Houston is a big city with a hub airport. There is only one other hostel there, so I think has good potential to work.

I was wondering if anyone has gone through the brainstorming process for a hostel in Houston, TX or has given it more serious consideration. Would like to get thoughts.

Yeah and Houston does not have city zoning laws the way other cities do. Real estate prices are definitely cheap for a city its size. One issue is crime as the city does have lots. I was mostly just wondering if anyone else had gone through the thought process more than I. I know the city fairly well from a tourist's perspective, but not from hostel management perspective.

If someone has been planning a hostel there they probably wouldn't post here because they might consider you a competitor. Sounds like a good idea though... :)
If the city has crime, maybe try to locate the hostel in an area that isn't so bad. There must be demand for a hostel in a city that large that has a hub airport...

Houston has a few hostels, but they do not have a hostel feel to them. Just people trying to supplement their income by renting out a room with a shitty bed. Since houston is mostly a family town and not much of a destination town it will make getting customers more dificult, but not impossible.
A location in the Montrose district in one of the older houses would work well. I think, or in the Arts district. You, could get a competitve edge by offering rides from the Airport's. There are alot of things to do in Houston, and im sure with the right set up, you could do well. Feel free to contact me @ [email][email protected][/email] .
