HI Houston The Morty Rich Hostel
About
This home was built about 1917 by Joseph Chappell Hucheson, Jr., the son of a congressman who brought the Ship Channel to Houston, and himself a city attorney, mayor during WWI, and then a federal judge until his death in 1973. For the next 5 years the family of a broker at Lehmann Brothers lived here, then it was a yoga studio and over the past 20 years was remodeled and operated as a bed and breakfast. The swimming pool, the finished carriage house, the enclosed rooms alongside the pool and the upstairs porches were new.

I had a great stay here. The hostel is very clean, and the owner is welcoming and kind. It’s conveniently located near the bus station, with a good grocery store only about a 5-minute walk away. The neighborhood is clean and peaceful, and there are lots of squirrels around, which made the area feel relaxing. The cozy common area makes it easy to meet and chat with other travelers. I’d definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting the area.

Harold was an outstanding host—friendly, responsive, and always willing to help with anything I needed. The location was convenient, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I truly appreciated the hospitality and would happily stay here again. I highly recommend MyCrib to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

Amazing hostel to stay. The location is perfect near DTW and all the bars. The owners are super nice and even gave me some food to try from Las Filipinas. Extremely clean and comfortable. The house is big and the beds super comfortable. If you are staying in Houston this is def a great option.

Staying at MyCrib Houston will be one of your best decisions! Harold and Cathy are so accommodating. I had issues with my flight and arrived after reception hours and they provided clear instructions on how to do the self-check in. Their home is clean, inviting, organized, and they go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcomed and are comfortable. The rooms are also spacious and the bed are very comfortable. They also provide breakfast (cereals, toast & spreads) in the AM and you have access to the kitchen if you want to cook. I will certainly book here again for my next visit to Houston. As someone who was a bit nervous traveling alone, this place made it all better and made me feel safe and comfortable. Thank you!

I had a great time during the week I spent here. Harold was super nice and helpful. The place is clean, and both the rooms and common areas are comfortable. It’s in a good location, since it’s in Midtown and only about a half-hour walk to downtown. I would highly recommend MyCrib to anyone looking for a hostel in Houston.
