Manage your expectations”
This is a hostel, not a hotel. Compared to a hotel, this sucks. But as a hostel - this is the best one I've ever been. Everything is within walking distance. Or a subway ride away, with the magnificent Grand Terminal so close to it. Each floor have DIFFERENT facilities. I strongly suggest you take your time to explore each floor. For example ; the shower room in my floor (9) is open / only covered by a curtain from the public, but I found closed shower rooms on 6th floor. Also manage your time carefully. Example: I shower every day around 6 am. I was usually the only one. No queue at all. My only complain is that the laundry room is only open from 7 am until 9 pm. I usually returned way past 9 pm, and by 7 am is already busy for going to work soon. I have no idea why the opening time limit, other places usually have 24/7 laundry facility. But otherwise everything is excellent. The staffs are friendly and genuinely tried to be helpful. Much appreciated.

Clean and convenience. Definitely will use again and again”
It's about 7 minutes walk from the Grand Central station. There is a complete gym downstairs. Staffs and members are very friendly. The neighborhood is very safe. There is a mini store right across the street to buy coffee and bagel. The room is tiny but enough for sleep and change and do things on the laptop. Bathroom is shared but clean and not crowded.

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.

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.

Just nice for a solo traveler”
The room Single Deluxe is just nice for a single traveler that wants his/her private space. The room allows you to use the semi-private bathroom (shared but private bathroom). Walking distance to some Subway stations (about 7 minutes walk). The room comes with a fridge!

Exceptional”
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 place”
This is by far the best YMCA because it has a kitchen which makes it convenient to cook meals but am not a fan of the $10 per night facility fee

Very good as always. ”
I like Vanderbilt YMCA because of the location and gym amenities. I don’t like the bed bugs. They need to disinfect their beds.

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.

Great for the price but they charge you an extra $10 no matter what”
Great for the price but they charge you an extra $10 that you don't now about until you have already made the booking and can't cancel.

Excellent”
The room and bathroom are clean. There's a water fountain and kitchen on the floor that I stayed. The room is not sound-proof so you can always hear other people closing their doors or talking in the corridor.

Accessible and Affordable ”
I had a great time staying in Vanderbilt YMCA Hotel. Very accessible to drugstore, restaurants and some of the tourist destinations of NYC. The hotel will provide you the basic necessities and yet you will feel comfortable. The best thing about this hotel is the access that you have to the facilities like gym, sauna and pool. Will definitely go back here.

Most practical place in New York City”
Everything at YMCA is good except that their heater is so noisy. I definitely would choose to stay here again but only during summer.

Very good”
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.

Good for solo traveller”
NYC is renown for expensive hotel rooms - the YMCA is a no fuss hostel located in a good part of NYC. If looking for a decent room on a budget, the YMCA has it.

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 .
