The location was perfect and the hotel is beautiful. Anyone interested in history this is a must stay. Gable (swing shift desk clerk) is so knowledgeable about the hotel and the history of it and El Paso. The hotel is beautifully restored and all the employees seem to take great pride in it. Discounts are offered at some of the surrounding establishments. My stay was fantastic! El Paso has become one of the most beautiful cities in the U.S. and anybody choosing to visit should definitely stay at Gardner! Thanks again so much Stephanie, Gable and all the other staff!

no complaints

Where do I start. This hotel/hostel is literally a step back in time. My husband is a history nerd. When I found this place on goodie I just thought this would be a cool stay to treat my husband to. Little did I know I was in for a treat myself. Our hostess were absolutely WONDERFUL! He explained a little of the history and offered to give us a tour. Seeing how excited my husband was after the tour of the John Dillinger suite they offered us an upgrade! I have never felt safer and more comfortable in any other establishment. Rooms were timeless and elegant. And if your in to a little spooky they have that as well! 100% will be back and will recommend to any one interested in a little time travel.

Absolutely nothing to complain about.

The location is good. Easy to reach with bus from the airport. It’s walkable through the down town area. Nice lobby very originally decorated. The single Room is really comfortable, and spacious. And has the commodities one needs. And you get discount to the places around the hotel.

Can use some sound proofing. From the neighboring rooms. And maybe from the clubs downstairs

Everything about my stay was great! The staff were all friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean and comfortable. The downtown location was convenient and just a quick streetcar ride across downtown to both the Greyhound and Amtrak stations. And the community kitchen and lounge were a huge bonus as I was able to cook food and store leftovers. I loves the history of the building (huge Cormac McCarthy fan) as well and will definitely stay here on all future El Paso trips!

If you’re looking for a cheap place to stay at while passing through El Paso, this is it. The hostel was nice for the value. It was very clean and the staff was nice. I booked a room with 4 beds, but I was the only one there, which was wonderful since I had the entire room for myself. Otherwise, it would’ve been a little too crowded. It’s a dated hotel, but taken care of. The hotel is located in the heart of downtown within walking distance to many bars and restaurants. The trolley (train) also passes by the hotel.

The clubs nearby are loud, but I knew this before I booked it.

The manager was very attentive and helpful. The rooms were clean, and the linens smelled awesome.

That 4 bed shared rooms are only available for 2 weeks at a time, then you have to get a room with 1 bed and the price goes up. Other than this i didn't want to leave

Everything, from the A+ location, the friendly staff and good atmosphere to the budget friendly options maintaining excellent comfort, cleanliness, its antique decor, it’s a historical landmark in El Paso. All amenities like a well equipped kitchen to cook and a refrigerator, washer and dryer for guests, a game room with a TV, pool table and other amenities.

Liked everything

The price to quality ratio was good. I stayed in a 4 bed male hostel room. There was only one other person staying with me in the room, and they were cool. I also liked the downstairs kitchen and recreational area. That area was much bigger and nicer than expected.

There are no problems that I can think of.

Gardner Hostel is so different, it is full of interesting history. They have nice decorated lobby interior and other parts of hotel, too. And it's in the very center of El Paso downtown. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean. I would recomend the hostel to anyone.

This is my go to place whenever I'm in town. As usual the staff was courteous and professional. This historical hotel is well taken care of and clean. Great downtown location close to restaurants and bars. For italian food I recommend The Pizza Joint.

Would be nice if the antique elevator worked. But that's okay.
