    The rooftop is fantastic. The staff are all so sweet, especially the girl that typically works evenings with the cool nails. She’s always so helpful.

    The nearest subway is 7 mins from hotel, and there is no elevator!!!! Which is not convenient, especially for those who have 28 inch suitcase.

    The room is good, four single bed in one room, however the air conditioner is located in the lower berth, which means it is cold in the lower berth. I firsted allocated in one room, there is one person don't want to keep the air conditioner on. We three argued with her, while failed. Then I told to front desk, they directly change one room for me, which I super appreciated. The new roommate is so kind.

    It's about a 45 minute drive from JFK, so it was a bit farther than I expected.

    Facilities were clean including bathroom, sleeping areas, as well the common areas. There is also an amazing view of the Williamsburg bridge from the rooftop terrace. Very nice.

    the room could be better organised, there’s a lot of space but it’s not used at all. I stayed in 4 female room and for some reason we had a fifth bed there… nobody slept there ever! and upper beds do not seem safe, the handles are not secured

    cleanliness, nice location, good value very good quality for its money

    The room is a bit dusty and the floor is not that clean. Not a big fan of the industrial style as the brick just collects dust.

    The LOCAL NY is very close to the subway station (about a 3-4 minute walk) and easy to get to Manhattan. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. The staff was helpful and we were able to leave our luggage at the front desk before checking in and after checking out.

    Solid, did the trick.

    • 6 Bed Mixed Gender Dorm
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Mattress was a bit small, unsupportive, and loud tbh. There were some old occupants items there that were clearly left. Shower room was tight but the issue was that the shower curtain could not close well enough to not soack the entirety of the room for which there is not drain so it just pools in the room for when you get out of the shower. I'm not sure a solution for that, but it was kinda annoying. Maybe get a bath mat of some sort and make sure to change it out every once in a while with the towels and beds.

    I think because I stayed during the week it was much more calmer and older environment with less people in our room, which I enjoyed. On Thursday, when I left, it started to fill up more with a younger crowd. Really cool and comfortble main sitting areas including a full service bar by nigh and small cafe by day, large tv and movie watching area with comfortbale couches, desk area in case you need to work during you stay, and finally a really cool rooftap area with a lot of space and good views of the city. I actually really enjoyed the location. Although we were not in Manhattan we were so close to it the entire time and could get anywhere with the subway. Plenty close enough to the East River. Subway Stop just 3 minute walk from the front door. Neighborhood was ehh because of all the mechanics but a bit further down there was a cool park area with good food and drink options right there. Again we didnt have too many roomates in a 6 person dorm, but the people we did get to meet were cool.

    The people at the counter weren't too friendly, or maybe that's just the New York thing.

    Good clean stay, near the metro. Has a shared kitchen, rooftop lounge and indoor lounge area - common spaces are generally comfortable.

    Not much things to do - good for the short stay. Also, my bed was right in front of Air condition, therefore, I felt a lot of cold during the night. Hotel management needs to place the bed in such a way that it should not be in front of the Air Condition.

    The location is excellent - just 6 minutes of walk from the nearest metro station. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful.

    It would be better if there's a curtain for each bed, so when I turn the light on, it won't bother my roommates, and it would provide more privacy. The bathroom floor was flooding all the time so be careful don't drop your clothes on the floor.

    The room is decent, I like that there's a private bathroom and there's a door to the bedroom. So I could shower late at night and won't wake up my roommates. The storage is big enough for a suitcase, which is very helpful. You can leave your luggage at reception before check-in and after check-out. The staff was very friendly and helpful. He even helped me get the luggage upstairs. The view from the rooftop is superb.

    The shower curtain is too short to fully prevent water splashing on the floor.

    It gave me the basic necessary with a good view on the rooftop.

    It looks like they took an extra bed and jammed it into the room to increase their capacity as my bed wasn’t numbered and didn’t have a locker.

    Cool place, nice vibe. Didn’t get to hang out in the common areas but they looked nice and inviting.
