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.

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.

This place is really a gem. I stay here when I’m in HTX for work. Great value for the price. And it’s become a treat to get to visit with all the other travelers staying from all over the world. Obviously hostels are not everyone’s cup of tea, but this is the nicest, cleanest, and most well kept one I’ve ever come across. The owners are nice people who stay and visit with everyone in the evenings until 7 or so. I really enjoy staying here.

Enjoyable home hostel
I enjoyed my stay at the hostel, although they changed my bed and moved my things without authorization.
The couple was friendly, they lent me a bicycle, as it was a bit far to walk to some places.

This was a solo trip to Houston, a beautiful city, for my birthday. While i was on my flight to Houston, i decided to stay at a hostel. I looked at a couple facilities but Mycrib was affordable and appeared to be a safe, clean, place to stay. My stay was comfortable and the hosts were very friendly and cool to hang out with. I would definitely recommend this hostel to any small group or solo travelers.

Highly recommend this place. Cathy the host was great! She communicated clearly. 15 min walk from Greyhound station. Area is quiet and I felt safe. Lock on bedroom door and good size locker for everyone. Property was very clean and people were welcoming. Good transport links close by. If I was staying in Houston again, I would definitely check this place out. Thank you

Hostel in Houston with Herold!
This is the best deal in town!
I was gonna book a hotel in Downtown until I found this little gem in Midtown. With great reviews, I could not resist this deal! From the time I booked it, I was not wrong at all.
I was stuck in SFO and told Herold about my delayed flight and he helped me out with the check in immediately via text. I arrived past midnight and I found it easy to get in.
Of course, they were not there to help me as they live else where but the instructions were clear enough to enter without any receptionists.
THE BEDS & BATH
The property is super new! The locks were rough but the female dorm was clean &the mattress was amazing for a hostel~ The best part is the pretty white bathroom which had such a big sink and many drawers we could use. Not to mention it had such thick Kirkland bathroom rolls, the way I liked it.
The towel was also thick and fluffy like hotel towels. I was impressed.
THE BREAKFAST, DINING & KITCHEN
Breakfast was good for a hostel. We had milk and a wide selection of Stash tea & there's a cute coffee machine as well. As the property is new, we got new cutlery and cups and kitchen appliances too.
I loved hanging out at the kitchen/dining area as there was just so much fun and banter with the guests and the hosts too! Herold even matched me to another guest so we could travel down to the Space Center via Uber together and save money. This center is well worth the trip!
OVERALL A HIDDEN GEM
I will be back. Thank you Herold & Cathy!
