great value and location

2nd time have stayed here and will be back again next year. the location is perfect, right next to central park, and walking distance to bway, time sq and lots of places to visit. and handy for subway to bottom end of NY. the staff are friendly and helpful, and the access to the pool, gym etc is a def bonus. room is basic but as all you will do is sleep there its all you need.

Typical hostel acommodation

I basically needed a bed for the night, and this was reasonable value. Good location, friendly staff, comfortable and reasonably quiet room. As typical for a hostel it was a shared shower room and toilet block. In essence, it was a bed for the night. I'm going to tick the "No, I would not recommend" box because it's not a hotel, although I would stay there again if, as before, I just needed somewhere to sleep.

surprisingly not bad

First time staying in a hostel and id stay in one again. Perfect location. Room and bathrooms were clean. Rooms had tv, desk, shelves, towels, soaps, ac and beds. My room card stopped working after a few days and they switched it out immediately. No complaints

A Bargain

The hotel is a bargain, being exactly what it is -- a European-style, simple but adequate hotel across the street from Lincoln Center. If you are interested in attending opera, ballet or symphony, there is no better bargain in the city. Three bus lines and the subway are also across the street and make it central to other places you may want to visit. I have recommended it to friends being careful to note what 'European-style' means.

Good for budget

What you would expect. Great if on a budget. Not very clean, and not fancy, but if you are only going to be there to sleep it's a good bargain.

NYC-YMCA

Staff was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the gym, the pool and the restaurant. The room was clean and quiet. The neighborhood was safe. I walked to a performance of Handel's Messiah at the Lincoln Center and to the Big Apple Circus and to wonderful restaurants. The subway was a five minute walk and Central Park was a two minute walk. Find me a better experience for the price!

The Met, NYC Ballet & Philharmonic are down the block. A one hour dry cleaner is across the street, and for someone on a business trip, the gym and pool is an elevator's ride from your room. The overall experience was stress relieving.

Use the Subway, Its easy to use there are almost always people there to help you and its less that $5 for a round trip.

Good location, minimal comfort

Pros - Decent place for breakfast/lunch in the lobby. Great location across from Central Park. Safe to walk around at night. Price was fair. Private room. Cons - Shared bathroom was ok, but several of the guys would shower with the curtain wide open so you would walk in the bathroom and see fully nude young men. One morning one sink was full of nasty vomit. Sheets had bloodstains.

Love the Y!

I always enjoy my stay at the Y. A convenient location for a great price. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The gym and shower room facilities are great. I highly recommend the West Side YMCA.

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

The Food Court at Whole Foods in the basement of the Time Warner Building has great food. Not cheap but very tasty. For cheap food head down 9th Ave to the 50's. Lots of reasonable choices.
