West Side Ymca - Shared Bathroom

“A nice stay in the USA”

This place was a wonderful location. My room was comfortable and clean. The bathrooms were sometimes a wait but not for too long and they were maintained. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

This place was a wonderful location. My room was comfortable and clean. The bathrooms were sometimes a wait but not for too long and they were maintained. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I appreciate how busy they must be and yet still took the time. There are no kitchen or laundry facilities. There is a fridge in the room and a water fountain on the 4th floor.

“YMCA West”

Nice location at Central Park! Hotel is like a prison and very basic but it is OK. Very small rooms. Bathrooms and showers are shared and shower curtains or glass are transparent so don't be too shy... Staff is very nice at reception (but they never reply on phone or by email), don't expect a hig… more

Nice location at Central Park! Hotel is like a prison and very basic but it is OK. Very small rooms. Bathrooms and showers are shared and shower curtains or glass are transparent so don't be too shy... Staff is very nice at reception (but they never reply on phone or by email), don't expect a high level of service. There is a swimming pool, full gym, sauna and steam room. Not very fancy, but great facilities. Most NYC hotels don't have these facilities. I'll be back next time!

“Good hotel for Macedonia, but not US”

Not bad for the price I would not ask for a room that’s no worries. he gets something that’s quiet. I would bring earplugs for sure due to the air conditioner always and I think if you’re comfortable bringing bugs spray and spraying it underneath the mattress underneath the bed and behind all the furniture, you’ll be OK I’ll like to travel with some cleaning solutions so I disinfected the bathroom after arriving, which was necessary, particularly the toilet area was obviously not been clean and the previous people evidently had had diarrhea. excuse my poor English I am trying to learn better your language. This will be an average hotel in Macedonia.

“It’s a hostel. Not a hotel.”

After reading the awful reviews, I was worried what I would arrive to. Perhaps some of the rooms need redecorating but the bathroom on my floor was clean. I felt safe. I didn’t think it was noisy generally given how many rooms there are but I also sleep with ear plugs. I had a single room. It ha… more

After reading the awful reviews, I was worried what I would arrive to. Perhaps some of the rooms need redecorating but the bathroom on my floor was clean. I felt safe. I didn’t think it was noisy generally given how many rooms there are but I also sleep with ear plugs. I had a single room. It had more than I expected - a safe, a tv, desk and chair. (I clearly didn’t pay much attention when I booked it). Yes, there were some things that weren’t to my taste (flat as a pancake pillow and tiny towel). Check in was a little slow, but the location was fantastic and it suited my needs perfectly. I think some people are confused as to what a hostel is. I overheard someone moaning about people being ‘half naked wandering to the bathrooms’ (they weren’t) and about their ‘sheets not having been changed more during their stay’. I would stay again.
