Pros +

  • This hotel is in an excellent location. The beds were very comfy!
  • Price, Good AC, access to gym
  • For New York the staff was friendly and helpful about storing my luggage until 3pm. Also, it was great being able to work out with excellent sports equipment and pool.

Cons -

  • It would have been nice to be near the women’s restroom and showers rather than by the men’s.
  • Dirty, toilets clogged for days without getting cleaned, significant water damage everywhere, showers under construction, doors shut loudly waking you up through night, hot in hallways, dirty floors.
  • There were a lot of teenagers without a visible chaperone on our floor, and they were loud starting at about 6 o''clock in the morning. Many of them did not speak English, though, so when we asked them to be quiet, we got blank stares.

This hotel was inexpensive (for New York City), and while the bunk bed room and shared bathroom/shower situation was more like camp than a hotel room, I was definitely ok with that for the star level and price. Plus, the Y offers a full-sized gym and pool

Location was great. Price was good. This place is fine if you are on a budget and don't mind sharing a bathroom with a whole floor.

This was more of a hostel. Bare bones rooms and shared bathrooms. Stayed here in a pinch but there is nothing luxury about this place. Had a bunk bed and it was not that comfortable. This place is showing its age and can use a renovation.

I booked a room on your app successfully at 14th. When I arrived that hotel, they didn''t allow me to check in, and said that my reservation was made too late. I instantly had a call to your staff but didnt get response from you.

2Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 4-15-2018

I chose it for location, but never will do it again. You basically get a Bank bed with no toilet/ shower nearby. I was never in my room, but you can't even breathe in this space

Distance from shared bath

Price was right for a busy weekend! Semi-private estrooms were very clean, never had to wait. Room was clean and sufficent for sleeping.

Not a fan of the bunk beds, would have preferred a double. Tight quarters.

We were given a cubicle with a bunk bed and shared bathroom, u can imagine how comfortable it would be for a senior citizen

Their unwillingness to hear our problems.

Clean showers and room.

Front desk nasty

10DianaPosted on: 11-14-2016

The price, location and the amenities. Excellent gym and pool included in the price.

6FangzhengPosted on: 6-22-2016

They have gym and good location.

the room is very small and the employee made a mistake that giving me the wrong room. I didn't argue about it because this is not my persenality but they make mistakes.

10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 6-12-2016

The location and the cleanliness of the linens. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Lock was broken and there was a desk but no chair. Check-in took a bit longer than I would have liked. I knew the bathrooms are shared, but two toilets in ladies' room for the entire floor was not adequate.

8PaulusPosted on: 4-4-2016

The location was perfect, very close to the UN as I wanted. Also cleanliness was good.

Yes, the WiFi was okay for normal browsing but was weak for Skyping. I could not Skype at all to talk to my family back home, and I had to wait until I go to work to get a better connection.

7Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 10-20-2015

The rooms were clean although spartan and small. Also it was nice having the woman's shower room pass code locked. Security guards seemed nice as well.

Our tv remote did not work and the rooms where tiny. But all we really needed was a place to sleep so it served its purpose.

2Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-24-2015

location is in the Manhattan downtown, and it is just two blocks walking distance to subway station

the room is very small, besides bunk beds, there is hardly enough room for standing

6Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-3-2015

The mattress were thin and uncomfortable. There was gum on top of the bottom bunk from the last person there. Which made me wonder if the room was even cleaned. The common showers were extremely dirty, you'll deffinetly want shower shoes.

9Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 7-14-2015

The rooms were very clean, the price was very reasonable for only being a mile away from Times Square New York. Since it was a YMCA, as guests we had access to the pools and work out facilities.

The bathrooms were kind of old and dirty.

9ZhikePosted on: 5-26-2015

Very good location, and very clean.

The bed is not that comfortable
