This has been our go-to hotel in Austin for decades, and it still delivers every time. Just a 10-minute walk from the heart of South Congress Avenue, the Bat Bridge, and Town Lake, it's perfectly positioned for exploring the city on foot. The extended-stay layout is ideal—spacious rooms with full kitchens make it feel like home, especially for longer trips. What really stands out is the staff: they’re genuinely helpful, going above and beyond to assist with package pickups, kitchen essentials, and even late checkouts when needed. In a city where prices keep rising, this place remains one of the few truly affordable options without sacrificing comfort or service. And don’t miss Sandy’s across the street—great food and a local favorite.

I especially enjoyed having my own private balcony; it was the perfect spot to relax with a morning coffee or enjoy the evening breeze.

Whether you're here for business or leisure, this place strikes the perfect balance between comfort, convenience, and affordability. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

I absolutely loved my stay at this Mint House! The place was spotless, well-organized, and matched the photos exactly—no surprises. The address was accurate, and the check-in instructions emailed beforehand were clear and reliable. The building staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating to my needs as a guest. What stood out most was how quiet it was—no noise from other guests late at night or early in the morning, which made for a peaceful and restful experience. I’d definitely book here again if I’m ever back in Austin. A great choice for anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and a calm atmosphere.
Staying in downtown Austin made this hotel a perfect choice for exploring the city—everything was within walking distance. The property is brand new, with modern design and clean, well-maintained rooms that felt fresh and inviting. My only disappointment was not knowing I needed to register as a member at check-in to receive complimentary water. I declined the registration initially, not realizing it was required even for such a small perk. Unfortunately, staff didn’t proactively explain the requirement, which felt a bit misleading. Also, I’m quite sensitive to noise, and the sound from the air conditioning unit kept me awake during the night. That said, overall my stay was still very positive. The location is unbeatable, the room was comfortable, and the attention to detail in the design stood out. I’d definitely consider returning, especially if they can improve on the quietness of the AC system.
Thompson Austin is an exceptional place to stay. The martini selection at the bar is outstanding, and the cuisine at Arribas delivers top-tier quality with bold, delicious flavors. Its location is perfect—just a half-block from Sixth Street means you're close to all the action yet enjoy a surprisingly quiet and private atmosphere. The ambiance is refined, the staff are attentive, and every detail feels thoughtfully curated. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Austin.
Staying at The Loren Hotel Austin was an absolute delight—this boutique gem in downtown Austin truly stands out. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was elegant yet welcoming. The bed was incredibly comfortable with plush linens, and I loved waking up to robes and slippers waiting for me. The room featured a Nespresso machine, plus a well-stocked mini-bar with premium snacks (though some items were paid). It’s quiet and thoughtfully designed, making it a perfect retreat after a busy day exploring the city. Valet parking was a big plus—no stress finding a spot. Every staff member we met was genuinely kind and attentive, creating a warm, personal touch throughout our stay. We only stayed one night, but it felt like a much longer getaway. I’d definitely recommend extending your visit to fully experience all the hotel has to offer—luxury, comfort, and charm in every detail.
I stayed at Tommie Austin, and I have to say it was an excellent experience overall. The room was comfortable and well-designed, with a nice balance of modern style and cozy touches. The staff went above and beyond—always smiling, helpful, and genuinely attentive. I especially appreciated how welcoming they were throughout my stay. The amenities are top-notch: the coffee bar offers great brews, and the on-site diner serves delicious breakfast options. My only small suggestion would be extending the hours for the coffee bar and restaurant a bit later in the evening—since I returned late, I’d have loved a quick bite or coffee before bed. That said, everything else was perfect. Great location, easy access to downtown Austin, and fantastic value for money. Definitely planning to come back.
The East Austin Hotel is perfectly located for exploring the city—great for walking around and checking out local spots. The neighborhood is vibrant and safe, with plenty of cafes, restaurants, and shops just steps away. Our room was clean, modern, and quiet, making it a relaxing retreat after a busy day of sightseeing. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend this hotel for travelers who want convenience, comfort, and a true local vibe.
The stay was a major disappointment. The room was poorly cleaned—dirty towels, no soap, and sticky floors made the experience unpleasant. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. Despite the appealing photos online, the actual property looked nothing like the images, which made the overall impression even worse. The location is quite isolated—feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere, with limited access to public transport or nearby attractions. It’s not worth the price, especially considering the lack of basic cleanliness and comfort. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent urban stay. Definitely not something I’d consider returning to.
