Exceptional

Liked: Excellent location

I enjoyed the old charm...

Liked: I was impressed that the old firehouse in late 1900s is converted to a hostel - kind of authentic as a hostel ーIt adds a touch of charm to the old atmosphere of Austin. The sturdy old wooden bunk beds, probably used by old firefighters, are particularly comfortable and have a unique charm that is not found in the simple pipe bunk beds in other dome rooms. I also particularly liked the wooden doors on the bathroom booths, which are rare these days. There's also a nice hidden bar behind the bookshelf near the entrance, but I didn't drink so I couldn't use itー
Disliked: I stayed only two days and wanted to find good touring spots as possible, but I missed most of it because the lady at the front desk never wished to provide any suggestion for very restricted stayer, and later I realized I should have just signed up to the 'guided audio tour of ghost tour of Austin around this neighborhood starting in the old Mayor's mantion on this street, I really regret that! I only visited the State capitol within limited time. I wish the staff person to be more informative

Superb

Liked: The quality of the hostel and the staff were amazing! Thanks to Felipe and the rest of the staff for their friendliness :)
