We went out in the town during the day and at night. The manager/owner of the property charged us a ridiculous amount of money because "we threw a football threw a shed." We did not even have a football and the "shed" in the back yard was falling apart as is. Then we were charged for a camera that had gone missing. 1) we never saw a camera and 2) why would you leave your camera at your house that you are renting? smart. Lastly, he charged us for a broken door which was broken when we arrived. We noticed it but didn't think anything of it thinking the owner already new about it since it was there apon arrival. I feel he took advantage of us just because we used the words bachelor party. We were there a total of probably 15 hours the entire long weekend and it was all just to sleep. If you do stay here take pictures of everything because he will nickel and dime you for everything. whether you did it or not. I would suggest staying somewhere else.

We also had 8 sharing one bathroom which was a bit much for morning time when everyone started waking up around the same time. I have never stayed in East Austin before, and I loved my experience here! Plenty of good eating a nightlife options within walking distance. I had no issues with safety while there. It is a great option for solo travelers from everywhere. There are only mixed dorm rooms (no single sex), so if you feel uncomfortable with that, then it may not be the best place. I had no issue with it besides the bathroom being a little messier (oh messy guys). Brent, the hostel owner, is awesome and a great host! He took a bunch of us out to some of the best local bars.

I arrived at the Austin Greyhound station late one Monday night, called some guy named Connor to…read morecome pick me up. Fifteen, or so, minutes later, he rolls up in an 80's tan, striped, Dodge Ram van. Already, Austin was living up to expectation. I had no idea where we were headed, I just knew I was along for the ride as he conducted an informal meet-and-great driving along I-35. Having traveled some distance to Austin, it was great to have such a comfortable place to shower and crash. The follow morning, I awoke to an omelet and freshly brewed coffee. The following evening, everyone at the house piled into the Ram and Connor took us out for a night on the town, featuring donut burgers, blues music, two-step dancing, and half-priced Texas beer. Over the next two weeks, I enjoyed impromptu barbeques, bonfires, and living room concerts, and met a rotation of interesting people: a young man working his way across the States selling children's books door-to-door, a culinary queen from upstate Wisconsin, a friendly cab driver visiting from Long Island, a lighthearted deckhand on leave, a Dutch mother-daughter team enjoying a Texas-style holiday, and the British people... who charmed us all! The hostel is in a great location. There are coffee shops, co-ops and natural food markets, bookstores, bike shops, convinces stores, and local restaurants all within walking distance, and it's a short bus ride to get downtown. Best of all is the FREE, warm, spring-fed neighborhood pool nearby. Uber Sleeper Hostel & Breakfast is the epitome of what a hostel should be! If you are looking for a laid-back spot from which to discover Austin, share good meals and good times with open-minded people, and experience true Texas independence and hospitality, whether your stay is long, or short, then this alternative lodging community is the place to be. Thanks Connor, for creating good times and friendly communion, for all the creative encouragement and inspiration, and for a memorable stay!

Stay and die or leave and live. It's that simple this place should be shut down. I called and…read morespoke with the manager of the place and he told me all about the rooms, rules and of course different houses they have. I arrived later on that night and I was shocked, but I'm not judgemental so I looked for a place to park, which was very difficult since its on the street parking and then I walked to the front door and just walked in no one there to greet you or even speak to you. After walking all over the house I went to the backyard and they were having a concert in the back. The manager greeted me and walked me over to the other house where he had rooms.This is where it got scary there were men everywhere sitting on the couch in the kitchen and they looking really desperate for a woman. This hostel was the dirtiest one I have ever seen. The floors, walls, furniture, refrigerator, kitchen were filthy. The beds looked like they were there when they moved in. I did not stick around for the any surprises I just left.

"i already spent that s**t", says ray. none of his tenants got a dollar back from him. i could go on and on, but trust me when i say this place is a scam and ray is a joke. Please don't even consider this as a last option.

On a recent trip to Austin my girlfriends and I stayed at the Hyatt Place in downtown…read more The hotel is located in a central location so its a quick walk to some spots, as well as a pretty central spot to hop into an uber from. Our room had two double beds and was huge - perfect for three girls sharing a space. It had a lounge area with a couch as well as a desk. The bathroom was also spacious and nice with good shower products. One thing I will say is that the air conditioning is VERY loud. I shared a bed with my friend that wasn't directly in front of it, but our other friend in the "tundra" was pretty uncomfortable during the night because it was both cold and loud. Other than that, I enjoyed this hotel. They are so kind to give you free water every time you walk in, which is great!

