Spartan accomodations. Which is what u expect for the lower price. Room very small but clean. Bedding is minimal and window heat/air on unit runs non stop and is brutally noisy. Bathroom was clean and close to room. Location excellent. Gym access excellent (for an extra 10 bucks).

I had an amazing stay at the YMCA West Side in New York City! If you’re planning a small trip or even a solo getaway, this is such a great option. The price was extremely reasonable for NYC, especially considering the location. It felt very secure the entire time, which is so important when traveling alone. What I loved most was how quiet. It is perfect for resting after busy days exploring the city. Clean, simple, and peaceful. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a safe, affordable, and low-stress stay in NYC!

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
