Nice staff and location. For the money paid they could have thrown in free breakfast or at leastl free tea and coffee but the owner is too profit chasing for that. Also some of the other guests were aggressive or weird and made the atmosphere different.

This property was pretty well kept amd staff was super sweet and helpful. There is alot of art or hipstery vibe to the atmosphere and I was slightly hesitant about the idea of staying at a hostel but thankfully My experience has been good with the roommates I was paired with and all of us were cordial and got along. There's definitely a sitting and study area, laundry facility/ Kitchen area that is shared by all guests and a beautiful rooftop where you can see the buildings and brooklyn bridge. There are drinks/coffee bar downstairs (Happy hour starts 4pm) . Any additional toiletries are sold at front desk and they hold lugagges for $1. There are also activities that they have throughout the stay and Some food place options are walking distance and the trains are not too far either.

First bed assigned to me wasn't done after whoever checked out. But then they assigned me to the perfect bed and room possible and i didn't feel like leaving. Had the entire room to myself. The common areas are so nicely decorated and organized, service/reception top notch, activities and events were tempting i regret not having time to attend and rooftop view to die for! I hope to be back next time if i visit NYC, keep up the good work!

I love staying at The Local -- every time, it's a treat. Nicest hostel in NYC, and I always feel safe, too. Great access to multiple subway lines, and bus lines too, if you need them. Only thing I don't like is staying on the top bunk, but that's a me thing.

Everything was as good for a hostel, with one big exception - when I checked in, my bed hadn't been made over from the last person that used it. I had to help the front desk clerk remake my bed and they promised that housekeeping would clean it first thing the next day but that never happened during my stay.

Had to wait an additional 2 hours to check in, then when i got to my room it hadn’t been cleaned at all. Our toilet only worked about half the time. However, shout out to the bartender she was cool!

It is a clean place, everything works nicely. People at the reception were always friendly and happy to help. Of course 110$ per night is not super cheap, but it is totally fine for what you get (September, NYC close to Mahattan, clean and well functioning hostel). There's two rather minor issues I had: 1. My keycard would not work after coming back in the evening, so i had to go to reception every day. Was easily fixed each time though. 2. You could not open a lot of the windows. Even though AC ist provided, with four people in one room some fresh air would be great from time to time. Overall a very good stay, would do again.

Defenenatly coming back. quite and clean place. i stayed in the room with 2 bunk beds. Everyone was respectful. Make sure ask for a key for the locker under the beds to store your backpack. There is rooftop with no bar, but there is great lounge area on the 1st floor with the bar, coffee, crousans. Awsome chill place. Also, bands and DJs play music in the evening. and 1 glass of wine is included with the stay from 6pm till 9pm...

I like the location of this hostel which is not too far from the subway, and also there are some nice little cafes around the area. However, they don’t have an elevator, so it would be tough if you have big baggage. The room is ok but not super clean.

The house cleaning ladies did an excellent job cleaning the place. A tall guy cleaned up the kitchen, dishes, sinks, garbage and everything each day. He did an excellent job! Very hard working guy. Bath towel was super clean and white. Fair price outside of Manhattan. The host was friendly. They didn’t change me for leaving my bad in the storage for less than one hour. No small bed lighting for each bad. No shower gel, you can buy from front desk. Some people might not be considered staying in the same room. A staff took his time resolving requests (without telling me how long it's going to take, after more than 10 minutes of standing and waiting). It was complicated moving to another room. Beds made noise with any movement. I stayed at the Hostelling International New York before moving to this place. People staying there were more friendly. It is 5 minutes from subway station.

FANTASTIC! I wasn't expecting too much knowing it was a hostel but I was wowed. It was so cozy and cool - the layout, the decor, the public spaces, the staff. I loved the coffee bar they have right in the front. The price point was great. I was not familiar with the location before arriving, but it was near where I needed to be for the weekend - I was able to find food nearby, and get around just fine otherwise. I would definitely stay here again and again. I've already been recommending this place to my friends.

Awesome place. Very clean. The lounge area downstairs was excellent for doing laptop work. Everyone was very nice. The room is set up that you still have some privacy. It would have been nice to have a soap supply in the shower.
