This hotel provided me with exactly what I needed in New York - an inexpensive base for exploring Manhattan without having to compromise on location or cleanliness. Less than 10 minutes walk from Grand Central Station, this hotel puts you at the heart of everything there is to do in Manhattan. My room was plenty big enough for a single... More

stayed here lots of times, my first time at the end of the 90's, and again in the noughties. First impression. Who are all these people who are rushing past me. Then got to the desk, very helpful and patient staff. Rooms are small, and basic. Toilets and showers are few but I hardly ever had to wait. Its a... More

I stayed here for a week with about 40 other students, the rooms are very small but very clean, at first I thought it was going to be horrible, but after a few days it was fine. Bathrooms and shower are very clean. Give it a chance, you get what you pay for. The hotel is very close to many... More

First let’s start with the plus points - it’s a great location and the gym is fabulous and if you happen to be an inmate, sorry, guest then you get complimentary access to this very state of the art gym. Here endeth the plus points. Bottom line is, the YMCA is what it is which is to say, it redefines... More

Know what to expect and you'll be fine. Great location (direct bus from JFK to Grand Central, then 10 min walk), small clean noisy rooms, shared clean (very clean) baths. Semi-helpful staff. It's not a real hotel. Affordable and excellent for a few days. More

The rooms are very... More

Chose this place to stay due to the location and cheap price. The location is good with walking access to the Metro (ard 8 to 10 mins walk), United Nations, Times Square etc, Other than that, the room as highlighted by most is ultra small. I took a single room and all it had was a single bed, a table... More

We came to town just for two nights at the start of our spring break and it was a fine place to crash. The beds were well worn making them a little uncomfortable, and the heater and/or pipes were loud at different times throughout the night. However, the room was clean and if you want to you are able to... More
