I saw a few reviews stating there was no staff, so I was a bit worried but I had no issues at all. The hostel states they are staffed until 9pm, so as long as you come or reach out before then, you'll be good to go. The hostel was cool with 2 sitting rooms, and upstairs kitchen and a few common bathrooms. I had no problems with my stay.

WARNING: Don’t be fooled by fake reviews boosting this hostel’s rating! I’m an experienced backpacker and not demanding at all, but this place is unacceptable: • No staff at check-in, I waited 1 hour outside. • No ID or passport check — huge security risk. • Completely empty when I arrived, I even had to let another guest in myself. Only positives: clean and comfortable beds. But nothing around, you need a car.

I had a terrible experience at Wanderstay Houston. Arrived 9:37 pm, locked out due to confusing remote check-in, no staff, calls went to voicemail. Forced to spend $90 at another hotel. Next morning staff arrived late, making me miss a meeting. Later, got large bug bites from the lobby couch. Facilities are poorly maintained: broken sink, no toilet paper, and dirty common areas. Location and décor were fine, but service was inadequate. I love hostels—but this was frustrating. Avoid Wanderstay.
