Vanderbilt Ymca

Points positifs : Location

Points négatifs : I tried to wash my close at 10:45 PM I was just putting them into the washing machine then this man came in to the room going everybody get out get out at 11 o'clock no one can be on here says in ...

Points positifs : Manhattan location!

Points négatifs : Bunk bed was very uncomfortable and sinking. No chair! Smelly carpet!

Points positifs : The fitness centre was huge and complimentary for guests. There is a 24 hours shop just outside for conveniences. Aircon was very old, but still made it cooler.

Points négatifs : The rooms are clearly old and in need of a refresh. The paint was a horrible bright orange in the room. There is only one male and one female bathroom area on each floor. This meant I had to walk ...

Points positifs : Staying in this hostel is a great way to travel on a budget. Especially if you're in NYC for the first time, as you'll be out most of the day - and will only need a bed and a shower to come ...

Points négatifs : The place is clean, but might be quite uncomfortable for the very squeamish ones, as you have to share showers and toilets. Showers are clean, but look quite run-down, which makes them seem less clean...

Points positifs : The location was in mid-manhattan, close to where I needed to go and to public transportation.

Points négatifs : The shared bathroom sink counters were always flooded due to poor design. The basin was too far towards the back so the guests have to lean too far in to wash and end up dripping water all over. The ...

Saw decline in services this visit

Points positifs : I choose to stay at Vanderbilt YMCA because it is so convenient and yet does not cost hundreds of dollars a night.

Points négatifs : After staying there several times over the past four years for up to a week at a time, I may change my mind if the quality continues to decline. Each time I've been, the services have gotten worse. I'm not talking about the 25 year old TVs that are so big they are a predominate feature in the room nor am I talking about the creakiness of the bunk beds when you turn over at night, nor the carpet that hasn't been changed in over a decade. I can live with these for three to six nights (our typical stay). I'm talking about asking for an extra pillow each day for two days and never getting it. I could understand if it was overlooked once but when I didn't get it the first night, I asked again and still didn't get it. In addition, our room was not made up one day until almost 5:00. One day the top bunk was not made up but the sheets just laid on the bed in a bundle. Another night the top bunk sheet was made but the blanket was not put on it. So I will try them again but if the quality of service and attitude of the staff continue to degrade we will not be back.
