West Side YMCA

WESTSIDE YMCA This place is not a place where all is Welcome the staff is hateful the place infested with mold and water bugs and bed bugs it's a unhealthy place to stay there's other places better then here.

The rooms are not all that clean and the AC units in the rooms can sometimes not work all that well, but the price is right and the location is great. Also, no bedbugs and the bathrooms are maintained very well. Usually, the people who work at the Y are nice and helpful, so that's also a plus. So, if one isn't too prissy, the Y is a bargain for Manhattan.

This place is very cheap but it's basically like a hostel. The rooms are very bare bones but there was no bed bugs and it was clean! The staff was as helpful as they could be but I found them less than enthusiastic. Which is okay I guess but you're living work in one of the greatest cities on the planet I would think you might realize that and pump up your enthusiasm. If I worked in New York City I sure would. I will probably stay here again with my whole family in one of the rooms with two bunk beds. It's a good enough value especially given the high price of hotel rooms currently in New York City.

During check in we have to wait for almost 5 mins cause the guy couldn't hear us calling him because he's wearing headphones. Our bed is so itchy there might be a bed bugs on it. No remote for tv and the Bed is very noisy

Bugs. Not bedbugs, just bugs. Otherwise pretty good for what I needed.

BE WARNED OF THIS PLACE! They placed me in a room right under building generators that loudly buzzed 24/7. Hell to say the least. No rest.YMCA still charged me $464 for 5 days stay of no quiet days or nights under those noisy generators. If youre room number is on a wing of the building ends in 62 - 51, good luck. The shower doors had no opacity or shower curtains for privacy. I woke up with bug bites from the beddings. The staff needs training in hospitality & customer service. The hallways smell of cigarette smoke. I constantly take trips to NYC. Im also an avid Hosteler. I would not recommend this place. This is like a roach motel in the middle of the ritzy part of the West Central Park area.

I dont know where to start. The room was a disaster!!!! It felt like they didn’t cleaned it for weeks. The “blanket” were dirty and the beds was in so bad conditions that it would have been more profitable to take the mattress and sleep on the floor. The humidity in the room was like 100% and the air conditioner didn’t work. The shared restrooms was soooo disgusting. I didn’t wanted to open the bag due the risk of having bed bugs. After talking to the staff, they admitted that they don’t put the standard rooms picture on the internet. I was chocked when I heard that. I left the hostel after one night, even though I paid for 5 nights. And upgraded to a much better hotel. This wasn’t worth the 550 dollars I paid for the room. So after having the worst experience ever in a hotel (traveled A LOT), I strongly recommend you to chose another hostel/hotel.
