Review of Travis County Jail

The details of this Hostel were not clearly advert...

The details of this Hostel were not clearly advertised on the app I used, but the staff were surprisingly accommodating for the guests that had good attitudes despite being disappointed after the initial tour.

The ad claimed to have single beds in cozy rooms , which was true, but the ensuite toilet was also installed 3 feet from the head of the bed....and the drinking water fountain was connected to the same piping used to flush the toilet. It also failed to mention the initial mandatory communal sleepover .

The all inclusive meals were just 4 pieces of bread, 2 slices of cheese, and 3 slices of bologna, a small bag of chips, and an apple. A small apple. The only vegetarian option was to not eat the meat. The community bathroom smelled strongly of urine upon arrival and we had to dress up in outdated, striped pajamas for the duration of our stay. They have a VERY STRICT NO cancellation and NO early check out policy.

The worst part was that some of the other guests were very loud and it was bothersome at times, but 14 hours later (or it could ve been 14 months, there s no concept of time there), it didn t matter cause I was able to check out, but I did lose my deposit.

All in all, I d say the weight loss almost made it worth it. Almost.
