Harris County Hotels with Balcony

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a youth hostel that truly stood out for its exceptional qualities. Nestled in a residential area, its location was incredibly convenient, offering a tranquil retreat just a bike ride away from the city center—less than 10 minutes to be exact. This made for peaceful nights, ensuring a restful sleep in a safe environment. The hostel is run by a delightful couple whose hospitality knew no bounds. They were not only eager to assist with any issues that arose but also went above and beyond by providing bicycles. This thoughtful touch significantly enhanced my mobility around Houston, allowing me to reach various destinations swiftly. What set this hostel apart was the attention to detail and the array of complimentary amenities, including cookies, milk, cereal, coffee, and tea. The cleanliness and smart technology throughout the house contributed to a seamless stay, making it the best hostel experience I've ever had. The bathroom towels folded into swan shapes were a testament to the owners' dedication to detail, adding a touch of elegance and care. The warmth of the place was akin to being at home, with the owners always ready for a chat, eager to answer questions, and share their stories and experiences. A highlight for me was the world map on the living room wall, where guests could pin their home countries—a fun and interactive way to connect with fellow travelers. In summary, this hostel was more than just a place to stay; it felt like a home, or perhaps more accurately, a homestay. It's undoubtedly the best hostel I've ever stayed in globally, blending the comfort of a home with the adventurous spirit of a hostel.

Suitable for business travel

A very satisfying stay. The hotel is in a good location, with a long corridor that can shelter from the wind and rain, and it is directly connected to the shopping center opposite, which is very convenient for eating and shopping.

Nice hotel! The bed was comfy, the room was nice and a good size, and the staff were friendly. Only docked a star because the pool hours were weird and we waited for over 15 minutes for a luggage rack for checkout and when they didn’t show we just carried it down ourselves.

Breakfast was great. The room was clean and the facilities felt safe. I waited 30+ minutes to be checked in because no one was on the premises to do so and no one was answering the phone or text. I confirmed my reservation with the B and B several days in advance via phone and received no instructions regarding check-in. I found out later that I should have received an email/text with check-in instructions, but never did. Make sure you do. The room had a bed, a desk table and chair. No thermostat. There was a ceiling fan with a remote that didn't work, so no way to adjust temperature or turn the light off after you were in bed. I was just there one night and it got the job done, but won't return.

The hotel is a bit biased, the surrounding security is good, parking is still convenient, close to the outer ring highway of Houston, go to the NASA museum to test the self-driving less than 1 hour, relatively close to the airport. above

Stay 3 nights , room was only cleaned once. Everyday we had to go request towels. Housekeeping does not come around regularly. Location is not so good. No good food spots are good attractions around.

I really liked the location; it's near Rice University, so you can easily take a stroll around the campus. There's also valet parking downstairs, which is convenient. My only complaint is that I was charged on my credit card even though I'd already paid through Trip.com, and I only got a refund after negotiating with Trip.com. The picture is of Rice University.

Angela, the front desk lady, could not be more AMAZING! She’s personable and goes above and beyond!! Excellent location for events at the NRG Stadium!!
