10/10 Exceptional

Great hostel option in NYC. Quiet, clean, and a great location. Bathrooms have a code and a showers have a stall so you do have reasonable privacy/security.

8/10 Very good

Location is excellent and the staff is also amazing and super helpful. The only downside is the shared bathrooms, they urgently need renovation. The doora of the loo do not close. The bathrooms are terrifying.
Maria Guadalupe, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

First thing first, they charge an extra 10 dollar per night when you check in. Then Very tiny and old room. Noisy window A/C unit.

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.

Deceitful surcharge!!!

I have stayed there many times before but this time they insisted on a $10 a night cash surcharge when none was mentioned in the Hotel.com reservation. This is so wrong. I think is very deceitful. I am trying to see if it is against the law.

The vibe of this place is closer to homeless shelter than hotel. The location is great, but it just feels generally sketchy.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

4/10 Fair

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 !

6/10 Good

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.
Peter, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

10/10 Exceptional

This is an amazing place to stay! Wonderful gym facilities and beautiful pool. I loved access to steam room and sauna. Extremely handy for Lincoln Centre and NYPL. And right on Central Park. Also appreciated that the subway station nearby was accessible, so great for luggage moving. Might have been an off evening for someone but check-in was not particularly friendly or welcoming. But I was delighted overall.
