- “ Only 2 stops from the fun, easy to get to from jfk, really nice staff, space in the room, nice rooftop, ...And the bzr is perfect to meet the other travellers. Ive done 5 or 6 different hostels in NYC the last 6years and this is my favourite :) ”

- “ I stayed at the Local for 3 nights and my key card failed every night. Every night when I came back to the hostel I could get into the hallway and the laundry but my card wouldn't let me into my room. I had to go to reception every time I got back to the hostel and have my card changed or re-magnetized. It wasn't a faulty card as I had my card swapped on the first night and it wasn't a loss of magnetism as I could still get through to the hallway. It was a little frustrating. ”

- “ I can't believe I can find such a great place in Ny. It's pretty close to subway. The room is clean and classic. Although $50 for a night is not the cheapest, but the quality definitely worth it. ”

- “ I don't think I could've chosen a better place..clean, comfortable beds, conveniently located close to the subway station. Met some lovely people as well. Overall, had a great time here. Will definitely be going back if I'm ever in NY again. ”

- “ This is a great new hostel. It has one small drawback: it is two blocks from the E/M subway line in Long Island City, Queens. The ride to Manhattan is only ten minutes but at rush hour morning and evening it is extremely crowded. Best to avoid rush hour when traveling. Another plus: it's a half-hour walk to teaming Williamsburg Brooklyn via the Pulaski Bridge with great views of the city. Don't be put off by the sort of underdeveloped warehousey area. It's safe and very New York... ”
