Ashley
I really enjoyed my stay and amazing staff. Especially the cleaning crew. The kitchen was a great touch to my stay as well and definitely recommend for solo travelers.
Jivelyan
Los empleados fueron super atentos y amables en todo momento. Tienen un área donde dejar la maleta segura. La zona se ve tranquila, incluso caminé sola por la noche y me sentí segura.
De la habitación las camas muy bien, tiene AC, una puerta que separa las camas del baño lo que da más privacidad a las personas. El baño es compartido solo con las personas de la habitación. Siempre olía a limpio y el ruido no era la gran cosa, muy buen ambiente y servicio.
Definitivamente me volvería a quedar aquí.

I liked it a lot. Never done a hostel I have heard that while it was a little pricey it’s one of the better ones in the area

The front desk staff was very kind and welcoming. The building was well-maintained and clean. Other than hot water not coming out from the shower during my first day, I would say I thoroughly enjoyed my experience (they quickly resolved the issue though). Staying at the hostel is also a great way to meet new people since you share a room with others. The hostel puts on a lot of events as well. For example, when I was there, the Knicks were playing in the finals, so they played the game in the lobby. It was a very lively environment since people from outside the hostel also came to watch the game. Overall, I would highly recommend this hostel.

I’m a return visitor and The Local is my favorite spot now. Super clean and professional.

Great stay and accommodating, will make my first choice if in the city again!

I always stay here when I'm in NYC! The only thing I don't love are the showers! Not the best water pressure and the shower head is my than 6 feet high! Also, no full length mirror. Otherwise they are on point!

Lise
All good thank you !
Souvik
The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. They have a good bar to spend time. Your first coffee/beer is complimentary. Finding a parking spot nearby is a challenge as they don't have their own parking. But the staff helped me find a spot nearby. The location is mostly industrial and not residential. So expect some scraps and broken cars on the road sides. The 23st subway is a 5 min walk from the hosyel. The hostel has a good lobby area where you can work on your laptop of three need be. The bathrooms were clean. There was in room toilet and bathroom as well in the dormitories. The toilet size is a bit too small though. They cleaning staff does a wonderful job to keep rooms and bathrooms clean all the time. Please note that they don't have elevators, so it may be a concern for people with disabilities.

The entire facility has stingy smell the moment one walks in. The smell in the rooms are NEXT level. I was offered 2 rooms but no difference I refused to stay but charged for full night.
Terrible hotel/ hostel experience in my travelling history.
The NY City should pay attention to the facility as it can be a source of epidemic in future.

The hostel is sketchy. They are not transparent about their reservation. After I reserved ,they emailed that they do not host nyc residents. Immediately I communicated with them to refund my money then. They did the money grab scam of my money. I did not get refunded my money. They did not have any warning about nyc residents but an nyc resident like me reserved their place & after reservation they grabbed my money;not refunding it. #ScamAlert
Dayana
Only good thing was the view from the hotel and the staff. This was my first time staying at a Hostel. I will not be doing it again . The bunk beds were so squeaky and rooms so small. The place around was below average . According to my roomies they said it was better than most hostels they have been in. My money is better spent on getting a hotel

I can not rant and rave enough about this property. I can not wait to stay here again! The vibes were immaculate, very chill and open. Front desk was there to help with any questions I’ve had. I love the in-house bar and coffee bar. They always have events. I stayed two nights in the all womens dorm. When I stayed it was poetry night Friday then R&B night Saturday. Love the lounge and computer areas. Despite the events, the rooms are very quiet. I heard nothing! And I got to meet some cool people. There are some eateries within walking distance like pizza, Mexican, another bar and another coffee shop. I was very satisfied with my stay and will definitely be back! I love this hostel <3

