Top South Congress Avenue Hotel Reviews

Aiden Austin City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, the room was clean, staff helpful, and friendly. The property safe and close to everything. The breakfast was probably the best from any hotels I've been to and price wise very good, and if I come to the area again I'll will be back. If any complaints is the bathroom is smaller than normal but everything else was wonderful. I didn't have food from restaurant but breakfast was the best."

Holiday Inn Austin -Town Lake by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was great. The only thing I will say is checking in they ask your reason for staying and that made me kind of uncomfortable. My partner and I were just doing a weekend over night trip to go to Alamo draft house and it just seemed invasive. They also asked about my marital status which I also thought was weird. A note on the elevators is that the one on the pool side tower. Left lift seemed to not be functioning correctly and had us waiting for a long time to get to the lobby as it seemed to not want to go down. I didn’t see any indication of elevator maintenance check which I usually do in most public elevators framed inside the lift."

Fairmont Austin

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay in the Fairmont was wonderful from start to finish. Would highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Austin."

The Code Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the first time I stayed at the Code and my first time staying on the south side of Austin. The unit is huge with full kitchen, living area, bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet. It also has a full washer and dryer. It’s great for longer stays."

Hyatt House Austin/Downtown

Hotel San Jose
