Reviews for The Wayfaring Buckeye Hostel
Review 1：Nothing
Review 2：Its cozy, clean, comfy, they have everything you need, it's close enough to everything and Robbie is a cool guy that makes this place even more special.
Review 3：What I didn't was that it's a little tricky to find (although Robert was very helpful), and the very creaky stairs & upstairs hall floors. Earplugs very helpful when going to bed early.
Review 4：Robert was very friendly and provided a warm welcoming experience. I met several guest who were very friendly as well. This was my first hostel experience. I would consider staying there again especially for the price.
Review 5：The host, robby was the best host ever, he knew everything about the region and always was there to help you when help was needed, comfortable beds, a nice common room and fast wifi, near ohio state uni and high street(the mainstreet to grab a bite), but still it was a peaceful location with a lot of nice and friendly people in the neighbourhood, i would rather call it a guesthouse, because the host makes you feel at home even though you're thousand miles away from home
Review 6：My room was in the attic and I thought it wasn't the cleanest, and the bed was a little bit uncomfortable.
Review 7：Robbie was lovely and very helpful, the facility was very nice, breakfast was great!
Review 8：This is barely negative - I had to park around a corner, probably ~1/4 mile away, BUT there was enough space where I could pull up to load/unload my luggage and bike (convenient bike storage offered here!) then drive to find a space.
Review 9：This was my first hostel experience, and this place made it incredible. The facilities were clean and safe, and the host offered so much to us, from HD television to bike rentals to breakfast and he was willing to go out of his way for our comfort. I will definitely be recommending this to anyone I know traveling to the area.
Review 10：I loved how welcoming and friendly this place was! Robbie, the manager, was a generous host and made me feel like I was staying with a friend. Everyone was so friendly and made the stay amazing!
Review 11：Excellent accommodations with the friendliest staff anywhere. Robbie takes care of you like you're family. Only downsides: parking is a little tight and the fitted sheet could use a serious uograde. Otherwise fabulous!
Review 12：See above
Review 13：Availability to wash clothes. Bikes to use. Close to race I was doing. Helpful staff. Now, shower needs a new liner curtain (mold) both stoves desperatly need a good cleaning. Overall place was clean and I would stay again.
Review 14：The bed in the double room where we slept was a bit too soft.
Review 15：We only stayed here one night on our drive through Columbus. It was a comfortable night. The shared bathroom was clean. The breakfast next day was decent. The shared kitchen was efficient and clean. Overall an excellent place to stay.
Review 16：I would like to say Thank's to the personnal, the clients and first of all to Robert. So naturaly gentle, nice and very very helpful. The place are really cute and the atmosphere is just super. I liked it all. Will come back....
Review 17：Make sure you get into the parking lot behind the Inn early on, the street parking can be tricky at times....
Review 18：The check-in process was efficient and welcoming, with details about services and access to the room and the house. Room was comfortable and had everything I needed.
Review 19：I like the location and many facilities there. They do have free bikes that you can ride around. The staff (Robby, if I remember correctly) is very friendly and helpful. Supper place when you want to find a cheap and homely place. Strongly recommend!!!
Review 20：Close enough to OSU and local eateries (15 min walk) to be walkable, but far enough to be inconvenient. Long way from downtown. Small gripes.
Review 21：Wasn't sure what to expect in Columbus, but Rob's little operation is top notch. Very friendly staff, convenient keyless entry. Bathrooms and bedrooms very clean. Beds comfier than the average hostel. Great place to stay in an unexpected gem of a city.
Review 22：Did not appear to have breakfast available. I did not want to make a pot of coffee for myself and leave the rest on the burner to burn the coffee.
Review 23：The availability to park my car, friendliness of staff and other hostellers, great bathroom and availability of computers and TV for my use.
Review 24：Warm atmosphere and cozy environment.
Review 25：The people, Robbie is exceptional. The possibilities: biking, jacuzzi, TV super
Review 26：Robbic is very nice, we can make many new friends
Review 27：EVERYTHING was great
Review 28：Robbie was very accommodating and really cared to make your stay the most comfortable. Everything was clean and well organized.

Review 34：likes living in self-house, comfortable, nice person, eat everything you want :) I will be living again if i go to Ohio <3
Review 35：No breakfast, but was promised
Review 36：Great value and location. Clean
Review 37：No accommodations for folks with disabilities. Many steps, no grab bars in shower. Co-ed room sharing. Since I'm an assault survivor, having a strange male in the upper bunk and 2 more walking thru the room to get to their own was anxiety-provoking.
Review 38：Relatively quiet and uncrowded, esp. for early AM riser. Simple breakfast available at no add'l charge. Parking available in rear, but I only learned of this after arriving. Staff and other guests very willing to help get luggage up steps. Conveniently located near downtown.
Review 39：I wish I had more time to stay at the hostel.
Review 40：I enjoyed the effectiveness and kindness of the staff. Mat and Rob are personable and will do anything to accommodate the guests. I met some great people too!
Review 41：I didn't like the low ceiling in the attic and having to walk through other people's room while they were sleeping.
Review 42：I liked the price and the proximity to the airport and downtown.
Review 43：squeaky doors on bedroom
Review 44：friendly staff fun to meet and interact with other guests
Review 45：loft area was a tad cramped
Review 46：Location, pet dog, cleanliness, features
