Thomas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were really nice and helpful overall, the rooms were cleaner than I thought they would be (makes sense since they have cleaning done to each room weekly or more frequently than that). Would definitely check it out again when doing a short trip to New York

Great place to stay
Nice and helpful staff. Location near subway, which can approach JFK airport linking by Airtrain. So I can reach the airport around 45mins. Really cool!!! But there are not many restaurants around.

Well-run hostel.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the laid-back, comfortable, modern atmosphere. So many places to sit and work/relax. Excellent place, would stay again. Biggest difficulty was the showers - head is far too high (at least in the female dormitory) and not adjustable. The water leaks out onto the floor because the liners are too light/short.
Amanda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed at the Local many times in the past and just recently it’s nice hostel close to every thing like train station,dining places,shopping, Quiet area and the price is affordable .
AMER, 6-night trip

The staff is amazing. The view from the roof is incredible. Laundry on site is $4 for a small load of clothes to wash and dry.
