great hostel in the best location. the receptionists were very helpful, much appreciated.
i only stayed one night but enjoyed my stay. it was easy to get to know the people in the hostel, the vibe was open and social. most people were either students or people new to the city looking for a place. the austin rental market seems pretty crazy. not so easy to find an affordable airbnb either, this is a good alternative. its not super cheap for a hostel but you get great access to the city.
even for a thursday night it was fun and busy but also pretty wild at times and unsafe. seems like they dont enforce safety rules. people were friendly but i still felt like i needed to watch my things. they got a locker for each bed.
