Just a little out of Dallas but by train easy to reach. The hosts were amazing and offered help whenever they could. They knew all the good places to go to in Dallas and were interested in your day when you cam home ate night. There was a real homey feeling to the hostel.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Could do with a few improvements but it does the job! Worth budgeting in the cost of getting into Dallas when considering the hostel, $7 for a day pass!

This is the absolute best hostel I could ever imagine! I felt like I was at home. Carlos was super resourceful and friendly, and the atmosphere was just perfect. I will recommend all travelers to stay there when passing through!

Had a great time at this hostel. Ivan was happy to help out with everything. Gave us a lift a few times which was nice to see. A little out of town but public transport is easy to navigate.

Chilled out with a relaxed atmosphere. The owner was friendly and helpful. The kitchen was useful and the place was very clean. It is quite a distance f5rom downtown but the train only costs $7 for a day pass and its about a five minute walk from the hostel.

I can\'t understand how a real backpacker in Dallas could complain about this hostel! Carlos and Ivan like what the do and always have the little word to help you. Un big Plus. Quiet, clean, wellfurnished, everything here is free. Basket place in the garden. Less than 30minutes by train to Fort Worth, Dallas and the airport, hard to have a best location!

Even if the backpacker owner is nice, beds wasn't done and the common sanitaries were very dirty. The night rate is ok but I was very disappointed by the place. A wierd guy had to cross our room everytime he had to leave his room which was very annoying!!

Owner Comment (Show)
Appreciate your feedback and compliment. You are right, this is not about us but about you - our guests. We've strived to provide a nice clean safe and secure environment for the backpackers visiting Dallas- Fort Worth for over 7 years. However, You surprised us some by choosing to stick with the other 3 guys in your company and not to go into the girls dorm, liked you had booked .... and yes, there was an English Professor who needed to get to his conference on time and was getting up and leaving around 6am We don't see anything weird with that. Our cleaning lady cleans on Fridays and takes off weekends but if you've mentioned to a staff member you have a particular problem, we'd have gladly call her in or take care of the problem ourselves. Thank you again for your feedback! Ivan Ivanov Mgr Dallas Backpackers

Nice idea: A shared house in a suburb of Texas! My roommates were nice.

when I came in I thought \'what is this?!\' because it looked a little empty but I ended up having a good time and met some fun people here. The place is pretty clean and has good facilities. The location is pretty far from downtown Dallas and Fort Worth.
