“Great staff; great mix of guests - nice vibe; loved gym access, Central Park access, Columbus Circle - the whole community. Bed was comfortable....sheets and blanket fresh as well as towels. Everything was clean but the age made fixtures feel run down. But i will stay here again. Loved the vibe of the place.”

Was just gone for a place to stay in NYC. Right next to Central Park and felt safe: lots of rooms in the building and many people about, including other travelers and families. Was like a hostel but with a small private room instead of shared. One set of bathrooms for the floor, so bring some flip flops for bathroom. Would stay here again if the price is good. Didn't get around to using the recreational facilities but they are available to you during the YMCA's standard hours.
