“I love the way the landlord let us free. You can do whatever you want to but need to keep it in order. The hostel is near to popular points of the city but needs to walk a bit. Everything is clean which is the most imports thing”

Company info

However, we understand that people don’t choose to stay in hostels just because they are inexpensive. Hostel travelers know that good hostels are places where they will get to meet other travelers and have a memorable social experience. This is our focus at the Wayfaring Buckeye. We love to organize regular outings to area bars and restaurants and you might even see us out with our nine-person “Surrey” style bicycle in the warmer weather. It’s also not uncommon for guests to get together and organize an impromptu potluck feast. We love having movie nights in our theater room and we welcome you to enjoy our cable channels and streaming movies/TV as well. Finally, our large front porch and our spacious common rooms often end up being a gathering place for guests looking to converse.
