My stay was a good one. The family is warm and welcoming yet professional. The house is quite large and my rear of the house room (#5) was spacious, secure and comfortable. I am sensitive to noise and always travel with earplugs; they came in handy as the room is right beside the kitchen. Not terribly noisy, but noticeable to me without earplugs. I would absolutely stay again and am curious to see what the house is like in the busy season with more than two guests. (There was only one guest...

Was very impressed that this place actually looked exactly like the pics online. The staff was friendly and approachable from the start. I have been here for 5 days and it feels like home. Very pleasant place.

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!

You don’t get what you paid for, you get more! Excellent location, great rooms, and amicable staff. There is also a 24 hours store next door if you’re feeling hungry and want a little bite which I find super convenient. Will be coming again! Thank you so much Q4!

It was excellent for the solo traveler. I don’t believe it would work for someone in a wheelchair, or with other type of limited mobility. And if you aren’t strong enough to climb up a few little steps on the small ladder to get to a top bunk, you should let them know that when you make a reservation. I stayed in the top bunk this time, and it was super easy to get in and out, but I can see how it might be daunting for somebody else.
