Firehouse Hostel was a fantastic place to stay! The location is perfect—right in the heart of everything, with easy access to great bars, food, and live music. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere had a fun, welcoming vibe. The historic building adds a lot of charm, and the hidden speakeasy behind the bookshelf was such a cool touch. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, and great value. Would definitely stay here again!

It was my first time in a Hostel, staff was really friendly as my roommates. Bathrooms were damage during my stay and there was a funny smell in the whole building. It is located in the downtown, so you will be close to everything. It's definitely a good option considering the price.

Awesome hostel downtown ATX!! There's a bar area behind the bookcase with live music & great atmosphere (bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper). You get a $5 token to use at the bar at checkin. Beds are really comfy and have a locker underneath. They sell locks for $10, or you can rent one for $2/day. Beds have 2 blankets, 2 huge pillows, a towel, a fan, & outlets. Kitchen is stocked and there are a few places to sit & watch the downtown traffic. Washer/dryer on 2nd floor. Downtown is right outside!! The only con is there were no privacy curtains on the bottom bunks. Definitely recommend this place.

The property was overall great for the price! The staff were nice, as was the speakeasy/ bar directly attached. It was pretty clean (beds, bathroom) and maintenance issues were quickly addressed. The rooms did smell kind of bad/ musty/ humid, but just from the fact that there were 6 people in that space. I would definitely stay again!

The bathrooms were a little gross and leaky, but for the price I didn't really mind so much. It was my first time in a hostel, and it was a good experience. If i were to come back to Austin for the same event I attended, I would for sure come back.

Great location

This hostel is in a great spot and the facilities are nice - there’s even a speakeasy on property. Some notes.. I wasn’t aware it’s an all ages hostel so there was a wide range of ages in the shared room. Also we had a disruptive guest in the room and it wasn’t clear how to circulate concerns/security.

Prime place

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.

Comfortable, central, friendly-but hard to sleep!

The hostel is in a very central, great location close to 6th street. The check-in process was easy and they were able to hold my bags since i got in early. There is a kitchen area and shared bathroom with 2 women's toilets and i believe 3 showers. The room was standard fare 8-bed hostel but it was comfortable and i was able to take a midday nap before dinner. The biggest complaint: the hostel is above a bar/club, which might be great for hangining out-- but the music and vibrations were SO loud until 2am that i could not sleep. You could feel it in the room/bed. I had earplugs too so it was less about volume and more about not being able to get away from FEELING the music! Made for a tough time when i had to get up at 4am for my flight!
