Stayed at the Vanderbilt YMCA for three nights following a business trip. As I just needed a place to crash for the weekend, the $63 rate was too hard to pass up, especially considering most hotels in midtown were going for $400+. The rooms are definitely snug with a twin bed, dresser, mirror, fridge, small closet, and 15" TV. The... more

Stayed at one of the single rooms, the room was clean but small with a tiny window. Shared bathrooms were mostly clean although a bit drafty. I didn't deal with many staff members but the reception was friendly and helpful. The Y has a laundry room on site which is great if you're staying for awhile. Just make sure you... more

I was in this hotel for 5 nights. The location is great, quite central making it easy to travel anywhere in manhattan, many places even possible to visit on foot if u like to enjoy the street. The rooms are small and you have to share restrooms with other costumers but the price is quite cheap wich i think made... more

I stayed here for five nights over Christmas. I have to say my heart sank on seeing the room - they seem to have done everything possible to make it look bare and bleak: lino floor rather than carpet, blinds rather than curtains, wire shelves rather than wood, cold fluorscent lighting. But once you get used to that, the room... more

I stayed 5 days at the YMCA Vandebilt and although the rooms are small, this is a great place to stay for a budget traveller. I booked room at US$65 a night (a bargain) - YMCA is a charity for you don't have to pay the 14.5% state tax on top of the room rate. The location is great, 10... more

This place is a great bargain. I spent 69.00 for a single room with fridge desk and TV. The room was small but clean.. Everything seemed to be freshly painted. Bathroom and showers down the hall--they were adequate..not great. The front desk was super friendly and helpful. You can book your shuttle transportation to the airport here too! Place was... more

This place has a great location, 5 minute walk to the UN, and 15 minute walk to Times Square. I found the rooms small, simple but clean, the bathrooms were generally clean. It is excellent for the solo traveler. You will have a small bar fridge and TV. Having said that, the staff, particularly the night staff, are so rude.... more

I travelled to NY in November 2009 and was there for 2 weeks. The hotel was good for the price I paid. In Manhattan, it is very difficult to get an accomodation below $90.00 per day and for that price it was worth it. The shared bathroom facility on each floor was also good. It was always clean and tidy.... more
