In general it was awesome the staff is very nice, but the building is very run down so it is what it is. You can't go wrong with the location.
Great place to be for those who in need of place to sleep affordably. Sure it is not for everyone but certainly there will be people who will greatly appreciate a place like this. YMCA is doing great service to our community. Thank you YMCA.
It was ok for the price, very good staff and location

The staff here was extremely welcoming. Definitely satisfied with my stay. The parking was $10, spent the difference on food and shopping- very quiet dorm-like floor.

Parking was easy and convenient. The Central YMCA is across from Ala Moana shopping center which has everything you could possibly need. It is also huge and confusing. The Y was a blessing. Accommodations in the area are exorbitant so finding a reasonable place was a relief. It’s an old building so it’s a bit dingy but a private room, a place to sleep… that’s all I needed.
I have stayed at, and continue to stay at this property because of its no frills rooms, great location, and privacy. Accommodation in Honolulu is extremely expensive, and this property is affordable for all travelers. Anytime I’m traveling through Honolulu on the way to my destination, I choose this property.
Not a standard business trip stay but fits the bil
Not a standard business trip stay, but Honolulu was overbooked and YMCA fit the bill. Location is amazing. Facilities very simple but adequate, and staying there felt like contributing to a community, rather than a random hotel company.
the one women who works there is very nice and she gave people tours of the building and was so friendly. Would definitely stay there again can’t wait to see the remodel

I have stayed at this property before, and while it definitely could use some new paint (I say this in a kind way because the place is great for short stays), this time when I returned they were refurbishing certain parts of the building and it’s looking nicer and nicer. It’s not a 5 star resort, so if you don’t go in expecting luxury you’ll be pleasantly surprised. The people who work there are great and I’d absolutely stay there again!
