Austin, Tx. I have a personal list of expectations for a hotel and this place did well: Comfortable bed, yes it was very good. A thin pillow was available. Noise levels to a minimum, pretty good considering all the street music blaring on 6th. No plumbing noises at all, some footsteps seemingly from above which is confusing because we were on the top floor. Easy to use thermostat, yes. AC is quiet. Hot shower, well not quite. The water needs to be upped a few degrees. Parking, yes there is ample covered parking but it is run by a separate company and it is going to cost you. Cleanliness, very clean. Bonus: Staff replenishes water bottles daily. The pool temp is very good and pool is open til 10 pm. read more

East Austin Hotel - Entrance - Hotels Near Me - Austin, Texas

I walked into my "hotel" room and immediately called my booking agent assist me in getting a full refund. DO NOT BE FOOLED, these are hostels, with SHARED hallway bathrooms!!!! The "cabin" I was booked in has no bathroom and looks like a dorm. I'm livid that the front desk refuses to answer my call or the booking agent's call. read more

Chill by the pool! This is a nice, cozy hotel with a great location right on East 6th Street. The vibe is mid-century modern, with each room having a view of the pool! This hotel isn't exactly quiet. There's a DJ that shows up some weekdays, in the evening, the music bumps into the night. Don't come here for peace and quiet. There's a Michelin-mentioned restaurant on the premises. They gave us a daily allotment to spend at the restaurant. The room had a comfortable mattress, a strange bathroom setup that was missing a ceiling in the bathroom, so the shower opened up to the bedroom. Eh, it worked. The place felt safe and secure. There are locking gates to get into the premises, but the one by the pool was broken. The lobby doubled as a weird Austin t-shirt shop. Meowdy! The staff was nice. The maids came and cleaned every day. The place was kept up and nice. I'd love to return! read more

The service was good and the hotel itself was nice and so is the location. I wish the bathroom had an actual door, as the bathroom with shower had a sliding door and the area between the shower and bedroom was open so steam would easily escape, and then there is an additional sliding door for the toilet. Any noises and smells are felt for the whole room, as 2 sliding doors does absolutely nothing. The bed was fine and the place seemed clean. The bar was a vibe and the cafe was a nice little treat. I loved that the avocado toast had salsa verde on it, it really brought the dish together and made it perfect for Austin. read more

So happy with our stay at this hotel. We usually stay at more common brand hotels just to ensure the quality is good but I'm glad we took a risk here since it was well worth it! The vibe is so cute throughout the hotel and in our room. Would love to stay here again! Only suggestion is heating the pool because it was as cold as an ice bath! My kid and I could barely go in for more than a couple of seconds because it was so freezing. Mind you the days we were there the weather at most ranged from 13-31C (56-88F) Also since the pool is placed in the middle of the hotel at ground floor, the sun never reaches it and only goes on part of the tanning chairs for about 2 hours or so in the afternoon. Regardless we would still stay here again, great location walking distance to everything! read more

Great hotel located on 6th Street. It's very affordable, has a pool and allows for pets. Heads up, parking is $34 but it's in a garage which is nice. read more

This place is the best! The room was very clean, and cute. The staff were very friendly, we got room service on a Saturday during a busy party and it was still super fast delivery and tasty. You can also get bar drinks with room service. This hotel has the best vibes, and food. We will be staying here every trip to Austin! You can't beat the location, walking distance to everything fun on east sixth, and groceries are a 5 minute walk. As some have mentioned the music is loud at the pool sometimes, that might not be for everyone . We liked it, that's what we came here for, a good time in a fun area. read more

This hotel is a well-kept secret, a true delight and well-priced. Great vibes. The staff was helpful and friendly and the room was decorated very much like in Dwell Magazine. Nice thick towels, modern bathroom and comfy bed. Spotless with great bathroom. Each Christmas when I visit my brother's family in Austin I try different hotels. This was the best in the past 7 years!I'm on a budget and was surprised by how nice East Austin Hotel was for the money. It's unassuming from the street but once inside the view down from the rooms to the pool is lovely. They're working on bringing their rooftop bar back into service. Once they do, it looks like an amazing place to hang out with a grand view of Austin. read more

