Hostelling International-Austin

Frommer's Review

Youth-, nature-, and Internet-oriented Austin goes all out for its hostellers at this winning facility, located on the hike-and-bike trail, with views of Town Lake that many would pay through the nose to get. Amenities not only include the standard laundry room and kitchen, but also a high-speed Internet kiosk (with a meager $1 fee per stay), not to mention the fact that the grounds are Wi-Fi (un)wired, too. The building, which once served as a boathouse, is solar paneled, and other eco-friendly features include low-flow shower heads. The entire hostel shares one bath and shower area.

Facilities:
Kayak rentals; bike rentals; Internet kiosk; wi-fi; co-op laundry; kitchen; courtesy phone (local calls)
