I had a wonderful stay here at the Wanderstay Houston Hostel. The staff was welcoming and made me feel like family. The decor is absolutely beautiful! My sleep area and bed were very comfortable. I stayed for one week at an unbeatable rate. It really had a great community vibe where people would cook with each other and make new friends. I know If I am ever in the area again I won't hesitate. The only downfall was I had to leave.

I stayed 2 nights in the Galveston Island Room. It was very clean, had its own private bath with shower and a queen size bunk bed. The mattress was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on. The room was comfortably cool with a ceiling fan and a floor fan. It was also very quiet and had room-darkening drapes. With a code entry at the outside gate, the front and side door and the room door, I felt very secure. The check-in procedure went smoothly and the clerk at the front desk was very friendly. The only suggestion I would have for the host is to replace the office chair that goes with the desk. The chair is worn out and uncomfortable. But, all in all, it was an amazing value. I have stayed at Wanderstay before and will certainly stay there again! It's the only hostel I know of that offers both private and group rooms.

A great place to stay, I had the best experience of my life working for 3 months at Wandestay. I met several people from all over the world, the atmosphere was very friendly. I felt at home. I did my best while working, the hostel is very complete and clean and has a great location. The team has always been so wonderful to me. Thank you so much for everything, especially Deidre. Hope to return soon. Much success always ❤️

I enjoyed the unique aesthetic of this hostel. The staff were friendly and accommodating, especially when allowing me to check in a little early. I stayed in the all female dorm. The beds were huge! And very comfortable. For a shared space, the facilities including the bathroom were very clean. Other guests patronizing the hostel were very respectful.

Wow wow wow!!! One of the most unique places I’ve ever stayed!!!! Great decor, lovely themes, the only down side was I’d eventually have to leave :( no seriously though this is the new standard of rooming is America. I can feel their business is geared toward customer experience!!! I’d only wish to see it grown into a chain I can visit outside of Texas but it’s really only a matter of time. Great job

It was definitely clean and very cute. However, the beds were extremely wobbly. I did not get a good night sleep at all. They also put me on the weirdest bed ever. It was on a top bunk right next to the red glowing exit sign, it was bright enough to keep you up all night if your head is right next to it. There were so many open beds but they decided to put me on this one. Also it was very cold, please turn up the heat. Houston was in the 30s and I was freezing all night. Besides the comfort, it is a good price and not too bad of a location.

I recently had the pleasure of staying here, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly and professional staff who made me feel right at home. The location was also a plus, conveniently situated near the Museum District and downtown. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for if you're looking for a nice place to stay in Houston!

It's a good place for a short stay. They provide you all kind of brochures with info of places to visit. You can rent a lock for $6 and put your personal belongings on the locker. The parking is $10 per day. The cleaning staff is very kind. At daytime you can walk around to restaurants, take the bus or train. At night it doesn't feel safe to walk around, there are too many homeless under the bridges so better take an uber for a minimum of $6.

First and foremost, Wanderstay Houston Hostel is awesome. Everything went smooth from reservations to staying in the room. The interior of the hostel is very inviting and welcoming. I stayed in the Rodeo Room and I absolutely enjoyed the privacy. Five star rating. Oh also, I forgot to mention, don’t forget to visit the selfie wall. It’s fabulous!

I really love this hostel much. I can tell that the price is suitable. And everything is so clean. There is someone who clean trash/ garbage everyday that makes me feel comfortable when I was staying here. This was the second time that I booked this hostel. The staffs are so friendly and are ready to explain everything you still question. I love kitchen much where i can borrow something to cook noodle and eat or catch some breads or snacks. I highly recommend this hostel for whoever to visit/travel in houston and look for the place temporarily to live for personal works in Houston, TX.

Very nice Hostel, the staff made it even better. Everyone was respectful and helpful. It’s decently priced for dorms and private rooms, but I only stayed in the dorm. Special shout out to Lisa, Sophia, and Arianna for their assistance. I hope I have those names right. I’d recommend checking it out when in Houston. The location is decent, and easy enough to get to. I only give it 3 stars, because I’m not a fan of big cities and it’s right next to the highway.

My friend and I recently stayed at wanderstay for 3 nights. We stayed in the Galveston Island room which features bunk beds, a small table, lockers and a spacious private bathroom. There was also a ceiling fan and floor fan which helped keep the room cool. We felt safe with all the doors requiring codes and we parked our vehicle in the gated lot for only $10 a night. The room was great value for the money . The common kitchen had free coffee and use of a fridge and other amenities. It was also great to sit and have a coffee and chat with other travellers. The nearby area only a few minutes drive away had some great bars and restaurants. We went to 2 games at minute maid, the one game taking a ride share. Earlier In the day it was only a $9 ride ( around 5pm) . After the game the ride was about $23 back. The front desk was very helpful and provided assistance as required and also provided a hair dryer. I would definitely stay there again as this is a fantastic budget option for events downtown Houston.

