A great place to stay in the heart of Palo Alto

The host and house manager made fabulous food for tenants. The beef stew was delicious. Many stores are nearby so you can use Walgreens and Safeway within walking distance of the house.

They were expecting a cleaner to come, so I'd appreciate the timely cleaning to be done next time.

Overall, a beautiful house to stay in with laid-back hosts and a great value for travlers!

Location was fantastic, and the host was nice and laid-back. I liked the idea of a hostel that could host entrepreneurs and provide for a place to network or get feedback for ideas. The backyard was spacious and beautiful; a great place for activities or just some quiet time alone.

There are no locks used for entering or leaving the house, which surprised me since California has many issues with crime (although Palo Alto was safe when I traveled around, so maybe the locals are not as concerned with locks). Also there were areas that were not so clean (espcially corners in the bathroom) and not enough toilet paper at times in some of the bathrooms. Lastly, there was a misunderstanding with my stay during my last night and my bed was given to another guest, however the host quickly made a new bed for me and it wasn't a big problem.

Superb

Relaxed community, meeting point of diverse backgrounds, laundry facilities, well-equipped kitchen, quiet area close to downtown and the Stanford Uni.

I missed a blender.

Amazing property

Amazing house with an amazing community of people. I was a solo traveler and I met many like-minded ambitious people. I would rather stay here than any hotel just for the networking and setup. Large backyard with plenty of places to sit down and work, comfortable beds, and everything you need to accomplish your goals.

A good place in midtown Palo Alto

Hosts Dan and Vlad are fantastic, thank you, guys. Dan texted me before arrival, while Vlad met me at the property.

It seems like a high season right now - sometimes the house could be quieter.

If you're looking for a professional accomodation try to find somewhere else.

Location is in quite ok in the center of Palo Alto. Friendly guests Vlad and Roman...thanks guys!

Based on the information available on the website of Startup House hostel, it might appear that the establishment is a vibrant special place for both entrepreneurs and start up founders searching for the Silicon Valley funds in Palo Alto. Website says that "Startup House is a community and co-living for entrepreneurs and their teams"...so untrue. The truth is that this is a regular house with a bunch of Russian guys co-living together most of whom do not speak English (???) Unmade beds, unclean bathrooms and what to mention about no cleaning or housekeeping services being provided. Moreover, the hostel's has no official staff or management, leaving guests with zero level of professionalism in the check in. First day I arrived no one was waiting for me. I felt as invading someone (Russian) house. My Booking printed reservation seemed useless. No staff at all. Thanks God a host volunteered to make some calls to find out about my reservation (spasiva Roman!) Is like they do not care about the hospitality business at all. I booked a single room many weeks before my trip. I received an email one week prior to my trip saying single room was not available. I was offered a double with no further explanations beyond a "we've had technical problems". Once I arrived no double room was available and I ended up sharing a quadruple with 3 more people (surprise!). Quite professional isn't it? Of course price was exactly the same with no discount for sleeping with 3 more guys with no further explanation. Forget about the famous and prestigious American customer service. This is Russia my dear tovarisch. In conclusion, based on the information available in the website and whatever the official website might say, I can ensure that this hostel falls far short of its promises. If potential travelers to Palo Alto are looking for a clean, well-managed hostel with professional staff, they may wish to look elsewhere...

Wrong and very cool place! Spirit of the film Silicon Valley. Great community and very nice home. And most importantly, I managed to find important contacts for my startup here.

There are no cons in this house. This is the best work trip ever!

Do not recommend it.

I liked the location as it is in the heart of Palo Alto and next to many amenities.

First, it was not managed at all. There was no introduction, no check in, no briefing of the facilities in the house. Everything is shared with many others. Second, the house was not very clean. Dishes and cooking wares were dirty. Room was disorganized and untidy. Third, noise and inconsideration to others in the house. People party until late (past midnight).
