Reviews

Very affordable especially if you need a quick overnighter. Comfort level depends on what other guests are booked for the same night. Some nights are very quiet, others noisier.

It was amazing that’s the only word I can think of to describe the experience
-
Wonderful stay as always. The bunk with the individual fans, curtains, and outlets is great. Noise, but that is part of being in the middle of the exciting of downtown Austin
-
This hostel is really comfortable. It has all the kitchen utensils, the beds are comfortable (you can sit up in a bottom bed), and the location is fantastic. The fridge could be bigger.

Excellent location. Noisy, but I had expected that, and it is clearly advertised that it is above a bar. There are ear plugs available from reception. Bin in my room could have been changed a little more frequently and bathroom floor mopped a little more frequently.

L O C A T I O N L O C A T I O N !!!!!! Not the worst thing in the world but in my room (204) it was very cold ... also, I knew before going, the club downstairs rocks out very loud (but PROMPTLY CUTS IT OFF @ 2AM).

Great Location A little noisy from the music downstairs till 2am, but I had earl plugs so it was fine.

This place is extremely well run. It’s clean. The showers are nice and the rooms have excellent air-conditioning. I’ve stayed here several times, and it’s much nicer than the budget motels down the street. If you’re a solar traveler, I highly recommend staying here.
