Beds need maintenance

Great location

Stayed in June 2024

Humming noise of the ventilator. Very flat pillow (had to buy proper one in Target).

Great location close to the Central park and Broadway. The pool was great.

Basic, quite noisy as Doors Slam

Location excellent, use of Gym swimming pool, good value for area

Stayed in May 2024

Towels are changed every 4 days. If you asked they give you one. The cleaning staff did not always. The swimming pool is only open from 10 to 4. Not a great time being in NY.

I had a room looking to Central Park, so that is a big plus! The location is also excellent They clean the bathrooms all the time

A little grim in decor

It is bare bobbed but very clean and seems safe

Walls too thin, it’s better to sleep with earplugs. Beds and pillows are not comfortable

Great location! Love it! The best price in Manhattan! We were traveling with my friend and we absolutely loved this place!

Smell of chemicals in the room

Perfect location in Manhattan

The building is poorly maintained. A leak in the bathroom ceiling made one of the toilets unusable due to constant wetness. Additionally, each floor has at least 15 rooms but only one bathroom for women, which contains just three showers and three toilets, one of which was out of order because of the leak.

Great location, comfy beds and nice staff.

Great Staff, easy checkin, great location.

Wasn’t too clean… Bed mattress was too stiff and uncomfortable.

Perfect location, best prices for budget travel

The room was very basic, not very clean. AC very loud, you can also hear everything what is happening outside of your room. I can not imagine to stay there during cold months as there are big gaps between AC and window.

Great location! Decent number of bathrooms so no issue with queues. Bathrooms clean and safe (floor 13) although I was missing some shelves or hangers where I can put my things.

It was cold in the room and the bed wasn't comfortable.

Location, price, view from the room. Semi-shared bathrooms were okay, there was always an empty one to use.

You aren't looking at luxury with this place, it is a youth hostel. I stayed in the deluxe private room with a semi private bathroom. I am glad I listened to people who suggested bringing shower shoes as the showers are pretty gross but bearable for a couple of days for the price (I just wouldn't want to walk in bare footed). I brought some earplugs which were helpful as there are always going to be some oblivious people playing music through the speakers on their phone at midnight outside your room *eyerolls* The bedding is exactly what you'd expect at a youth hostel, not luxury and pretty nobbley, but clean and dry.

The location and the price are unbeatable in New York City. It is about 1 minute walk from central park, 3 minute walk from the subway, 15-20 minute walk from times square and all the main Broadway theatres. Very safe neighborhood. Convenient luggage storage for $4 per item for the day. If you like to workout then you're in for a treat too, they have a very well equipped gym with lots of free weights, cardio, indoor run track, pool, racket sport courts, basketball court. Really fantastic facilities. The room is very basic but functional. I really liked that they had a fridge in the room, just big enough for some snacks and drinks but appreciated in the heat.

Definitely needs maintenance. Large gaps around air conditioner, and we were unable to block cold wind. Do not have high expectations. It is a YMCA, after all.

The location was great, and the staff were pleasant. Price was good for Manhatten.

The privacy in the shared bathroom is very limited. Facility is very old.

Location was perfect, right beside one of the entrances to Central Park, and close to Columbus Circle Subway Station.

Look, when you book a hostel you get a hostel. Its not hotel standard and that's okay :)

It was great. You get what you pay for and this was exceptionally cheap for NYC. Location was amazing, staff great. Its ultimately a cheap hostel so facilities/room are as such. No complaints from us. Thanks for a great stay

a bed that isn’t a box

the bed was not a bed it’s just a cardboard box. there was mold in the restroom, the floors were filthy, but the ac game was cold

Stayed in May 2024

Broken television with staff uninterested in repairing. Crowded shared bathrooms. Minimal mattress.

Great location adjacent Central Park, Lincoln Center, Whole Foods, Columbus Circle subways, food venders. Low cost private room. Has safe. Can use gym weight room and pool.

Bunk beds were okay. The floor in the room felt like my middle school. Some of the bathrooms were pretty messy. But not too bad.

I loved the location and use of the most amazing gym. I liked the size of the room and I love having a safe.

It's a bit pricey for what it is, but that happens.

Everything was smooth and easy. Staff were friendly and helpful. I felt safe and comfortable.

Too many rooms sharing the bathroom
