We were passing through Indy on the way to visit family in Chicago and decided to make a night of it. We like supporting small locally owned businesses and have stayed at various hostels so this seemed like the perfect fit. We booked the en suite double (double bed, private bathroom in the room). We arrived at 3PM on Friday... More

Very Cheap Nice Laid Back Hippie-esque Decor I was a little creeped out at night (hearing others moving around-coughing), but all was well. The bathrooms were a tad dirty.

I didn't actually stay at the hostel this trip because they mistakenly cancelled my reservation (even though I had confirmed it the day before). I was called at 4:30 on the day I was supposed to check in and told I didn't have a room, which I had reserved months prior, because one of the staff had deleted my reservation.... More

When planning our trip to Indianapolis, we booked a room at the Indy Hostel and confirmed our check in time at 7am on their website. After a mix up of our bus schedules, we arrived there at approximately 4:30am. After sitting outside of the completely locked hostel for about 10 minutes, we were finally let in and greeted by unfriendly... More

On the website, it promises 24 hour check in. We made reservations and our ETA was 7am, which we confirmed on the website. We attempted to call the owner 13 times between the hours of 8pm and 10pm and he did not answer even after advertising 24 hour reception. There was a mix up on our bus schedule and we... More

It was my first time in Indianapolis, flying in from Europe. I was at the hostel for a concert downtown. The manager of the band (Haste The Day, had to say their name) made a package deal with the hostel, which helped me to get an affordable stay for 3 nights. Even though the regular prices are really fair, anyway.... More

I needed a place for a couple of days while I attended a concert in Indianapolis. The location was especially good for me and also near the bus lines if I needed them. They also will pick you up at the airport for less than a taxi. The staff were ever so pleasant and helpful, even gave me a ride... More

This is a great hostel. Hubby and I are traveling around the States - trying to do things on the super cheap. We were delighted to discover that we could camp on the grounds of the hostel. Considering it was 1/2 the price of 2 beds and we had our own tent and camping gear already with us this was... More

We needed a place to sleep and didn't want to spend a lot since we weren't going to be in the room very long at all. I found this hostel and booked it online. I will start by saying I had not experienced a hostel before, so my review is done from that perspective. I was very discouraged when driving... More
