8.0 Very Good
Pros:Cheap price for a room.
Cons:It's a hostel. It is what it is.
A
9.4 Wonderful
Pros:Basically everything. The facilities themselves aren’t ASTOUNDING but I’ve definitely had much worse. The staff was INCREDIBLE. Almost immediately felt like I was staying with close friends or family and not at a hostel. The atmosphere was great and everything was kept clean. And it’s lovated right in the heart of Austin. Walking distance to Kerby Lane and Torchy’s Tacos. I highly recommend both! Thanks again for the hospitality guys!
Cons:Squatting in the shower so the water would hit my head!
A
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Whether you are staying one night or one month, Drifter Jacks is the most affordable and comfortable place you can stay! Perfect for solo travelers and groups, the location is close enough to attractions and sits right on a major bus route. I stayed for a week and was comfortable the entire trip. Ethan and Jaime were especially wonderful hosts, however the entire staff was friendly and courteous. Coffee and tea were available 24 hours and breakfast was available every morning which was a huge bonus, especially since the nightly rate was so low! Can't wait to stay again, I will be recommending Drifter Jack's to all my friends traveling to Austin!
