Top Downtown Austin Hotel Reviews

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Location is great! The hotel is clean, quiet, well-run and the staff is all very friendly and professional. Valet parking makes it easy too."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Austin Downtown South Congress

6/10 Okay

"The staff was not the friendliest or welcoming at front desk, there was some Maintenance or other thing being done so the entire breakfast, table & chair area was closed off. We did not eat breakfast on site either day. There was only 2 bags of hot tea, both earl gray , and staff said they had no more tea on the premises. Our room smelled musty and damp and I had to use our body spray to make it pleasant. For the price of stay for 2 nights I expected better. "

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Austin Capitol / Downtown

2/10 Terrible

"Room was not very clean, bathroom was dirty and had a urine smell. Air conditioner did not function correctly and the main room was not very clean as well. Parking structure was dirty as well. Stayed 20 mins and left the property to another stay at another hotel."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG

6/10 Okay

"The entrance to holiday inn is no longer there, the hotel is merged with the indigo. Most ride shares drop you at the old entrance and you need to walk with your luggage down a hill. The room was okay, a little weathered, toilet seat loose, things just worn. Also there was no guide for the tv, which would be helpful for out of town visitors. Just a mid price nothing special hotel. "

Hotel Van Zandt

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and fairly quiet but we had to keep calling the desk or housekeeping to get items like towels, coffee, soaps as they would not consistently restock. Food selection was minimal at the restaurant and difficult to get attention from bartenders and servers. Pool area was very small and there was no shuttle service. Also put 150$ per night surcharge on your card which they won't tell you about ahead of time - more than luxury resorts we've stayed at! The resort fee was 45$ per day and doesn't include much beyond pool access and one free drink. The location and decor were the upsides. "
