I was looking for some cheap stay in NY for three nights and tried Harlem YMCA. It is truly cheap considering NY prices, reasonably located (1 minute walk to subway, 15 minutes ride to Times sq.), clean and safe (24/7 security) place to stay. Neighbourhoods could seem little gloomy at first sight, but it is nothing to be afraid of.... More

The Harlem Y provides basic accommodation - a room with a bed, dresser, closet - shower and toilet down the hall. There is free wifi and a TV in the lounge downstairs.

We paid $323 for 3 nights stay for a double bed room which is rather pricey considering the location and condition of the rooms and bathrooms. The location is rather far away from downtown new york though the hostel is near a metro station. The conditions of the room is poorly maintained as the broken windows are boarded up by... More

then it's OK. 60 USD per night for a single room. A bit expensive if compared to the European equivalent (and does not include breakfast of course). The showers were not exactly in proper running condition, but again, good enough for a tired traveler. More

The staff is very bad and not helpful. I have booked by phone and when arrived I didn't have a room. So they put me in another one. I've stayed here for 15 min!! The hole places stinks, is dirty, the bathrooms are very dirty! Harlem is a bad place to stay: dangerous and far away from the centre. More
