This hotel is the best. It is very peaceful plus staff is openly helpful and very sportive. My stay has been truly peaceful and have been recuperating from my physical issues resting comfortably with staff constant checkups. Thank you staff for having patient and understanding.

Location is outstanding, upper staff is great. The staff at the desks are not to warm. As for reaching Expedia to discuss a charge Im still trying to talk with someone. Its been a week

Great welcome but a little noisy at night especially when there are groups of teenagers

Great for exercising swimming weightlifting they have a sauna or steam room hes very clean friendly staff ready to give you a assistance

The information on this website is misleading. No toiletries, fridge available upon request, no towels. Found 2 small roaches in the room. Central heating is noisy as hell, and gets way too warm, aircon didnt work. I could smell weed on the hallway. Reception personal was unfriendly. The only positive I can think of is the cleaning staff. Other than that, an airbnb would be a better choice.

Watch out for the YMCA. Its costly, and they have terrible cancellation policies. For example, I received an automatic renewal notice that said Id have to submit my cancellation request in writing 15 days before the draw date. The letter was dated only 9 days before the draw date. Great news, though--I can continue to work out for 40 more days because I cant really cancel until the following month. That would be great if the childcare was any good at all, but its just not. Half the time I show up when it opens and its already filled to capacity.

I was vacationing and seen they had decent priced rooms close to a area i could easy to n from while i was here. When i went to check in which was very late due to my flight i was told i couldn’t be checked in and i wouldn’t be able to stay on the property. They were very rude about it even before they realize i was getting i room i asked for a bathroom n i was told they were closed .. but yeah i am not from here so being out by myself as a woman tourist in the middle of NEW YORK AT 1 in the morning isn’t the brightest idea. So yeah wouldn’t recommend for tourist.

I GO TO WORK OUT ONLY... I LOVE the YMCA and its worth what I pay for my daughter and I to be members. My only complaint is there arent any stretch classes offered in the evening or on wknds. All other classes offered have day and evening times.

Positive: Very bad experience. Never will stay there. Negative: Very poorly managed

Positive: Nothing

Adequately equipped as far as machines and free weights. Some of the machines are very close together because of the limited space but you can still get a solid workout in. I dont believe this facility has an indoor track. The staff is pleasant and helpful.

This looked like a prison cell in person. The bedding was a thin sheet, the entire building smelled like cigarettes, and there was a common shower with a door that didn’t close entirely. I checked out immediately. Would not recommend.

The room was ok. nothing like the photos. and i saw insects everywhere.

The property is very well located. I had a view to Downtown Manhattan

Had a terrible experience. Room was freezing (no temperature control), no wifi in room, wifi in coridors totally insecure, shower rooms three floors up(not on same floor), no hot water in shower room, cockroach in room, and totally rude staff.. just horrible experience. I had interview next day.. and I didnt let this affect me. Just somehow dealt with this nightmare. Never again!

Didn’t like that you had to ask for towels instead of providing them automatically. Also had some problems with the TV, but no biggie since I didn’t spend much time in the room anyways. Other than that, it’s really not bad at all.

I booked and paid our 2 night stay weeks in advance and when we arrived we were told we did not have a room. After 20 minutes of explaining we had paid, the front desk was able to give us a 1 room with a twin bed for two people when we had actually paid for a bunk bed. This experience was disappointing.

Reception staff very good. Cleaning done in am and pm. Could see waste of water and electricity

Always a good vibe!! YMCA #Ymca

Ghetto Black Girl at the check In was so unprofessional and not so smart. I booked and paid for my stay with hotels.com. All she was suppose to do was charge me the 20 fee. This idiot charges me twice for the room. And then when I went to confront her about it she gets an attitude like the typical black woman. It’s sad how terrible they are in customer service towards other black people for no reason. Room didn’t have a working A.CThey lied about the WiFi. There is no WiFi No cable tv like they promised No refrigerator like they promised They place is just one big lie.

The hotel was OK. It was cheap, by the metro, and I also liked how it has saunas. Although the AC in our room barely worked and it was difficult just trying to sleep. The area was okay, a few blocks away from Central Park. Although there’s a lot of black people in this area that stare at you for being white or a tourist. Just know your street smarts, don’t talk to shady people and you’ll be fine. Would recommend for people that plan on staying a week, on a budget. Just know it’s very basic and minimal.

I was staying here for five nights. The price was one of the cheapest I could find on booking. Located near the underground and in 15 min on foot to the central park. My room was on 14th floor with great view on Mantheten. Bathrooms are public. Rooms are small and clean.

