Some bathrooms were little dirty . When people poop it stink.

The breakfast was okay. The location was nice and easy to get around.

- Wifi was a bit slow for the TV but my own devices ran great. - If you’re particular about public showers, I do advise shower shoes.

- Great location - Comfortable bed - Cool temperature inside room so it was very cozy

Stayed in August 2024

No complaints.

Finally I turn on the TV and they have various channels like Netflix and Hulu. I watched Netflix movie Mea C. With Kelly Rowland it was good I didn't see the ending part I had bad stomach pain. Then I went to bed I slept good last night.

I just felt uncomfortable sharing the washroom but I guess that comes with the cheap price. I lived in private rooms and they were good.

The manager was really kind and overall the hostel was great for the price. I was there for a conference at OSU so it wasn’t walking distance to university but you can definitely cycle there. The cycles are free. There is also a free campus bus that you can catch from very close to the hostel.

No staff on site. No cleaning in the bathroom during my stay (couple of days). Stupid girl in the dorm considering the room as her own.

Nice house where you can possibly feel at home. Quiet neighborhood. Very cheap option for a confortable stay.

They could trim the path a bit. I would request a bottom bunk next time cause I am old, lol.

The hostel had everything I needed. The breakfast was as promised. The hot tub looked clean. The staff was responsive.

Top floor 3 bed area should be avoided if you are taller than 5'8". Be sure to ask!

Generally clean and well maintained. Continental style breakfast was a plus. Lockers, grill, laundry facilities and hot tub were nice conveniences.

Stayed in June 2024

AC ran all night in dorm 3 so was very cold.

Very comfortable common areas, 2 kitchens and a hot tub. Clean bathrooms with plenty of hot water. Close to Ohio State University.

Stayed in June 2024

The pressure in the toilet seemed weak because I had to flush a couple of times to get things down. I also wanted to use the hot tub one day but was too anxious to message anyone.

I liked how clean it was in the room and having Netflix and Prime to watch. Breakfast options were nice if I needed a quick bite and I liked how the rules were laid out. I also would've loved to borrow a bike if I knew sooner but didn't until my last night.

My only complaint if there is one that the hallways are narrow, so traffic can get congested when moving around. This is not a concern as everyone was very nice and we all could accommodate ech other.

This is a quaint little place that is very relaxing to stay at. I could not be happier for the price I paid to stay there. The rooms and lounging areas were clean. There was everything I needed to make a good home cooked meal and prepare my breakfasts. I prefer to make my own, however the continental breakfast is a nice option to have with plenty of options. The host was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and services provided and even found me a prospective job that I could apply for in Ohio. Thank you for the information. Next step GET IN THE HOTUB lol. In summary the Wayfaring Buckeye hostel is a great place to stay whether business or pleasure. I will definitely stay again.

Everyone was nice

The beds were clean.

Cold at night and not many breakfast options, really just some juice in the fridge. Not a big problem or anything though.

Very nice location, easy to get to by bus, easy to walk to nearby places. The contactless entry process worked very well. Room was clean and the place was not overcrowded at all, actually had a room to myself.

Stayed in April 2024

Weird that there was no staff on the premises. I practically had the whole house to myself.

I didn't explore the kitchen thoroughly. I wasn't hungry in the morning, though if I had been I probably would have been satisfied. Bagels and yogurt. No fruit in the house, though.

Stayed in April 2024

The cleanliness of my room upstairs could have been better. There was a lot of dust and garbage left from other tenants, as well as used bedsheets/towels that were never removed.

Breakfast, parking, location.

Stayed in February 2024

Floor creaked extremely loud, and it was miserably hot at night (couldn’t open window/ change thermostat)

The cost was great and I felt very safe in my room. Ample space to store my belongings.

Nothing you can about it, but as a 6 foot tall woman getting into the attic dorm was challenging. Halfway up the stairs, my head touched the ceiling. But I had to duck and climb. But it was on the cleanest places I had been into in a long time.

I love the price! I love the location, nice older neighborhood and the cleanliness and the hospitality of being able to have a little coffee and a little breakfast in the morning. It was so clean! I am 61 and have stayed in hostels before in London and Amsterdam. The only thing that could be improved is having larger lockers. Considering that most hotels start triple the price of hostel and they are not even that clean. (Shudder shudder), this was a great value.

Stayed in March 2024

I had to sleep in the top floor, which has a low ceiling, which was challenging to get in and out of the room.

Great Hostel in the university district of Columbus. Free parking was provided and the university inclusive the football stadium and the basketball arena is not far away. The host was very friendly and the provided breakfast was great.

Stayed in January 2024

Room was a tad chilly

Perfect for campus visitors on a budget

Stayed in November 2023

I had some trouble checking in, my bed was already taken, the new given to me not yet cleaned. All that was taken care of though as soon as the owner new about it.

It was quiet, a lot of common spaces and clean.

I do wish there was a dedicated girl dorm. Make Dorm 3 a girl dorm! 🥰 And that there were more windows open to air out the place. Could be a bit cleaner yes but it’s doable and I’m a germaphobe so anyone wondering you will be ok.

I like that Robbie is quick to respond and flexible with checkin and luggage drop off. I also like that they have juice for breakfast which I didn’t realize so was a great surprise and laundry 🧺! I also like that everyone is either a traveler, student looking for housing or seem to have a purpose and respect for the space. Easy check-in, space to cook and store food in fridge and big bins for dry foods are convenient.

Stayed in August 2023

Honestly, everything was great! I love this place.

Robbie is very friendly and super accommodating.
