6/10 Good

Good location and cheap. With a nice gym. But the rooms were very noisy because of bad sound proof. And needs renovating.
Kristoffer, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was there for 2 nights. Quick and efficient check-in. Clean room but Tv not in proper function.
J Richard, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The shower was cold. Had to wait it for someone else to turn on their shower to get hot water. Location is amazing. Bring your own pillow case.
Mauricio, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The location is excellent for visiting NYC. The room was ok and was clean but not very roomy. It was good enough to sleep but not to linger for long, so if you tour all day its fine but not to stay for 1/2 day. I would recommend for a young single person not a family.
Benjamin, 2-night trip

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.

It was good. Would stay there again. Also the staff were friendly when I had an issue and resolved.
Gregory, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

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.

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.
David, 7-night trip

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.

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

Shops are close as well as iconic tourist attractions within a nice morning walking distance!

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.
