I stayed here for one night. Not too far from the city centre, plus they give you directions (printed or verbal) to get the bus to pretty much anywhere in town. There is a supermarket two blocks away, and loads of places to eat nearby too. I stayed in an 8 bed female dorm. It had a bathroom attached, which... More

From when you first approach the outside of this hostel you are immediately impressed. Situated in a large guest house this hostel doesn't feel like a hostel, more of a guest house. We arrived early and our room wasn't ready however we were given some breakfast and a place to shower. The warmest welcome we experienced over our travels around... More

Myself and my fiancee stayed over on multiple nights between Jan 30th 2013 - Feb 6th 2013. We had an incident with a disgusting room-mate on our first night but the staff were quick on offering us another room. Facilities are great. Pool table/board games (Trivial Pursuit Pool..try it!) aswell as a pool outside for the sunnier days. We stayed... More

Hi Houston is a relatively new hostel located in an oldish home that has been converted. The accommodation is basic but comfortable. The hostel is well located not far frpm central Houston and very close to public ttansport. The hostel is notable for the helpfulness and friendliness of the staffnwho seem to find nothing you ask too much trouble.

When I first saw the Hostel i was impressed of the nice Building. It is kind of a familiar atmosphere there but if you want to party a bunch of real good Bars are around the corner! The Beakfast is good and the even make warm dinner! The staffs are frendly and helpful and the rooms are clean.

Seriously, I was overwhelmed by this hostel. It offers a lot more luxury and comfort than I am used to, compared to other hostels. A nice international atmosphere gives the hostel its own flair, making you want to stay there! Including the usage of a nice pool and a chill out area around it. The price includes breakfast with rolls,... More

This hostel is located in the residential part of Houston, and is nice and quiet as a result. There are a few parking spaces, but space on the street if you have a larger vehicle. Staff were friendly and helpful, and gave good guidance on local activities. There its a nice outdoor area to chill out in if the weather... More
