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.

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.

Location is wonderful and the view from the roof is amazing.

I loved the common spaces, cafe and beer bar, and access to laundry was an added bonus.

On return from international conference

Funky chi hostel close to the metro. Loved the industrial open plan spacious feel and the bar was a bonus needed after a long day of international travel. Unfortunately the check in system was down so took half an hour to check in, which was frustrating as I was tired. The staff were very apologetic. Loved the roof top city manhattan skyline view. Unfortunately noise from such came through the AC window unit so had a hard time getting to sleep. Loved that it was an easy walk or jog to the ferry to Roosevelt Island - great for a 4 mile run and very scenic. A must do!

They don't care about their guests whatsoever. They barge into your room after a quick knock and don't wait for you to answer. Two men barged into my room without waiting for an answer, said they were from housekeeping and didn't want a "Goldilocks" situation, whatever that means.Their showers blast water into your face and you can't even condition your hair unless you turn it off. I tried another bathroom in the hallway and they deactivated my keycard leaving me in the hallway in a towel crying for help for 10 minutes before someone showed up. When confronted, they gaslighted me and said they didn't do it. Stay anywhere you can except The Local. It's a complete nightmare. They also refused to help me with a cab and when I showed them that "Yellow Cab NYC" took $5 out of my account, they couldn't even mention that Curb is the actual app you use to get a taxi in NY. IF YOU'RE FROM OUT OF STATE, or don't know what you're doing in NYC, don't expect them to assist you with any information. They're nasty and inhospitable.

There's definitely a sitting and study area, laundry facility/ Kitchen area that is shared by all guests and a beautiful rooftop where you can see the buildings and brooklyn bridge. There are drinks/coffee bar downstairs (Happy hour starts 4pm) . Any additional toiletries are sold at front desk and they hold lugagges for $1.

Had to wait an additional 2 hours to check in, then when i got to my room it hadn’t been cleaned at all. Our toilet only worked about half the time. However, shout out to the bartender she was cool!

Excellent friendly service from the front desk staff. Cool space and a very great location to get to everywhere you would want to go in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Defenenatly coming back. quite and clean place. i stayed in the room with 2 bunk beds. Everyone was respectful. Make sure ask for a key for the locker under the beds to store your backpack. There is rooftop with no bar, but there is great lounge area on the 1st floor with the bar, coffee, crousans. Awsome chill place. Also, bands and DJs play music in the evening. and 1 glass of wine is included with the stay from 6pm till 9pm...

Nice location but the room was just ok

I like the location of this hostel which is not too far from the subway, and also there are some nice little cafes around the area. However, they don’t have an elevator, so it would be tough if you have big baggage. The room is ok but not super clean.

I never stayed. I cancelled my stay at the desk because I didn't like the fact that I had to share a room with three other strangers! It is a HOSTILE, not a hotel...and I didn't find out until I got there. I need a refund.

The property was very welcoming once inside and would recommend people looking looking to meet new people like myself or on a budget.

The house cleaning ladies did an excellent job cleaning the place. A tall guy cleaned up the kitchen, dishes, sinks, garbage and everything each day. He did an excellent job! Very hard working guy. Bath towel was super clean and white. Fair price outside of Manhattan. The host was friendly. They didn’t change me for leaving my bad in the storage for less than one hour. No small bed lighting for each bad. No shower gel, you can buy from front desk. Some people might not be considered staying in the same room. A staff took his time resolving requests (without telling me how long it's going to take, after more than 10 minutes of standing and waiting). It was complicated moving to another room. Beds made noise with any movement. I stayed at the Hostelling International New York before moving to this place. People staying there were more friendly. It is 5 minutes from subway station.
