8 out of 10- super helpful staff, quiet, and very affordable. Biggest knocks against it was the mattresses were very thin and had plastic sheeting on them. Parking was plenty, but didn’t feel comfortable with any valuables in the car as location is a sparsely populated downtown area. Still- great value. Solid stay.

Amazing! This was a last minute booking for me. My niece got married in Baxuite. With it being so close to Christmas I had the entire place to myself. Host was phenomenal. It was the most unique Hostel I’ve stayed at, and if I’m ever in town again will definitely be staying here.

As a hostel experience, the place was clean and comfortable for the price. I was the only one there for the night so it was also very quiet. For a cheap and clean place I would choose to come again if I need a stopping point during my next road trip

Great option for a stay in Little Rock

Great option for inexpensive lodging convenient to all areas of Little Rock. Nicely situated by a large park and Performing Arts Center. We stayed in the Captain's room and the room had two sets of bunk beds, fridge, desk, and bathroom with a shower as well as individual boxes/lockers if people prefer to secure their belongings. Captain's Room is directly by the foyer/ entrance which could have noise or music if you're a light sleeper but everything was quiet by a reasonable hour. Hosts provided extra blankets when we were cold, Breakfast was bread and cereal but still something if you need it. Huge parking lot and easy to find Definitely recommend.

Firehouse Hostel was a very nice place to stay.

It was lovely. The only drawback was no wash cloths given and the person who checked me in gave me a ten minute speech about how to be good while I was there because one person who stayed there was a disaster. Really? He actually tried to admonish me like a child for something that someone else did.
