A hostel used Austin's 1st firehouse built in 1800s. Modest but nice..i liked the classic wooden beds, kitchen and shared bathroom's old feature much better than today's facilities. the wooden bunk bed is better than the pipe bed of ordinary dorm rooms. There is a hidden guest bar behind the bookshelf at lobby..all matches classical district's air.
The kitchen's microwave was broken! While I missed the chance to go to Austin's audio-guided ghost tour around nearby historical mansions like city manor's old house- the front desk person evaded the question and didn't give me any tourist info so i missed the valuable opportunity of staying 2 nights only.
I loved meeting the friendly travelers staying at the hostel I loved the free food and contributing food when I left
The bedroom did not have great air quality, my friend’s room had better AC. Fresher air would be great.
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
You have to be aware that the hostel has a bar on the first floor - so there can be a rather high noise level in the rooms, even when all the guests are quiet. I didn't get much sleep the first night. Also, the AC in my room was not nearly strong enough for the amount of people sleeping in there. As a solution, the hostel installed small fans next to every bed - that works okay-ish, but a better AC would be preferable. But after all, it's a hostel, and if you want to have an affordable place to stay and are willing to take some compromises, I can still recommend it
Solid beds, no squeaks. A TON of water pressure. Nice and close to 6th St and nightlife.
It is noisy till 2am most nights, due to the bar downstairs. Not much social activities. A bit expensive for a hostel, there probably is some hotels the same price
