Easy, simple, comfortable. I recommend...
Liked: I loved meeting the friendly travelers staying at the hostelI loved the free food and contributing food when I left
Disliked: The bedroom did not have great air quality, my friend’s room had better AC. Fresher air would be great.

Not very quiet and not...
Liked: The Firehouse hostel is in the middle of downtown Austin, many things are just a short walk away. The staff as well as the other people staying at the hostel were friendly and nice to talk to and the laundry facilities are great
Disliked: You have to be aware that the hostel has a bar on the first floor - so there can be a rather high noise level in the rooms, even when all the guests are quiet. I didn't get much sleep the first night.Also, the AC in my room was not nearly strong enough for the amount of people sleeping in there. As a solution, the hostel installed small fans next to every bed - that works okay-ish, but a better AC would be preferable.But after all, it's a hostel, and if you want to have an affordable place to stay and are willing to take some compromises, I can still recommend it

Very good
Liked: Solid beds, no squeaks. A TON of water pressure. Nice and close to 6th St and nightlife.
Disliked: It is noisy till 2am most nights, due to the bar downstairs. Not much social activities. A bit expensive for a hostel, there probably is some hotels the same price

Ok-ish for a short stay
Liked: The desk staff is very friendly and available. The location is good if you want to be close to all the nightlife, bad if you want a quiet environment. The other guests were nice and respectful of each other.
Disliked: I was there for a weekend and the bathrooms were never cleaned. There was visible trash and dust in the room that was also never cleaned while I was there.
