A couple things to expect:
1) A speakeasy within a bookshelf
2) Friendly customer service at the front door
3) The dining room, where new friends are made
Just know no outside guests within the hostel, but besides that, it was exceptionally well the setup. Another thing to note is that they do not allow outside pillows or blankets, which is a bit odd to me, but the ones you are provided with are extremely comfortable to sleep on.
I am a big fan of Jared! He is an extremely friendly guy from Vermont that has all the information on what to do during your stay in Austin.
