Wanderstay Houston Hostel

No laundry room or nearby laundry solution. Cockroaches but only saw one.

Horrible do not stay here.

Great value for the money, well organized and very cool vibe, highly recommended!

The only downside is the traffic noise from the highway. Unavoidable.

I love how secure the property is, and that it have amenities you can use. I didn’t like how noisy the room was not from people or voices but by the road/ cars. Also the shower could’ve been cleaner, and the smell from the bathroom. Also they need a better fan or an a/c option for the room I was hot the majority of the stay I didn’t even use the sheets.

Great customer service, I was not able to make it on time for check-in so they assisted me over the phone. Close to metro station, clean, and comfortable beds.

I just wish there was AC. It was pretty sweltering in April. Other thing is location. It looks central on a map, but its not really in person. I relied on rides rideshares but those are pricy in Houston. And tou need to be able to get around. I ended up renting a car for thr last 2 days.

Please bring your own, paper towels, hand towels, and toilet paper. Cleaning products, fan, tacks to pin curtains that aren't secured so you have privacy, and ear plugs to drown out high ways

When I arrived there was no one there--staff or travelers. It's in a slightly creepy part of town. I couldn't figure out how to open the gate for parking, then realized from staff email to me that the clicker to the parking gate was on my bed and I'd find it once I got to my room. But since no one was there when I entered, it just felt creepy and unsafe. So I booked another hotel and didn't sleep at the Wanderstay. It's charming and I would have stayed if I wasn't traveling alone, since there was not one soul there when I arrived.

I found dead insects not sure if they were cockroachs in my bedroom as well as the common area.

worked perfect for a downtown stay

Excellent stay experience

Lovely room with well kept facilities and lovely decorations. It felt very safe and the xl bed was fantastic to starfish after a long, hot day. The female dorm added an extra level of safety and it was extremely appreciated that we had our own ensuite which I have never had before in a female dorm. The staff were fantastic and very helpful and the kitchen was tidy and well stocked for my needs. Definitely a steal for the price I payed The bunk beds are set very low so I hit my head a couple times and the location is a bit remote so either a lot of walking or cars are needed to reach a lot of things. There was often no staff present at the front desk so questions about facilities etc had to be directed to any present guests (which can also be seen as a positive for socialising) and it took me a while to realise the kitchen was upstairs

Price was great so it was acceptable that it wasn’t perfectly clean. Not the best area (especially at night), 15-20 min walk to restaurants.

The workers are really kind. I liked so much stay there. The place is really clean.

I don't recommend this hotel it's garbage, it's not clean, nobody there to help you, you calm them they never answer. Bathroom is smell like shit and there is no water in the shower, the floor is full of dust, they never change towels, or clean the room. I got sick after I left it. One more thing it's too far and it's area not safe. I think booking should take them out of thier list.

Friendly staff.

Good

it was a great experience, staff was kind and helpful.

The room and location was nice. I was allocated bottom of the bunk bed. The issue is that there is not head space for the person who uses the bottom bunk . Hence, it is not possible to sit in the bed which was really uncomfortable !!!

Life and positive environment. Love it

Everything was good. Problems with bedding but staff reacted quickly. Location looks a bit scruffy at first but no 11 bus just a few minutes away and museum district 30 mins walk away. Subway 20 mins away. Nearest convenience store Chevron garage 20 mins away.Dorm Beds nice and large Just niggles about bedding

no

No soap/shampoo in room. Odd

Very good hostel

Very good hostel

Perfect size rooms and ideal for a few days

Location & check-in policy Not option to locals without private room

no breakfast. Was yelled. No response on phone call and stood outside for hours Fire the morning clerk and fix the broken door (handle off the hook and door dragging the floor) to the room.

I liked the safety of having a locked gate to enter the property and then a locked door to enter the building, all using regularly changed electronic codes, and the same for the room locks as well. The lobby decor was pleasant too. The location and my experience inside felt sort of isolating. There didn't seem to be anyone walking around or more than one person on staff. I couldn't figure out how to turn on the light in the kitchen. And my room was a bit cold at night, and I couldn't figure out how to possibly turn on the heat for it. I also couldn't find anyone at the reception desk when I left to confirm that I was checking out. I ended up leaving a bit earlier than I expected.

Okay I don’t like sharing a room

EXCELLENT AND CLEAN!

..

