    This is a good hotel for the price. I stayed for a couple days by myself and had very little issues. The staff was nice and helpful with my couple of service demands. The only issue I had was that the showers oddly alternated between hot and cold water because the shower knob was a little flimsy. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to come to New York but is on a bit of a tighter budget.

    Easily the worst hostel I have ever stayed at. Floors of the room were filthy. Hallways stunk. There was poop all over the washrooms. I know it’s a hostel and standards aren’t going to be the highest and I come knowing that but I figured at least bare minimal cleanliness standards would be at least slightly met. No issues with the staff I interacted with but I had very little interaction with them. If you’re looking to stay at a hostel, spend a little more and try the International Student Center.

    I like that you can check in at anytime after 3, I used the hotel because I worked that day and I did not want to commute to NJ. However unable to sleep cause it was noise all night. In the morning around 8-‘when I wanted to shower to get ready for work both bathroom in same floor were being clean so they did not allow people to shower in that floor they wanted us to go to 9 th floor.. it’s unacceptable that they wait to clean the bathrooms at a rush hr time when people get ready to leave… also showers dirty when i tried to shower before bed time .. the location is perfect !

    Clean but sparse furnishings, but that's what I wanted. I didn't go to NYC to spend all my time in a hotel room. Easy check in, great cardio room, quiet, clean bathrooms. Close to Lincoln Center, Central Park, Columbus Circle. I will stay here again.

    This was my first stay and I really wanted it to work out. Unfortunately, I left after one night. In the room, someone had busted out one of the air conditioning accordion panels, in winter. I am assuming that someone did it to smoke but it was not caught by housekeeping or just not fixed. Two of the three bathroom stalls did not lock. The only one that did had a toilet paper dispenser so large it hit your legs. The showers have curtains that you can see through. They are not fully transparent but I did not want to shower there. The final straw was seeing a large (like two inch) insect in the bathroom. I am assuming it was a roach but I did not stick around to find out. I am generally not afraid of bugs (have spent a significant amount of time in Costa Rica) but together with everything else, I was out. I never got to the pool but be aware that you have to wear a swim cap. If you don't have one, they sell them for $20. I can say that the staff were nice. Overall, very disappointing.

    Good enough

    I stay here a lot. It’s the Y, not the Ritz, so my expectation is never high. But it’s fine, clean enough. Usually the check-in security people are great. This time, they lost my driver’s license for a bit and the guard mistakenly thought I didn’t belong there and hassled me until he realized he was wrong. It’s New York.

    I will be very short: I paid for a room with a bathroom, and I was given a room with a shared bathroom. My room had trash from previous guests, not only in the trash can but also on the table; when I unfolded the bed, I noticed that they didn't change the bedding. For this price I could've gotten something cleaner.

    Very well located, it's a very strategic home base for someone that wants to be in the heart of NYC but also not in the middle of all the chaos. My only comment would be that I stayed for 6 days and no one attempted to do house cleaning in my room.
