Prime place

Really the only option, prime location in the center. By all the nightlife and restaurants. Walkable to the university and capital. Easy 15 min bus to parks. Great WiFi, comfy beds although the pillow is flat. Bathrooms fine. Kitchen was hangout area and it had the basics. Staff was good.

Bathroom sink was leaking and made the room smell fairly terrible. Was too tired to go through the hassle of changing rooms aside from that though breakfast was very good and staff helpful for what I needed.

Very cool bar with fun bookshelf entrance. Staff are nice and helpful. Great location near Capital, restaurants and not to far from Congress bridge to see the bats. AC doesn’t keep the building cool. Loud if you’re on the second floor with live band in bar. Bathrooms are dirty and lots of disrepair. Sink didn’t work, broken parts in shower, leak from the ceiling in bathroom for multiple days that they didn’t seem to have a plan to fix.

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.

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.

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!

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.
