One of our greatest assets and also what makes the Hostel so damn special is all the wonderful people who work here and who have worked here--past and present. Here's Cat giving a wonderful Creative Mornings/BUF talk a few years back about all the many great things shes involved with in our community from the Buffalo Infringement Festival & Dreamland to The Stripteasers & Buffalo Food Not Bombs and the importance of being yourself. <3 <3 <3

Oh hi Thanks @muntzstudios for making us look all shiny #Repost @muntzstudios with @get_repost ... Last week, we had the pleasure of shooting some of the wonderful work that @free_catalog had on display at @hostel_buffalo #buffalo #buffalony #artphotography #art #buffaloartists #mainstreetbuffalony #hostel #716buffalo

And what a happy cranksgiving it was! We were happy to host the 9th annual and first ever social distancingfood drive/scavenger hunt bike ride where speed doesn’t matter as much as your thrifty shopping skills do. Thanks to stacy and adam at @gobikebuffalo for organizing another great event and esp those cookies and @foodnotbombsbuffalo for over 2 and a half decades of serving healthy vegan meals to our downtown (and now west side communities). This years raised 720lbs!... (FNB Mural in our basement by @buxomblonde & @zaz.monster ) #buffalofoodnotbombs #gobikebuffalo #hostelbuffalo #thisplacematters

And we’re back!... kinda. It’s always a good sign that things are coming back when we get to see familiar faces of returning guests like the ever-charming Andrew Sackey in town from NYC. Andrew has been staying with us over the past several years on his visits to Buffalo and has become a good friend of ours. Safe travels Andrew!...

And we’re back!... kinda. From Medellin, Colombia, Santiago lives & works in the states and decided to come to Buffalo for a weekend trip to see this Niagara Falls. He’s one of our first of several guests over the past month as we ease back into reopening and we gotta say it’s pretty damn great to host awesome travelers again (at a safe social distance, of course). If you have rad guests coming to town, help spread the word; ( we are doing prepaid, contactless check-ins wi...th solo rooms :) Thanks for staying Santiago!

Having a socially distant Hostel is hard but communication via pastel handmade cards make it all alright. #hostelbuffalo #travelbuf #affordabletravel #irreplaceable #downtownbuffalo #visitbuffaloniagara #dontforgettotravel

Free Catalog, a new series of work by illustrator & printmaker Andy Krzystek runs through Nov 7th. For an appointment to see to the show, dm us for an arranged ...contactless viewing or Andy via @free_catalog for a personal artist viewing. A few pieces are still available. Special Thanks to @asiwny for supporting our 2020 season & all their work they do supporting the arts in and around WNY

And we’re back... kinda. We are running a more scaled back & independent operation than usual as we ease our way back into things. We will be operating more contactlessly and more remotely. With limited desk hours to keep transactions and interactions at a minimum & contactless for now, all reservations are to be made online via hostelbuffalo.com & Airbnb. We now have a 2 night minimum stay policy and reservations need to be made a day prior to arrival so contactless check-in...s can be arranged. All guests are to wear masks in our common areas (except their own rooms) & keep 6’ apart from those not in your group. All inquires about staying, group reservations, or if you’re a bikepacker, email us at: [email protected] Thank you for your continued support! HBN . . . Here’s a funny selfie of NE Ken, a favorite guest of ours who just returned recently and is on the road again. He first came through over a year ago while on a cross country bike trip out west. Now he’s doing a similar route by car out to Montana, only difference is he’s planning to return to Buffalo to live in a few months because he loves it here so damn much. Safe travels Ken! #hostelbuffalo #dontforgettotravel #downtownbuffalo #travelbuf #thisplacematters #affordabletravel #visitbuffaloniagara

A couple years ago when Main Street still had a healthy Pants competition. <3
