Absolutely love this Marriott Flag and this new property is stunning! Connected to The Otis, there is a fantastic bar/restaurant and if you happen to be in to bourbon, you are in for a treat. Benjamin was tending bar during my visit and he was just awesome. I was so grateful to be able to have a drink indoors and having such a kind bartender made my evening feel like Christmas.
The property is spotless and the rooms well appointed. My room has everything I need while traveling for business. The bed is comfortable and the linens fresh and clean. I should also note that the young woman at reception was also super welcoming and professional.
We spent a perfect week in March here, just after the historic snow and freeze. We were met by friendly staff each day who helped us sort out laundry, replaced what we needed by way of towels in a way that kept the current reality of our pandemic times in mind. The Courtyard room with the enclosed patio overlooking the lounge area and pool was perfect for working in the day and enjoying take out from the many, many tasty restaurants within an easy walk. Jo’s for coffee, tea, donuts, breakfast tacos, and much more was also super nice and handy. Thanks for making our week lovely.
This hotel is really good and recommended by me. The location is very central and close to where you can find several bars and restaurants. The total impression of the hotel is great. The entrance area is nice and comfortable with permanent fresh water for guests. The receptionists are friendly and helpful. There is no complain that I have about this hotel. I strongly recommend staying here!
This was easily my favorite hotel stay ever!! Found them by happy accident and after speaking to them on the phone I happily booked a room for myself, my friend and my pup. Their customer service absolutely made this stay: they are polite, friendly and very attentive. The room was gorgeous and clean, and the building itself has a parisian-era charm that was perfect. Will absolutely stay here again when I'm in town! Thank you Hotel Ella!
Great, except day 1 no water, say 2 onwards no pool, no shower screen/ curtain for those who like to keep their showers from splashing into the bathroom.. what makes a 4/5 star hotel? The happy hour is good!
I had the pleasure of working with Sara and the staff at the South Congress Hotel this past Friday for a wedding reception. It's a beautiful space with plenty of room for a ceremony and reception. Sara was organized and very helpful throughout the event. As a bandleader, I appreciated the ease of load in/out for our team. Looking forward to working with this fine venue again soon.
This place is spectacular and a hidden gem near South Congress. It’s a luxury boutique hotel built into the trees. Their attention to details is phenomenal and it’s sparkly clean in all public and private areas. Free parking! Who has that??? We walked to the Lady Bird Lake trail, Congress, the Capitol and even UT!
Lovely all around! Complimentary beer upon check in was a nice welcome, haha. The bar is great and so is the food. Very lively. Great place to meet locals and travelers alike!
For starters, the price point of this magnificent piece of Austin history is unbeatable. The location is perfect. Staff is super friendly. Now let’s get down to the serious stuff. Dude, the bed in our room was the most comfortable bed I’ve had in a hotel/motel. I from herniated discs and wake up in pain ever morning. Not during our stay! Pillows are excellent as well. Water pressure was like standing under the biggest waterfall. Until this weekend I hadn’t stayed here in twenty years. It’s definitely my top pick for lodging in Austin!
Friendly staff, well maintained and very clean. The location worked well for getting to the places we wanted to go. Definitely the place to stay at during my next trip to Austin.
Awesome hotel. Easy check in and and check out process. Gorgeous industrial but minimalistic style in a cool little neighborhood with everything you’d need, restaurants, a market, etc. Complimentary self parking for guests! This place is a hidden gem! I can’t wait to return!
This is one of our local favorites!! We stay here every year and love each visit. The staff are warm and welcoming, and insanely knowledgeable about the area, places to eat/drink etc. Every detail is thought out. The rooms have a modern and homey vibe. The boutique vibe means it's always quiet and clean, and feels like a little home away from home. I never like other mattresses than my own but these are fantastic. I always sleep so well! The bathrooms in the upgraded rooms are amazing (and worth the upgrade)!!! I always love a good bathtub and these do not disappoint. We love the location and East Austin area in general, and how community focussed the Heywood Hotel is.
