Perfect itself. niice place it was

the place was perfect. but they should take care of 'bad' customer. I could even see blood on towel in the toilet. I know it is not the fault of the hostel but some bad visitors.

Breakfast was delicious. The selection of fruit juices was exceptional!! The creme cheese for the bagels was both a delicious and filling treat. The breakfast cereal was a great start to the day!!

The water pressure was slightly slow, but the water was warm and satisfying... Everything else was absolutely perfect. A great stay at a great hostel... The temperature was good--not too cool and not too warm...

Good people--most seemed to be involved in their own agendas. No complaints at all, Great stay!!

Breakfast was great, as usual... Milk was always on hand..... Great bagels!! A great start to the day!! The juice was a good choice for vitamin nutrition... The fridge was well-stocked and very clean...

Everything was totally great, but on this occasion, the fellow roomates were especially quiet and the travel "Vibe" just wasn`t there... However, my bunkmates were clean, reliable and courteous. Just what I needed after a long trip from Europe...

Bang for the buck! Loved my time here.

Bang for the buck! The affordable price, Breakfast among other things, comfy bed etc are great. I love this place. Would definitely stay here next time as well.

1. Alternative day or once after 2 days maintenance in afternoon/evening would be good like room/bed cleaning if possible. 2.If not then bathroom cleaning would definitely help Although collective effort but not everyone is like that is not totally hostels fault. 3.Wood flooring and other things like bathroom curtains, tub etc are slightly old might want to change things/renovate really old things creeks alot. 4. Little bit of sanitization on cleaning is required here and there. 5. On time replacing things in breakfast helps and little more options other than bagel/cereal or add 1 more option will help. If above things were taken care. I would have negotiated with owner/manager to stay here for a year or more may be for the private room. It pretty much has everything. 🤷🏻❤️

Reasonable and rather affordable option for spending the night when stopping in Columbus on your way

The check-in and check-out process was all online and went surprisingly smoothly (my first time using this method). The hot-tub outside was a nice and relaxing surprise for me (sorry for the spoiler:). I even think I forgot my swimsuit there... My personal stay (one night) was with easy-going guests that were nice and quiet.

Smoking all around outside the house causes 2nd and 3rd hand smoking for the health-oriented guest and is also a fire hazard. The roof of the top-most attic-like floor is so low that it prevents a safe access to it. Distanced 6.6 km away from the central transportation authority station building (greyhound bus lines).

Poor

breakfast was ok.

other guest were very disrespectful (people did not wash their dishes, or clean the bathroom, and I got at least two disrespectful comments from other guest). about the room: ceiling and beds not comfortable. the room is an atic where you do not fit in standing.

Great for an Overnight stay

The Wayfaring Buckeye Hostel was nice. It was comfortable and a wonderful place to stay overnight before continuing my cross-country trip. The hostel had a washer and dryer that I used as I was nearly out of clean clothes. Thank you for that. The kitchen was excellent and fully equipped. Breakfast was a good addition as well as the much needed coffee.

There was a mix up on beds and I did not receive the message until the morning (it was answered and sent the night before, but I did not get it). It all worked out even though the first guest took my assigned bed....then there was the really late guest coming in and arguing with the first guest about bed assignments....the really late guest came in real loud, tripping over things, flipping all the lights on, playing music, watching programs on his computer without headphones.....I know that this is not the fault of the hostel. Maybe having something posted about quiet hours...I know that is no guarantee because some people have a lack of respect and think only of themselves.
