At&T Hotel & Conference Center

Staying at the AT&T Hotel & Conference Center located right on the University of Texas at Austin campus was a wonderful experience. The quiet, peaceful atmosphere made it feel like a true retreat, yet everything I needed was just a short walk away—dining spots, shopping areas, and popular attractions were all easily accessible. The location is unbeatable, nestled in the heart of campus with plenty of greenery and a calm vibe. Parking costs $21, which is a bit steep, but given how convenient the spot is and how close it is to everything, it's totally justified. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations—highly recommend for anyone visiting Austin, especially students, travelers, or business guests looking for a serene yet central base.

Hotel Ella

The valets were incredibly courteous and thoughtful with our vehicle—truly appreciated. Carolyn at the front desk helped me navigate the platform’s check-in system, making my room switch seamless and stress-free. The pool area is absolutely fantastic—relaxing, well-maintained, and perfect for unwinding. We’ve been coming back to Hotel Ella ever since we could travel again after the pandemic, and it still feels like home. There’s a real sense of warmth and hospitality here that’s hard to find elsewhere. Thank you for such a welcoming stay—we’ll definitely be back.

Super 8 by Wyndham Austin University/Downtown Area

I stayed for three nights and couldn’t be happier with my experience! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained—perfect for a quick getaway. Located just minutes from downtown Austin, I had easy access to restaurants, shops, and local attractions. The staff went above and beyond with their friendliness and helpfulness—always smiling, ready to assist, and making me feel welcome. It’s rare to find such a welcoming atmosphere at a budget-friendly hotel, and I truly appreciate the attention to detail. I’ll definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin.

Scottish Inns Austin Downtown

Our stay at Scottish Inns Austin Downtown was disappointing, to say the least. We were shocked to find numerous baby roaches in the bathroom—definitely not what you expect from a hotel. The sink had major drainage issues; as soon as we turned on the water, it started flooding within seconds. The bathtub floor was cracked in several places, and the shower curtain rod was half broken, making it impossible to keep the curtain closed. Water constantly spilled onto the floor, creating a slippery mess. The sheets and blankets were in terrible condition—covered in small burn marks and tears, clearly showing years of neglect. There were also multiple poorly patched areas on the walls, indicating past damage that was never properly repaired. Overall, the room felt extremely run-down. It was only barely worth the low rate we paid. If we’d known about the condition beforehand, we definitely would’ve chosen a different place. For travelers looking for cleanliness and comfort, this property isn’t recommended.

Commodore Perry Estate, Auberge Resorts Collection

This is my second visit to this hotel, and I’m just as impressed as the first time. The staff are genuinely warm and always ready to help with anything—from recommendations to check-in assistance. The property has a wonderfully intimate feel, beautifully decorated with elegant touches throughout. It’s not located right in the heart of downtown Austin, which makes it perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful retreat away from the noise and crowds. That said, there’s often live music on certain evenings—depending on the schedule—which adds a lovely local vibe. Everything about this place feels refined and thoughtfully curated. If you value quiet luxury and authentic charm, this is definitely the spot. A truly memorable stay.

The Otis Hotel Austin, Autograph Collection

I stayed at The Otis Hotel Austin, Autograph Collection during a conference in downtown Austin, and the experience was outstanding. The exterior looks unassuming, but stepping into the lobby reveals a popular local bar that’s packed every evening—great vibe and lively atmosphere. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic: two complimentary main dishes, a dessert, and free beverages (available only with breakfast-inclusive room rates). Portions were generous—so much so I couldn’t finish everything. The views at night are spectacular—direct sightlines to the downtown skyline, plus a rooftop pool and lounge with expansive, open-air vistas. It’s perfect for unwinding after a long day. Cleanliness and overall ambiance were top-notch. The only minor downside? No toothbrush or toothpaste provided—had to pick them up at front desk—and the toothbrush felt a bit rough in quality. Still, these small details don’t take away from an excellent stay. Highly recommend for business travelers or anyone looking for a stylish, well-located spot in Austin.

It’s just steps away from local cafes, restaurants, and shops, and public transit is easily accessible. I was impressed by how spotless everything was throughout my stay. For the quality and convenience, it’s definitely worth returning to.

Staying at this hotel was a breeze—perfectly quiet yet still just a 20-minute drive from all the downtown action. The location offers a nice balance: peaceful surroundings with plenty of nearby options for dining and exploring, without feeling too far from the city’s pulse. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. It’s an ideal choice if you’re looking for a relaxed getaway with easy access to everything Austin has to offer. Definitely worth returning to.

The location is excellent, right in the heart of the University Area, making it super convenient for exploring downtown Austin via public transit. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable, with a great bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. Free Wi-Fi was fast and reliable—perfect for work or streaming.
