Service was horrible. They don't clean rooms or change sheets. Said they were understaffed. But they were not understaffed to charge full price. Never going there again.

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.

The place is really nice. I won't take away a cleanliness star for seeing a small water bug. It's Astoria so it could've been a huge flying waterbug...

This is my go-to place to stay in NYC simply because of the staff they hire.

This property was pretty well kept amd staff was super sweet and helpful. There is alot of art or hipstery vibe to the atmosphere and I was slightly hesitant about the idea of staying at a hostel but thankfully My experience has been good with the roommates I was paired with and all of us were cordial and got along. 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. There are also activities that they have throughout the stay and Some food place options are walking distance and the trains are not too far either.
