Comments: There are no stuff. It looks like a self-service hostell. It is not so bad. The rooms are warm, as well as the water. If you think that the linen is dirty, you can wash it. The washing machine on the left works without money.

Comments: The hostel is basically a single house someone has bought and turned into a hostel! There\'s four bedrooms (filled with bunk beds) and three bathrooms and huge kitchen and cozy livingroom. I really loved the cozy athmosphere at the hostel but it was messy - not really dirty but more like unorganized. The owner, Ivan, on the other hand is really laid back, relaxed, fair guy, i\'d really go to his hostel again!

Comments: A really nice hostel. The manager's very helpful and accomodating. The only thing is that it's a bit too far from downtown Dallas for my liking, but the neighborhood is nice, and it's not too much hassle to take the bus. The beds were divine, big and very comfortable!

Comments: Although I have rated this Hostel rather poorly, I would still recommend it to everyone! When my friend and I arrived, the owner, Ivan, was i Houston, and one of the other guests had to show us the "facilities". EVERYTHING is free, and don't be fooled by the info on the profile...there is NO POOL! I looked for it, it's not there... :) but great fun, cool people, the greatest all-american diner right across the street.Anyway, go there, experience it!

Comments: It is out of town but within 6 blocks to train. Is basically a house with a few extra beds in it, is good if you just want a night or two and spend it quietly.

Comments: Great place to stay. Ivan is very helpful and you have free reign to use all the comforts of home. Like everywhere in the US its more useful to have a car but the TRE station is only a short walk away which will get you most places and to the free airport shuttle. Would definately recommend this place. Thers's a fare chance Ivan will knock up some free popcorn as well!!

Comments: Good little hostel - owner very helpful and friendly,though we only saw him a couple of times. Location is ok - kinda half way between Dallas and Fort Worth, and very close to train station so both cities are easily accessible (though no trains after about 10:30pm, and none on Sundays - but the buses run) Rooms & beds comfortable - there IS air conditioning. Would definitely come back again! :-)
