Umm would never go back. Despite the one reply I would get on email for my access code, there was never any staff at the hostel. Maybe 1 or 2 other travellers. We had a car and glad we did. Would not feel safe walking around the area, you have to walk a while to find any food. One of the other travellers had to let someone in due to no aces Bathrooms were grotty, sticky floors. Wish we had a different experience but I would either choose to not comeback to Houston or find a new place to s

The hostel looks nice and socially, but there is nobody. And the way its setup, looks like its normal for nobody to work there. Nobody to let me in or show me around. From 16:00 untill i left the next morning. I go to a hostel instead of a hotel to have some more interaction with people. So this hostel was a huge disappointment. But it is clean, comfortable beds and sheets and nice towels for use. So if you only look for a place to sleep, its fine.

I saw a few reviews stating there was no staff, so I was a bit worried but I had no issues at all. The hostel states they are staffed until 9pm, so as long as you come or reach out before then, you'll be good to go. The hostel was cool with 2 sitting rooms, and upstairs kitchen and a few common bathrooms. I had no problems with my stay.

WARNING: Don’t be fooled by fake reviews boosting this hostel’s rating! I’m an experienced backpacker and not demanding at all, but this place is unacceptable: • No staff at check-in, I waited 1 hour outside. • No ID or passport check — huge security risk. • Completely empty when I arrived, I even had to let another guest in myself. Only positives: clean and comfortable beds. But nothing around, you need a car.

I had a terrible experience at Wanderstay Houston. Arrived 9:37 pm, locked out due to confusing remote check-in, no staff, calls went to voicemail. Forced to spend $90 at another hotel. Next morning staff arrived late, making me miss a meeting. Later, got large bug bites from the lobby couch. Facilities are poorly maintained: broken sink, no toilet paper, and dirty common areas. Location and décor were fine, but service was inadequate. I love hostels—but this was frustrating. Avoid Wanderstay...

The only thing I liked about this hostel was the large and comfy bed. The staff were friendly and helpful but the problem was they were never there. So this causes security issues because I had to let people into the building at times because no one else was there at the desk. This was in the middle of the day. The kitchen is missing a lot of basic things even for a hostel, no paper towels in bathroom, toilet paper ran out (I checked the labelled drawers) with no staff around to help me.

I really enjoyed my stay. The beds were very well made and clean. Check in was simple and easy and staff onsite were very friendly and helpful. The area was perfectly ok. As a solo woman, I felt safe. Would stay here again

When they say check in is at 3pm they mean they won’t answer the phone or door for you to drop your stuff off before hand. It’s not the most walkable area either so beware. As for the actual place it’s nice and clean. Beds are comfortable. But I didn’t see much social life there and the staff is rather non existent. I only met one and I was irritated that she left me outside in the heat for so long even though I was ringing the door bell and calling the phone number.

The sheets were very dirty, orange, yellow and blood stains on it Room was so hot, the AC was not working and when we told the staff, they didn’t do anything No private bathroom as promised Far location No staff on site for most of the day, no front desk person to ask for new sheets or items when needed So dirty overall, not worth the price

This hostel was quiet, clean, and comfortable. I loved that is was NOT a party hostel. Check in was simple and easy, the room and bed were clen- they gave us towels, rags, blankets, and sheets. The beds were QUEEN sized, which was great! Location was just fine and there were a few places I walked to- Axle Rad, Post Office, and Gas station ( all within a 10 min walk). Very nice stay

Traveled with a friend during our Texas road trip. Wanderstay was a great option. Great price. Clean. Safe. That's all you can ask for.

Stayed here over the weekend for an event and I enjoyed it. The price was good and the hostel was small and cozy. Not a place to come if you are looking to party. This is a chill, calm, cool, nice vibe hostel. A place to meet friends , hang out, relax, etc. there was a bus stop just a block away and there’s everything you need close in the area.

Traveled for dreamcon and enjoyed my stay. They have very large beds and a guest kitchen which was nice. The hostel was overall very clean. I felt very safe here as a solo traveler. The area of the hostel was just fine. I had no issues. The city is doing construction but that’s not on the hostel . Highly recommended.
