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!
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.
Clean and quiet, I chose $10 parking for safe, tho. Don’t remember why but laundry room is locked….
Upstairs come with free coffee and tea, also a refrig and microwave. Love it
A good hostel, easy to get to buy public bus ($1.25 for each different bus, no transfers for some bizarre reason so take as few as possible, such as route 50 from Hobby airport to Eastwood transit then 25 to block away (Peggy Park).
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.
The area seems a little sketchy, but the hostel was great! We had a family feud trivia night that was a lot of fun and bright everyone together :)
Everyone there was super cool and the woman’s dorm was really comfortable.
Super helpful to have 2 showers in there!

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.
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.

Disliked: Amenities
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.
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
