Excellent property located in a very convenient spot in NYC, walking distance from so many hotspots and subway stations. Rooms are average but excellent for the cost! Having single person restrooms that you card key into is really nice compared to other hostels. Highly recommend

A SAFE amenity for a single female solo traveler. Loved the security at the late night hours. Amenities were good enough. Women’s bathroom was sometimes clogged toilets but a hot shower and safe place to do business was all I needed. Thank you for letting me check in early for a fee so I could rest. It meant the world to me.

The highlights of staying here are definitely the convenient location, price, and use of facilities like the pool and gym. However, the bathroom facilities were filthy, showers on my floor didn’t have warm water. I don’t mind shared bathrooms but the quality here was terrible. The bed, pillow, bedding were uncomfortable. The AC barely produced cool air. The room had a tv, but no remote to use it. There is no refrigerator.

The room was clean and met my expextations for my needs. I inteacted with 3 staff members and only one of the 3 was pleasant and helpful. I arrived on a Saturday morning and checked out on Monday and the bathrooms were not cleaned during my entire stay. Overall, I would stay again due to the price and location but I will definitely bring my own bathroom cleaning supplies.

The room was small- BUT WHAT a VIEW!!! Location, Location, Location! A block off Central Park, Lincoln center for morning coffee… it’s an old YMCA - but the ambiance is charming/ just don’t forget your shower slippers. Housekeeping staff - amazing! Children’s art projects displayed in the lobby made my stay perfection!
The window may have needed cleaning/ my phone. But my memory is PERFECT!

Probably the best location and best price for a budget traveller. I felt like I was able to experience New York to its fullest potential, and was able to actually afford it! Modest room and amenities, but so accessible and close to everything (Central Park is literally outside your door). Friendly staff, clean room/bathroom, a diverse mix of guests. Would stay again.
