    Not the best soundproofing, you will hear your neighbours and people in the hallway. Only two power plugs available in a weird spot under the table, far from the beds.

    Perfect central location, we had a glorious view of Central Park. The staff was very helpful and helped us with an early check in. Bathrooms cleaned often and as clean as they can be for shared use. Bedroom had all the amenities we needed.

    Loved the location of this place. Close to downtown Manhattan. Clean rooms and bathrooms. In the mornings there is a bit of a line to use the bathrooms but its fine during the day

    You get what you expect for this price point. The beds are single cots, but comfortable. The heating is central so you can’t adjust the room temperature, but the rooms come with an AC unit. The cleaning staff clean the communal bathrooms, but cleanliness comes down to the respectability of your fellow travelers…

    Location, location, location! The Y is a short walk to Columbia Sq subway station for express trains downtown and into Brooklyn, and across the street from Central Park. Highly walkable location

    location is perfect just 6 minutes walk from the nearest metro stop, walking distance to Times Square, and Central Park is just in front of it.

    The size of the room did not bother me, but the floor had not been mopped in a while. It was actually sticky. And, in the five days I was there, I don't think the showers ever warmed up.

    Location and value.

    Most vending machines were out of service. Facilities closed very early. It would be nice to take in a nice sauna or hit the gym after a day of site seeing or a long day of meetings but they close at 4pm. I stayed on the 11th floor and in the men's washroom one of three toilets had a broken toilet seat off of the toilet the whole stay leaving only 2 toilets for all the men on that floor. Also didn't like that every morning I was woken up by housekeeping walking throughout the hallways knocking on every door that was going to be checking out that day...@ 9-930am. We all don't have to be woken up to be reminded of everyone's check out time. I don't understand why we were not allowed visitors in the facility at all. No in the meeting area, not in our rooms, nor were we able to bring them in the pool/sauna area. I had a friend who wanted to sit and visit with me and he was made to purchase a room at full price for the full nightly rental and all that was available was a double bunk room. A day pass should be offered for circumstances such as that.

    Location was perfect for what I needed nestled right in between Central Park & The Lincoln Center. Having luggage storage available for both before and after check in/check out was super convenient and very cheap.
