Quirky hostel right on the heart of town close to all amenities. Would highly recommend and stay again.

leaving a five star, because the staff were lovely (mostly Jon) but honestly I'm not sure how this place has such good reviews, I would not stay here again. I didn't even have a light or a power plug next to my bed, as described in description, lockers were way too small for my bag. I thought I was booking what was pictured, but no.. The room was bare, bunkbeds were wobbly metal, with no privacy curtain. honestly put me off hostels.

The facilities are pretty fine and the staff is very nice but if you are hoping to sleep before 2am, don’t even try. There is a speakeasy on the ground floor which resonates through the building. You can clearly hear the music loud and clear in your bed.

Nice place. Quiet hours not until 2am due to loud bar downstairs until 2am. They give free earplugs. Free simple breakfast and laundry.

Only hostel in Austin, good option to stay in downtown. They have a nice bar which guests have discount.

great location, good value for money, kitchen is suprisingly well equipped! I had a 4 bed dorm which was quite spacy with big lockers for luggage. Bathroom quite clean, great showers! I was kinda missing a space to hang out & chill (the kitchen is not really the most comfortable). Also be aware, the bar is right below the hostel so your bed will be shaking because of the noise from around 8pm to 2am 😅

The hostel covers some of the absolute basics. It has a lot of potential but falls extremely short in cleanliness (the bathrooms weren’t cleaned or restocked daily, the showers were moldy/had mildew especially on the shower curtains which costs $1 to replace, the bedrooms also weren’t cleaned (mopped/sweeped), etc. There was no AC/air conditioning in the room and the ceiling fan was messed up. It’s VERY loud & location isn’t safe at night, The staff were super sweet!

Good hostel, although the bar downstairs is very loud until late at night virtually every night. Bring earplugs or find somewhere else if you have an issue with noise.

Friendly staff and a great location! I wish the bathrooms were better, though - not enough hooks, shower looked like it hadn't been cleaned properly.

I really liked the vibe of this hostel. Also nice that they give you two pillows and comfortable bedding. Rooms are quiet and well equiped. It was decently social for a US hostel as well. Would definitely stay again.

L'emplacement est idéal, à part cela, beauoup de laissez-faire. Pas de lampes de lecture pour chaque lit, personnel mal informé, sauf MIRANDA à la réception -- une perle ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Petit-déjeuner rustique mais suffisant, cuisine bien equipée, assez d'eau chaude dans SDB. Mais pas beaucoup moins cher que quelques hôtels dans le quartier.

Ideal location, right in central downtown Austin blocks from the Texas state capitol. Friendly staff, happy to answer any questions, give recommendations. Bunk beds 10 out of course 10 big, comfortable, sturdy top bunk doesn’t shake constantly, provide blinds for privacy. Kitchen area is perfect for cooking or socializing with fellow guests, clean showers and toilets, and the hostel has its own speak easy bar. WhatsApp group chat for the hostel is available. The most social and fun hostel in t...

The hostel is really close to downtown and historical 6th street where all the party is going on. Its a safe hostel with amazing employees and volunteers, they work really hard to make you comfortable. Thanks to all, especially to English girl Kaz. Rooms are big enough and beds are comfortable. There is always hot water. Cleaning of bathrooms may be done better as usually i saw they were not so clean but this is because of guests too. In general its a very nicr hostel highly reccomended

Very sweet staff members. Decent amenities for the price you pay. The Firehouse Lounge is an awesome cocktail place! Hostel location is excellent! This will be my place next time when I am in Austin.