I absolutely forgot this hotel was communal when we booked so it was a confusing minute that our bathrooms were outside the room. It was a different experience and we honestly enjoyed it. They were clean and never crowded and have handicapped bathroom/showers. The room was cozy. Our particular building didn't have an elevator, only stairs but the building surrounding the pool did. So if you need those accommodations, it might be best to book over the phone instead of a third party (Hotels, Expedia, etc.) to make sure you get a room in a building with the elevator. The courtyard had an outside bar but they're seasonal but still relaxing place to be. And there's a restaurant connected to the hotel but the street has late night businesses and bars if you want something later. They have a parking garage that's $30ish dollars for a night and with in and out access. If you don't mind dorm style or open to a non-traditional hotel, this place is cute! I will say the night we stayed, there's a THC truck outside that was playing music. We were able to fall asleep but keep ear plugs handy if you're a light sleeper. read more

Hostel, a step above Motel, def not Hotel Great location for accessing local culture, amazing food, doggies and kind neighbors, and a walk away from any bar, store or gym you're looking for as an urban living lover. Decent room sizes and adequate amenities, in house restaurant, pool, etc. Cleanliness is great and while the value can't be measured by the price, but more the quality you're looking to have, I was happy at my first visit for work. Cons: The most horrendous customer service experience I have ever had. The work trip was very last minute extended to several more days and I was able to get another room transfer by the evening before check-out. Picked up the new keys with all good intent to move my luggage into the new room downstairs after getting dinner at 9 pm. I worked until 7 and had to shower, pack, and get food before, however, I was so tired I fell asleep on my bed around 9:30. I woke up around 2-3 am to an endless ringing from the hotel phone, it was so bizarre and intrusive and I was so disoriented I just turned over and fell back to sleep. When I went to ask the front desk person the following morning why this happened, he told me quite unkindly that I had several complaints from neighbors downstairs about my heavy footsteps that woke them up at "5-6 am." I told him that I am referring to a call that actually had occurred quite earlier in the night and that I was still asleep by five and 6 AM. When I mentioned why this couldn't have waited until I wasn't awake in the morning to address he said that they were "concerned because it was unacceptable that I had gotten the keys to move to the room downstairs and yet did not move until early the following morning." I apologized and let him know that I was not aware of this hard and fast rule that the moment I get a new key that I had to move into the new room. I also said I paid twice for that evening, once for the room upstairs and again for the room downstairs, so I was under the assumption that I rightfully had access to both rooms. And there was not another guest who was going to check in, since I'm sure that would have been mentioned to me quite earlier than 3 AM. He kept saying that well you have several complaints. This is what the neighbors downstairs had said and again I said I was asleep. How could that have happened? It seems like he was insinuating. I was not only a terrible guest because I did not move rooms when they "expected me to" but that I was now a inconsiderate person for having walked around in my room during the night (God forbid I woke up to use the bathroom) since I had really heavy footsteps. His tone, facial expression and indignation also insinuated, additionally, that I was heavy. And again, I told him this was so offensive to say, and he responded back quite clearly, " it shouldn't be offensive." Oh my god. I immediately left the front desk after that conversation to go into my room to cry before I head off to work for the day, and I said this to him. Again, he shrugged in indifference at my expression of disbelief and hurt. Really really awful customer service and I truly hope this is not a reflection of the culture and standard that is of this hotel, if you can even call it one based on this experience. On yelp, there are several other complaints about how the walls are so thin that guest are able to hear people upstairs, or they're able to hear sounds of plumbing or AC starting, and various other too close for comfort noises as prior guests. If this noise issue is something that has happened many times over please do not continue to berate your guests for being loud when really the problem is the actual infrastructure of the building. As the regional director of several clinics in Texas, I know how important customer service and caretaking is for retaining a healthy relationship with your customers, and I would have actually apologized personally to the folks who were downstairs and told them prior to the stay that there may be expected noise disruptions to consider and comped them for their stay. I would NOT have done what this unbelievable gentleman did as a person and member of the "hospitality" industry. read more

Quite possibly Austin's best kept secret ! As a regular traveler for business and pleasure, I make it a point to stay at hotels that are funky and different and not the standard cookie cutter hotel. I stumbled across the East Austin hotel a few years ago and loved my experience so much that I make it a point to stay here whenever I'm in town. Super friendly staff and the on-premises restaurant is even better. The 2nd Bar & Kitchen has that "Cheers" sitcom feeling "where everybody knows your name". Great friendly staff and this would certainly be a place I'd put on my list when looking for something fun and different while visiting Austin! LOVE this place ! read more

