    The room was clean, but had scuffing all over the floor. The bathrooms were clean at night, but not in the morning or at mid day. They were all out of toilet paper until are at least after 12pm. This was almost like a youth hostile.

    Bathroom showers had issues. Not a fancy place at all. However, we were in NYC to explore NYC. Getting a cheaper room let us explore NYC more. Not a place to stay if you want to hang out in your room. Close to central park and a subway station. They have a fresh fruit vendor a block away onnthe xorner. Loved that place!!

    They do a great service by providing budget accommodation in NY. Staff was super helpful and responsive to my requests. Convenient location, safe area. A previous review mentioned the $10 daily fee that should have been added up front. They said they’d notified their partners so maybe an oversight by Expedia. The mini store in the pics is not there but plenty of places within a block to buy things.

    The rooms are small but we didn't need much room since we were only there to sleep, change, and shower. So didn't mind sharing bathrooms with others, either. The floors could've been cleaner cuz there was hair on the floors, but other than that I would definitely stay there again if I ever go to new york again. Everything is so close by!! Central Park, Time Square, shopping and a variety of food carts to choose from!! The location is excellent, and so is the price!!

    The staff were not polite. Gave keys with the wrong room number. Called security to throw a guest out even when the guest was right. Poor etiquette. Worst customer service. They don't care if you're a first-time visitor. They have a subtle charge they call "MEMBERSHIP". It's stated on the site that it was a HOTEL. Only to find out, it's a HOSTEL. If you MUST visit this place, brace yourself! The hallway had a funny odor.

    The only thing that West YMCA needs to address is the shower. Tried to take a shower at night and hot water was not running at all. Other than it was fine.

    A spot for brave souls on the budget

    A spot for brave souls on the budget. The bed was ok, the floor is dirty. 3 showers for the whole floor… the smell in the room was weird, the room size ok. You would want to come there as late as possible and leave as early as you can to enjoy the city or what you are for in NY. There might be better budget options out there…

    Good location and cool ac in private room. It is basically an old dorm room. I did like having access to the gym facilities. Only 1 towel was provided. No daily cleaning offered.
