I appreciated how every bed had an outlet, and wifi was available (albeit hard to log on at first). The beds were comfy and the shower rooms provided soap/shampoo/conditioner. Also loved how I could walk straight out for a drink at the bar (didn't try the restaurant). My only disappointment was that the complimentary breakfast offering was paltry, but it feels silly to expect a continental breakfast considering the great price.
I liked the vibe, high quality of the materials, cleanness, and how close it is from downtown.
I didn't like the noise on thursdays, fridays and sundays, as loud music stoped only at 2 or 3 am
Hostel is located in a great location. It was super easy to get around downtown from here. I felt safe the entire time. Staff was very helpful when I had an issue or a concern. My only request is to put some shelving in the showers and a dressing room in the dorms so we can have more privacy to change our clothing.
Great Hostel! There is a lot of privacy for a dorm style thanks to the curtains for each bed. Also comfortable mattress and spacious. Each bed has a big locked cubby for possessions. The bar on the weekend is a pretty popular place with a DJ. Staff was very friendly.
J’ai prit une nuit à cet hotel après 4 nuits passées à Austin en Airbnb. Franchement, j’ai été surpris car l’annonce indiquait youth hostel. Le concept est bien pensé. En plus de l’espace l’immeuble possède une section loundge, bar et hôtel. Ce qui m’a le plus surpris est le soucis des détails. J’occupait une chambre avec 5 autres voyageurs et franchement tout y était; un espace sécurisé pour mon bagage, une douche, îlôt lavabo etc. Vraiment pour un court séjour s’est idéal.
It is a very nice place! The hostel is very clean and has a great variety of seats and ambiance. It also helps that it has a very nice coffee and bar right in it.
The beds are very comfortable and the room (with six bunk beds) is clean and quiet (even if there’s music outside at the bar).
The only thing that was complicated to operate are the safes that the room has, but once you get it is easy (and if not you can ask the staff to open or close it for you.
The area seems lonely but it is very close to 6th street and downtown, walkable distance.
There are also great places around to have coffee, buy some groceries, go out at night, and do whatever you fancy.
The kitchen is fairly big and clean, breakfast is served early and consists of fruit, yogurt, granola, tea and milk.
Last, but not least, is the internet connection that works very well. A fast internet to do whatever.
Mine was a business trip, so I would absolutely recommend it to stay on budget and get to know a little of Austin’s way and feel.
Big mistake on not having a "real" free breakfast included.
Mind you, it is a hostel but the options included fruit, coffee, granola and yougart.
If they would have had a decent breakfast included for a $200 room (as an exception) it would have at least made it worth it.
Josh, who checked me in at midnight, was welcoming and chill. The beds and especially the pillow was uncomfortable. The place looks great, was always clean and had a bar. The price was fantastic for it's location. WiFi was slow. I've had much better amenities at other hostels.
Very comfortable beds. Towels and shower amenities were appreciated as was the light breakfast. Convenient location for me stumbling in from Dirty 6th or the Eastside.
Great place to stay. Across the street from downtown, rooms are quiet, service is great, place is comfortable, restaurant and bar in the same building, work area, large free parking, beautiful place.
This hostel is an innovative combination of popular bar and shared accommodation. This combination provides benefits and challenges. The benefits include on-site dining and social opportunities. The challenges include late night music that can be too loud combined with air conditioning that can be too cold in the separate semi-private hostel portion of the building. I like it that they have a kitchen available for guests but wished the coffee service would have started earlier than 8 AM. So it is a mixed review but I still was left with an overall favorable impression. Also I would note that if you have a downtown event this hostel is within easy walking distance of the convention center etc and the prices are much more reasonable than those offered by the big hotels.
The hotel staff was really nice. However, the first night there the sink faucet broke and flooded the my room and the two rooms next door. The sink did not have shutoff valves under it and the staff couldn't find the main one to shut it off for about an hour and a half.
