“ Very cosy and original. The location is excellent, within walking distance from downtown and in a nice historical neighborhood. The staff is very kind, helpful and talkative. There's a well equipped kitchen. Breakfast is included but you have to be ready to prepare it yourself using the food that is shared by other guests or brought by yourself. Free bananas and water always available. ”

“ This is NOT a true hostel,more like a bunk house, or camp house. The walls are very thin, the space is ok, but sketchy. However,the hosts are really nice and the neighborhood was great for walking about for a day or two. Would NOT recommend this space for solo female or inexperienced travelers. Do NOT expect it to be like a hostel. Little to no interaction with other guests, no common area, sad kitchen space, creepy at night. You will want car access for safety. ”

“ The place is about 15-20 minutes walk from downtown. The room was nice and clean, but got very cold at night (I stayed there in January). I had to share the bathroom, which was no problem. The bathroom was very clean. The owner was very friendly and cooperative. She gave me a map and showed me all the important sights and how to reach them. Very helpfull! All day free bottles of drinking water. The rooms are a bit noisy (wooden structure). ”

They are really nice people and i can't wait to welcome them one day in my own country in french polynesia. It was my first time in a hostel, and i am really really satisfied. Thank you Leah and Danny. ”

“ I got a private dorm. I should say that it does not worth more than $25, instead of $36. The lady there has a rule not to use the kitchen between 12:00 pm-4:00 pm. ”

“ Advice on area and history much appreciated. Perhaps you could look into water pressure when several people use the showers at the same time. ”

“ Denny and Liya are so nice and kind to me, eventhough I went back so late. They have nice smile and very good patience. There are a few Chinese words on the room wall, "peace" and "love". It is really a nice place. ”

“ It was so nice to have met Leah and Danny. The room was great, and they were quite accommodating - which I especially appreciated when I arrived at around three o'clock in the morning (due to a flight that arrived at around two o'clock in the morning). Everything was great, and I definitely look forward to staying at the Friends House again next time I am in Houston. ”
