The Wayfaring Buckeye Hostel

Beware! This place looks nothing like the photos and the listing on every site where it is advertised is false advertising and misleading. The hot tub in the photos looks very nice and well maintained, however in reality it has maybe a foot of water and is dirty, with the cover broken in half. There is also concerning electric wires on the back of the hostel that are exposed and surely not up to code. I would not recommend staying here. We never actually received the check in email to even enter the hostel at all and there was no one available to get us checked in. The owner claims it was sent, but it was not in my junk email and I looked multiple times. In the interest of time to make it to a concert that evening for which we were in town, we had to book another place at our expense. The property owner claimed the hot tub is "currently down while we wait for a part that's on back order" however as a hot tub owner myself, this hot tub has clearly been out of commission for quite some time and is not being maintained well. It's unfortunate that we couldn't get refunded what we paid to book the hostel, and that people would rather scam a family out of $100 than do the right thing. See the attached photos for the exposed electrical wiring, hot tub that does not match the listing, and the front of the hostel that is nowhere near as well maintained as it appears in the listing photos.

I enjoy meeting the international visitors and the nearby pizza shop. I also enjoy the short distance to the COTA Bus Stops.

Perfect property to stay at when you’re attending something held at the stadium. The ease of checking in whenever we wanted to after 3pm was a life saver. Property is clean and well maintained with friendly staff and wonderful amenities. Definitely recommend and will be staying here again in the future!

Perfect for what I needed

The property is tucked into one of the most charming neighborhoods in Colombus, there are a great deal of things to explore within walking distance.

Price can't be beat Your momma don't live there so you clean up after yourself.
