My time at the Firehouse Hostel exceeded my expectations. The place was clean and well maintained. Bryant was very welcoming and went out of his way to make all the guests feel at home. They have a nice little lounge area where you get to meet fellow travellers and eat some of the complimeosnacks they have or heat up your own. I highly recommend coming here if you are visiting Austin and I will definitely come back here when I'm in Austin again.
