The rooms are a bit dingy and the beds can get a bit claustrophobic.

People are hip and nice. The property is well designed. Very Gen Z.

The sound of the area knocks till 2am. A bathroom could be bigger cause was always crowded.

The place has all facilities like kitchen, working area, bathrooms and an amazing bar

Getting Overpriced. Now charging after tax what I would pay at a budget motel..only in those I have privacy..my own bathroom.. my own bed and in some places my own kitchenette or free breakfast for no more than 55.00. I shouldn't be paying close to that amount for a shared dorm hostel. 25.00 plus tax is ideal to 35.00 after tax maximum in a small shared space with no extra amenities. I travel for on call work contract so this location is convenient but the prices not so much.

Location. Convenient.

The homeless will not leave you alone. They ruin the atmosphere of the area.

Convenience to the bars, clubs and the food.

Staff wasn't nice enough, no breakfast, loud music from the bar till 2am, not soundproof window. But I had earplugs, so the music wasn't so much problem for me.

No parking and nearby garages were quite expensive. Shower water got cold after a couple of minutes.

Great location just next to 6th street. We rented a whole room with private bathroom, nothing fancy but it was fine for our group. I wouldn't know about the shared areas but they looked tidy and quiet.

I had an amazing experience at the firehouse hostel ! the location is really good, and there were super cool activities organised by Rara & Melissa who help us to meet some people when we travel alone ! I had an amazing time there and I was lucky to met great people !

Great location, staff very friendilly and many events organized by the hostel to meet people and make new friends

Unfortunately, like most downtown locations nowadays, there were a lot of homeless people in the area, especially in the evening . Just be aware and stay safe. I didn't feel unsafe, but I didn't go out after dark either.

Close to all downtown sights and the river. Lots to do in the area. Suitable stay .

The staff were incredible! Special mention to Rara who took us out on numerous bar crawls during my stay and made us all feel welcome. She was also a guest but had stayed at the hotel a few times

The property is right in the downtown area close to bars and restaurants plus the hostel has its own bar behind a bookcase the staff were very helpful

It could have been cleaner but can’t ask for it all.

Very good location.

Not every staff member is cool enough - terse replies and not cooperative enough. Bath towels are in a desperate need of replacement Very, very noisy hostel. Unlike any other establishments I stayed at, this one is paying no attention to the noise levels at all.

Unbeatable location Well-equipped kitchen

The lockers in the room were underneath the beds, meaning that it was hard to get my stuff out without waking people up in the morning.

I made friends in hostel speakeasy bar within a few hours of arriving and explored the city with them for the remainder of my stay. It was really interesting meeting and talking to all the other hostel guests. And Austin is an awesome city!

Stayed in October 2024

Needed a bit more vacuuming, like in storage areas

So fun meeting and talking to new guys and girls in the dining room. Lots of activities, boardgames in the dining room, speakeasy downstairs.