Quiet room on the tenth floor, great view, renovated and modern, good shopping in the area, very warm heating in cold weather, swimming pool and fitness at leisure, very friendly staff, very good room service. Come back!

Great free weights and cardio room.. The only thing they need to fix is the vending machine that serves cold beverages, its been broken for over a year.. Other than that, the staff are very polite and welcoming when you enter, and the place gives off a good vibe...

Good price, near of subway station, iHop and Popeyes. Cleaned bathroom, it’s a really good deal.

I wasnt expecting much as this is the Y and I was looking to stay in Manhattan on the cheap. All we needed was a place to stow our gear and lay our heads for a few hours at night. The Y provided these things. I would say that the place was safe and pretty clean. We stayed in two different rooms during our two days here. Here are the cons: Beds are not comfortable, cheap summer camp type bunk beds wrapped in plastic; one pillow, AC units in the rooms either do a poor job or simply do not work. Hotel staff is not present between 11:00pm and 9:00am. This means check in might be a problem if you plan on showing up late at night and check out can be a problem early in the morning. Shared bathrooms are clean but you have to check the hot water out. The shower in one of the bathrooms only put out cold water. If you require TV you might be disappointed; one of the rooms we stayed the TV was just static. The staff was friendly enough but its clear that they are not professional hospitality workers. Rooms are pretty small, the two of us were really in each others way when trying to pack and change clothes. This is not in any way to be considered a nice place to stay. It is lodging at the most basic.Pros: Two beds on Manhattan for around 100 bucks. Rooms are secure. You may leave your bags in a secure area until 11:00pm for free. No expectation of tips from anyone. The neighborhood seemed safe considering the reputation Harlem has.Bottom line, cheap utility.

I have stayed at the y, believe it or not, almost every week for the past two years and have booked many of these rez with Expedia. While all other stays have been acceptable, this past booking was the worst due to the very poor room: no TV, no table or chair, no fridge, motion sensor malfunction, noisy floor, no privacy gang bathrooms, dirty towel in room, no ability to change room when requested, fire drill at 5:50am.

This is a very basic stay and while the gym facilities were nice it felt a little unsafe. There are a lot of possibly sketchy men who seem to live in the building and there isnt much security other than at the front desk.

Convenient, quiet, but location needs more security

They never answered my call and i was on hold for 40 minutes! Disgusting.

Location was good 4 my travel plans. Was not happy about facility fee did not use them should gave got my money back.

Stopped in for some programming here. Historic and well maintained. Near transit.

No hot water, bed was a rock and my back and neck was sore, bunk beds are terrible, blankets feel like a steel blanket, it’s dirty, and service was bad. Horrible experience and I would NEVER stay there again.

Property had shared showers, other guest using public bathroom area to have sex

It a great place

The place is half a block of the Central Park. It’s very organized. The beds are comfortable.

Do not stay here!! No power in the electrical outlets + no one at the front desk.When I arrived around 10:20pm on a Friday, I waited at the front desk for 20 minutes but no one showed up. I went to the security guard and she said that the front-desk employee would still be on break for another 15min. What?!Also, there was no power in the electrical outlets in my room! Either night! Unbelievable. And, I was going to a Saturday all-day event and so went out at 7:40am and the front desk was closed, so I was unable to tell anyone. Thats not that early, so theres really no excuse for the desk to be closed then.Additionally, if you like to satisfy the human desire of thirst, too bad. They offered no options for drinking water. I went down to the front desk and asked where I could find a cup for tap water and they told me Id have to go to the corner store to buy a cup. Are you kidding me?!

We stayed here for 2 nights earlier this month. The location of the hotel cannot be beat. The hotel’s transportation is very convenient. All the areas were very clean. The bathroom was of a small size. I dont think I have even seen worst bathroom and toilet facility in anywhere.

Review for private guest rooms only! Gym facilities and pool are fine.To say nothing of ymca as an organisation itself, which is doing wonderful work. The private rooms in this guest house were tiny, massively overpriced, dirty and not catered for properly.The beds had a protective layer on them but also hadnt been unwrapped, resulting in a sweaty uncomfortable night with 2 sheets of plastic catching all the moisture and rubbing together noisilyRoom had no coathangers, upon requesting them we were told we were lying when we said we didnt have anyPillows are 1 cm thick. No additional pillows available.Heater is automatic and only turns on at 30f degrees or lower. No manual controlStaff are rude and beligerant, and will talk about you as if you werent thereShowers are nice tho.

