“not bad :)”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013 via mobile

the private room was really nice. the only thing i would recommend would be a door to the bathroom as opposed to a curtain. also, it would be wise for guests to check the door code before heading to broadripple only to return and find that it doesn't work.

“Overall excellent experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

We stayed in the full bath ensuite room. Very nice and clean, kinda like a bed and breakfast, but cheaper and without the breakfast.

Staff was very helpful, made us feel welcome, even woke up in the middle of the night to help out when we were having trouble with the door.

Definitely going back next time in Indy.

“Highly recommended! Great staff, comfortable, convenient”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

So happy we found Indy Hostel. We were in town for a friend's wedding over the New Year's weekend and this spot couldn't have been more convenient. A short bus ride from the heart of Broad Ripple; same for downtown. Price more than fair. The hostel itself is warm, bright and very comfortable; it's clear the staff pays attention to the details and importantly makes everyone feel at home. We enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back if we find ourselves in Indy again!

“good place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

It is a good place to stay over. Nice people, nice community. Although it is a little bit far from downtown, you can find bus services in that area.
I have been there twice, for social event and job interview. The rooms are very clean, and it is quiet. Kevin and John, the staff there, are very nice people, and they will help you as long as they could. In addition, the price is reasonable.
All in all, I love this place, and I would recommend you staying there if you are in town.

I was in town for a social work confrence and need resonable accomiadtions. The Indy Hostel was perfectly priced and extremely convenient to the location of my confrence. I booked the private room with a bathrrom and was very happy. I would stay there again if every in Indy for Business.
Great place to stay and great people to meet.

Room Tip: If your alone and like a more private feel go for the private room, but if you are with friend or do...
