хороший хостел”

Нормальный хостел, вполне можно порекомендовать. Заселили быстро, без проблем. WiFi на первом этаже работает хорошо, правда сидячих мест мало, в основном все располагаются на полу. Но там ковровое покрытие, так что можно пережить. На каждом этаже питьевой фонтанчик и компьютер с принтером (это за дополнительную плату). В душевых и туалете вполне чисто, в комнате вообще отлично. Единственный минус: у нас не было лестницы, на верхнюю кровать приходилось залезать, придвинув стул и тумбочку. Вид из окна заурядный, ничего особенного. Жили на женской половине, девушки не буянили, спать было вполне комфортно. Неподалеку есть кафе, в котором можно бюджетно позавтракать, при заезде дают флаеры.

Очень хороший вариант”

Приемлемая цена; Номер небольшой, в нем все только необходимое, вешалки надо брать свои, фены находятся внизу в раздевалке; Удобная кровать; Номер убирают каждый день, душевые и туалеты тоже; За неделю ни разу не встретила очередь в душевые и туалеты; Питьевой фонтанчик на этаже; Wifi работает в номере хорошо; Отличное расположение: недалеко Здание ООН, до центрального парка идти минут 15, до центрального вокзала тоже; В двух минутах ходьбы есть круглосуточная аптека, в которой можно купить также и продукты и хоз товары; В 10-15 минутах ходьбы станция метро и остановка автобуса до аэропорта.

Бюджетный отель, простой но есть всё что нужно”

Номера в этом хостеле достаточно маленькие, железные кровати. Бельё чистое. Плюсы отеля в том, что пешком можно дойти до Grand Central'a минут за 10, в 5 минутах здание ООН. В общем учитывая его стоимость нормальный вариант.

Бюджетное место для ночи на Манхеттане”

Очень хорошо”

This hostel is big, crowded and maybe a fire hazard when every room on every floor is occupied. But I am thankful that it was allowed to remain with its glory,, original intention and integrity intact. Thank you.

Великолепно”

It’s always pleasure to stay at YMCA. Very neat and clean place . Only problem is the shared bathrooms . But bathrooms are neat and well kept, so it doesn’t really matter.

Great location. Clean. Excellent Value!”

I stayed there for two nights. I like to use the gym and swimming pool in the morning. The room is clean and quiet. Other travelers are very friendly. I will definitely use it again.

Much better than expected!”

I was really sceptical of staying here after reading so many bad reviews but I thought this place was great. We only used it for sleeping & I found it quieter than the other 2 hostels in San Fran & Boston that I had just stayed at. The location is great - about 1.3km from Times Square. There’s food everywhere around the block. The rooms are the only let down - super tiny & bunk bed has no space between the lower & top bunk - had to roll in! Ha ha. You get private shared bathrooms which is great too. I would definitely stay here again if we came back to NY.

good for solo traveller”

location is good, security or front desk staff was not that friendly, there was barely any wifi signal in my room on the 6th floor which was very painful. soft bed and long walk to the restroom if ur room is at the corner. if two persons travelling together, you could have much more and better options instead of staying in this really basic hostel

Simple but beautiful”

If you are alone and on business in Downtown Manhattan and looking for a simple place to stay, the Vanderbilt YMCA Hostel is one of the more centrally located accommodations you can find. The use of their fully equipped gym and swimming pool comes in free with your booking. The rooms are simple but the price for each stay is incomparable with other similar places in New York.

Best Value in whole of NYC”

Right smack in the action of NYC. Walking distance or rent a bike to anywer! Very clean! But my aircon was kinda hot in summer. the membership fee is a bummer.. charged whether u use it or not! a lot of ppl traffic due their daily activities and crowd bookings. But you can never get this price at this location. I got a single room for my one night solo in NYC.

Dissappointed, not as advertised”

The only pros for our stay was the fact that we had accommodation. Otherwise, Vanderbilt was below average for a hostel, with showers not working, hidden costs and terrible customer service. Upon booking through Agoda, there was no mention of an extra 40$ fee upon arrival and the booking confirmation said we would get a transfer from the airport and could check in at 9am as we had an early flight in (had been travelling for 36hrs and were told by Agoda, the room would be ready). Turns out we had to get a taxi as the transport did not arrive. We also had to wait until 3pm to check in, the staff were rude and took no responsibility, saying I was Agoda's fault. I will not be recommending either Vanderbilt or Agoda to anyone

Seriously unfortunate costs”

This used to be a totally awesome place to come, but now, not really. Because for what it costs, you might as well stay at a fancy place and have your own bathroom. And now they charge $10 a night EXTRA, FOR ALL KINDS OF FACILITIES THAT I DIDN’T EVEN USE. They should return your money if you didn’t use it or ask you if you plan to use it, and not charge you if you aren’t going to .

Location location location”

I have nothing to complain about. It's located just about 10 minute walk to the subway. The room and shared bathrooms are really clean. Love the gym. For some people, the room might be small but it's perfect for me. I will definitely stay there again when I'm in NYC.

Super convenient & safe location”

Great! They offer self laundry service under USD5. Internet at minimum of USD2 including printing documents for 2 mins. Convenient location with very reasonable price which is perfect for seeing the city. I will definitely recommend this hostal to any budget solo traveller.

Convenient, efficient, great location!”

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend YMCA Vanderbilt to any of my budget-conscious friends who want to experience NYC without breaking the bank. I arrived at around 7 am & was unable to check in immediately, but the hotel let me store my bags free. They even let me have a quick shower & change of clothes, which felt like heaven. My room was small but comfortable, with a TV, fridge, a/c, heater, desk, and sufficient space for storage. I was booked very near the restroom & never had to wait to get a shower stall. The hotel's on E 47th St, walking distance from iconic NY locations such as 5th Ave, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, the Waldorf, & Grand Central Terminal. Subways are on 53rd & Lex or Grand Central. If I didn't feel like walking, I used my unlimited weekly MetroCard to take the bus, which conveniently stopped every few blocks but took a bit longer. For the price, the hotel was perfectly located & I felt very safe because of their round-the-clock security. My only regret was not being able to try the facilities, but I'm not really sure if guests can use them. Still, the YMCA brand gave me a lot of confidence in booking the hotel.

Great Location but small rooms”

I am very happy to choose YMCA as my hotel. By the way, this was my first time to US and impressed with the hotel location and overall. I am sure to recommend this YMCA hotel to all my friends who plan to travel to NYC

Value for money”

Perfect location. Access to the gym.

Clean, close to Rockfeller Center small rooms with a tv and shared bathrooms ”

Pros great price in the heart of the city Cons shared bathroom but that doesn’t bother us when there are more than one shower, toilet and sinks so multiple people can be in there at once. ( reminds me of a college dorm)

great location”

well as new york as got more expensive for the single traveller, this is a great option, but the price does goe up and down, location is the greatest assett 47th ten mins from grand central station and 15 from times square and just around the corner from the United Nations with plenty of food outlets 24 hour drug stores and local bars its always felt safe and well lit up. from newark airport get the newark express stops on 41st then walk down. from jfk most companys will drop you off near vanderbilt, one way streets in operation 24 hour operation security and some one on the desk till midnight let them know your arrival time rooms are small but comfortablebut they have got rid of the coat hooksand you do have a tv in your room and fridge heating in winter is very hot showers are on each floor there are some private shower rooms toilets are in washroom could be next improvement they also have 2 floors of semi private ropoms and washrooms you pay more with kitchen area and lounge d
