I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Morty Rich Hostel! The staff were friendly, the hostel is in the lively and walkable Montrose section of Houston, and also has wonderful amenities like a pool table, a pool, a gazebo, an outdoor lounge and swimming pool.

Would prefer to make up own bed entirely which should lower the cost....

Be sure to provide yourself with an eye mask if you are looking to sleep in AND be sure you say something about the a/c---lower the better!!!! (Get help if you are uncomfortable) +++++ be sure the ceiling fan works in the rooms with THESE Only!!!!!!!!

An amazing hostel in general. Definitely one of my top so far. Houston is a little difficult in the winter, cause there's terrible public transit options-- but the bike share would make the summer easy, and Lyft/Uber are options for the winter. The beds were a little hard to sleep on, but it was very clean and well-maintained. The staff were great!!!
