If you’ve ever found yourself torn between the affordability of a hostel and the comfort of a boutique hotel, a poshtel is your perfect middle ground.
The word “poshtel” is a blend of posh and hostel, not merely just a space to sleep, it is a thoughtfully curated space where comfort meets community.
It combines the soul of a hostel defined by its social spirit, community orientation, and affordability with the distinctive style, comfort, and essence of a boutique stay.
Local Lok in Varanasi is our take on this concept, designed for the modern traveler who seeks more than just a bed. We believe travel should be slow, immersive, and rooted in culture and our space reflects just that.
Unlike traditional hostels that are simple and minimal, a poshtel like Local Lok values:
- Design-led spaces that reflect the soul of the city:
Our interiors aren’t just décor; they’re a celebration of local craftsmanship, culture, and the everyday poetry of the city. Walk into Local Lok and you’ll find handcrafted interiors, antique doors sourced from across India, thoughtfully designed common areas, and a constant buzz of stories being exchanged.
- Private and shared room options that are thoughtfully designed:
You can choose between dorms or private rooms, enjoy curated experiences, and feel at home, whether you’re solo, with friends, or on a workation.
- A warm, community-first environment with the freedom to be yourself
At Local Lok, we foster an inclusive atmosphere where individuality is respected, stories are shared freely, and a sense of belonging comes naturally, whether you’re here for a night or a while.
We’re not a hotel. We’re not your average hostel either. We are a home for the curious, a base for those who wish to experience a city, not just visit it.
Local Lok is where you check in as a guest and check out as Lok- a part of the place, not apart from it.
Step into comfort, culture, and community.
