MyCrib Houston Hostel

Hostel in a apartment with excellent facilities, but may be a little bit far away from public transports. Quiet neighborhood, and the bed was big and comfortable.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a youth hostel that truly stood out for its exceptional qualities. Nestled in a residential area, its location was incredibly convenient, offering a tranquil retreat just a bike ride away from the city center—less than 10 minutes to be exact. This made for peaceful nights, ensuring a restful sleep in a safe environment. The hostel is run by a delightful couple whose hospitality knew no bounds. They were not only eager to assist with any issues that arose but also went above and beyond by providing bicycles. This thoughtful touch significantly enhanced my mobility around Houston, allowing me to reach various destinations swiftly. What set this hostel apart was the attention to detail and the array of complimentary amenities, including cookies, milk, cereal, coffee, and tea. The cleanliness and smart technology throughout the house contributed to a seamless stay, making it the best hostel experience I've ever had. The bathroom towels folded into swan shapes were a testament to the owners' dedication to detail, adding a touch of elegance and care. The warmth of the place was akin to being at home, with the owners always ready for a chat, eager to answer questions, and share their stories and experiences. A highlight for me was the world map on the living room wall, where guests could pin their home countries—a fun and interactive way to connect with fellow travelers. In summary, this hostel was more than just a place to stay; it felt like a home, or perhaps more accurately, a homestay. It's undoubtedly the best hostel I've ever stayed in globally, blending the comfort of a home with the adventurous spirit of a hostel.

5 Star Hostel in Mid-Town Houston MyCrib is a very clean modern hostel conveniently located in Midtown Houston. The amenities were top-notch and similar to what might find at much higher price elsewhere. The kitchen, with a variety of food items for a DIY breakfast was spotless as were the bath and sleeping areas. One could not ask for more gracious and kind hosts as Cathy and Harold. There is also a very comfortable and cozy living area. Staying at a hostel is a great way to meet fellow travelers and I enjoyed talking with them at breakfast on Saturday morning. I am hopeful I will have the opportunity to stay at MyCrib Houston Hostel in the near future.

This is a 3-4 bedroom lovely, modern home with 2-3 sets of bunk beds in the bedrooms. Lockers were appreciated, but the personal space between bunks to use the locker, or pack, or get dressed was inconvenient/uncomfortable. As usual, at peak times there was a wait for the bathroom. 3 full baths for potentially 18 people.

The host was quite intrusive and questioned me constantly about my work which I did not care to discuss. The host also sent nasty and threatening messages when all my dialogue was kind and polite and I raised my concerns.
