10/10 Exceptional

Nice simple room with bunk bed. Shared bathroom and access to gym and group classes. Doorman in lobby. Nice staff.
Carol, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was small- BUT WHAT a VIEW!!! Location, Location, Location! A block off Central Park, Lincoln center for morning coffee… it’s an old YMCA - but the ambiance is charming/ just don’t forget your shower slippers. Housekeeping staff - amazing! Children’s art projects displayed in the lobby made my stay perfection!
The window may have needed cleaning/ my phone. But my memory is PERFECT!

I stayed here for the gym. I was not disappointed.

4/10 Fair

Bathrooms were disgusting. Has a single room and bed was pretty much just springs. There was an extra $10 fee per day that wasn’t on the fine print, but I had not choice but to sign it
Maya, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rooms were cleans, staff were very helpful and it has a close promixity to everything
Ayotunde Paul, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

The bathrooms were horrible. The doors didn’t lock, and the sinks only had either cold or hot water—none worked properly. The same issues applied to the shower doors and nozzles. The front desk staff was not very friendly. Additionally, the bunk bed was missing screws, and every time someone moved, it felt like the person on the top bunk was going to collapse.

Excellent location, best place to stay in Manhattan if you don’t mind sharing a bathroom

2/10 Poor

This is the worst hotel I’ve stayed in. Uncomfortable bed, dirty bathrooms, tiny space, unfriendly staff. I will never stay here again.

Very good and cheap to just stay for the night, close to central park, and subways!
Erwin, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Had to leave as the room was grubby, and there were cockroaches. Awaiting a refund
Robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The rooms are small but we didn't need much room since we were only there to sleep, change, and shower. So didn't mind sharing bathrooms with others, either. The floors could've been cleaner cuz there was hair on the floors, but other than that I would definitely stay there again if I ever go to new york again. Everything is so close by!! Central Park, Time Square, shopping and a variety of food carts to choose from!! The location is excellent, and so is the price!!
We went to New York for NYFW

10/10 Exceptional

They do a great service by providing budget accommodation in NY. Staff was super helpful and responsive to my requests. Convenient location, safe area. A previous review mentioned the $10 daily fee that should have been added up front. They said they’d notified their partners so maybe an oversight by Expedia. The mini store in the pics is not there but plenty of places within a block to buy things.

2/10 Poor

It was like a scary jail. My floor smelled like butt. The service was okay, the cleaning lady was kind and check in was smooth, check out and luggage storage was rude and weird.

The property is a half block away from Central Park and a few blocks away from the subway. Lots to do in the area and plenty of shopping choices

Jay, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Basic dorm accommodations.

Good location and cool ac in private room. It is basically an old dorm room. I did like having access to the gym facilities. Only 1 towel was provided. No daily cleaning offered.
Rodney, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Poor communication. My flight was delayed until the next day. Despite many attempts to let them know and request to hold the reservation, it took them more than 24 hours to get back to me. I tried phone (many times), Hotel.com messaging and Hotel.com help desk (where they finally replied after > 24 hours). I don't need this kind of stress on top of the missed flight.
