Without a doubt the best hostel I've stayed in. All the staff, particularly Diane & Jessie are amazing & have fantastic knowledge of the things to do & see in Houston. The pool is a welcome bonus especially after a long day of site seeing.

Everytime some turned in her/his bed it was very noisy, which woke me up. Besides that, I had a great time.

We loved our stay at the Morty Rich hostel. Only mishap (and it was a small one!) was that I paid extra for a room with only four beds and we got placed in a room with six beds. Thank you!
