The Firehouse hostel is in the middle of downtown Austin, many things are just a short walk away. The staff as well as the other people staying at the hostel were friendly and nice to talk to and the laundry facilities are great

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Comfortable and relatively cheap. Great location, close to the Texas Capitol and downtown area as well as some great restaurants and breweries in East Austin.

    The staff was amazing and the location! I visited a lot of interesting things just walking around. Other locators were also really nice. This is the best place to meet some new people and have fun! I felt safe and welcome.

    Great location Great amentities Overall the place needs some TLC, but the beds were super comfy, everything was clean and the wifi worked great for working. They have all the amenities, coffee maker, microwave, fridge, iron hairdryer - ideal for a business event on the go. The pool was VERY clean and overall felt very safe and secure in the location. Breakfast was basic, but still variety in waffles with syrup, oats, cereals, yogurts, fruit, toast etc.

    The staff is really kind and helpful, all of them, that's something I really appreciate. The cleaning of the room and bathroom, kitchen is really good. The location of the hostel is excellent by the way, everything is close to you and I felt safe in the nearby streets. I would really stay here again.
