Greenpoint YMCA

Front staff very helpful. Located around a lot of restaurants and shops which was perfect. About a 6 minute walk from the subway (G line). Room was well kept and bathrooms were neat. I definitely will be back.

The rooms are good but, I had a bad experience because of intoxicated people down the hall. The police and the ambulance arrived and had to remove the person by force. Other than that it was okay.

The entire second floor reeked of something extremely foul the second floor is also the only place with a men's bathroom so good luck using the toilet of shower in this hotel. The womans bathroom is pretty nice though located on the third floor. Upon entering we also noticed the curtains being broken on one side and the beds felt like they were made of plastic.

The YMCA is not bad accommodations at all if your on a budget, what more could you ask for; walking distance to the subway that takes you right back into Manhattan, the actual YMCA is across the street from the police station (safety), and your a few blocks away from Williamsburg Brooklyn, the hippest, up-and-coming area in all of NYC. Walk down Lorimer Street to Bedford Avenue and check out Mugs Alehouse while your in the area, it's a cozy craft beer bar, that has more of a pub atmosphere and really good food. The YMCA as I mentioned is not glamorous, it has a gym, locker room kind of feel, but with beds. No Problem! Now with all that money you saved, "Eat, Drink, & Be Merry in the City"

This youth hostel is ok!! Well you really get what you've paid for!!! It is pretty cold in the room so I'd advice that you bring some blankets so you don't get cold (if you go there during the winter)! The staff is very nice and very helpful and it is only two blocks away from the subway line!
You get a free breakfast when you book there but AVOID it! The staffof the restaurant is very mean and they will treat you like a dog (even worse!).
