Hotel Ylem is definitely a gem in this area. It’s a small boutique hotel. I didn’t know until we visited but they serve many that are visiting the medical center. They even have a sign at the front offering Ubers to patients needing a ride to and from, which I thought was extremely courteous and kind for those traveling here. They also take a lot of care cleaning the rooms. The fridge was one of the few hotel fridges we’ve experienced that actually stays cold. Only negative we encountered was having trouble finding parking coming back on a Thursday night, the lot was full and some cars did not pull through to available spaces. We had to squeeze through next to a storage container and parts in the lot hoping ppl would just pull out in the morning.

Came with a friend for a concert and stayed the night. This hotel was the best! Clean, sweet staff, nice bar, and right near tons of walkable locations. We didn’t know when we booked but they even were able to provide a shuttle to and from the concert. It was literally THE BEST. Will be booking again every time I come out to Houston!

I love the uniqueness and vibe of this hotel. The staff were awesome and the ease of using their complimentary Uber service to MD Anderson was a blessing. Their fitness room was not complete yet, which was a disappointment, since the weather at the time was not wonderful for going to the parks. Overall, we will definitely use their services again.

Died then went to heaven

Ylem is one of the best places to live within the Medical Center area. It was clean. The sheets, toilet, shower, sofa, refrigerator were all clean. The staff was friendly, helpful and professional. Oh, the hotel offers Lyft service. That service is well worth it my reservation. I previously made reservation at hotel, Bestway Hotel. It was a dump!!! I was trying to save money. I cancelled the hotel as soon as I got in the room. I immediately made reservation with Ylem. What a different. I had died and gone to heaven.

Ideal place to stay if you are in town for any events at the NRG stadium. The hotel is old but niquely revived with a flare of creative decors. Room is nice, clean and spacious. And the rate is reasonably cheap. Definitely will come back again next year.

Better Than Last Time

Located in easy access to NRG park, it is a great location and something of a stealth hotel — cooler on the inside than the exterior might indicate. However, there were a couple of weird things with this stay: 1) No bedside table lamps in my room, so only light was from the main overhead lights. 2) No seating in the hotel room aside from the bed — no desk chair or side chair. That said, the hotel was in better condition than my previous time there (a couple of years ago) and they seem to be making some improvements. The coolest amenity on site is the bar, which is a funky and comfortable lounge. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Towels could be improved.
