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.

The hostel is in a very central, great location close to 6th street. The check-in process was easy and they were able to hold my bags since i got in early. There is a kitchen area and shared bathroom with 2 women's toilets and i believe 3 showers. The room was standard fare 8-bed hostel but it was comfortable and i was able to take a midday nap before dinner. The biggest complaint: the hostel is above a bar/club, which might be great for hangining out-- but the music and vibrations were SO loud until 2am that i could not sleep. You could feel it in the room/bed. I had earplugs too so it was less about volume and more about not being able to get away from FEELING the music! Made for a tough time when i had to get up at 4am for my flight!

There was a very loud party that lasted until 2/3 in the morning. There is no free parking, you have paid parking on the street, that's very expensive!
And I paid 50 dollar for "sleeping" in bunk bed in a dorm, ridiculous!
Really a shame! In Holland we call this geldklopperij

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.

The room was not adequately air conditioned; there were multiple fans going in there constantly, but it wasn’t super cool. There was a small fan for use up at the bunk, but it was still a warm & stuffy sleep.
The curtains are not blackout, so it’s light in the room at night. It’s also quite loud- I was on the second floor at the front of the building, so there was lots of street noise during the night, as well as noise from the bar below. A girl in the room was consistently inconsiderate with noise (I guess this is the risk in any hostel, unfortunately). Female shower block seemed a little run down- it needs more space to hang toiletry bags/put belongings and every shower cubicle should have a basket to put your shower items. There was nowhere private to dress outside the cubicle once you’d showered.
The area: within walking distance to Congress Ave Bridge, Texas Capitol, 6th St, bus stop from the airport, and Flixbus/Greyhound stop. Lots of homeless in the area, but I felt safe enough walking around on my own. Staff at the hostel were ok, but not overly friendly. There was no info on things to do in the area. When I asked, I was just told to look at what’s on the walls in the stairwell (historical images of locations in Austin)- wasn’t very helpful.
The most affordable option I could find in Austin, by far, so would likely stay again just based on that. But it’s definitely a budget stay, and not one designed for true rest or comfort.
