Will definitely come again. Great people all around!
-
Great location. Free laundry.
-
Also there was a free beer shelf in the fridge where you could help yourself to some texas beer! I thought that was a super nice gesture from the hostel!
-
Great central location, staff incredibly kind and welcoming! They should definitely try to keep the common areas, like bathrooms and showers, much cleaner. It was pretty unpleasant.

I will stay again if I need to do it in the future. The room was insanely cold. I know some people in my room complained but apparently that is something that the hostel can't change. It was not only my room, it is a problem of every bedroom. I find the place a little expensive to be a hostel. In general I do not pay more than $50/day when I stay in a hostel of this characteristics but this time I had to pay $70/day. I do not know if this was because the Austin Reggae festival or it is common in Austin to pay this price, but I found it a little expensive. This was, however, the cheapest option nearby.

Free washing machine always keep me tidy and clearness , Love it! Washing machine is my favorite ! I’ve stay all hostel with similar price in Houston. None of them has wash machine. They were living in 20 century, Can’t bear with it.
-
They went above and beyond for me. There’s a speak easy lounge adjacent to the hostel, game shows, karaoke, live entertainment to name a few or just chill. I have no complaints.
-
Everyone here has been the most kind and most genuine and authentic and thank you guys so so much for helping me I don't know what I would have done without your help. It brings me to tears sitting out front the hostel. Anytime I have the chance and opportunity to be able to stay at this hostel again I will it is far more worth it than the price and far more valuable than anyone understands. Nothing

First time staying at a hostel, was a good experience in a nice location.
-
The location Food and drink been taken for me
-
The location was great! Bed was comfy! Amenities were clean! Couldn't have asked for more. The previous person who stayed in the room forgot to give their bed number tag to the front desk, so I assumed they were still here, which they weren't, which ended up me choosing a bunk that I did not prefer. Not the biggest deal but was dissapointing.
-
Good place, but the bathroom feels a little bit outdated.
-
This hostel was all around excellent - I’m shocked that it’s review scores aren’t higher! It was everything I was hoping for and expecting.
-
The hostel provided luggage storage early when I arrived before check in and the next day after the checkout. The location was great facilities descent and they provided a towel. The bar at the hostel is a night club running until 2am. Don't know if it's everyday or not, but just have that in mind. If it's running, it will be noisy till 2am.
-
The room was to cold for my comfort. Once under the blankets + my extra was ok but changing clothes was crazy. Just the bedroom though. The red headed girl was judgmental to the point of rudeness and disrespect when I was conversing about my plans. And the bartender with the glasses and long brown hair kinda dorky, started talking about some Spanish book about how to learn how to enjoy doing ungodly things that would violate this reviews terms of service if I actually said it. That was extremely creepy. I would personally never promote such an activity as I hear it is frowned upon in MOST societies....... I hate to be to the one to say anything but if those two worked for me well... They wouldn't.

Center of town and great staff Extremely loud. There is a bar in the back that plays music till 2 am. I barely slept all week.
-
-
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.

Staff, staff, staff ask for Howie when you come Air temp. Poor hvac
