What guests think

Reviews of YMCA Hostel highlight a practical central location near K Road and the CBD, simple budget rooms, and building conditions that can become very hot in summer due to the lack of air conditioning.

Shared bathrooms and kitchens are generally kept clean, though kitchens can be small and access to dishes requires a refundable deposit. Some guests reported noise from nearby emergency services and limited parking hours, while many praised the staff as friendly and helpful. Expect a straightforward, hostel‑style stay.

共同ルームもありますが、1人用の部屋が値段が大きくわ変わらず(日による)用意されてるので、少しの期間1人の時間が欲しい時に最良のホテルです。シャワールームは各階に配備されてますが、数は回によって違います。自分が泊まった4階は2つのみなので、タイミングを見図る必要はあります。また、階によってランドリー(洗濯、乾燥どちらも8ドル)かキッチン(少し狭いですが設備は良好)どちらかのみ存在します。自分の階にない場合は別の階に移動する必要があるので少し時間がかかるかもしれません。スタッフは夜遅くまで(自分が確認したのは深夜2時程)まで対応可能な上に、親切な方が多いです。

Good news : Everything from here is a downhill walk. Everything was clean, modern, and in good repair. My first floor single on the all female floor was very cozy. Window opened. Desk top fan provided. No air conditioning. The first day my room was VERY hot when I returned because the summer sun was beating into my room. The weak link of the room were the curtains which did not completely block out the city lights. The only electrical outlet was behind the refrigerator. I wish the door into the community shower room door was secured with a keyfob like the front door was. The shower room had three large stalls and three sinks which were clean and modern.

The stuff are realy nice people. With a great disposition to help to guests. The cleaning personal are realy kind too. The thinks didn't like me, it was in first place that the famale floor it was shared with males. I didnt understood that. Neader like me, than the hostel don't haved a dishes and cutlery in the kichen for the guests and they have to pay a deposite, to access it. It's really rare for a hostel and make de stancy something incomodated.

Dubbelrum helt ok för en natt och det är hostel. Tur att de hade en fläkt på rummet det var ändå 29 grader varmt. Lite folk när vi bodde där så toa och dusch var helt lediga. Saknar dock kaffe gick inte att köpa och det fanns inget porslin att låna. Men man kunde lösa in tallrik, bestick och mugg för en disposition.

Room felt like a prison. No air con, only a fan that was broken. Located just by the fire and ambulance station, so don’t expect much sleep at night. Would never recommend this to anyone. Had to pay 10 dollars deposit for hiring dirty utensils.

Parking is only available from 5 pm until 7 am. When I arrived at 3, I was unable to check in because they were unable to offer me parking. When I came back at 5, I was told I could only park if I moved my car by 7, creating an unexpected early morning for me. There is no A/C in the rooms. It was 95 that day and I was given a northwestern room on the fourth floor that no one had bothered to close the blinds on. They also prevent the windows from opening fully. It was so insufferably hot that I lay on the bed in my underwear with the door propped open - so much for a private room. I didn't fall asleep until 3 because of the heat. The staff were also rude when I checked in. The bedding and showers were clean. Without a car and with a room on the other side of the building and/or not at the height of summer, I'm sure staying here would be fine.

工作人員不多，但熱心友善。預訂了幾晚單人房，有升降機、煮食空間(2樓、3樓都不太大，未必有食物共享區)，尤其淋浴及洗手間十分整潔，亦有吹風機、暖氣及大毛巾提供，房內免費wifi穩定。不鄰近火車站，在斜坡上，需另轉一程巴士到達，帶著大行李箱下坡要多留意。附近有消防局，偶然會被吵醒。
