I stayed here when the first opened. I was pretty much homeless at the time and had enough money put together to stay somewhere and this place is well worth the $35 a night they charge. The employees were fantastic! Treated me with an abundance of kindness and went out of their way to help me with anything I needed. Very cool place. And the theme and decor was very educational and reminded me of the important things in life. Namely, my grandfather who I miss dearly, he was the chief of the North Little Rock Fire department before I was born and he rarely talked about it. So I read and took in all of the memories and artifacts from the LR fire department that were everywhere I looked. It helped me to know him better. It was if he were right beside me. I highly recommend staying more than one night if you can.

Fantastic hostel, very detailed lounge and cool history on the firehouse itself. I slept well and had no problems with checking out, super easy. There were friendly people I met. Clara, maci, and mach were all cool peeps who helped me on my stay. Also, big thanks to the manager working out my booking date error. Thanks for being a compassionate person! Would definitely book here again.

This is a great place and clean. You can see the nature also. There are ducks around the lake. It is not loud even though it is right in the middle of the city. Friendly, safe, well-managed. Safe, clean, good for solo travelers like myself, with an interesting mix of travelers. Little Rock is a bit quiet, and this was my experience of the hostel as well. There was lots of tourist info at the hostel, but there is also a pretty extensive visitor center that's quite close. Staff is great: attentive, professional, always available to help when needed. Kitchen only has a 2-burner electric counter rangetop-type thing, but I was able to prepare my meals without issue as I happened to be one of the only people who wanted to use the kitchen, mostly. Overall a great experience, and a solid example of the type of hostel I have come to expect from the HI network. Am planning on returning to explore more of the state and national parks in AR.

I had an awesome 2-night stay for my first hostel visit, and highly recommend the Firehouse Hostel & Museum! I stayed in the Captain's room, not the men's dorm, and it was great - clean, comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hostel's common areas with firehouse memorabilia, equipment, info and more were very cool. It's a short walk to downtown, with several pubs, restaurants, etc. only a few blocks away through the quiet neighborhood. The hostel has a few bikes that guests can borrow, too. The amazing re-imagined Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts just opened and is literally next door, along with the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History. I'm already recommending the Firehouse to my friends.

This place was great. I booked it last minute, like 10 minutes before getting there and it was in a great spot. It's right at the Fine Art Museum and a nice grassy park with a pond. It's not far from "Midtown" where there are plenty of bars and restaurants. Good food and live entertainment likely regularly. I stopped at several places. Everyone in the male dorm was running the Little Rock Marathon in the morning, but the staff was really cool about a relaxed check out schedule for everyone running. The place itself is just really cool too, with a really warm feeling, lot's to look at, and cozy seating. I'm so glad this place is available and so affordable.

The location is amazing, I honestly didn't know what to expect from a hostel but the other guests and staff were so friendly and I had a total blast. The staff didn't let you want or need for anything always asking for opportunities to go above and beyond. The history ofthe building is palatable the accommodations very comfortable, they even offer bikes to check out the parks and downtown they are located right in the middle of.I'm so glad I didn't book a traditional hotel for this trip I will be coming back!

We had our five year old's birthday party here, and it was a huge hit. I could not have decorated better myself, and the staff were so attentive. A real fire chief played games with the kids and even had a fire truck come by for the kids to explore. It was cold and rainy, but they made it all work so smoothly. 100% would recommend!!
