Hrm. This is a jumbled mess for Rhostel. I'm going to have to say Ala Mhigo overall. Sure, there's not much to be loyal to at the moment, but there is the Resistance and fellow refugees. Still, that's enough for her. Then again, she's been rather inconstant in her loyalty.
She was in the Flames, but she resigned from them just a year into the Umbral Era. And again, she joined not for Ul'dah but for her fellow refugees, all the way up to Raubahn. The place she calls home is near Ul'dah, but that just makes her feelings for the city more complex, not fonder.
In fact, of the currently open and unoccupied city-states, the one she most respects is Gridania. It was where she started her adventuring career, even. But respect is not loyalty, and as much as she appreciates the Wood Wailers for teaching her the way of the spear, she didn't consider joining them nor the Adders for a moment.
If you measure loyalty in strict terms of how frequently she's put her own needs ahead of the city's Ishgard would win, since she has done so only once. But considering she's never entered the city and has in fact only demonstrated such loyalty as a condition of the Dragoons training her, that's not much to go on.
Finally, there's Limsa Lominsa. Until a couple of years ago, she'd have called the city a near enemy, but now she's living there and all but joined the Arcanists' Guild. She still doesn't trust most anyone, though, and expects to move on soon.
So when it comes down to it, in her heart, her allegiance is to Ala Mhigo, at least to what it represents. Maybe she isn't always doing whats in its best interests right now, but she's always trying to get stronger so that she can do what's needed later.
Nahctgeim would be much easier. She's loyal to Limsa Lominsa. Unfailingly. She'll kill her father herself, if she gets a chance.
