Hostels em Nova York

Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Our hotel door was jammed a bit and was hard to open and close. The door knob was also broken so you would have to turn it all the way and basically kick the door to open it.

For my trouble I was given 2 entries to empire state building. Room floor was never cleaned. When I arrived I was given a room that was not clean. The second room was horribly noisy at night, it was in front of the elevator and the was a noise of something dropping inside a pipe. The third room I was in was in a floor being refurbished. This floor was very good but very noisy around 9 pm. After 1 night in the third room I was told I had to change. The manager wanted to give us 2 bunker beds and we are a couple, we payed more to sleep together. Fourth room was kind of OK. Notice that all the doors in the hotel make a big noise so you need ear plugs to be OK.

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

location, staff, vegetarian friendly room walls are paper thin with no ceilings so you hear everything around you from coughing to conversations to snoring. Earplugs are a must. The showers were terrible though. No hot water in most of the showers and if someone else was showering in a nearby shower stall forget having any water pressure.

Location is ok The rooms do not have a roof, just because the owners think they are smart by selling you "privacy" but really all they do is set wood boards between beds, so you book a room and get a 60 bed room, noisy, smelly and the bathrooms are the worst I have seen in NY, had to change hotels but lost all money because it was non refundable of course.

It's a pretty cheap deal, 30 per night in the 4 person room, and i think there are even cheaper rooms with more people in them. You we'll make a lot of new friends and they have activities going on like stand-up comedy and organized nights to go to the clubs around. They place is run by international staff, there's a latino guy with cocky behavior. Rest of the people are nice and willing to help. My key never worked, i had to go like 4 times to the front desk to make it work (of course there was always the cocky latino dude there.... really annoying, he even pretends to speak good english and italian... he couldn't be farer). Rooms are really tiny, the 4 person room is really small, u dont have place to put your suitcase. There are two lockers for 4 people!!.. does it make sense?, not to me!. So basically is first come first served. Bathroom .... it's better if u don't have to use them.