Very comfortable stay. Bunk beds were all full-sized mattresses in the room I stayed in, which was a bonus I had never seen. The bathroom was clean. Lockers were available for use but I did not see any locks, just so you know - maybe bring your own padlock if you want to use one. The location was convenient for me. Staff were friendly and allowed me to check in later in the evening with no issues. I would absolutely stay here again.

The location

Peaceful atmosphere, vibe, ambiance. Liked the decor. Needs some cleaning and upgrading in upstairs bathroom. Also maintenance like broken curtain rods. Need some maintenance work done.

Takes about half an hour to 40 minutes to walk to CBD (downtown). Only issue is there's just two bathrooms for whole hostel and the shower and toilet in the same. Also not a fan of getting sent codes for doors would prefer a key or card.

Great place to stay. Very clean.

Property if your information shared that that you lived in the city of Houston. This property is in 3rd ward!!!! Look it up!!! I am from Houston. It is considered 3rd Ward!!! They are not transparent.

This is an amazing place to stay.

Clean, welcoming, good vibes, pkeanty of information, nice kitchen with complementary coffee, clever decorations, safe, outside patio is nice. For the money paid, it is a really cool place. Thank you for your hospitality!

The staff was very unprofessional we could not get into hotel once we walked outside of the building, couldn’t get anyone to help her to sleep in my car

Ok

NA

Wanderatay is well located for walking to the museums and there are a few decent local food and drink places but it is also very close to the freeway and has no A/C, which can make for a difficult night's sleep. Noting that free earbuds are provided.

Upstairs come with free coffee and tea, also a refrig and microwave. Love it

2. When I stayed, the room was too cold on the first night and too hot on the second night. You are not allowed to change the setting. Good luck! 3. It is clean and cheap. Hope you get good roommates!

It was nice, clean, full kitchen, I'll stay again.

Everyone there was super cool and the woman’s dorm was really comfortable. Super helpful to have 2 showers in there!

I booked a private room with one twin bed and really enjoyed my stay. Great amenities, clean facilities, comfortable. Price was very affordable.

늦은 체크인 이었지만 매우 편안한 체크인 프로세스.

The hostel in at central area ,convenient for food and some activities. However, there are only 2 bathrooms for the entire hostel, toilet paper was not provided enough for a day. There are cameras everywhere, so feel like being always watched.

Great place! Highly recommended.

The area is fine with some really nice places nearby to eat. Hostel is what you expect. Customer service is exceptionally poor, issues have been raised to management so will not post here, I am sure they will eventually bother respond to my email (highly unlikely though)

Excellent place. Super duper clean, large beds, in a very uber able/walk able area. I really enjoyed my stay here. It was very cozy and quaint and the price per night was a steal!

The hostel experience here far outweighed my other hostel experiences! No in-person contact, FULL size beds, great kitchen!

I was disappointed that my room had no furniture, the curtain let all the light from the streetlights in, next to the freeway with no sound proofing. Got up in the night to use the bathroom and the side door was propped open. Did not feel safe in that area. Wouldn't recommend ths place to anyone. Bed was not comfortable and small. Common areas furniture was really dirty, no where to get a drink of water other then the bathroom.

If you read and follow directions given you should have no problems checking in. Staff service was great and overall clean property.

I am very unhappy they did not allow me to check in after hours. They had a sign saying to call a number to check in no one answered. I had to drive back home in the middle of the night because I could not stay they did not even open the door.

Great price and friendly staff, and there’s a cafe around for quick breakfast. just remember to bring your own toiletries (shampoo etc)

Alejandra, the front desk host at the time of my stay was super helpful. I am from California so she made my stay very helpful by providing tons of information like nearby transportation, nearby restaurant's, and banks. I truly appreciated the time and patience she provided for me. If I were to travel back to Texas, I would definitely come back to the Wanderstay. Thank you.

It was a nice stay that served my needs well!

Cleanliness is the number one thing I look for and they passed the test. Check-in and check-out was smooth with no problems. I was able to park my rental on the property for a great daily price. The location was perfect for the sightseer like me. This was my first time in Houston, so I was concern with that. However, it all worked out perfect. Whenever I am in Houston again, I will stay here.

Just would love a refund. It was overall a struggle.

car was broken into window busted along with 2 cars parked behind me who were also guests here.....and previous stay here my car was parked in front of Wanderstay and the petty parking police ticketed me for being parked RIGHT IN FRONT supposedly too close to stop sign at the corner...

