“ Awesome hidden gem. Staff were super friendly. Laid-back atmosphere. Rooftop patio with a beautiful view of Manhattan was a hit. And has everything a traveller needs. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting NYC. ”

“ If you want to stay safe and take a break, I strongly recommend everyone to place a book asap. If you want to make friends and get carried away a bit by making a noise through your trip, I do not recommend you guys to stay here. The local NYC was an awesome place. The building were fancy and just cool. Staff were very kind and spontaneous. I liked it very much. ”

“ Everything about he hostel surpassed our expectations. I remember telling my partner before we arrived that I hope the hostel looks like the photos online, and to my amazement the photos online do not do the hostel justice. The Local NYC is a an retro beautiful place with an awesome atmosphere and a chilled downtime area. As soon as we arrived everyone was so super friendly, especially the staff. The dorms are so clean and modern, just enough space for all your necessities. ”

“ Nice staff and clean facility! Metro line was about 3 min walk from the hostel so it was convenient to go back and forth from Manhattan. I would definitely visit here again :) ”

“ Stayed in a 4 bed dorm. Although the hostel is located in Long Island City, the M, E and 7 trains get you into Manhattan very quickly. The hostel itself has very friendly and helpful staff and a nice bar in a converted warehouse. The hostel also has a fantastic roof garden with a great skyline view, Really enjoyed my stay. ”

“ I've stayed in about a dozen hostels in NYC over the years and have to say that The Local was simply the best. No cons really, but pros include: -Within walking distance from useful metro lines so the whole city is easily accessible. Manhattan and Brooklyn especially easy to get to. -Long Island City, after some wandering, turned out to be really hip! -Multiple areas in the hostel for lounging and/or drinking - easy to meet ppl at all of them -An area for doing work -Friendly staff ”
