Great for short stays
Lovely staff from check-in to security to passing cleaners in the hall. All so lovely. Room and shared bathrooms where clean and I had no issues being disrupted by other guests. I did have the issue of VERY loud banging pipes which I was aware of thanks to other reviews so was prepared for but couldnt have handled more than the single night I stayed. I would stay here again as single nights but not longer as its hard to get quality sleep.

A great property. Security is excellent, gym facilities extremely useful for someone who needs to maintain their gym schedule. Beds are a bit stiff for my taste, but beside that, a great hotel with a bit of a hostel feel

All as expected for a stay at the Y. Only issue -ongoing- is the noises made by the heat radiators, especially on level 6. Expect to be disturbed/awoken from the clanging when they heat up!

This is a great location and check in was very quick. The room was extremely small but i expected that, no big deal. My room was in the hallway with the bathrooms and acccess the stairs. The doors to the bathrooms and stairs slammed shut and this went on all through the night. The radiator made crazy loud noises randomly thorough the night as well. The bed was so uncomfortable that I'd wake up in pain every morning. I was in nyc for training and wanted to save my company money which is why i chose this hotel. By the end of the week i was exhausted from lack of restful sleep.

Hotel with great gym and pool .
Stayed there for 3 nights . Check in was quick . Room was small but comfortable and clean. Shared bath room on the floor was adequate and clean . The gym and pool are something for everything and the sauna should not be missed . The location is a little out of way which is a little quiet at night but still looks safe .

I could get bath towels everyday. The location is really nice. Staffs are fine and they have systems to keep bags but it costs two dollars.

My experience was unfortunately disappointing overall. And I wouldn’t be fair to date this place as a rest place for guests coming from a far or even in general. But I guess if you like rude customer service and little to no space in your room. I would say I rather say nothing than say anything at all. Wouldn’t recommend this place . There’s better places to stay in NYC. Just do your research guys :-) Enjoy .

Returning to YMCA NY after 30 years.
I love being able to use the fantastic fitness facilities while there. The bathrooms were very nice and the location is great. Left luggage was very handy. Concierge was good - all staff were helpful.
