Guest Reviews

• Terrill (8/5): - I liked Karen she was very friendly and helpful. I liked the bed. It was a little loud for me, I think the neighbors were having a party.
• Lennox (2/5): - 0/5 stars. They gave me an overnight code that was incorrect/did not work and have been completely unresponsive since my stay was set to occur. If you want a host that is responsive and timely, save your money and time and go with another property that is going to be well worth the extra effort.
• karla (2/5): - I presented tons of issues while trying to complete the check-in process online, it kept giving me an error and when I tried to contact customer service about it they never responded. At the moment of arriving to the hostal, the lady in charge was completely rude, telling me to not ring the bell and that she couldn’t help me if I didn’t have the check-in code. Later on, once I reserved somewhere else, customer service contacted me and admitted the reason why they were not answering my calls was because they were “taking a nap” and tried to get me to email them my information, but in the end we decided not to follow-up with it, because the hostal was located in a place where it didn’t seem very safe and we didn’t have a great experience with neither the host or the customer support service.
• Erick (2/5): - No son las condiciones de las fotos publicadas
• Stephen (2/5): Bad smell - The whole place smelled like urine
• Jose Eduardo (6/5): - The check-in process was not easy, the email with the codes was late.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Blaw - Underwhelming
• Michael (6/5): Houston Hostel - There was assignment error of the bed I was suppose to be given. The bunk beds are NOT stable on laminate floors. A/C is poorly that I saw another attendee take and use a portable fan. The houses used are NOT modern looking like the images shown on this site. The roommates were friendly though.
• Alhakimou (6/5): - Good
• Alhakimou (8/5): - Good
• Samuel (2/5): - This property is in the ghetto ghetto proper. Came in and heard gunshots. I did not spend the night there.
• Iana (2/5): - I did everything by the book and was still denied entry due to not having received a code to the door. I had to find another place. And since Expedia was unable to contact them, my refund was denied. So 0 out of 10.
• jilka (2/5): - The property did not had a place reserved as mentioned in website And they didn’t even issued a refund
• Adolfo (10/5): - Nice place
• David (10/5): - Ok
• Samuel (2/5): Horrible cleaning lady who lives there. - Although the beds were comfortable and wide, my stay at this hostel has been overshadowed by the horrible experiences I had due to the worker/maid that was staying in the house with me. This woman, whose name I don't know, purposefully made my stay there extremely unpleasant. She makes loud noises early in the mornings, she is extremely agitated at all times and will take any opportunity to barade people for small mistakes, she threatened me with a taser (which I have on video) and tried to throw me out of the house for telling her she should act more like an adult. On top of this, she stole my shoes and threw them in the thrash, after which she refused to tell me where I could find my shoes. This was by far the worst experience I've had in the USA and the owner should reevaluate what type of people they let guard their home. This woman was anything but hospitable or welcoming, and I do not think she is the right person for this job at all, and I think she realises that herself too. She tried to yell me out of the property, and it worked. I left with all my suitcases because she made the hostel inhospitable, while also refusing to talk to me to resolve the matter. Worst hostel experience of my life.
