    Great location, near the shops, bars, restaruants etc. Liked the female dorm bed I had, it had a clip on fan on a shelf on the bed, and it has a slight privacy partition. Kitchen was great for socialising and good facilities for cooking.

    Really nice hostel in central Austin, right next to 6th Street. Friendly staff members and the facilities were good, including common areas around the hostel and a spacious and well-functioning kitchen. You can also get a discount at the built-in...
