Vanderbilt YMCA

Checkin waiting time was too long.

The hostel was terrible! The only good point was they made the bed everyday didn’t empty the bins the blind didn’t open the desk ( what was left of it) was worn As was the rest of the room! the room had not been cleaned behind the bed as I lost something and had to move it away from the wall and found wrappers and empty pill packets and plenty of dust. The room was set on very hot which was a dangerous heat to sleep in. My private bathroom which was the reason for booking the room in the first place was a good way away from my room and the staff were both undertrained and very rude! Do yourself a favour and find a well equipped bus shelter instead I’m sure the passing bus drivers would actually talk to you instead of being derogatory!!

Place is very noisy with noise which is coming mainly through the pipelines and then through the walls. Room itself is very small and look much bigger at the picture then in reality. Guest have no any chance ti control level of temperature in the room so, it was too hot in the room that air was so dry and unpleasant to breathe. Opening of window was the only solution to get some "fresh" air from outside and to cool down the room, despite the fact that at the window is sticker which indicates that windows shouldn't be opened. What irritates me the most is the fact that hotel is not providing any kind (even the most simple model) of slippers which createing a lot of inconveniences for guest when need to use toilet and shower. I was in hostels in New York which sell you the most cheapest slippers for orice of 1$ and they are good enough to use them for toilet and shower. In addition, payment of 40$ upon arrival to the hotel is unclear for me. What am I paying for 40$? If is that for gym or any other additional service which hostel is offer (and which I was not using because of lack of the time) then, it should be charged from guest only if guest show interests to use additional services and not in advance, regardless guests interest to use it or not. Only positive thing related to this hostel is location, which fulfills my needs, everything else require a huge improvement.

Would have liked to know bathroom facilities down the hall rather than in the rented room. Got up from seep at 1:00 AM to go to the bathroom, and was locked out for 30 minutes until staff could get someone to give entry back to my room. I booked for two nights, but felt that seeping on an ar mattress at home was more favorable. Said for second night...checked out on time...inquired about a refund for second night and was told NO REFUNDS.

It is fine as expected
