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.

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.

Great central hostel
Staff was great at check-in, and loads of bars just around the corner. Bathroom could’ve been cleaner, but was fine. Very satisfied for the price

Great hostel for meeting and partying with others from all over. Howie was super helpful at every juncture. Just be ready for some noise on weekends up to 2am as hostel is located right above a speakeasy.

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.
