I have stayed at the West Side YMCA many times over the last years, mainly because of its price and location (upper West Side, opposite Lincoln Center). The single rooms are very small with spartan furniture (a tiny single bed and wobbly desk, a few hangers for clothes, a shared bathroom and toilet, no sink) but singles with bathroom are also sometimes available at a higher cost. There is a gym with a swimming pool and a variety of exercise classes included in the prize.

Unfortunately, the cafeteria is closed since the Covid lockdown and won't reopen (the space is currently renovated for different purposes).

I recommend the organized tours, the hostel will arrange a large discount for you. You can cook easily in the shared kitchen area (Honolulu is quite expensive for eating out), but beware that it closes at 10pm and then there is no bar inside or a place to socialize.

The beds could be more advanced, like having curtains or semi-secluded capsules. The bunks shake a bit. Consider also the 2 other hostels in the street if you are looking for a specific vibe.

Room was basic but clean and comfortable. Location is good, an easy walk to several food options, and we recommend walking down to Inman beach through the park! Pool area is lovely and nicely styled and we liked the additional outdoor seating and firepits too.

Great facilities and attention to detail, toiletries and some food provided complimentary which is a nice touch (although the pretzels provided in my room looked to be out of date). Dan was very helpful and responsive, a good host.

The welcome message was far too long and repetitive which made it difficult to find the required information. I felt a little uneasy after reading in the message that the location of Dan’s other house was in a ‘very safe’ area while ‘no guests had been assaulted’ in the area of the house I was staying in. This made me feel uneasy before I ever got to the property even though I had no trouble with anyone in the neighbourhood. Twice when I got to the front door of the building it had been left unlocked (presumably by other guests) and two very large windows left open in the kitchen one night while no one else seemed to be around, these made me feel slightly less safe/comfortable but Dan had left clear signage to lock the door and close the windows. My room was directly off the kitchen which was quite noisy from 7am so I had to sleep with earphones in.

The motel has been recently renovated and the furniture and equipment is all new. The bed was very confortable. The location is close to the old town in a quiet area.
