The Local NYC

I really enjoyed my stay at The Local NY! It was a great location with metro nearby and on a quiet street. I enjoyed everyone I interacted with at the front desk but the barista was not friendly at all. That aside I recommend the cafe/bar given the price.

If literally all you need is place to crash for a night, this place is fine. My biggest complaints are that the bathrooms weren't very clean and the kitchen was a disorganized mess that felt like it was in a college dorm. Calling it a kitchen also feels like a misnomer as their "stove" was a series of old hot plates that barely worked and their "oven" was an air fryer. Also, since the bottom floor has a cafe, anyone (even people not staying there) can come in the building, which wouldn't have c...

Great location for exploring NYC - love the roof too terrace

Great value for money for the private room with double bed. Stayed singe but can think with 2 people the matrass would not be great as the matras quality is not great. General atmosphere was ok. One day there was a school trip there and the second say a private event held in the hostel. Hostel lacks the social aspect as European hostels will have but on the basis of a room and location and value for money its a good stay.

Coming from Europe and having prior hostel experience, I was disappointed with my stay. Being a Female (19), I did not see any other guests around my age; in general, the hostel's clientele was around 35 and above. The overall atmosphere of the place was gloomy and felt really heavy. The hallways were dim, and the carpets had stains on them. The room was nice, but the bathroom was really small, and the walls as well as the floor of the shower were dirty. The staff was nice, and the lady at the d...

I stayed 1 night so can’t say much but these are my experiences: 👍🏼 *Front desk was nice ✔️me in early had the room prepped after 10 minutes of my arrival so I didn’t have to wait 1.5 hours to check in 🤷🏻‍♂️ *Lounge bathroom smells horrible but my room/bathroom was spot on so maybe they just missed the lounge * The bartender said the free drink doesn’t include tea even though the front desk told me so. She also looks miserable & tired that’s why people shouldn’...

Bed was a little uncomfortable but a nice lounge and bar and the staff was always very friendly and helped me with my questions. Good Location, not too good so socialize.

The staff here is some of the best of any hostel I’ve ever stayed at! I had an issue with my booking and they went above and beyond to help me out with it and genuinely any question I had. The staff was probably the best part of this hostel, though there’s nothing I can really complain about. The rooftop, cafe/bar, and location are also very notable. Also, there’s a really good 24 hour diner nearby as well as many other options and the trains. :)

Very Clean, great staff & a remarkable rooftop with a gorgeous view of the city!

The hostel was really great, close to the subway so you can get quickly and directly to the city center, and I felt safe walking back alone at night. Getting around is very fast. The hostel isn’t very expensive compared to the rest of New York. Everything was very clean. I just had the impression that it’s not really a hostel where you can meet a lot of people, since many guests are there for work maybe it’s also because of the season. But otherwise, everything was perfect.

Such an amazing place. The staff were all kind.

Very nice hostel, well located near public transport and places to eat. Nice atmosphere with large common room that encourages socializing and has a TV. There is a roof deck with great views of the city. Prices were quite reasonable for New York. Rooms are clean but basic; there is no place to sit down inside the room except on the beds. Bathroom was small but clean, with plenty of hot water in the shower.

I love this hostel, however, at check in the person made me pay for 4 nights even though my online booking was for 5 nights. Ofcourse, I didn’t notice and on the 4th morning I was kicked out by a “manager” while trying to sleep. One small mistake made by the check-in guy gave me a mini heart attack. I do expect a refund/apology/free credits because the person who screamed at me that morning was rude, unprofessional, and was blaming me for sleeping. I have never experienced anything like th...

i will be staying here again!

The Lobby includes a coffee shop and is very comfortable. The rooms and bathrooms are a bit tight which is standard for New York City. Almost everything nearby is pretty new. There is good nightlife in the area, but not great restaurants.

Awesome staff, and comfortable beds!! Will stay again!!

Very good for the price

this is one of my best hostel i ever stayed. price is bit expensive if i compare but quality and other first class. THANKS NYC local
