Was okay! Definitely a hostel, not super clean, but it’s to be expected I suppose! There are small things I think that could be added to make the place exceptional (like there were no outlets or lamps by the beds, no hooks to hang up your towels in the room etc). There also wasn’t a ton of info given during check in, I didn’t even know the second floor had a blow dryer until the last day. Otherwise, for Austin you couldn’t beat the location just off 6th street, 0.4 miles from the convention center and right down the street from the river. For the location and to avoid all the nearby expensive hotels I think it’s worth it as an affordable option. I had the private room on the third floor and while still kind of expensive I think they also assume it gets split between more than one person which would make it much more reasonable. Also I was worried about the speakeasy being loud and hard to sleep, but that wasn’t an issue at all being on the third floor, I wore earplugs and slept just fine. The beds are meh, and the place doesn’t give a warm fuzzy feel, but again, it’s a hostel, as long as you keep that in mind and don’t expect more than that then you’ll be fine. There is a large fridge on the second floor to store extra food and a kitchen. All in all, if the price and location appeals to you then it’s worth it. I’d probably stay here again to save money if back in Austin for a conference!
