Nice location, very safe place, near to restaurants and bars, they offered me one free beer in their speakeasy bar which is quite cool. I definitely recommend this place :)

Awesome experience

Location is unbeatable - great food, great party - you’ll get there walking. Also it feels pretty safe. Also I didn’t expect the bed to be so good, everything was very comfortable and very clean. The staff were so kind since I checked in until I checked out. I’ll definitely stay there on my next trip.

I had a fantastic recent stay at Firehouse Hostel. Everything was clean, fun, and friendly and the hostel is in a great spot to access everything in the city. Ana was particularly amazing and her bar crawl and events made the stay even better - she’s a real star!

I did not see anything in the description of the property saying that it was also a bar. Friday and Saturday late at night i could here the music from my bedroom. It did not bother me to sleep but this information should be more explicit

Very central location, and the speakeasy below was fantastic. Beds have all the right amenities like curtains (bottom bunks only, top have a bit of a fence for privacy), outlets, private lamps and fans. Beds were comfortable. Showers and restrooms were clean. Kitchen was fantastic, and laundry is free (be warned, it takes a long time for the drier). Staff are excellent.
