The Local is the best hostel I’ve been anywhere in the world. What they are doing feels like, in no small way actually, a push back against the divisive, greedy way the world is going. What a beautiful community, sharing a beautiful space. The rooms are immaculate and comfortable. Strong hot water that’s good to drink. Can’t wait to return!

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.
