What guests think

Across many reviews, Hotel Local 101 is praised for exceptionally friendly, accommodating staff, a central yet quiet location near the harbor, and clean, modern spaces, though rooms and bathrooms are generally compact and storage is limited.

Breakfast and the cozy bar are well liked, with some noting limited variety or slow restocking at times. Beds are widely described as very comfortable, but several guests report awkward bathroom layouts or shower water escaping onto the floor. Some experienced noise from other rooms or the quirky elevator, and on-street parking can take patience. Expect a stylish, small-room stay with warm service in a walkable location.

We had two double rooms with balconies for 3 nights. We traveled as two couples. Staff was welcoming and extremely attentive and helpful. We stored our luggage with them on both ends of the trip. Very accomodating with a late checkout. Happy hour daily 3p to 6p. Great location close to marina, shopping, and restaurants. They offered coffee and bakery items downstairs throughout the day. Clean and updated. We did not get breakfast or dinner there but did have drinks during happy hour. We would stay there again and highly recommend. We got bagels and donuts at DIEG Workshop a minute walk every morning after coffee at hotel. Try the Creme Brule donut .. it won't disappoint. Sky Lagoon was a favorite and fishing with Viggson Sailing for 3 hours. Don't hesitate to book this terrific hotel.

The owners and staff are very personable, what you want from a small business. They care about their clientele and are accommodating. The hotel is quaint and has charm. The owner took time to remember my name. The owner and staff made great recommendations. I would recommend staying here when visiting. It is located near the center, but in a quieter part. They offer a continental breakfast and have a small gym. The restaurant fills fast in the evening. Wonderful boutique hotel!!!

Very nice and cosy hotel. The rooms are pretty small but nice. The bathroom is tiny but functional. The staff is really helpful and kind. Breakfast has great healthy and sweet options and is served with a smile. WiFi is great. Location is very good, close to restaurants and Harpa. You can park for free a few streets from the hotel, make sure to download the Parka app (it shows you which sites are pay zones). Suggestions for the hotel; a wiper in the bathroom and a towel rack.

The hotel is right in the middle of the downtown harbor district. It's very touristy, but you're about a block away from the tourist attractions so you don't have the noise from that. Parking is on-street and you have to pay for it, unless you want to drive a couple of (short residential) blocks east to find something. It's a converted residence, so check with the hotel if you have mobility issues. I was in room 104 and had to sit in the tub to use the shower because the ceiling was too low. Also, a task light over the built-in desk would have been helpful. Having said all of that, the staff is great, the breakfast was good and it was a great place to stay.

A very nice, new hotel that is part of/above a bar/restaurant. I just want to point out that there was no noise from the bar that I could hear (I was on the 4th floor). Aside from jarring elevator rides, I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was almost new, I had a balcony and it was close to almost anything I wanted to do. For those who want to do puffin or whale tours, it's extremely close to the harbour. I usually stay in 2 or 3 star hotels when I travel and I have to say this is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in at that class. I definitely recommend this hotel for your next stay.

We did not find this hotel very functional. The room was extraordinarily tiny and the lighting was very poor. It was difficult to use the sink because it was so small and water went everywhere. Similarly, the shower water went everywhere, and the toilet was difficult to use because of its proximity to the shower. The equipment in the gym was substandard. Also, we wanted to have dinner in the hotel restaurant, but they were out of everything that we wanted. Fortunately, the breakfast was good and the staff was very nice.

Our only complaint about the room is there is no lip at the shower floor and the whole bathroom floor is wet after taking a shower. The lobby floor was a little dusty but everything else seemed clean and well-kept. One of their best assets is location - close to everything but on a quiet street. I would stay there again!

The pros: very clean, the staff were extremely friendly, helpful & the hotel itself was in good condition, a very comfy bed ! The cons: we booked the ‘small double’ and it was tiny - more suited to just one person. The sink was in the bedroom and the tap was too big for the sink so water would go everywhere when we used it, less than ideal. Needed somewhere to hang coats, ended up having to just dump on the floor… it was also very noisy, mainly from room above, very thin ceiling Overall not a baddd stay but wouldn’t book again

Nana was so welcoming, and went out of her way to offer us an upgrade after a last minute cancellation allowed her to offer us an upgrade from the basement to the 4th floor. She facilitated the change by actually coming to our initial room and then meeting us with the new keys on the 4th floor for the new room. Only negative was the fact that the water leaked under the shower doors and made rather a mess. But we would definitely come back! Very cozy, and nice that they offer a happy hour (although we arrived too late to take advantage of it. Thank you Nana!

Adequate for an overnight pit stop. Staff was excellent. Our room was small (but big enough) and somewhat awkward. It, along with one other room, was located in the building next door. The room came complete with not one but TWO tiny sinks. One (minuscule) was located appropriately in the bathroom and the other (very small) outside the bathroom. That said, we slept great and were very comfortable. The breakfast, served in the lobby… next door…was very nice. Perfectly fine, as I said, for our needs.

Wifi kicked out, especially the further from the door of the room. They could use a wifi extender in that part of the hotel, really good signal in the lounge/restauant. Happy hour drink specials, didn’t eat here. Lots of walkable restaurants and about 10 minutes to the rainbow street and lots of shops and cafes. Could use a fan in the bathroom as there was no ventilation after a shower.

While there was an electric kettle there were no supplies for it. Nice downtown area within walking distance yet in quiet neighborhood. We used link on hotel website for transportation
