West Side YMCA Reviews

YMCA is dirty and soooooo sad ! I would not come again !!

Making me go to the bathroom on the next floor in the middle of the night leaves a lot to be desired. You should have fixed the bathroom facillities during the week, so on a weekend, they should have been fixed! Do your repairs & maintenance accurately & quickly, so as not to inconveience your weekend business like me. Otherwise it was OK...BW

Resonable value for your money. It is really central.

bathrooms were not very clean

It's near everything and for a short stay is great. The only thing there was a whole in my windo but nothing yo seriously. I will stay again!!!!!

Although very basic it had everything we needed within walking distance to a lot of places. However, it would be good if internet could be accessed in more places, in rooms would be best, but we were on the 10th floor so it was a long way to pop down to check something. Also a couple more showers would be good, I only had to wait once but I was there out of season, I can't imagine what it is like in the summer.

What I did not like was the fact that I was given a room on a floor that was being refurbished and I had to go to other floors to use the bathroom.

Staff are hopeless! But we did get a twin room in the middle of manhattan for under $50 a night which we found very hard to find Rooms feel like prision.

Its a YMCA Hostel - expect that - rough and ready - we had a great time there. Will be excellent when the neiw bedroom fitouts are done and the bathrooms madeover. Great Gym and Pool. Will visit again definatly if in NY.

Very dirty rooms (I tried 2 different). Bad beds, with bum mattress and torn blankets. No heating in the rooms, humid walls with old and spoiled paint. Broken toilets and malodorous. The worst hostel for a high price. I intended to stay for eight days, but stayed only for one night. I have booked many hostels in various countries on several continents and this is certainly the worst. It should not be on the hostelword site. It is difficult to get accommodation in NY, but this hostel is a trap.

I had to cancel this trip.

The curtains in the ladys shower should be more bigger for more privacy.

Bathroom and toillette is not work well.They usedto have washing machine. And have decent caffeteria which serve breakfast. Now they don't have. Like me a budget travelleris dificult to stay.

The common bathroom doors close with a bang even if you try to close them softly. This banging at all hours is a real nuisance.

Excellent location! Next to Central Park and Columbus Circle, in walking distance to Times Square. Bathrooms were clean and also the rooms. They have wifi but only in the lobby :(

The bathrooms on the 8th floor where I stayed were not very clean.

You really don't want to spend time at this hostel, only sleep and go. Corridors in plain yellow and bathrooms equal to the dirty ones in a sports arena. Staff in reception didn't give us a single welcome but seemed bored. Overall the information about rules and facility was poor.

I was put in a room on a floor that was being renovated, and had a bed bug infestation (both myself and my immediate neighbor were moved), and then subsequently placed in a room which was on a floor that wasn't being renovated! It felt like you were placed in a bad room then if you complained you were put somewhere better.

Generally very good - lovely staff and felt secure; the 'atmosphere' rated as average only because of the room itself which was sufficient but the rest of the hostel had a good, friendly atmosphere. We had a tv in our room that didn't work - we weren't there to watch tv and didn't have time to, but it was quite a big piece of redundant furniture invading the already small space within the room. We also had a problem with the light which was on a sensor and kept turning itself on.

I wouldn't stayt for more than 2 nights here, the restrooms could have use some cleaning but location is great.
