It was my first time in a hostel and needless to say, I loved it. The bed was clean, loved the kitchen area and restrooms were separate and extremely tidy. A few notes might be either adding curtains for the top bunks as well or maybe a small light like the fans. Thanks again. Enjoy your visit.

Firehouse Hostel was a fantastic place to stay! The location is perfect—right in the heart of everything, with easy access to great bars, food, and live music. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere had a fun, welcoming vibe. The historic building adds a lot of charm, and the hidden speakeasy behind the bookshelf was such a cool touch. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, and great value. Would definitely stay here again!
