Deep Ellum Hostel

Absolutely loved this place! My mom and I stayed here when I came to Dallas to have surgery and it's so close to the hospital. The front desk was super friendly and accommodating. The rooms were so clean and the design was really fun and new. Definitely better than some of the hotels we've stayed in over the years. I loved the community kitchen on the first floor and the surrounding area was amazing. It felt like there were restaurants every 10 feet. You can totally feel the rich history and culture seeping out of every building. 10/10 would highly recommend!

One of the best places I’ve ever stayed on a trip! Everyone was so friendly and the both rooms I stayed in were so clean! Staff was so helpful and accommodating and available 24/7! My partner and I stayed in a single room the first night and a dorm room the second night and I highly recommend both! The single room was so luxurious and if you are traveling with friends it’s spacious enough for four people! The dorm rooms were clean and safe and an excellent option for those of you trying to save money! I will definitely be going back!

This was my first time ever staying at a hostel and I was rather skeptical, but after just a few hours being here, my mind was put at ease. All staff I interacted with from check-in to check-out was very personable and friendly, the linens given were clean and fresh, the room was nice looking and taken care of, the shared bathroom was in good condition, and I made a new friend in the process of staying here who I went and got some food and drinks with. It's also very conveniently placed near several bars and food joints. Will definitely stay here again someday when I'm back in Dallas.

This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. It has a huge seating area downstairs that is really nice. It has a clean kitchen and the best bathrooms of any hostel I have been in. I was worried after reading some reviews about the area. It's actually really nice, with loads of eateries, nice restaurants, cafes, ice cream shops, vintage shops. I'm a single woman travelling alone and felt completely safe. It is about half hour walk from the main area of the city, so if the hostel put up directions of how to get to union station/ bus stations on their notice board, that would be really helpful.

Wow, I love this place! As soon as you walk in, the ambiance and atmosphere is welcoming, but cool and modern at the same time. I love that the bar is right there and the door to the bar is made out of suitcases! The rooms are decorated well and are clean, and unlike many other hostels I've been to, I felt very comfortable the whole time. The staff is warm and welcoming, and this place is such a great place to meet friends! I can't wait to come back!

Excellent location. Just steps away from from restaurants and night life. The hostel is clean and very well run. Great vibes and right next door to a late night pizza spot and hostel bar. The rooms are equipped with AC and a master fan. There is a little light and personal fan in your bunk as well. Storage option under your bed to lock your luggage and valuables (bring your own lock). The nightlife makes it loud outside, but I slept though the night no problem. Highly recommend and would stay there again.

We booked a private room with a bathroom. Upon checking into the hostel we walked around to get some food and realized how rough of a neighborhood we were in. We then made it back to the hostel to settle in for the night and there was no functioning lock on our room door. We went down and told the front desk attendant and she sent up a guy (not really sure this guy's role.) He came up and played with it for about 15 seconds and basically said there was nothing he could do and asked "is it really a problem for you guys? The lock probably hasn't worked in about 3 years." I was kind of dumbfounded honestly, we immediately checked out and requested a refund. While we were downstairs checking out, the guy who had come up to "look at the door" was down in the common area just kind of being loud and whatnot with guests.. I highly recommend people not book this place. The price for a private room (even if things were functional) is not even close to worth the terrible neighborhood and experience. Then, on top of that, the staff is incredibly incapable and seems rather unprofessional. You can find a cheaper, safer, and higher quality stay at tons of other places in the city. I wish I could leave a zero star review.

This hostel was okay. Cool vibes and friendly staff, but probably one of the dirtier places I’ve stayed. The walls of my bunk had a layer of dust and pretty much every fixture in all the common areas as well. There was soap scum all over on the glass walls in the showers, and surfaces needed wiped down badly. Overall the whole place needs a thorough deep cleaning. I’d consider coming back if they actually kept up with it.