Good room and house. Easy access to public transit. Only complaint is room only has one outlet at the opposite end of room from where the bed is. Ended up buying an extension cord so phone could be plugged in and used as alarm clock.

It was a great stay, would book again for the future. We mainly go to Houston for an Astros game, and this place was about 10 minutes from the stadium and many restraints. We felt safe because of the locks around the house, also it was very clean.

No complaints. I enjoyed my stay here, very cozy and homey and they had great communication with me before my arrival. Also very clean and loved the kitchen access

Great stay. The self check in process was easy and seamless and the hostel was very clean and they had full sized beds .Great value.

Hostel was very clean would definitely stay again. walking distance to the turkeyleg hut and bar 5015. If you looking for vegan options grapeseed and vegan soufood are options that are close by.. Public transportation is also walking distance from the hostel.

Ultimately, I couldn’t stay here. Multiple attempts to reach someone about the gated parking were ignored. Because I’m in a rental car that I am responsible for any damages it may incur, I had to find a hotel. Needless to say, the service is non-existent, the neighborhood is sketchy and the business model has some real liability issues.

I can’t think of their names but the two ladies were awesome. Even after a hiccup on my part, things still were dang great. Everything about this hostel was amazing, and I love the extra security. You need a code for the gate, the door and your room. Some people may find that annoying or whatever, not this guy. I honestly couldn’t think of anything subpar. And oh before I forget, they have these boards with food ideals and daily calendar events. Will stay again.

will stay again.

property meets all my needs and more. The staff are very friendly and very accommodating.

Enjoyed my stay. Nice and friendly staff.

Unique cool hostel! I was lucky to be there when the owner was there and she was AMAZING. I love this place- it's so cute and different. I paid a very good price for a private room and they have a full sized kitchen. I will come back for sure.

Enjoyed my stay here. It was only for 1 night originally, but I ended up staying 3 nights because it was so cozy. My room (Wanderstay) had very large beds, windows, a ceiling fan and was right next to kitchen and bathroom. The property was super clean and the lady at the front was super kind and warm. Neighborhood is pretty quiet and safe.

Needed a last minute place to stay and I am happy I found Wanderstay. Its such a cool place. The price was very affordable and the beds were huge! I was happy to support a small locally owned business. I felt very safe as a solo woman stay there.

Great place to stay. Cleanest hostel I've been to. Very Comfortable pillows and bed and very kind staff. It is located in the middle of downtown and midtown so it made calling a uber very easy. Will stay here again.

The hostel is fine, the rooms clean and the personal pleasant, but the place is poorly equipped in maps: good maps of the city, the train or the bus, and the personal is absolutely of no help in that register. The answer is always: "I don't know. I can not help you with this". Friendly but unhelpful. This is the worst situation I have encountered in an hostel or hotel for that matter. Usually the personal is well informed, has maps available, can advise you on what to see. The most I got is for them to tell me the direction of the museum district, and that was a huge feat. They couldn't even put Chartres St (the street of the hostel) on a map. Don't be also deluded by their free breakfast. It is just a box of pancake mix and a box of oatmeal, and do it yourself. A city to go with good maps on your phone. I had none. Once you have seen the museum district, there is no reason to repeat a stay in that place.

I wasn’t even able to get my room. They told me my CVV number didn’t match on my reservation. I made my reservation through Hotels.com.I called and gave my info over the phone. They said it didn’t match(this is day of my reservation) and had to cancel my room. I had to scramble to find another room, day of and more expensive. My card was just fine through the next place I booked. I was excited about the hostel and I prefer those. This time didn’t work and that is unfortunate. I may not try again.

Very economic and sweet spot which is close to both my work and future apartment! They did a great job receiving me into a new city!

This was a wonderful stay!! I plan to come back again!’

Great stay. Friendly staff. Big beds. Small breakfast provided. Waffles tea pancakes. Good security system with plenty of locks and different codes. Bathrooms very clean.

The check in was smooth and I appreciate the breakfast options through ways to make food. Great option and hugely economical for anyone visiting Houston!

Good, clean , comfortable at a good price.

It was a good stay. The building is clean and there is a kitchen available for use by any guest. The only issue I had was that there was no outlets available for the top bunk to charge their phone. It could be an issue for people using their phone for their alarm.

Good staff. Comfortable bed. Convenient location. Nice breakfast

I mostly like the privacy and peacefulness of the facility!
