    comfy bunk bed
    perfect location
    old and noisy room

    Perfect location near Central Park and great value for money! The bunk bed was surprisingly comfy, and I managed to avoid any bug encounters. Plus, it's always buzzing with energy—loved that ambiance!

    However, the room was older than my grandma's stories, and let's just say the noise from the laundry room was my unwelcome bedtime buddy. Who needs sleep anyway?

    central park location
    indoor pool

    would definitely come back here

    Great location just minutes from Central Park. The bunk bed room has air conditioning and a shared bathroom with a walk-in shower. Staff were friendly and helpful. The gym and indoor pool are nice bonuses after a day exploring the city. Towels and linens were provided, and I felt safe with key card access.

    great location
    kind staff
    cleaning service
    shared bathroom
    noisy environment

    The location here is unbeatable, with Central Park, Times Square, and some fantastic restaurants all within a short walk. the shared bathrooms could be a bit cleaner, and there were times when it was hard to get a good night's sleep due to noise from the hallway. Despite that, the staff was really accommodating and seemed to be on top of cleaning services around the clock.

    messy bathrooms

    I really loved the comfy beds and friendly atmosphere. The shared bathrooms could be messy at times, but it wasn't hard to manage. If only there were more ice machines available as it was super hot during my stay!

    I enjoyed my stay in a single room near Central Park. The location offered easy access to the city while providing clean facilities. Some shared bathrooms needed better maintenance, but the vibrant atmosphere made my visit enjoyable.

    bathroom maintenance
    outdated decor

    close proximity to Central Park, easy access to subway, vending machine for snacks

    shared bathrooms could use better maintenance, limited shower facilities!!! !!! The overall decor feels outdated, and a fresh coat of paint would really revitalize the space!!!

    The location of the Ymca is pure gold—just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Central Park! It felt like I was living in a postcard. Plus, the access to the gym and pool is a cherry on top, turning my stay into a mini health retreat right in the heart of NYC.

    clean room
    friendly housekeeping

    Recommend it for budget travelers

    You know, I had a basic room, but it was clean and just what I needed after a long day. And the housekeeping? They came through daily, so it felt like there was always a little bit of fresh air around, nothing like coming back to a tidy space.

    It wasn't exactly low-cost, but honestly it worked for the value I got.

    The location was as perfect as finding the last slice of pizza at a party—just steps from Central Park and close to subway lines! The staff were friendly and helpful, practically radiating positive vibes like a yoga instructor after a successful class. And the facilities?
