Deep Ellum Hostel

My experience was vastly different bc Christian (front desk staff) and his buddy (also a front desk staff) decided it was a good idea to admonish me to the point of bullying. At 4am I asked to be moved bc my high roommate wouldn’t let me sleep. The hostel smelled like **** which is hella illegal in TX. If I wanted to I would have been able to call the cops when Christian threatened me to throw me out at 4am. Reason: I said “this is so infuriating I’m feeling stabby” which he took and ran with to make it seem like I was crazy despite the fact I apologized “for my language” and asked again to move me. There are cameras in the hostel so y’all feel free to double check this but Christian pretty much went over the counter to wag his finger at me. Like dude!! I get it your angry I said the wrong thing at 4am but the high roommate gets away scotch free. And then said roommate follows me upstairs as I’m packing to say “I’m glad you’re leaving this room” and then next morning -cherry on top- the other guy at the front desk refuses to help me out when I asked a question about moving around Dallas. His suggestion was “google it” in order to continue the bullying. That is not the hostel way. Someone did tell me private rooms are better. But with the prices of their private rooms why wouldn’t you just chose a hotel with a pool for the same price and less misogynistic staff? Premises are good though. Whomever was cleaning they did good. And the bar I’ll review separately bc the bar staff was great.

Finally able to visit the Deep Ellum district for the first time, looked at many different lodging options for an overnight stay with my lovely wife, the hostel provided a perfect location for walking distance for just about everything. The room was clean, the bed was soft but not too soft and attached was a good sized bathroom with a walk in shower. I liked that you could book an individual bedroom, it did come with bunk beds so it could sleep 4 or for the adventurous individuals you can book a single bunk bed. Many different options for live entertainment, but honestly the party was right next door at Booty’s Street Food, it was sold out and we couldn’t join the fun. If you’re looking for a fun overnight date with your wife or significant other, step out of your comfort zone and give this place a shot!
