Great place to relax. Easy access to Austin Downtown by bus. Easy access to Austin Airport by bus or by taxi. Staff is very attentive. Internet and local phone calls for free.

Lovely hostel right on the lake and looking over the city. Had a very laid back vibe with a huge living area to chill and meet people. Had a great time here and met some lovely people. The views across the lake are stunning especially at sun set. Great place to stay!!!   Read Owner Comments

Amazing location, right next to the lake, but it is about a 45 min walk from downtown. There is a regular bus service into downtown thats really cheap.

Lone female travellers should take a taxi from the airport at night. There is a nasty dark road with no sidewalk from the bus stop to the hostel. Really, I think the hostel should offer a pick up service.

Great Location at Lake Austin. Just beautiful! Not that far off from downtown, but the bus stop is a good walk away.

HI Austin was very relaxed and comfortable. Although not many events happened at the hostel, it was very close to downtown austin and they made aware of events happening in town.