This is a great stay at wonderful rate that is in a very convenient location. Everyone on staff is friendly, a lot of great amenities on location. I would highly recommend this stay.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience. I checked in at about 9:00 PM. I was attempting to pay my hotel deposit with tears running down my face from how windy it outside. I couldn’t see the card machine it was so bad, and the front desk lady just stared at me as I struggled. Finally I asked for some tissues so I could see and she said no.
Not even getting to the worst part. I get to my room, plop my clothes down on a chair, and step into a shower. And step into cold water. The shower room was the size of a closet, and inside was an inch of overflowing water. My clothes were soaked, and who knows what was in the water. I go back to the front desk lady and she brings up a vacuum. At this point 3 people were sleeping in my room, and none of them had reported the flooding. The vacuum failed and we had to get the bartender. He was very nice and helped swap some dollars for quarters to dry my soaked clothes. He’s the only reason this review isn’t one star.
At the end the front desk woman looks at me and says “Are you good.” No, I was not good. It was an hour and a half later, I had dying to go to sleep as soon as I stepped into the hostel, and she had not shown an ounce of respect. I was not good. I finally got my shower and had to go back for my clothes. And I will not be going back there again. Thank you to that random bartender, he was very sweet.

I really liked the location of this place because it’s away from super crowded areas. The subway was a 5 minute walk from the hostel which was really nice. I was able to visit all the touristy areas using the transportation nearby. The hostel itself was clean, warm rooms, good water pressure in showers. The only problem I had was trying to get a room with my two other friends, we asked a couple times if we could room together but they couldn’t. Other than that it was great, more than likely I’ll stay here again next time I visit.

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.

Matthew
Cool hostel with some neat facilities, great for budget-conscious travelers. Decently sized kitchen with two fridges, *lots* of appliances, and very large common room/lounge area nearby. Very easy to get to Manhattan on the subway. The rooftop is the spectacular cherry on top.
Curtains closing up the bunks would make for a cozier sleeping experience, and it won't wake roommates up when you turn on the lights or use your phone flashlight. Bunks were a bit rickety, and one morning (only once) the hot water in my shower was out.

Great find!
This place is cool and clean. Traveling solo but would be ideal for a group of friends, too. The staff were welcoming and chill. Got a coffee at the bar this morning and sipped it on the rooftop, gorgeous view! Arrived late to check in (midnight) but this was fine - I was welcomed in, no problem. Bed was comfortable (upper bunk), shower was strong and hot. There was a show happening sometime in the night - loud music from a nearby place- but to be expected on a weekend in the city.
Sarah
Pro: Very clean and a great set up. Safe. Staff is excellent.
Con: With on site bar, loud noise long into night. Rooms are hot, although the AC was not turned on because of others in the rooms preference.

Best budget stay in NYC!
It was a super comfortable stay for a short stopover in New York City. Super close to a lot of the best attractions and restaurants at an excellent price! I’ll definitely go back we
Mary
I would have never booked this had I known there would be a rooftop concert on the roof of the hostel building late into the night. I’m in my 60s and couldn’t sleep at all, and had a long road trip the next morning.
Rachel
Great location, and vibe
Location is wonderful and the view from the roof is amazing. After looking at what I spent per night, I am unsure if I think its \"affordable\" for just one bed, but perhaps thats just part of Brooklyn accommodation. I loved the common spaces, cafe and beer bar, and access to laundry was an added bonus.
Liliana
Property is good for young travelers who can share a variety of activities. Requesting towels takes time to be provided as it depends on availability. Fridges are small showing traveler’s food packed in disorganized view. I could not put any food in due to lack of space. In general, it was a calm stay.

It’s ok. The staff was nice and went out of his way to help me. I forgot his name but he was extremely helpful! Thank you! But the lady who checked me in did not look like she wants to be there. Although it was 2am so I guess thats understandable. The AC was weird because it was in and out. But for a budget hostel it was good and they have a free welcome drink.
Kabinet
I like the bar inside the building with a nice sitting area and the projector.
Reza
Other than hot water not available most of the time all fine.
jozlyn
The rooms were good they were clean and a place to lay ur head. The thing that made me want to continue to come back is their lobby, roof top, and bar it made it so easy to be down stairs or on the roof tops and out of the rooms. This place and the atmosphere were great and i will definitely be back.
Christopher
I’ve come here twice now and it’s been a good experience both times. I would highly recommend this place.
