The Wayfaring Buckeye Hostel

"It's nice cozy property. I stayed for 3 nights in shared dormitory (with 4 others). Whatever is shown about the property in the Google images are absolutely true. I reckon private rooms might be great! Kitchen is good."

"Thus was my first ever experience with a hostel and I have say it was spectacular. I can't speak highly enough about the guest, staff, amenities and experience. This was an experience I will remember in a great light and spread.by any means necessary. Robbie goes out of his way to make any accommodation and is quite genuine in every effort as well as kind hearted and warm welcoming. Please enjoy this wonderful treasure of Columbus and hope your experience/memories will be as wonderful as my own. Best wishes and safe travels hostellers."

"GREAT LOCATION! If you stay close and head in the right direction! AMAZING FOOD nearby walking or under ten minute drive away. Interesting people- repeat guests! Clean rooms, highly responsive owner/host. Very BYO, regular size bath towels were provided but no other toiletries and most of the linens were WHITE (ladies if you wear makeup or have colored hair bring your own towels!). Lots of space to chill- didn't get to use the hot tub but if I had stayed longer I may have. Three full bathrooms and laundry services available. Fully functional stocked kitchens. Would 100% stay again!"

"First experience staying at a hostel and it was great!. I booked a private room "Owner's Suite", very clean, spacious, towels provided, and TV with streaming services. Two bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The common areas are well furnished as well. I loved the self-serve breakfast, reasonable varieties, clean utensils. Lastly, you have a place to park your car and multiple coffee shops and restaurants that you can walk to and enjoy! Definitely recommend if you are visiting Columbus and want a reasonably priced place to stay, on average you will be saving $50-100 a night if compared to average hotel pricing in the area."

"Would recommend this place for anyone on a tight budget. You definitely get a lot of value for the price you pay for. They offer free bike rentals and breakfast, and there is a hot tub in the back. The place is mostly clean, but definitely shows a lot of wear and tear. I've seen many dead bugs in the bathroom though. The house is within walking distance from a bus stop, but it can be quite scary walking back to the hostel at night. The road is dark and uneven with stray cats wondering around. The biggest issue I had was with the loft room. I am only 5'11", but already have to crouch pretty much the entire time. There is also an AC unit that's stupidly loud, and it feels like there is a thunderstorm going on every night I sleep there. I left the house at 8am everyday and returned at 12am. It was easy for me to secure a bathroom for showers at those times, but I don't know how easy it will be outside of that. There are 3 bathrooms, and the one downstairs ran out of hot water really quickly. Overall, if you can bear with loud noises and are on a tight budget, I would recommend this place. Remember to bring your own soap!"