We stayed here for a few days one summer when we were looking for apartments in Austin. Not really knowing anything about the city, this was the most centrally located and well within the nightlife scene location we could've stayed at - which, to be honest, wasn't really our scene (lol). But in any case, it was still a pleasant stay. The vibe is very southwest, almost felt like I was in Palm Springs, too. They have a pool but it's not that big. The rooms were nice, but I didn't like how the bathroom was not completely closed off. It was open in the ceiling, so not much privacy. And you could hear (and smell) everything...not a fan. Overall, if you're looking for a cute, vibey hotel that's in the middle of the party scene, this is your spot! I'd probably stay here again if I was visiting alone. read more

I really wanted to like this place but... it's 5:30 am and I am leaving. Tried to get some much needed shut eye before the 22 hour road trip home & we were kept awake all night by people stomping above our room. Stayed in room 109 and it felt like every single door slam & foot step was playing through a speaker. I really couldn't believe it cuz these places look pretty nice. Anyways the noise got worse at 3am and it's just been tossing and turning since then. Sayonara. I. Am. Tired. read more

I loved this hotel! The room was so pretty! I loved the decor and I loved how welcoming everyone was. We checked into the king room but the AC wasn't working so they quickly moved us to a different room. I love how on it they were and the maintenance guy didn't have to help us move but he did and he was so amicable. The rooms were spacious and they were so clean I love how there was 2 complimentary water bottles. I would definitely stay again. read more

My parents wanted to reserve a hotel block for guests who came in town for my wedding this past spring. I helped steer them towards East Austin Hotel since I'd been to their restaurants before, and it was near my condo, i-35, and other destinations guests might want to visit. I knew the pool courtyard would make a good meeting place for everyone during down-time. Some of the rooms were actually reasonably priced for a trendy downtown hotel. Still, most of my guests opted to stay in AirBnBs, and only my parents and aunt stayed at East Austin Hotel. I was afraid that staying in a trendy hotel would be overkill for their age, but nothing was overly gimmicky, and everything worked out great. One sunny afternoon before the wedding we sat around the pool. East Austin Hotel was great to have as one of our meeting points during the wedding week, even if we did not rely upon it as heavily as we first expected. read more

Warning - read your booking EXTRA closely. A large portion of this hotel has shared bathrooms!!! (Yes like a hostel) I was very displeased with my recent stay here. I lived in East Austin a number of years and frequented the balcony bar often (which is super cute), but never stayed here until a recent visit back to town. I relooked at my reservation and the bathroom explanation is fine print and not obvious. The shared bathrooms were hostel like and were not well maintained. I tried a couple of the stalls and while they are private and do lock, they were dirty and not cleaned often. They provide men's and women's USED shower shoes in your room which was also gross and dated stained towels. The carpet in the rooms are so disgusting I didn't take my socks or shoes off during my stay and there was so much dust on the counter top of the desk it looked like it has not been cleaned in a very long time. The walls are paper thin both to other rooms and to the street. While the public spaces in this hotel are cute, this was a horrendous stay for me as I could not sleep. I think it's important for others to know what you're getting into if you stay here. I'm not going back. read more

Booked this hotel through booking.com and the pictures did the hotel justice. Driving up from the outside you might seem a little unsure but the room we stayed in was great. The room was spacious and clean and the bed was comfy. They have a bar and restaurant in the hotel as well which I didn't get to experience. The only negative is that parking wasn't part of my reservation and was an extra $30 for the night. Overall it was a pretty good stay and I'll keep this place in mind for the future read more

Was looking to book a room at this hotel - went through their website but received an error during checkout. Never received an email confirmation so I assumed I didn't have a room. Eventually was surprised with a charge on my credit card for a no show fee. Called the hotel and explained the situation. Told me to email management. Did that and was told that they couldn't help except to cut the $373 fee in half. So their system failed and now I'm on the hook for $186. read more

My wife and I came by Second Bar + Kitchen Rooftop at East Austin Hotel for drinks and appetizers on a lazy Sunday afternoon. We had some great palomas, as well as some truffle fries, brussel sprouts, and shishito peppers. Our server (from Pittsburgh) was awesome! This place is very pretty inside and we really enjoyed coming in out of the heat to cool off during happy hour here. I've been to another location for Second Bar and Kitchen and this location was better all the way around, even if the menu was similar. We'll be back. read more