There was cockroach. There was some hair on bed. When me and my friend tried to the room we have to show the room key.

Great stay with friendly staff. The rooms are small, but the bunk beds were neat and the room was clean. There are shared bathrooms, but those are clean as well. The key cards, however, worked whenever they wanted to, so that may be something that can be addressed. Otherwise great stay!

Reservation department not present in the middle of the working hours

Very clean and quiet, staff was polite and helpful. Most people in our floor were international tourists. Bathrooms and kitchen area well taken care of. This is a hostel so expect rooms to be small and bathrooms to be shared. Near metro station. Parking is not available but there are several parking garages nearby.

Being right on top of JR Tokyo station, its a convenient 60min ride by the Narita Express from the airport. The people at the fitness center kept that place spotless. But, what really set the hotel apart was the unbelievable service. Nothing wrong with the hotel, just missing any WOW factor.

The range of amenities offered was what someone would expect from a hotel of its class. The hotel was always very clean. Transportation to the city and touring is just around the corner. The ladies at the front desk were always very accomodating. We will stay there again without a doubt.

Great experience

Horrible staff! Please if someone knows the CEO or top head person of the YMCA on 135th street please give me his or her direct contact number. It would be greatly appreciated. This place needs to be reported!. This place has the worst staff here. Specifically, front desk workers and aquatic director and head manager for that place on 135th street are not friendly and very mean looking in the face. Their entire misdemeanor and presence were horrible. They don’t know how to talk to people and very belittling and degrading! This place needs new and better front desk people, aquatic director, and head manager. I think it will make a total difference. Zero stars!!!! Smh

Hostel rooms is not big. I had a single room on 7th floor and it was very clean. The shower room in the mens bathroom did not feel secure. NYC is an expensive city and were able to save money in this hostel. The staff was very friendly and forthcoming.

Everyone is really nice in Harlem, YMCA is on the same street as the subway which makes it easy,cheap and fast to get to everywhere. Bed mattered is terrible, room is clean everyday, cold comes in through the window and aircon and no wifi in the room.Its cheap but thats what you get. Next time will spend an extra $100 somewhere else.Australians are really welcomed into the neighborhood and feel safe

I used the gym three times and I was highly satisfied. I knew many YMCA gyms in Canada and I had a bad image of this organization because the installations were always overcrowded and the staff was poorly, but this one I had nothing wrong to say.

Very friendly place. Yoga classes are awesome! Staff is supernice. Highschool dorm feeling, we loved it. Someone posted below is noisy. Daa. Its Manhattan

The most friendly and helpful staff I have ever known !!!!!!Small room, but it was clean and and so was the bed and towels. Even the shared bathrooms were clean most of the time. Close to shops and trains and bus stations. Amazing gym, pool and the Internet worked perfectly. the fridge was really helpful

The location is okay not the best of locations, but not super bad. The hotel is located close to Subway trains 2,3 just a block away, making transportation to most places in New York City between 20-45 minutes. The staff is very friendly and kind. The room was like a dorm room with an outside shared bathroom again much like a dorm room type facility. It was an alright place just to sleep if you are on a tight budget.

I was bored completely by the breakfast. Location is a little bit difficult to reach. There really isnt much to do here. The bathroom is on the smallish size. I have booked by phone and when arrived I didnt have a room. Harlem is a bad place to stay: dangerous and far away from the centre.

Good location. Close to subway.Clean bathroom. Nice to have a fridge in the room. Internet worked in common areas only.

Clean, not so expensive, the staff are very nice (receptionist, trainers, guards). Very near to Central park.

Let me start by saying the staff were super friendly and I have no complaints about them whatsoever. However, this is by far the worst accommodation we have stayed in. The rooms are practically open to the outside, so are very noisy. The bunk beds are old, bent and broken in places. The wifi did not reach our room. Stay here if you absolutely have to, otherwise avoid.

I didnt want to spend much money to sleep for a few hours and go out visiting NYC so opted for a place I could sleep, have a shower and go out. The staff were super amazing and nice. Yes the room was tiny, the tv was old, and the bed was small but it did the job and was a 1/4 the cost of staying in a hotel. The washrooms are shared but you get the washroom to yourself and can shower and change and it has locks. Very close to the subway.

It was small, dirty and bad smell place with cockroach

The hotel is ok if you are use to travel and being in dorms, if not then you probably wont like it. It was clean which is the must important thing for me. The ac is a little noisy but is an ok place if you are looking for something cheap for a few days.