Warning:Extremely Clean!! =)
During our most recent stay (during pandemic) I was in awe (but not surprised) at how above and beyond they went with cleaning measures. We've had a few other stays during the pandemic at various places and nothing compares to this. If you are looking for a getaway you want to feel safe about and also genuinely enjoy, look no further.
Beautiful hotel with a number of dining options and in close proximity to many great restaurants/bars. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Line. The hotel was tastefully decorated and the room included high quality amenities/toiletries. We were able to try the coffee shop, taco shop (tried it 3x), and Saturday brunch. Pets are allowed so if you're not an animal lover I would take that into consideration before booking. We would definitely stay here again.
Will be back! Fabulous fun modern decor, incredibly clean, such an attention to detail. A hand written note awaited us when we got in our room with two stemless wine glasses and water bottles. High quality bedding, towels, bathroom was very luxurious. Louie the cat was so friendly and even came in to relax with us in our room, we love cats and called him inside. It was hilarious to watch him make himself at home! This locally owned gem is amazing can’t wait to come back!
Extremely friendly service. Mike was so sweet and accommodating. The water in the shower was out so we were given another beautiful view of the pool and city and free parking. The details throughout the hotel were exceptional. We were at walking distance to our favorite restaurant, Suerte. Such a stylish, wonderfully built hotel with a pool and fireplace.
This place was awesome! The decor was spot on. The place was very clean and had a good open feel to it. The beds were amazing. All the windows letting light in was great. The historic neighborhood was really cool, and surprisingly quiet. The original Austin High School is next door which is now ACC. Walking distance to Shoal Creek trail that takes you right into downtown with plenty of restaurants, bars, and patios to hang out at was convenient. The Capitol building is just a few blocks away. The community kitchen and dining area had everything you needed to cook your own food and plenty of seating for guests to still have their own spot. Complimentary coffee that can be made in a French press in the morning was a nice touch. The sweet owners are hands on and we're also staying there during our visit. They always made sure we were having a great stay while there and made sure we didn't need anything. The only thing I would give the heads up on is that if you're coming with guests, the bedrooms don't have any doors or curtains for privacy. I'm sure it's to create that open feel, so if that's not a big deal, I would definitely recommend this place.
Wonderful historic hotel located close to the Capitol and walking distance to so many other destinations.
The 1886 Bakery / Restaurant is great for breakfast. They even have Texas shaped Belgian waffles!
We have always wanted to stay here, so we recently splurged for our anniversary.
It was well worth it.
The service is excellent and everyone is very friendly.
It was a wonderful experience! Due to the pandemic there wasn’t many people but it made me feel even safer. Michael, the bartender, was delightful and engaging. He also introduced my partner and I to some very inspiring drinks. It actually quite surprising that they aren’t on the menu yet. I personally know very little about Italian food but apron delivery the chef was happy to explain the plates. The presentation was not only beautiful but delicious. Rosie and I will most definitely be there again!
My girlfriend and I heard about Hotel Magdalena through a personal recommendation and decided to book back in late January to escape NYC to some warmer weather. Little did we know that there would be a snow storm on top of the pandemic only a couple of weeks before we arrived!
Nonetheless, our stay at the hotel was excellent, we really like the decor and found the rooms to be really comfortable, the beds fantastic and overall very happy with our stay, and the staff.
We loaned a couple of the hotels bikes and while they needed minor servicing, they got us around town comfortably and for free! The restaurant at the hotel is popular and really nicely laid out, it feels like a nice hideaway. The pool is heated and you need to reserve but we did take a dip, it was perfect.
We did experience a little bit of noise from nearby construction (not in the hotel) which was pretty well solved with some earplugs. Great hotel, highly recommend!
I try to keep this list very up to date. It was last edited in January 2024. You can help me make this page better, for example by letting me know of a hipster hotel that should be on the list. Click here to get in touch. Thanks!