What a fun and exciting time I had at the East Austin hotel. The people at the front desk are so friendly and welcoming. I wanted to try something completely different and admittedly was a little out of my element. I wasn't sure about the shared bathrooms but it actually is a really nice and very clean set up. The rooms are cute and the location is pretty ideal if you don't want to bother with transportation to the fun downtown six street area. I didn't use the pool but it looks like a good time with the outside bar. If you're not planning on staying up until 2 o'clock in the morning, the area might not be for you. It does get loud but if that's what you're looking for you found the right place. read more

This is a gem. Rooms are classy retro. Staff excellent! Outdoor space ... Couldn't ask for more than this pool and bar. The restaurant and rooftop bar will not disappoint. I have top status at Marriott and Hilton but choose to spend my vacation time at this place. Yes I spend money here vs using points with a chain. read more

Love this place! Hidden gem for sure. Walking distance to everywhere. But more of a boutique/ eclectic vibe you won't find at a chain. Side of Austin that is still super vibrant and tons of stuff , but not as touristy. We walked everywhere. But it still felt like we didn't have to leave. The vouchers for the restaurant were great... happy hour is amazing. It's slow... but it's also very thoughtfully put together in regards to service. The Food is amazing and drinks were phenomenal. Bartender was outstanding and took his time making fantastic drinks. I love the robes and retro vibe of this place. If I could give it a few suggestions, it would be to maybe add a cute retro mini fridge to the room that would be extremely helpful to a lot of people bringing home leftovers and what not.. and definitely lowering the price of the Parking. There's tons of underground parking and a ton of space and probably should'nt charge so much if you're already staying here. That being said ...everything else is phenomenal, staff is great and super friendly and I definitely would plan on being back here. read more

If you are looking for a hotel stay in Austin, I so recommend East Austin Hotel. What you need to know: 1 location location location. It is literally the best location at a reasonable price. It is a newer hotel, super clean, and so walkable of so many of my favorite spots. While they have so many amenities, for longer stays you will love how walkable this hotel is. 2 They are pet friendly with a small fee. Our pup loved her experience as did we. Nala had the best time! 3 They have a phenomenal rooftop bar and restaurant. Both pet friendly (restaurant is dog friendly outdoors). 4 They are taking great precautions always and taking super great Covid precautions. 5 their Upside Bar has a plethora of fun shows showing on their outdoor screen paired with Austin outdoor ambience, the best cocktails and delish bites. We personaly love the S'mores in the winter months. 6 Brunch is not to be missed! Those mimosas and incredible menu items (I am a fan of the udon) are so good. read more

Sorry so long. A lot to get off my chest. When we walked into the room, the air-conditioning was set at 62°. That meant everything in the room was damp, including the sheets towels, the pillows the rug. We let that go, then noticed that there was significant amount of mold in the bathroom ceiling and an extreme amount of moisture. Then we ventured to the pool which happened to be quite close to ambient temperature (100*). It was not refreshing. It was warm to the touch. All four nights we stayed there. The most anybody was there was maybe 10 people, and that was on the day that they were giving away free booze. Every other day there was less than five max. And most hours it was just empty. EMPTY. Gorgeous weather. No one at the pool. The pool was uninhabitable. It was not refreshing. It did not cool down. It actually made you warmer. When you got to in the pool you had to get out to cool off. so much so that you would get in and out just to feel the essence of cool. It was unusable. Because the pool was so un refreshing and so uninviting it also made the poolside bar completely empty. Nobody patrons the bar because nobody wanted to patron the pool. Seems like a missed business opportunity. The pool was one of the biggest reasons why we wanted to stay there and it was, like I said, unusable. Do yourself a favor and read more reviews. There's a communal area with a few rooms that share a communal bathroom that are only taken care of once a day. Heard horror stories there too. More mold and unsanitary conditions. I did make comment to a manager upon leaving. She was pleasant and heard me. I do not think any rectification will be attempted. Not her fault the pool is hot. Seems like that doesn't happed in Arizona or las Vegas. Seems someone designed it ignorantly and she's in the office so she gets to hear it. The mold on the other hand; I believe she has a responsibility not to book rooms that have maintenance issues as bad as this. There was no attempt to comp or offer to at least take a Coffe off my bill. I'm not looking for freebies but giving me her card and asking me "call her when I come back" is a flat out empty attempt at appeasement. The restaurant "second" was quite good and the wait staff was great. read more