This experience was amazing. It was comfortable and welcoming. I felt safe and it was a beautiful hostel for staying in Houston. It is near many great, restaurants, bars, and clubs. There were an abundance of fun activities near by and it’s close to the life of the city. The service was great and I look forward to coming back.

Loved my stay at this hotel. The atmosphere, service, location, price were all perfect. The lobby and rooms are gorgeous, and the unique kitchen setup is super convenient. Everything was clean, high quality, and comfortable. Gorgeous coffee shop and metro station right across the street. The owner Dierde was super friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

One of my favorite places to stay when visiting Houston. The location is very convenient to activities, bars, lounges , gyms and tours. I love how the rooms are themed! Definitely plan to return. Highly recommend

Nice hostel, but unsatisfactory check in process. They will tell you you need to upload your passport information in order to receive check in codes to enter the property (a requirement that is not communicated to you when you make the booking) a mere few hours before your check in time. This might sound reasonable BUT if you are coming from abroad, don't have internet and arrive in front of the hostel without said codes (which, I repeat, are sent way too late)... you risk being locked out of a hostel for which you have made a reservation and paid money. We ended up being very stressed out, locked out of the hostel at 9pm and having to go to another hotel for our first night. Management nowhere to be found. No one answering the phone or WhatsApp. No accountability whatsoever. Conversely, the people working at the reception (once we finally managed to get in the hostel, the following day) were very nice and professional. One tip: please send the check-in codes to your customers earlier, and please notify them via email of this whole procedure on the same day they make a reservation. Not a few hours before their check in time. Thank you!

Impressed. It is clean and cosy and the beds are double. The bathroom is clean and It has real hostel vibes, the first time i have experienced this in the states, (as opposed to a sort of inn/squat feel) all the guests are friendly and chatty and we played games. They gave me the wrong door code, and I had to climb the huge fence to get in as it was late which was really scary and dangerous but the next day I told them to refund me that night and they did. I really recommend staying here just check ur codes before u leave :))

I spent two horrible nights in this place. first of all i never saw anyone at the front desk. the place looks like a prison and if you don't have mobile data you won't know the code to get in. but the worst for me was the room I slept very close to a lighted exit sign. you should also know that the hostel is located 10 meters from a very noisy highway. all of this is camouflaged by a girly vibe of lounge music and positive affirmations. in addition it offers you a gift if you put a good opinion on the sites. it's just a matter of money. with 8 people in an ugly room, they make 400 bucks. I also add that the bathrooms are all broken. In addition : because of my review I have been called by the staff of this place pretending they are Google to make me remove my opinion. They tried to scare me.

Wanderstay is a gem here in Houston. It’s minutes from excellent restaurants, the museums, shopping, and parks. It’s the perfect place to rest, relax, recharge. If you want to immerse yourself in this richly historical area of Houston, this is where you should stay. I highly recommend.

Super comfortable beds, very nice and cozy place. (And soo clean!!) Wanderstay was there for me when I missed my flight and I had a great stay. The prices were reasonable and the staff was super helpful and kind. The neighborhood was quaint and easily accessible to the metro and bus.

Super helpful staff and a freat environment and atmosphere. I've stayed at many hostels and this was by far one of the best ones. Super clean and cute and amazing guests. Also, the beds are Very comfortable! Highly recommended.

After a long day of stumbling across overpriced AirBnB's, I am glad I chose to stay at Wanderstay Hostel. Great location. Accommodating staff. Safe and secure facility. Cozy vibes. Yes, they understood the assignment. This is a highly recommended find. Just book it: trust me.

The place was very clean. I came in late after their check in was already closed but this wasn't a problem because I had filled out the check in form. A towel, blanket and cover are provided. The kitchen they have is quite nice and there are plenty of utensils. They are very quick to respond via Whatsapp which was also great.

Good experience in the small living spaces where there isn't any privacy in the bunkbed dorm rooms. Rooms and bathrooms are cleaned everyday but not deep cleaned. The front desk is accommodating to my request to turn up the heating in the cold nights. Would definitely like to stay here again.

I sstayed at this hostel for a week and absolutely loved it. The location is perfect, with easy access to public transportation and plenty of great restaurants and bars nearby. The hostel itself is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Can't recommend this place enough!

Everything was great and clean. It is pretty quiet for a hostel but once you speak to people they'll speak to you too. I met amazing people and had an amazing experience here. Thank you guys so much for everything!