I stated there in June, that is a good place to stay, the relation between money and service is ok. Common places are always clean and room service is acceptable.

...except not as clean and with one toilet and one shower for an entire floor of women. It wasnt easy having to hustle to the elevator in the middle of the night to use the bathroom because some girl was tying up the ONE bathroom on my floor seemingly endlessly. Having a females bathroom the size of a closet for an entire floor is ridiculous, especially when the mens restroom looked to accommodate more than one person at a time. I believe I paid about $80 a night, which seems a little outrageous considering Ive paid less than $20 a night at a hostel in Europe that was cleaner and with better facilities.

While this place is a great addition to the neighborhood and a very positive influence on the children in the area, I feel that they could do something to change their appearance and perhaps make more of an impact in the area. Im not sure if they hold many events but they could make major impacts with helping the community to reconnect, particularly one that has issues with violence and other negative influences.

Helpful staffs. Near subway. The room is OK. Could be better if there are more toilets on each floor.

Summer Camp not safe! We had to take our kid out because the counsellors are not properly trained in child development. At least for younger kids, this is not a safe environment.

I walked in today, June 9th at 9:55am, and my presence was completely ignored due to a little gossiping session the front workers were having. I asked for information for summer camp, the young man gave me the papers and wandered off back to another conversation. When I asked about pricing, he had a straight attitude, took the papers from myHand and just shifted them back as if it was a bother to clear up my question, very unprofessional environment.

Its 19 minutes from Times square. There are a lot of facilities. The staff is helpful.

They have a lot of winter and summer activites

I experienced a lot of things its the perfect place to work out

Women traveling alone or even with another female friend should not stay here unless you look like a body builder or He-man. Just needed a place to lay our heads for a last min booking, and thankfully we only stayed one night. The location was ok though. Near subway and short ride into Manhattan.

Very clean , great staff , sauna , steam room , nice warm water in pool.

Dont stay here if you want to sleep during your stay, be at a reasonable temperature and use the toilet. Woke up by cleaner every morning at 4.30, cant turn radiators off, they turned them on every evening and early morning, couldnt sleep because air con was so noisy. cant open window, but there are holes where air con unit has been put in badly. Incredibly noisy, nypd station a block away so sirens all night. 1 female toilet and shower in the same room for an entire floor of 30 rooms, they said there were showers for the gym on a different level but i could not find them. no hand drying facilities, bathroom constantly flooded, taps coming away, no toilet paper. No hand basin in room. Samsung tv was good, but without a doubt the worst vacation accommodation i have ever stayed in.

Great facilities, friendly staff, one of the few uptown pools, and lots of discounts (students, teachers, families, etc.). Great gym! Have only been here for the gym btw

If you are alone and want to see the city on the cheap, this is a great value. If you are student and use to bathrooms/showers down the hall, this is the place for you.

Dont expect more than a bed.

Excellent place for tourists for a couple or more days, 2 mins from metro station, very cheap but very clenaan, with friendly and helpful crew

It needs a lot of maintainance and renovations. There needs to be more private bathrooms and regular room service.

I was totally surprised, shure the rooms are small, but clean, clean beds, refridgerator, bathrooms, good AC, TV, wouldnt ask for more.Unfortunately, free breakfast is only for one day!

Harlem Y is an awesome place to stay in NYC; gym, great location and historic

Convenient to public transportation and restaurants.

Clean room, relatively cheap, good location. Would like to rate it higher but the made stole everything I left in room during the day.

So friendly staff, clean rooms and bathroom. Only prices were high relatively!

Not in a good area.

The Harlem YMCA where people work kissing other people asses directors does not know how to treat their employees with respect (Latoya Jaskson) and other director like to fire other employees for doing something then making a error oh I almost forgot the security gaurd in the morning shift 8 to 4 sell drugs at the YMCA Ive seen the guy sell drugs to other customer and employees at the Harlem YMCA

The pictures is totally different ,The pictures is totally different , The pictures is totally different , The pictures is totally different , The pictures is totally different , The pictures is totally different ,

Basically this is a crack house

Messed up with the booking

Avoid at all costs

Just di best

Very clean.

Good value for money.

Not for family travelers, poor facilities, no foods even no water...

Great place to workout

Rough place

Really clean

Its something new for me thank you

My girlfriend loves this place

Love this place!

Bee line bus

The room was very cold and the staff attitude was cold aswell
