West Side YMCA

Overnatningssteder med god beliggenhed er enkle, men får dig igennem et ophold. Den anden gæst kunne gøre det bedre ved ikke at lade deres døre smække hele natten.

Mange mange mennesker i Én etage for at bruge et badeværelse kun med tre toiletter, men et blokeret, tre brusere, et er blokeret, et andet ikke varmt vand, kun én bruser er tilgængelig til brug...

Så så sted at bo... men hvis du leder efter et billigt overnatningssted, er dette stedet at være

Bit dirty but it was cheap and cheerful. But for the location its great

Not bad for solo travelling for a day in the heart of NY

I was a bit daunted by reviews when booking but was pleasantly surprised. Firstly, you get what you pay for (and a bit more). It’s a hostel with private rooms, not a hotel. Once you realize that, you manage your expectations. It is in a prime location next to Central Park and a short walk to Times Square. It is near a metro station and there are lots of stores and restaurants nearby. The room was adequate (I booked a single room). It was clean and comfortable. Inside the room was a small tv, a small refrigerator, a desk a twin bed and a small closet area. I wasn’t too concerned about the room because I didn’t intend to spend much time in there but it was comfortable enough for my stay. The bathrooms are shared but are privately used so you don’t actually share it with anyone while using. It was always clean and regularly checked (but of course as they are shared some people clear up after themselves better than others). There were several so I never needed to wait more than a few mins. The shower pressure was fine and the water temperature was perfect for me. Even though you pay for gym and facility use when you stay, I never used them so can’t comment on them. The checkin and check out processes were easy. The staff were all friend and helpful. The building felt safe and I never felt worried about anything. I don’t really have any negatives to comment on. There was a little noise at time from other residents but that’s beyond the control of the staff etc.
