Parking was easy and convenient. The Central YMCA is across from Ala Moana shopping center which has everything you could possibly need. It is also huge and confusing. The Y was a blessing. Accommodations in the area are exorbitant so finding a reasonable place was a relief. It’s an old building so it’s a bit dingy but a private room, a place to sleep… that’s all I needed.

I have stayed at, and continue to stay at this property because of its no frills rooms, great location, and privacy. Accommodation in Honolulu is extremely expensive, and this property is affordable for all travelers. Anytime I’m traveling through Honolulu on the way to my destination, I choose this property.

YMCA is not a stay like a hotel, nor a motel, not a hostel. This place is predominantly a community shelter and youth cheap option, considering the advantage of be in a very central position. The cleaning is definitely poor, but staff do their best to make this a better place every day. Lots of community initiatives promoting to give a safe healthy space to live, with affordable pricing to those ones most disadvantaged.

Clean room. NO air conditioning. Had a fan. They had trouble finding a key to a room. The building outside the room is old and dingy. There are a variety of people that are at the lower end of the scale, this is a place where people go who can't afford better. Staff were nice and friendly. They require a security check based on your ID, they check a database for sex offenders. Huge mall (Ala Moana) that is very nice right across the street. 3 lunch trucks right next door. City buses are excellent, you can take one to Waikiki Beach. Ala Moana Beach park is close.

Not a standard business trip stay but fits the bil

Not a standard business trip stay, but Honolulu was overbooked and YMCA fit the bill. Location is amazing. Facilities very simple but adequate, and staying there felt like contributing to a community, rather than a random hotel company.

It's Fun to Stay at the YMCA

YMCA offers affordable safe housing for people who may not have the ability to get conventional housing for whatever reason. I stayed here until my apartment was ready. It was an affordable flexible alternative to the high price hotels that surround it. The building is aged, but patched together like an heirloom quilt offering warmth and comfort. The staff are just as charming. Coffee and water in the lounge, and washer and dryer on the 5th floor. Not to mention you are in the heart of the busy downtown area. Shopping, restaurants, and of course the crystal clear ocean. You get to experience Hilton's Friday night fireworks without paying Hilton prices. Also the food trucks outside your door. You have privacy in your room, shared bathroom, but if you are a young explorer this is a good alternative to vacation on a dime. Don't sleep on the YMCA, instead sleep at the YMCA.

I have stayed at this property before, and while it definitely could use some new paint (I say this in a kind way because the place is great for short stays), this time when I returned they were refurbishing certain parts of the building and it’s looking nicer and nicer. It’s not a 5 star resort, so if you don’t go in expecting luxury you’ll be pleasantly surprised. The people who work there are great and I’d absolutely stay there again!