My boyfriend and I booked a private room for a week here, we couldn't wait to leave by the time we…read moredid. The first thing that raised annoyance was the extra $5 we were charged for pick up from downtown. Even on the website it says $5, when I spoke to Connor before we left for the trip we reiterated $5 but on the day before he told me $10. Not wanting to argue over $5 for the sake of peace in the new place we were staying we let this slide. The only description correct about this house is that it's located literally beside the highway, we expected to be surrounded by nature trails and places we could bike and hike. Upon introduction to the home Connor pointed out all the things near to us. Nothing really close unless you're happy to walk ab 20 minutes. Nature trails... forget it. It's at least a ten minute drive. We were aware of other guests arrival on the weekend and discovered all the other rooms had been booked out, we guess he hadn't saved a room for himself because he put us in the awkward position of asking if we wanted people in our private room. We did not. As it turned out his partner was visiting and we think there lack of space may have shifted his mood toward us as we were due to be the longest staying. The doors are all locked with a code, but this didn't stop our host from violating our privacy and on several occasions we noticed he had been in our room while we weren't there. We really just wanted some privacy so we could enjoy time together but we felt like we were annoying him in his own home so we'd leave for as long as we could without being exhausted. One day we did try to relax but the internet stopped working, only once he went to "run an errand" was it connecting again (bill troubles or just general lack of awareness and organisation?). The public spaces didn't feel shareable. The breakfast nook was covered in ants every single morning. We found cockroaches in our room on several occasions, the air conditioning duct is left exposed. The bedding isn't the best, we struggled to stay warm and covered by the blankets. We are smokers, we enjoyed sitting outside for longer periods of time and we did enjoy a few puffs with Conor but on the whole it just felt uncomfortable. I just feel if you're offering your private space in this manner to have somewhere for himself. On our last night my boyfriend went out into the living room to find him naked barely covered by a towel. He played music loudly at his own discretion yet barked at my boyfriend when he played music shaving in the bathroom. Granted it was late but I couldn't hear the music what awoke me was Connor yelling. It really felt like he didn't want people in his home, or like he did but only if you gave him tons of your time. We felt obligated to make lots of chat when we were exhausted and just wanted to be left alone. In the end we didn't even take him up on his offer of a ride to he airport. We couldn't bear it so we paid for an uber (although i suspect he would have tried to get us to pay him something had we not). All in all I wouldn't describe this place as a quaint bed and breakfast. I would describe it as a lonely mans eclectic cheaply furnished and decorated home located on a highway in Deep South austin. I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone looking to have any romantic getaways.

Upon arrival we were informed that our room was not only not ready, but they were "sold out" of double queens. Imagine my confusion as at had not reserved this room, I PREPAID for it. We were offered a King room with a fold out and a $75 credit at the bar which I begrudgingly accepted. So off to the bar we went. As we attempted to close out at the bar we were informed that we could not use the credit offered because our room had not been entered into the system. Credit was useless, I paid the tab and went to dinner. Came back 2 hours later, room still not ready. It is now 4 hours past check in time. I ask for a manager and at this point getting upset. Manager appears and threatens to throw me out. At this point I give up, go to the room that I don't want and call Amex to deal with the issue. I have stayed at the Driskill well over a dozen times thru out the years and I am really disappointed that this experience has ruined all of the good memories. Sadly it will be my last stay. I've had better treatment at a Super 8. Hyatt has really ruined a true Texas landmark with this sloppy management and poor customer service.

There's a Michelin-mentioned restaurant on the premises. They gave us a daily allotment to spend at the restaurant. The room had a comfortable mattress, a strange bathroom setup that was missing a ceiling in the bathroom, so the shower opened up to the bedroom. Eh, it worked. The place felt safe and secure. There are locking gates to get into the premises, but the one by the pool was broken. The lobby doubled as a weird Austin t-shirt shop. Meowdy! The staff was nice.
