West Side YMCA Lodging

So this hotel is honestly a 50/50. I’m not usually that hard on inn and cheap hotel because honestly you get what you pay for. Don’t expect a 5 stars if the room is 30$ the night but I had a kinda bad experience there. The staff were really nice and friendly. And the experience was enjoyable thanks to them. The hotel is one of the cheapest in manhattan and is well located so that’s a good deal for people on a budget. But I wouldn’t recommend staying more than 3/4 nights. The rooms are okay if not kinda dirty and the bed is confortable. The bathroom though is hell. There’s no hot water in the shower, the bathroom is a pool because there’s so much water everywhere for some reason and also the door doesn’t close. Since it is a shared bathroom with men on the same floor I didn’t really feel

Window in our room couldn’t be open, air conditioning very loud, heating can’t be regulated => every morning too hot, toilets and showers should be renovated! Only location of accommodation is great. Pictures on website aren‘t the reality..

Perfect location, clean rooms and nice service. Not very big rooms, but if you don't mind that, it's a great location. Bathrooms are multi stall toilets with about 3 showers on the other side of the bathroom, but shared among each level.

This is the cheap place to stay in Manhattan, the room was $140/night total when I stayed this time and $90/night when I stayed last month. The bathroom is shared yes but they have private bathrooms too. If you get a deluxe room on the 12th floor those bathrooms are private, first come first serve though. It is pretty quiet and I slept well. The people complaining are not looking at the other hotels, they're +$250/night, you're not gonna get a cheap hotel and it be four stars, you get what you pay for, stay here if you're on a budget. You can find a cheap hotel in Queens and take a train into Manhattan but right here you have Times Square only 15 minutes away, you're in the vicinity of all the restaurants and attractions, I could even see a little bit of central park from my room.

They do not clean their rooms. there are mites and/ or bed bugs. Looks like a prison cell so just spend the extra money elsewhere. The bathrooms are cleaned and the location is nice but who cares when you can't even use the bed.
