Thank you for your review

4 out of 5
Pros: Good location; good value; clean and contemporary bathrooms; seemed professionally set up (more like a hotel than a hostel); common rooms (like a hostel) meant you could meet other people if you wanted to (and I did). Cons: Private room fairly basic (but expected at that price); bed rather hard; some bathroom maintenance issues (which I reported); charge for leaving luggage on check-out day (but $2/bag wasn't unreasonable); small, tired and soulless kitchen area with very little equipment (but maybe people steal things).

Practical hotel in the heart of NYC

Pros: Cleanliness, location, price, security and privacy.
Cons: Customer service and friendliness of staff.
Location: It's on the quieter side of Manhattan & while everything can be reached easily via Subway.
It will be ultra difficult to find a 'hostel-priced' accommodation in the middle of Manhattan with the standards of YMCA Vanderbilt. For this price, you will likely get some stinky, shady hostels in the area or even in the suburbs of New York. But YMCA Vanderbilt is clean, quiet, no drunk teenies, with privacy and security, and is close to everything one would want to see in NYC. I booked a semi-private deluxe room. You have your compact single bed with mini tv, fridge and A/C, and enough drawers for a single guest. The bathroom is outside along the hall and immediately across my room so very still very convenient. Impressive is the super cleanliness of the bathroom (looks new or newly renovated) and the towels are REALLY clean. Again, not cheap standards. The best surprise - as guest you can use all the gym facilities for free - even the swimming pool! The staff, especially the night security, are not the most customer service-oriented. There's an old African American working in the security desk who treats people like idiot children rather than paying customers. Everyone else, like most busy New Yorkers, tends to come off as rushing and no time to show friendliness (although they seem to have sufficient time chatting personal stuff while customers wait). I highly recommend this to all backpackers who are fed-up with the typical bad hostel experiences and even non-backpackers who are on a budget trip.

La taille de la chambre 2 personnes trop mais vraiment trop petite, pas de penderie , Petite suggestion au lieu de mettre un bureau sans chaise qui ne sert à rien ne pas le mettre donnerai un peu de place . Les valises doivent rester au sol du coup impossible d’ouvrir la porte .
