Great place to stay for a quick weekend trip to downtown. The bar downstairs was convenient so was the location. Staff was very friendly!

It was my first time in a hostel and needless to say, I loved it. The bed was clean, loved the kitchen area and restrooms were separate and extremely tidy. A few notes might be either adding curtains for the top bunks as well or maybe a small light like the fans. Thanks again. Enjoy your visit.

Loud music playing until 2 AM from the bar downstairs. No lights in the bunk. Rather dirty, but great location.

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.

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.

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.
