Firehouse Hostel

Austin周辺ではここが一番安いドミトリーの宿だった。仕方なく泊まったが夜、ライブハウスのビルがあるのか分からないけど10時から1時ぐらいまで煩くて寝付けなかった。後は立地はAustinの中心部だったので、それほど不便はしなかった。全体的に綺麗とまではいえないが、許容の範囲内のドミトリーだった。また泊まりかと言えば泊まりたくないです。

First time. Different, but it worked for me. I think it’s a cool option, convenient and inexpensive. Thank you.

There was a very loud party that lasted until 2/3 in the morning. There is no free parking, you have paid parking on the street, that's very expensive! And I paid 50 dollar for "sleeping" in bunk bed in a dorm, ridiculous! Really a shame! In Holland we call this geldklopperij

Really the only option, prime location in the center. By all the nightlife and restaurants. Walkable to the university and capital. Easy 15 min bus to parks. Great WiFi, comfy beds although the pillow is flat. Bathrooms fine. Kitchen was hangout area and it had the basics. Staff was good.

The room was not adequately air conditioned; there were multiple fans going in there constantly, but it wasn’t super cool. There was a small fan for use up at the bunk, but it was still a warm & stuffy sleep. The curtains are not blackout, so it’s light in the room at night. It’s also quite loud- I was on the second floor at the front of the building, so there was lots of street noise during the night, as well as noise from the bar below. A girl in the room was consistently inconsiderate with noise (I guess this is the risk in any hostel, unfortunately). Female shower block seemed a little run down- it needs more space to hang toiletry bags/put belongings and every shower cubicle should have a basket to put your shower items. There was nowhere private to dress outside the cubicle once you’d showered. The area: within walking distance to Congress Ave Bridge, Texas Capitol, 6th St, bus stop from the airport, and Flixbus/Greyhound stop. Lots of homeless in the area, but I felt safe enough walking around on my own. Staff at the hostel were ok, but not overly friendly. There was no info on things to do in the area. When I asked, I was just told to look at what’s on the walls in the stairwell (historical images of locations in Austin)- wasn’t very helpful. The most affordable option I could find in Austin, by far, so would likely stay again just based on that. But it’s definitely a budget stay, and not one designed for true rest or comfort.

Great amenities and clean environment. Friendly desk staff and interesting guests. Must recommend!

Staff very friendly, sociable environment and amenities close by

Staff was great at check-in, and loads of bars just around the corner. Bathroom could’ve been cleaner, but was fine. Very satisfied for the price

Great hostel for meeting and partying with others from all over. Howie was super helpful at every juncture. Just be ready for some noise on weekends up to 2am as hostel is located right above a speakeasy.
