We had some trouble on arrival when the hostel tried to give us a room with bunk beds when I had booked a room with a double bed. One of the check in staff was very rude to us but everyone else was helpful.

After contacting Skoosh they sorted everything out and we were given a room with a double bed, single bed, fridge and aircon. Although the funiture was a bit old it was all very clean with a daily maid service. Bathrooms were also clean, I never had to wait for a shower.

There is 24 hour security who will always make you show your room key when coming back at night. Hotel is only 5-10mins walk from Grand Central Station.

It's not the Plaza-- but you're not paying for the Plaza. It was clean, quiet and in a safe neighborhood. The shared bathroom facilities were clean and I never had to wait. The location is perfect-- easy walking distance to many sights. A great value if you need a place to sleep and shower while you're in the city.

As long as you can put up with a shared bathroom, it's a great stay. The facilities were clean, quiet and comfortable and its location is hard to beat.

I would recommend this to others who are on a VERY limited budget. Since this is a YMCA, they had a lot of facilities beyond just the small room. There wasn't anything in the room besides a bed, desk, fridge, & TV (shared bathroom on the floor). They also check to make sure you have a key and don't allow any guests.

it was a clean and friendly place located in midtown - perfect for walking around town. not the cheapest for solo travellers but well worth it as you get your own room, desk and fridge. could sign in for one and get two in a single bed!
