Dallas Irving Backpackers Stop

I&'m not usually one to leave reviews but thought this place deserved a special mention. Carlos was an excellent host and went above and beyond what was expected to make everyone really feel comfortable and had exceptional knowledge of the area and points to do. I really enjoyed my stay in Dallas much much more than I thought I would all due to the fact of this place! Do yourself a favour and stay here :)

Ivan was a outstanding host. Totally helpful, warm and friendly and nice. The home is okay for backpackers, you can use everything inside the house: 2 computers, complete kitchen, tablesoccer, washing and dryer and a cool backyard with Barbeque and basketball basket. If I stay in Dallas/Fort Worth again, I will stay in Irvings Backpacker House by Ivan.

Great atmosphere, we met some wonderful people! Carlos really looks soon after the travelers here and has activities planned out for a whole week! We went to red river saloon which was fab, easily accessible from the train stop and not far from dallas. Bedrooms were wonderful and everything was clean. BEST travellers location to stay in Dallas hands down.

Carlos was great, he was so welcoming and takes you on trips out - eg cinema for $1. 25! All linens and laundry washing are no cost and there is tea and coffee to help yourself to! There is certainly no curfew and there is so much freedom to do as you please as there are no employees actually living inside the hostel - but if you're needing any help you can just give Carlos a call on the hostel telephone :)

Irving is between Fort Worth and Dallas - the TRE (train) goes about every 1-2 hours and takes you there. The hostel is basically a home you use with other travellers. the guy from the hostel, carlos, comes about every day to check i people and helps you to make your plans (if you want) - he likes to take guests to the near by cinema or a cowboy-megastore and you can ask him to pick you up soon after fort worth rodeo (when no trains are working anymore). . for sure you have to pay for that (but it's less expensive than a taxi cab and he tells you before, so you can decide. it was fantastic fun to stay there and i can suggest it to anybody, who wants to check out Dallas/Fort Worth!
