We had our own room, I have to say it is well maintained considering the facility’s age. The staff was kind, and the location was great. Unfortunately, my aunt on the bottom bunk bed couldn’t sleep due to bed bug bites. I’m not sure if I could request a refund for this inconvenience.
Excellent location. Clean. Friendly staff. Pool looks inviting. Some loud ppl at night. Midwest prices in a clean comfortable facility in the middle of Manhattan- awesome.
Stayed here a few times and have no issues at all. Like staying here and coming back again.

I had to pay an additional $60 during check-in. When I asked why, I was told it was a service fee. I thought I made all my payments through Expedia. If possible, I would like my money back that was taken under the name of service fee.
It’s was a nice place & very clean, but it needs a big renovation.

I didn't like at all that the bathroom & room doors were constantly slamming shut in a very loud way; & the YMCA should find an expert to fix that type of terrible problem. Otherwise, constantly banging doors shut can keep their paying guests from falling asleep & getting some rest at night.

Excellent location, easy check in, able to store a bag, and the price is unbeatable. Lost a star because the bathroom was a mess this time. Not dirty, but puddles of water on the floor next to the sinks, handles fell off the shower, sinks wouldn’t turn off, etc. Stayed on an upper floor last time with single person bathrooms and they were much nicer than the 8th floor with 3 person bathrooms.
The YMCA is a great place to stay in, its pretty close to the subway and next to central park. The only thing I didn't like about it was the looks of the space commons, it kinda feel like you were in jail, but besides that its an amazing hostel. I'd definitely go back to it.
