The Eastside Lodge Austin
This place exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I felt right at home. The room was cozy and thoughtfully designed—super comfy bed, inviting living area that made me want to just stay put, and a seamless wireless audio system that made entertaining guests a breeze. Everything was clean, modern, and well-maintained. No complaints at all—just pure relaxation from start to finish. The location is great, quiet but still close to everything, and the staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. If you're looking for a stylish, comfortable stay in Austin with that personal touch, this is it. I’ll definitely be back.
Sonder at the Catherine
Staying at Sonder at the Catherine was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from downtown Austin, making it super easy to explore the city without needing to drive. Everything I needed was right there: meals, laundry, and even a Starbucks right next door. I started my mornings with a coffee from the nearby café, which made the whole experience feel so convenient and cozy. All communication was handled through the app, which I appreciated for its efficiency and clarity. It’s rare to find a place that’s both practical and comfortable, but this one nails it. With such great value and a fantastic central spot, I’d definitely stay here again.
Kasa Downtown Austin
We absolutely loved staying at Kasa Downtown Austin—the location was perfect, right above Jo’s on 2nd Street! The apartment itself was spacious and offered a fantastic view from the balcony, making it feel like a real home away from home. Being right in the heart of downtown Austin meant we were within walking distance of nearly every attraction, restaurant, and activity we wanted to explore. The only hiccup was that the living room TV couldn’t connect to Wi-Fi, so streaming wasn’t possible—but the bedroom TV worked flawlessly, and honestly, we weren’t there to binge-watch anyway. Everything about check-in, moving around the property, and checkout was clearly laid out with simple written instructions and helpful labels. The concierge team responded quickly via text when we had an issue, and they were genuinely helpful. If you prefer face-to-face interactions, this might not be your ideal choice—but for us, the contactless experience was a major plus. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful during our midweek visit, with minimal street noise or crowds. And the best part? The pricing felt incredibly fair for what we got—great value for money, especially given the central location and modern amenities.
Kasa Lady Bird Lake Austin
This place was perfect for our group of two couples traveling together—spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The location is unbeatable; right in the heart of Austin with easy access to downtown, restaurants, and local attractions. The pool area is a real highlight—well-maintained, peaceful, and great for unwinding after a busy day. The gym is modern and equipped with everything we needed. Everything about this stay exceeded expectations, and we’d definitely book again. A top-tier experience from start to finish.
Hyatt House Austin/Downtown
We stayed here for our son’s graduation ceremony, and the hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our visit, making us feel right at home. Located just a short walk from the state capitol, it’s perfect for guests who want to explore downtown Austin without hassle. We booked a corner suite with a small kitchenette—ideal for relaxing, chatting, or grabbing a quick snack with family whenever we felt like it. The space was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Everything about this stay felt convenient and comfortable. Highly recommend this hotel for families or anyone looking for a quiet, well-located retreat in the heart of Austin.

I especially appreciated the American-style breakfast, which was simple but satisfying—hot coffee, fresh pastries, and a few classic options that hit the spot. It’s clear the team put effort into creating a welcoming atmosphere from day one. Plus, being just steps away from public transit makes exploring downtown Austin super convenient. A solid choice if you’re looking for a stylish, no-fuss stay in a growing neighborhood.
Residence Inn Austin-University Area
The hotel is exceptionally clean—every corner, from the lobby to the room, feels fresh and well-maintained. The bedding was comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep, and the location is perfect for exploring the University Area. 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.
Sonder East 5th Apartments East Austin
The property matched the description perfectly. Spotlessly clean and incredibly convenient for a family of four. Its location is ideal—close to local restaurants, attractions, and everything Austin has to offer. We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed exploring the city, which is a must-visit stop on any Texas road trip. The only downside was parking—available in the building but at an extra cost. It’s worth noting if you’re driving, so plan accordingly. Despite that, the overall experience was excellent, and we’d definitely return.

Absolutely loved our stay at this fantastic hotel! Located just steps away from 6th Street, we had endless dining options right at our doorstep—perfect for a quick bite or a full night out.

Extended Stay America Suites - Austin - Downtown - Town Lake
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.
