I have been to many hostels and this was my first bad experience. Terrible attention in general, the room had a bed that made a lot of noise and moved that you didn't know if it was going to fall, I went to ask for a change of pillow because it was literally a sheet of paper and in a very bad way they told me no, one day I asked for a knife to cut a fruit and also in a bad way that no. Not the slightest gesture of predisposition. I arrived and check in took forever because the receptionist didn't know how to do it, not to mention the security person who greeted us who yelled at us because we didn't hold the door. It is very expensive what they charge for the hostel that it is. I do not recommend it at all

Worst hospitality ever. Bad reception at check in, no one is willing to help you. Bathrooms are dirty all the time, wet, full of hairs in the floor. Not worth the price.

Cannot beat the value in Manhattan. One step above a dorm, with a solo twin-bed room, and shows down the hall. Clean, safe but very basic. Room has a safe plus cable TV. You have Access to Gym and pool of YMCA. Location is fabulous, near Columbus Circle, so you can get anywhere by train. From EWR, LGA and JFK, ypu can get here in under an hour. 5 minutes walk to Lincoln Center and right near Central Park. 10-15 minutes walk to theatre district. Columbus Circle has a Whole Foods that is open late. Breads bakery right around the corner has great coffee and pastries/salads etc.

Questions & Answers

When you stay a night at the YMCA at W 63rd Street ... 1- Are you allowed to use the pool and weight room and treadmills also? 2- What time is check in and check out? 3- Is there a place to get dinner inside the Y there?

Maria Paletta | Oct 3, 2019
Glenda | Oct 3, 2019

Yes you are allowed to use the whole facility ie pool , classes etc. Check in is 230pm. But there is a luggage storage for a small fee. If you arrive early There's no place to eat dinner inside. I wod suggest using seamless. The places directly around the facility is pretty expensive but seamless, uber eats , grubhub etc will give you a better selection.

If I am a guest to the hotel, can I use the swimming pool and what time does it open/close. Also, do I need to book to use the pool and would there be a time limit? Many thanks.

Cee Bee | Sep 18, 2022

When you stay, there is a $10 per day resort fee and that gives you access to the YMCA facilities. The pool closes a certain time, I think around 9pm (cant remember exactly, so you may want to check other answers here).
