The best experience living in New York was staying at Centro Maria. The sisters always make you feel at home, and it’s the safest, most cozy environment for young girls studying or working in the city. I wouldn’t have chosen any other place to stay in New York. All my roommates were great as well. Everything from the food and the loving and caring attitude of everybody is just incredible. 100% recommend it.

This place is a hidden GEM! My daughter is currently staying there for school. The nuns take care of "their girls"! They make the ladies feel like home. Family style meals, get togethers, and caring staff, I couldn't ask for more for my daughter. God bless you for providing a safe environment for young ladies!

I loved the place. The phenomenal sisters... I met beautiful people

Best place for young ladys and girls. Lovely sisters

I stayed at the residence for a few weeks. If you want a clean and homely environment, this is the place to be! I will definitely come back.

Very nice place for young students. Room and board for a very reasonable price to be in the heart of Manhattan.

Delicious food 😍

Very Good if you need to be sure your daughter has been safe and affordable. Excellent desserts , Thank you Sisters

Nice facility.

The place is wonderful and the Sisters are very kind and friendly. The best place to go!

Great home for working single women

I recently stayed at Centro Maria for Christmas holidays while visiting my son and DIL in Riverdale community in NYC! I cannot say enough great things about this place!! I had a beautiful spacious room with private bathroom and comfy bed! Wonderful breakfast included and all at an unbelievable price! The walk to my son's apartment was only 5 blocks and it is completely safe and quiet! Sister Delia made my check in and check out so simple and she is a delight! All the sisters I met were so kind! I will definitely be back! Thank you all at Centro Maria for helping make my first experience in NYC a great one! God bless you all! Dixie

I stayed at Centro Maria during my research stay in NYC 2022-2023. I had a great experience! The sisters and all the girls I met at this residence were very friendly and helpful. They made me feel like part of a big family from the moment I moved in. I had a beautiful, very spacious room with a private bathroom and large windows. And all this at a very affordable price (much lower than the current rent prices in NYC!) The sisters prepare breakfast and the kitchen is very well equipped. The house is clean and in a residential area. The neighborhood feels safe and peaceful. I often went out for a run in a nearby park, and I always felt much safer than wandering around Manhattan. I worked in Manhattan, and my commute time was 30 minutes. The residence is well connected since it has the 231st subway station nearby and bus lines stopping two streets away. All in all, I had a great time at Centro Maria. I made some great friends and I will certainly stay there again next time I am in NYC!

Amazing place! The sisters are exceptional: kind, friendly and kind. You feel at home.

Very nice place! The sisters are exceptional: kind, friendly and kind. You feel at home. Spacious and clean rooms, we enjoyed staying with them, the fact of being outside of Manhattan makes it very quiet and safe.

This place is peaceful, clean and cheap. The nuns are very nice. If you need a place to stay in NYC. This place is the best option

The sisters are very nice, they made me feel very welcome, the place is quite clean, and although it is in the Bronx, it is a good neighborhood, I felt very safe there, close to shops, and public transportation. The girls are super nice; In general I had a very nice experience there. They speak English and Spanish. 100% recommended!
