Built in 1885, our hostel was originally a firehouse built to service the historic Driskill hotel across the street. While updating the building to 21st century standards, we’ve worked to maintain the old world charm and structure of the original firehouse.
Featuring a common area and kitchen, wifi, clean and accessible bathrooms, and a variety of room styles (not to mention easy access to our adjacent firehouse Lounge), our hostel is an ideal stop for any traveler. Our helpful guest staff is available 24/7 and is overflowing with information on Austin’s nightlife districts, shopping, public transportation and museums. Traveling alone or looking to meet people in Austin? Talk to our desk staff about our weekly bar crawls and activity trips that include canoeing on lake Austin, Museum visits, and much more.
