Reviews
I had a two-night stay in the The Local Ari and it was a great experience overall. The hospitality was 10/10—staff were friendly, warm, and very accommodating throughout my stay. The caretakers and "barista" in particular were lovely, and they serve great coffee along with a simple breakfast (not included with my stay, but available for purchase). Although the room didn’t have a view, it was still very comfortable and more than suitable for a short stay. The location is a big plus, as it’s close to the train station, making it easy to get around Bangkok. The rooms are quite spacious—easily fitting 3–4 people, which makes it a great option if you’re traveling on a budget. That said, there are a couple of areas that need improvement. My friend experienced a leaking ceiling, which should definitely be fixed, and there were some ants in the room. These were relatively minor issues but should still be addressed promptly to improve the overall stay. Overall, I would still recommend this place for anyone looking for a reasonable and affordable stay in a convenient location. P/S Attached photo with our lovely and friendly barista ✨🤍
Great Hostel! Clean, modern rooms with comfy beds and quite big bathrooms. Located in a quieter neighborhood, with restaurants/coffee shops etc. in walking distance. And the rooftop chillout area is perfect for enjoying the sunset!
We loved our stay there; the neighborhood is quiet and all amenities are close by. The rooftop is very pleasant with a lovely view. The café just downstairs from the hotel is very good and the lady who runs it is very kind.
