Amazing positive energy. Like a warm, loving home. I had an absolutely amazing experience at this hostel. It is in a really safe area close to subway and central NYC- the rooms are good, modern, clean and the staff is 5 star service minded. They really went out of their way to do everything in a remarkable way for me! And they are so chill and friendly and GENUINE!! I just loved my stay in every single way! You have to go here! 😊 Thank you!!!

I liked the common living room and the cafe. There were really clean, spacious and well equipped with seating facilities. Most of the staff that I interacted with were friendly and ready to help. The beds were of good quality and we were provided with a locker to store our valuables. Common kitchen was a bit messy. I opened the fridge once to keep my fruits, and realised it was super full with no space as things were crammed into it, that the fridge door wouldnt close. And in my dorm, the AC was noisy, so sleeping was bit uncomfortable due to that.

I booked a room at the last minute after my flight was cancelled, and was so impressed with everything about The Local. They were so helpful and accomodating, from my initial phone call, to letting me check in early when a room became available, to booking a cab to the airport early in the morning, at their discounted rate. The Local is situated near the iconic Gantry Park, and is walking distance from shops and sights. The rooms are well designed and super clean, and the lobby has everything a traveller needs, from computers, printer, charging area to a bar area, comfy couches, local art...and my favourite: a roof top lounge area with views of the NY skyline and Queensborough Bridge. I highly recommend staying here!
