Stayed here quite by accident when a reservation made through a well-known booking agency wasn't. Rooms clean, not entirely new, far better than good enough. Shower had plenty of hot water. Didn't stay for breakfast or dinner (Indian meal).

We had a pleasant one week stay at the Indian YMCA as the staff were very kind to us. Beds were minimally clean but room had a smell which non-Indians might find unaccustomed to. The rooms were rather well furnished, being one of the rare hostels we stayed in that was furnished with a television. However, while common toilets were... More

I read mixed reviews about YMCA and also heard that its very noisy. I had stayed in YMCA twice last year -- once in Oct and another in Nov. The first time was with 3 other friends and stayed in a dormitory. It was quite cheap (food included), considering the location of the YMCA. The room was small and toilet... More

We have always enjoyed staying at YMCA but this time round were bitten by bed bugs crawling on the bed and pillows - we were offered a single room to stay in and being a couple this was hard to change from double to single and pay for double . I wrote to higher authorities but haven't received any reply... More

I didn't stay at the hostel but decided to meet up there with my daughter for lunch. I'd read some of the internet reviews on the food. Some were good, some were bad but for £6 per head I didn't really care as if were really bad we could have left it and gone elsewhere! The location is great for... More

This was our 4th stay at the IYMCA. On our 3rd stay we felt that the food was not as good as previously. On our last stay the quality and quantity had deteriorated greatly. The meals are what made the place a bargain so I don't think we will stay here again.
