The hotel is superbly located on the west side of Central Park, only 5 minutes away from Columbus Circle, offering a prime spot for exploring NYC. The rooms are a good size, complete with a decent TV with cable, but the refrigerator is quite small. The service was polite and kind during my entire four-day stay. The dining options, including coffee, sandwiches, and yogurt, were provided, but having to clean up the microwave oven after heating up breakfast was a downside.

The hotel is conveniently located close to Central Park and the subway, making it a great choice for budget travelers.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, while comfortable, felt a bit like prison cells with private bunkbeds. The showers were a struggle to get hot water, which was a downside. However, the location was unbeatable, right beside Central Park and with easy metro access to everywhere.

I found the hotel's location to be perfect, being close to Columbus Circle, with easy access to subways and transportation modes. The rooms were very basic in comfort though, lacking power outlets and needing improvements. The service was a mixed experience, with some staff members being impolite, but there was one helpful individual. Unfortunately, the dining options were limited to a take-away place at the hostel.

The hotel is conveniently located near Central Park, shops, and restaurants, offering a five-star experience with walking access to top attractions. The rooms provide all necessary amenities for a short stay, though some noise disturbances were present from slamming doors. The service quality varies, with some staff being very friendly while others are less attentive. The dining options are adequate but may require minor cleanup after use. The prime location compensates for any minor inconveniences, making it a recommended stay.

The hotel had rooms that were quite a bit smaller than expected, with almost no light coming in from a tiny window. However, having individual bathrooms to lock oneself in added a sense of privacy. The rooms were equipped with an air cooler, a small TV, and a fridge, making the stay comfortable but compact.

My stay at the YMCA was just what a solo traveler like me needed. The location was superb, right beside Central Park and only a minute away from Central Park. I could easily walk or take the subway to almost anywhere in the city. The staff were friendly and the value for money was great. However, the rooms needed a really good deep clean, especially in the corners and around the heating system, and being placed next to the bathrooms meant noise from doors.
