I had to get another place to stay for my time in Fort Worth. I just got a little too uncomfortable at the hostel, but because of other guests staying at the hostel. It was an interesting experience if you’ve never stayed in a hostel, here are some things I experienced:
People pee in the open area of the shower without the water turned on. I think this occurs because there is one toilet for over ten people. The pee sits and really smells badly especially when it’s collected with dust and hairs. I realize people come with different personalities and being that there were at least eight people in one room, singing in the shower for more than an hour and trumpeting was one I won’t forget. Lots of guests smoke for long periods of time and it fills and lingers in the pods/bunks. I had someone comment that my clothes smelled like smoke at the workshop I was attending. There wasn’t any toilet paper so I went ahead and got some for the restroom, but they also placed a roll when I let them know. Kitchen upon arrival was messy and lots of dirty dishes, but a message was sent out to guests and someone cleaned up. It was just a tad uncomfortable when one of the bunks next to mine had two people doing what sounded like love making. There is WiFi and street parking.
I will say Katie is very responsive and the guests were all kind. To future guests: bring flip flops to wear in the shower. A mattress with sheets, a blanket and pillow with a towel are provided on your bunk when you arrive. There is a closet where you can store your bags. Know people will probably smoke and drink. There is a washer and dryer. There were lots of young guests as well.
