Did you know there are hostels in Texas? One of the best in the state, the Firehouse Hostel in Austin is also the largest, with four different types of rooms, a kitchen, common areas, and even a speakeasy-style bar downstairs. Plus, it’s located in the oldest fire station in the city!

Nestled in the heart of downtown Austin, the Firehouse Hostel is located in the oldest standing fire station in the Capital City, dating to 1885. The hostel is also right around the corner from the world-famous 6th Street, so you'll be within walking distance of the best bars and restaurants in town.

The Firehouse is the largest hostel in Texas, offering four different styles of rooms to suit everyone's needs. If you're okay with sharing a room, the dorms are the most affordable option.
Hostelworld
Economy dorms sleep 4-6 people on standard bunk beds, while Deluxe dorms sleep 6-8 on super-duty bunks with built-in lockers and reading lamps.
Hostelworld
Private rooms are also available (with and without attached bathrooms). If you opt for a dorm or a standard private room, you'll have to share a bathroom with the other guests - but the facilities are always extremely clean, and towels are even provided to guests!
