I was late for check-in and arrived after the front desk had closed. They had left instructions on how to access the hostel and my room in an envelope with my name on it. No need for awkward phone calls at midnight!

Very good 8.0
If you're looking for a quaint stay from the hubub of downtown Columbus, then The Wayfaring Buckeye Hostel in Old North Columbus is for you. Clean and cozy private bedrooms rooms are available. Free coffee, cereal, juice, and bagels during breakfast hours are an added bonus. Downtown is a quick bus ride from Summit Street, and the walk to High Street's many food and entertainment options is a 15 or so minute walk.
