All good”
I booked the Single standard room. It was just nice. Near the toilet and showers (both were clean). YMCA itself is central and near to the sky bus stop & sky tower. The staff was also accommodative.

Had a great stay here”
Location-wise, YMCA is very much accessible. There are no air-conditioners though but for someone who lives in the tropics, it is alright since it is still cool at night. (open windows)

Perfect for what I needed”
I arrived earlier than originally planned but they were accommodating to checking me in and settling in for my two day stay. The bed was freshly made and cleaners are in every morning/afternoon cleaning the rooms. I would wear flip flops in the shower, mainly because of hair all over the floor, but I think this is expected in a girls shower room, although a personal preference I believe it should be swept or cleaned more frequently throughout the day. They provide soccer 4-5 ebery Thursday, thus was great to meet people. Staff are very helpful. Kitchens are kind of small and a lack of a tin opener was an inconvenience, but very practical nevertheless

Spacious , nice mattress”
Staff are very helpful, bean bags in a spacious lounge are awesome. Mattress is very comfortable, but the bunk bed just making too noise. Kitchen is pretty small for a backpacker. Omg, the room I stayed had a very bad smell, in 6 bed mixed dorm.

Nice place to stay”
The hostel overall is great! There are many activities and good recreation area. I stayed in a 6 dorm mix room. Most people here respected on their private. No one made any noise in the night.

Not clean, good location, layout not ideal”
The location of the YMCA is it’s biggest redeeming factor, being very close to at Kevin’s arcade and a short walk into town. As long as you are planning to not use the facilities, this hostel is okay. the kitchens and sitting spaces are spread amongst different floors but there is not a good room to facility ratio, if it was busy you would not want to rely on being able to use the kitchen. However the toilets don’t appear to get cleaned often (the sanitary bins were completely full with flies flying around, and even after reporting this to reception it was the same the next day). In summary and cheap and good located stay if you’re willing to compromise on cleanliness and facilities.

Insulation”
the sound insulation is real upset, and the vibration from others always scare me suddenly. And the kitchen is just enough for a small group of residents but not the whole floor……..

Not recommended if traveling with t children or if you just need common courtesy ”
1. You could have next door guests talking loudly pass midnight many days in a row 2. You could be assigned to a room on a different level from the shared bathroom and toilet, and the staff would tell you that room change cannot be made 3. You could have men walking in the hallway topless

So so”
Great location. If you find kitchen facility important, choose other accommodation.

Hand got busted open by the vending machine”
When this happened the staff did nothing to help but said yeah that machine is bad, happens often. Duh get rid of the machine that slams on people’s hands smart people. Also the dorm room is really small and has no space for four people

Some people of the stuff are not helpful”
I was not feeling welcomed at all. I had a problem to get a letter that my mam was sending me from Switzerland. One guy was not helping me at all and he could not explain why the letter will not arrive. In the end my KIWI friend helped me to call the Hostel and then the same guy just hung up the phone. She called again and had to talk to the manager to get the right information. Sorry but this guy should not work at the Rezeption. Not all of the stuff was bad, others where nice and friendly.

The service is terrible”
When checking out, the hotel reception did not explain the way of deposit refund, only said to wait a few days,.When I call the customer service by phone, customer service directly hung up the phone before I solve my problem.So mean and no patience.
