Staying at the YMCA worked well for me with my adult son. We just needed a clean, comfortable place to crash for one night and the YMCA delivered at a great price for New York City. I would book there again if I were to spend a night in the city.

It's basically a dorm room. I don't spend time in the room except to sleep. The bed was nice and the bathroom was similar to a good state park bathroom. Just perfect. Can't beat the location or price

The staff was hospitable and the location is great. But, the men's bathrooms, at least in the floor we were in, had no hot water and maintenance/cleanliness issues, particularly at night. The bunk bed was noisy and the mattresses were not very good.

the room was perfect for the night and maybe a few i probably wouldn’t recommend for multiple people for over a week just cause the rooms were very small, a lot of the bathrooms were crossed and not flushed or cleaned properly so i do wish those were cleaned a little more often/ even checked, but the location was perfect walking distance to just about everything and i would stay here again!

The rooms are basic, but there is a great pool on the 3rd floor to swum (bring a swimming gap, goggles and a speedo style swimsuit) from 7am to 8pm (in the summer), and a big gym on the 4th floor, so the budget get you very far in terms of facilities. If it was the rooms only, I’d probably not stay here, but with the facilities and location it is worth the stay.

Great location, safe, clean, helpful staff. We didn't use the gym, but took a peek, and that looked very nice, as were the locker rooms. Our room was fine--clean, fresh bed linens and towels, but we did see a huge roach scurry into another guest room. Bathroom was the biggest issue: clean, but there was a constant puddle of water on the floor between the showers and sinks where the floor wasn't draining properly. Even with shoes on--and I would absolutely not step foot in there without shoes on--it felt pretty gross. Would have also been nice to have more hooks available or somewhere to put your stuff while you shower. That said, the price was amazing, and I would probably stay there again.

Only positive is the location, which is amazing. However, the room was awful. There were cockroaches and bedbugs. The bathrooms were filthy. There was no hot water. The bathroom on my floor was out of commission for most of one day.

You can't beat the location and price. If you don't need a fancy place and are OK with shared bathrooms, I think this is a perfect spot. The gym is also a great bonus. Visiting NYC, I'm not there for the hotel. It's just to sleep and shower and I think this is a great option. Central Park West also is an ideal location. Next to transit, Columbus Circle and Lincoln Center. 2-3 stops from most of the shows too. I'm likely to stay here every time I visit solo.