This hostel exceeded all my expectations. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Houston and close to all the major attractions. The dorm rooms are spacious and clean, and the common areas are great for relaxing and socializing. Would definitely stay here again.

I visited Houston for a weekend trip to take care of some personal business here. I stayed in a 4 bed room. The beds were bigger than anticipated, there were lockers available for storage, curtains on each window to block out the light and a box fan. I did not like that they did not have a ceiling fan but I understand for safety reasons they could not because they have bunk beds in there. There was free street parking and It was at the end of a cul de sac so only local traffic passed by there. The front gate and the front door both had keyless access, meaning you have to know the code to get in and it made me feel safe knowing that was there. The keypads were also installed in each room in the place. This means every time you wanted to enter your room you had to punch in your individual code to gain access to the room. I like this because it keeps people from 'accidentally' going into your room or getting 'locked out' and having to go downstairs to the front desk to get help. Because of the location being at the end of the street off the service road, there was not much foot traffic but i did hear a lot of car traffic nearby. Because I was in and out mostly in the afternoon I did not really interact with the staff. Once I asked the front staff for some more toilet paper because they were out and another time I asked them about the bus schedule. Downstairs was an open layout living and sitting room. Upstairs was the kitchen and that seemed to be busier compared to downstairs. The shower was big as spacious, it was minimal but clean. I only talked to one person in the room I was staying in because of my schedule being on and off going into the room.

This is the best place to stay in Houston hands down. The property itself is beautiful and well maintained, the location is perfect for getting to any part of Houston (i.e. centrally located), and the customer service is what made this place feel even more like home. I can't wait until my next stay!

Look no further if you’re looking for a comfortable, good vibes, convenient and clean place to stay! You can sense the thoughtfulness put into your stay. Definitely stay here!

Pretty could can't complain, the NASA room was clean and tidy, small but I expected that. Was enough for just me and my suitcase. Kitchen facilities also decent and a bit of a quiet hostel vibe. Worth it if you want a cheap room alone

Stayed for one Sunday night. The bunk room (Diverse City) was good, beds larger than expected, good overall. The room is a little small for four people, would be crowded if all four were occupied. Luckily, I was alone in the room. Living room was nicer. There was a lot of helpful information posted about the neighborhood, transit options, dining nearby, etc. Its in a neighborhood in Houston primarily African American. I think its called Midtown. Seems to have a growing number of walkable dining and drinking establishments. Try the coffee shop just up Cleburne Street. The only issue I had was at check in. Arriving well before 9 pm, I expected to be able to check in in person. Instead, when I arrived just after 6 pm, no answer and no gate code. I had received an email earlier in the day which required that I submit the form with my id to check in. But the email was unclearly worded and so I did not understand I was required to do this before even accessing the property. I called, answered within a minute or two, and I was given the codes to gate and front door.

This hotel is top tier, you will not find decor like it anywhere else, extremely clean with impeccable service. It is centrally located to Houston with easy access to a Houston Rockets or Astros game. It was very easy to book and the staff is very responsive. I love wanderstay!!!!!

If you are headed to Houston, this is a must stay location! You can tell the team put in a lot of work towards the decor and comfortability of this hostel. I will definitely be looking here for reservations whenever I’m back in Houston!

Great hostel! The staff, atmosphere, and facilities were great! I only noticed one staff member and she was very nice and welcoming. The facilities met my needs and there was common areas to meet fellow travelers. The location is a bit off the beaten path, but the walk to nearby transit and restaurants is not bad. The value was worth it, I recommend, and I would stay again when in Houston.

First time staying in hostel. Customer service was awesome, It was VERY clean and I love the theme rooms. Being that it was my first hostel experience, I was happy to learn about their safety and security measures when it comes to scheduling guest and ensuring only guest have access to the property.

I had a very pleasant experience at the Wander Stay hostel. Checking in was super simple and easy , I just sent my ID and was sent access codes. I was one of the few guests with a car and I just paid for the gated parking and had no issues. The room and facility was very well taken care of and clean and the beds were huge and so comfortable! For this price you absolutely can not beat staying here. I also loved how hand sanitizer was everywhere and there was enough space outside of the rooms to not be on top of other guests. Will stay again.

Staff was amazing, Alejandra was excellent and was very pleasant. The stay was wonderful. The ladies dorm is nice and accommodating. Only thing was at night it gets really hot in the ladies dorm but fans were provided. Not sure if the air is circulating properly in the ladies dorm but the stay was amazing. I will return..

We really enjoyed our time here. We stayed in the private room with the bathroom and it was nice and comfortable. They have a pretty big backyard so we were able to do yoga in the backyard and enjoy their hammocks. There is also a kitchen upstairs which was very convenient.

