like it. There are extra blankets in the closet (yes... more

1. Room, I stayed in a single on a refurbished floor, which was a little bit more expensive than the other flors. The room was about 9 foot x 9 foot square. At the end of the bed was about 3 foot of free floor space, ideal for storing your luggage. On the othere side of the room was a... more

The Rooms are Small, really small but what a wonderful location. It is so easy to get around Manhatten from here, columbus Circle is just three small blocks away. Time Square is about 5minute subway ride away. We rarely had to wait for a bathroom but I sugest that you ask for a room away from the elevators and bathrooms... more

We stayed at the West Side Y between May 17th - May 19th and LOVED it. It was a great location right across the street from Central Park and right down the street from Columbus Circle. The rooms are a little small but what do you want from NYC especially for the price you pay. The one night it rained... more

I booked the YMCA after a quit bewildering search for cheap accommodation in NYC, and am quite glad I did. I went for a "deluxe" room, right up on the 13th floor, the room itself reminded me of university halls (But with a nicer bathroom!) but was perfectly adequate, and as plenty of people have said, you don't spend much... more

This was our second time staying here, on a group trip both times, and in rooms on the "premier" floors (12th and 13th). The elevators are now high-speed, which is a huge improvement over before, but I didn't see much evidence of the other guest room renovations mentioned on the Y's website. The shared bathrooms are a pain even if... more
