Overall Ratings & Reviews Firehouse Hostel

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.

Excellent Reception staff. Julia (from France) was extremely helpful when I lost my phone. The a/c was brilliant for the scorching hot weather.

Nice

I had an AMAZING stay at Firehouse. The warm atmosphere, helpful staff, and comfy beds made it a great experience. The lounge beneath is hostel was also so convenient. I can’t wait to come back!

Love that its right on 6th street. Staff really friendly. Met cool people from around the world.

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!

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.

This is a great place to stay.

The staff is professional and friendly Really nice to stay here.

It's really nice and the staff is professional.

The property was overall great for the price! The staff were nice, as was the speakeasy/ bar directly attached. It was pretty clean (beds, bathroom) and maintenance issues were quickly addressed. The rooms did smell kind of bad/ musty/ humid, but just from the fact that there were 6 people in that space. I would definitely stay again!

Not bad with good location

It was nice

The bathrooms were a little gross and leaky, but for the price I didn't really mind so much. It was my first time in a hostel, and it was a good experience. If i were to come back to Austin for the same event I attended, I would for sure come back.

This was my first hostel stay and I loved it!

Bedbugs were found on my bed and i had to wake up to put my clothes and bagpack into the dryer to prevent bedbugs from spreading to my home. The girl said she refunded my night stay but she didnt.

A little issue in the beginning with the availability with my bed, but it got resolved really quickly. Amazing customer service. Really great location, for the price.

Why is this place called Firehouse Hostel? Looks like it used to be a fire department

The stay was good and the staff was very friendly.

It's very close to entertainment
