Good price. Kind of far away from downtown area (45 min bus ride), and a 40 min walk to Broad Ridge. Feels like a home. Some of the bottom bunk is really short, short enough for me to be unable to sit up.

For the budget solo adventurer, this is a great place. Staff is friendly and helpful. Facilities are very clean. Had a great time staying up late chatting with staff and other guests. Located on 49th, it's in walking distance from the Broad Ripple area on 62nd.

Four of us camped during the Indy 500 and overall the hostel wasn't bad. It could do with a good clean. Staff seemed friendly enough but it did seem very unorganized. We asked if they had an outdoor grill and they did but when we arrived it wasn't working. The surrounding neighbourhoods were hit and miss but we felt safe... More

I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel and after a month travelling in the States, probably the best one I have stayed at so far!! It had a great homely feel to it, you didn't feel like you were are a hostel at all. Was only a few people there when I stayed so ended up having a whole... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Hostel. The staff was very nice and the bed was very comfortable! I will stay again on my next visit to Indy! The price was the main draw to the Hostel at first, but the feel is amazing!

Me and my boyfriend stayed in Indy hostel for one night and it was a good stay. Place is in a nice and quiet neighbourhood, very easy to find by car and there was a good parking place also. Staff (Kevin) was very friendly and kind. Atmosphere was good, it felt like home :) I would stay there another time... More

My friend and i stayed here as a stopover between Nashville and Chicago while backpacking around the US. We had hoped to find somewhere a little more central but had read some great reviews of the place and thought we'd try our luck considering it's cheap price. We were delayed getting there as our bus was 2 hours late but... More

Indy Hostel was a great place to stay. Very relaxing and great service. We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night. They had a guitar player in the garden area, wine and a wonderful selection of tourist and travelers. We would highly recoomend the Indy Hostel.