Very safe hostel for female solo travelers. The hostel had great communication with us as guests and the experience there was so chill and comfortable. The bus stop is on the corner and there is a really cool coffee shop with crepes behind the hostel. I will stay here again. Totally worth the money.

This was my first time staying at a Hostel and it was definitely a great first time. Check in was very easy and instructions for getting everything started were very concise and easy to follow. Upon entering I was nervous for sure but everyone I met was very nice and and respectful. I personally didn’t cook but there was everything there that I would need to do so! The beds and linens were clean as well as the bathrooms as well! It really felt like home no one was watching your every move or anything like that you could just do your thing as long as you were being respectful to the guests, establishment and, staff. I went to a music festival at NRG park and the location was incredible for that as well! All in all it was clean, welcoming, affordable, and a wonderful experience! I’d recommend this hostel to anyone planning on visiting the area for sure!

The wanderstay was great for my stay! I was very tired after Halloween and had a layover in Houston. It was perfect. I arrived late so I checked in alone. The email instructions for the check in were very easy to follow and I felt safe inside the gates and coded doors. I had trouble getting into my room but other nice people staying there tried to help me into my room. My bunk mate eventually let me in. I think maybe she locked the door by accident. It was very peaceful and a good place to relax. Either workers or other guests made coffee in the morning, which was so great because I didn't have time to go and explore. All the people that worked there were super nice and helpful. Overall it was a great stay for a reasonable price. Edit: The whole hostel was also very clean and I really appreciate the staff for that.

Nice and helpful staffs. Beds are pretty comfortable. Environment pretty clean among hostels. Location is great, walkable distance to most museums in Houston. Just the rooms are sometimes a bit hot during the afternoon.

The staff at WanderStay were very kind and welcoming. They exceeded expectations. The home is near restaurants and is very charming and well kept. Each room is nicely decorated with a travel theme. Our group had a great rest and stay!

We had a staycation at Wanderstay and had an amazing stay. The room was not only beautiful but very clean. The staff was friendly and ready to assist with our needs. We loved how intimate and cozy the experience was. Will definitely book again.

Honestly this was a great experience. It was the first time I was staying in a hostel, and it didn’t feel that different from being in a hotel. The room was nice and it had everything we needed since we were just there to tour the city and for events. It’s safe, near a bus stop that takes you everywhere, and they were very flexible and helpful overall. Totally recommend!

Great Location and just a fun place all around. My daughter -in-law had never stayed at a hostel before and she loved the new experience. I try to stay at them when I am traveling, if possible. Over all the hostel was very clean, affordable and had an awesome décor. We diffidently will be a returning customer next time we are in Houston.

Despite being the only hostel available in Houston, what you see is what you get at Wanderstay. Essential kitchen, clean sheets and towels, a full kitchen and all round clean facilities! Hosts aren’t present, and the check-in process outside of working hours is tricky considering emails are sent for confirmation during flight times. Location is quiet and 20 minutes from the local tram, however a vehicle is needed to explore this frankly quiet and not-so tourist-friendly city.

The place was nice and well kept - outside of my room. I stayed in the Rodeo Room and my only issue was how hot it was. It was April and the thermostat was locked at 83 and my room felt even hotter than that. I could hardly sleep because I was constantly sweating all night. Would be willing to pay more money next time to stay somewhere with an AC. There was no staff present to make a complaint at the time I checked in, which was around 11:00 pm.

(23.-27.06.2022) The best price for value in Houston. The Museum room has large comfortable beds, one table and locker, it is a bit aside, so it is very quiet room. There is a bit of missing at least one chair or stool for sitting. There are two shared bathrooms with toilet, small kitchen and small dining area, all clean. The premises are air conditioned. All the personell is friendly. Please note: Rodeo room and Wanderstay room are located next to the bathroom and kitchen, so they may be a little noisier.

Safe, quiet, clean. Smooth check-in procedure, free parking lots opposite the building, clean rooms and shared bathroom, comfy and large bunk beds. Only piece of advice: the power outlet was behind the mattress and the bed frame so not so easy to reach. Please consider installing also USB outlets as they're universal and also require less wall space than a regular outlet.

Amazing stay! Thank you for having me! They are a safe and secure place to stay. They change their front code lock every Monday. No guests under any circumstance are allowed to enter the property- even though it’s an inconvenience- it ensured my and the other stayers safety. So thank you!! Location was great, only a 10 minute walk from the nearest coffee place and Luigi’s pizza. I didn’t bring a car but I’d feel comfortable leaving it in the parking lot for $10/day. Service was clean and quick- no one harasses you to leave so they can do their job and clean up after your stay (which I’ve gotten in hostels in Europe!). Thank you for having me!!
