I have stayed at this place twice and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive place to stay in New York- and let's face it there's not many. I booked this first through STA travel who messed it up- so do it independently. The cheapest rooms are small and have bunkbeds, tv, air conditioning and shared bathrooms but there are also suites available. The staff are friendly and there are lots of on site facilities such as a gym, swimming pool and a cateteria with decent food. The rooms are cleaned everyday and the place is very well kept. There are always people around to give directions and recommendations and you can book trips to places such as Washington, Boston and Niagara Falls. The best thing about the YMCA Vanderbilt is the location. At East 47th street between second and third avenue it is in a fairly quiet but central location with all the best places within walking distance. i will definately stay here the next time I visit new York unless by some miracle I can afford the Waldorf!
