Greenpoint YMCA Reviews

The staff is very nice and cool. The air in the hostel was full and really rich of chlorine - which was quite disgusting. The air was also very dry and the carpets quite elecetrified - it was very unpleasant. However the package included morning yoga which was fun and the teacher really nice.

The cleanliness was sometimes very poor. Plus, the room smelt like cold cigarette. Also, having a locker would be a plus besides that, the staff was really nice and the place in a nice area.

I was in room 340, This room has two double beds, a flat screen tv and walk in closet. I upgraded from a smaller room which was on the 2nd floor. The small economy rooms are just that, a bed and a dresser and closet. Just a place to sleep. This is an older building turn of the century, there isn't any elevator. If you want something with an elevator stay at the Flushing Ymca, it's just as good. I will stay at either location next year. The water pressure is great in the shower.

Not a bad place at all. The room was nice, clean and bigger than I expected. There was TV and air conditioning in my room. Staff was helpful. A slight issue was that they tried to charge $20 a night more than my Hostelworld reservation. When I showed the printout they fixed it with some complaining. Location is close to the Nassau metro on the G line. Nice and safe neighborhood with many shops. Compared with other options, great value for money. Right in front police station, so I felt safe.

The bathrooms were a catastrophy-1 of 3 toilets was usable, the same with the showers! The rooms were not clean. There were used earplugs on the window board. The window was so dirty that one couldn't look outside. It was smelly and gross. The guests are not the usual hostel guests-they are more likely alcohol and drug addicts and I didn't feel safe at all.

For a clean and well-priced place to sleep it was a great value. My only complaint was the noisy banging of doors all night as people left their rooms to use the bathrooms down the hall. But again, it was worth it for the price of the stay. Can't beat it in NYC. Clean and maintained but old and limited facilities.

The location is fun, I liked the room ok, the tv was nice to have, but there was a gaping hole in the window where the plastic panel on the a.c. was missing, it had been patched with cardboard and tape but that had fallen off. It is also kind of annoying to have to pay for internet considering the cost of a room is $80, that could be included. Glad I only was staying one night because the room was overpriced for what it was. Also there is apparently no glass recycling here, which is pretty lame.

There is no free internet in the hostel!!

The room was small, and there was hardly enough room for us to take out our luggage. The bathroom didn't have sufficient hooks, and it was quite a surprise for us that the bathroom did not have doors for us to lock our cubicles (both for the men's and ladies). Place could do with some upgrading as the paintwork was old and looks uninviting.

Fun Location with great staff.

For us that just wanted a bed to sleep it was OK. Bathrooms are clean and close to the rooms. The problem was the bed, wery noisy and also there was a rat in the corridor, was indicate that the cleaning is not being doing well.