Cool vibe, but buyer be warned the "cheapest" rooms don't have bathrooms! You have to walk down the hall to go to shared private bathrooms which have a toilet/sink/shower. They also don't have any towels in the bathrooms so after you wash your hands you have to go around the corner to find something to dry your hands with. An example of how idiot this design is. I got locked out of my room while brushing my teeth. Had to get maintenance to fix my door. Lucky it wasn't the middle of the night. At $250 a night, I feel very ripped off. Feels like a hostel masquerading as a hotel. read more

Man, the service at this place is so good I couldn't even believe it. It's super cute, right on 6th, and it was complete dumb luck that this is where we ended up staying.

Don't overlook this as a venue for your small meeting or event. We met in one of their conference rooms this week, and it was lovely.

Don't not book here! Firstly, it took them over an hour to have my room ready after the check in time. Then the hotel food and beverage manager informs me that the hotel is having a Halloween party, OK cute I get it, It's Halloween weekend. However, this party starts at nine and they are blasting club music that I can hear through my hotel room walls. I wasn't expecting the party to interrupt my stay. I asked the front desk when it will end, they inform me that the hotel party will end at 11. It doesn't end at 11 and continues through midnight. I had to wake up really early in the morning and I booked a hotel to sleep soundly, that is not what happened. I emailed Jacelyn, their manager, informing her of my dissatisfied stay, asked for a refund because I do not believe I got what I paid for. I wasn't paying to be woken up by club music. She informed me, oror rather lied to me, that the party was from an outside vendor, even though hotel staff had confirmed to me prior that it was in fact hosted by the hotel itself. She's a liar and is ghosting me. read more

I had the highest hopes for this hotel. The reviews the pictures. Probably about 5 mins into checking in I started to feel like a made a mistake... I checked in on a Saturday at 3 pretty standard. Even upgraded my room so I can be closer to the pool. I was trying to go big at our last stop on the trip. And got sorely disappointed. We check in on a Saturday at 3. As we walked to our room there was a massive pool party going on. I'm talking huge. You couldn't squeeze any more body's in the pool or around it. My room was literally 5 feet from the pool. Anywhere else that would be a good thing. But not during these covid times and not after the money I spent. I went right back to the lobby to ask what was going on. I was told ALL those people had purchased a 40$ day pass and was allowed to be there. Being 5ft away I couldn't help but notice that both doors to the street were lodged open. So anyone and there grandma can come to the pool party. Nobody was buying passes... That was my first issue. Then things kept getting worse for me. I woke up to blood stains on my comforter. I'm not talking a little spot. 4-5 huge dried blood stains all over the comforter. I didnt notice at first cause it was wrapped tightly in a clean duvet. Not till I woke up and saw the duvet slipping down a bit. Not only was it disgusting. Pretty sure its a safety hazard during these covid times. After seeing how they handled the pool I should have left right there. We brought it to the on sites managers attention. She kinda had the same reaction I did and had the bed switched out immediately which I appreciated. She also covered my drinks at the pool the following day. We actually got to enjoy it Sunday cause there wasn't a million people in there. Riley and Fibi at the pool bar might be the best thing you guys got going on there. They were nice and funny and took my mind off of the hotel for a time. But I think after those 2 things I started looking for what else was wrong instead of trying to enjoy myself. My patio chair was broken. The blinds in my room were somehow hanging on for dear life. I appreciated the manager covering our drinks and trying to make it better. But now that I'm home and can reflect. That was handled really poorly. There's not enough drinks to make that better. My fiancé and I went to ATL- Nashville - San Antonio finishing the trip in Austin. East Austin Hotel was easily the worst stay of the trip. I think I read this is the 3rd month they've been open. Might have some kinks to work out. But don't waste money to find that out. The location of it was perfect. Next to a bunch of amazing restaurants. But the hotel was a big miss.. read more

Gorgeous, fantastic and fabulous! I was absolutely thrilled with my experience at the East Austin Hotel. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the room was beyond my expectations.

The bathrooms with private shower stalls are plentiful and sparkling clean. The location is really great too. Lots of cool little bars and food trucks and nightlife.
