  • The staff was super friendly and helpful with suggestions on places to go, things to see, bus information, etc. The common areas were well kept, big, and very inviting. I loved my time at HI Austin; I would definitely recommend it for anyone visiting.

  • Even though we only stayed one night it was clear to us that the hostel was a really welcoming place. The location and the atmosphere really made us want to stay for a few more nights. We will recommend this place, and we will come again if we want to visit Austin again.

  • It was a little bit crowded during the F1 race weekend, but it the way you can meet a lot of different people from all over the world. Also the staff helps me to find really iconic bars in the city. They have a large parking, that's great for a hostel.

  • Great value for the money - great location - very clean! Little bit noisy with people coming in and out of the room, but that's to be expected with dormitory style rooms. Would definately stay again.

  • I think it was too expensive... I had been travelling around Texas and the average I paid for a night is 22 bucks at cool hostels.. this one was 30 bucks and I think it was too much..!! I know there are hotels for 40 and under per night... so... it doesnt worth...!!

  • This hostel was really cool - the staff gave us great tips on where to go and they were really freindly. I met some great people there and the whole vibe of the place was very enjoyable. Thanks for the stay - Austin was a hell of a time.
