This was my first stay and I really wanted it to work out. Unfortunately, I left after one night. In the room, someone had busted out one of the air conditioning accordion panels, in winter. I am assuming that someone did it to smoke but it was not caught by housekeeping or just not fixed. Two of the three bathroom stalls did not lock. The only one that did had a toilet paper dispenser so large it hit your legs. The showers have curtains that you can see through. They are not fully transparent but I did not want to shower there. The final straw was seeing a large (like two inch) insect in the bathroom. I am assuming it was a roach but I did not stick around to find out. I am generally not afraid of bugs (have spent a significant amount of time in Costa Rica) but together with everything else, I was out. I never got to the pool but be aware that you have to wear a swim cap. If you don't have one, they sell them for $20. I can say that the staff were nice. Overall, very disappointing.

Bed was very uncomfortable, bad lighting, shower and toilet weren't very clean. Felt like a prison.

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.

I will be very short: I paid for a room with a bathroom, and I was given a room with a shared bathroom. My room had trash from previous guests, not only in the trash can but also on the table; when I unfolded the bed, I noticed that they didn't change the bedding. For this price I could've gotten something cleaner.

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.

The staff did not share any information, like check-out time, etc. You have to ask about it. The rooms are cramped, and the pillows are very thin. However, I did not expect better conditions and chose this hotel because of its lower price.

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.

Dashing thru The Apple 🍎

Quick and easy! The Y is no frills and most importantly “ECONOMICAL” I appreciate there service for the price. Only situation that was a bit annoying was the person at the luggage storage. A little bully and not pleasant at all. The younger lady was lovely and helpful. My only complaint
