If you’re a backpacker looking for an affordable, comfortable place to stay, this hostel is ideal. It’s cheap, but you don’t have to sacrifice cleanliness — it’s owned by a lovely Filipino couple who really take pride in keeping the place spotless.
The hosts are super easy to talk to and always ready to help out. They’re so generous and make you feel right at home. I’ve stayed for a night last week and I’m definitely coming back today for the 4th of July! Highly recommended for anyone who wants a budget-friendly, welcoming place to stay.

Cathy and Husband are very friendly and efficient. Bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room very clean and orderly. Love the rainfall shower and big hotel towels. Internet was great. Big refrigerator and it was very clean. The comforter and the unique wash clothes were very nice. Location is excellent. Big combo locker and very nice power strip with great lamp. Very much like home away from home. Great job guys.

Apr 26, 2025
While area is lovely and the home is very nicely decorated and appointed, I found it difficult to move about the space freely with all the door and locker codes, contant removing of outdoor shoes and the owners constantly in both common areas (living rm and kitchen) made me feel uncomfortable. There are too many bunks in the female dorm; not enough space for luggage and the room gets very hot at night. No alcohol permitted on premises and the coffee is undrinkable. There were issues with the hot water as well. Good for a short stay only.

5 Star Hostel in Mid-Town Houston
MyCrib is a very clean modern hostel conveniently located in Midtown Houston. The amenities were top-notch and similar to what might find at much higher price elsewhere. The kitchen, with a variety of food items for a DIY breakfast was spotless as were the bath and sleeping areas. One could not ask for more gracious and kind hosts as Cathy and Harold. There is also a very comfortable and cozy living area. Staying at a hostel is a great way to meet fellow travelers and I enjoyed talking with them at breakfast on Saturday morning. I am hopeful I will have the opportunity to stay at MyCrib Houston Hostel in the near future.

This is a 3-4 bedroom lovely, modern home with 2-3 sets of bunk beds in the bedrooms. Lockers were appreciated, but the personal space between bunks to use the locker, or pack, or get dressed was inconvenient/uncomfortable. As usual, at peak times there was a wait for the bathroom. 3 full baths for potentially 18 people.

This place is really a gem. I stay here when I’m in HTX for work. Great value for the price. And it’s become a treat to get to visit with all the other travelers staying from all over the world. Obviously hostels are not everyone’s cup of tea, but this is the nicest, cleanest, and most well kept one I’ve ever come across. The owners are nice people who stay and visit with everyone in the evenings until 7 or so. I really enjoy staying here.

The host was quite intrusive and questioned me constantly about my work which I did not care to discuss. The host also sent nasty and threatening messages when all my dialogue was kind and polite and I raised my concerns.
