I have used this storage for a couple years and once your year is up they raise your rental fees by 33% every 6 months (really 5 months). My unit is in a HORRIBLE side of town with a LITERAL crack house next door but the rate increases happen every 5 to six months. I went from paying $55 (insurance included) and now pay $71 because they brought my rate down slightly with hardships, but next Nov it will be over $120 for a 6x10 in an awful area. Be sure you don't plan on keeping your things longterm because they screw you. read more

They double the rent on your unit after only a couple of months. Send you notifications by mail with no email or call. Horrible, predatory business practice- I could not discourage people enough from giving these people any business. Don't do it unless you're alright with being robbed. read more

Amazing facility and a hard working manager named Sesa. Would definitely recommend to friends and family

Daniel was very helpful I was here delivering water and he had held a good conversation he didn't have bad attitude he was very respectful gave read more

Place raised the rate after 4 months. When we called about this they said they can raise it every 6-9 months. No warning or email the bill was just higher with no explanation. Make sure you get your price locked in. read more

very kind staff ! everything is running smooth! Only problem is there's only one gate working. Makes it hard to get in and out.

Not impressed so far. This is the second time I've been here in the last few days to drop some stuff off. Can't get inside the gate. It's 7 pm. Keypads are locked down like if it's after 10pm. Called for help and they left a message for the manager to call me in 10-15 minutes. Been sitting here waiting... waiting... still waiting because I don't want to go back home and unload this stuff at my house. Who has time for this? Facility is nice. Lots of extra fees like you have to buy their special lock cause that's the only one they use. Still waiting... Sigh... they don't care because I've already paid them... Update - I went home and received a phone call from the manager. She was going to try to get it fixed. I went back by 30 minutes later and they were there trying to get it working. I went back home and unloaded the truck. Not sure if it's fixed yet. I returned the next day and one of the keypads was blank but it worked. I was able to get in and unload my stuff. Thank you. I've upgraded stars again because of the effort made by Sylvia. read more

Extra Space Storage - Self Storage Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had a great experience! Super friendly staff and other renters were great too. Loved the carts and the elevator.

Not impressed so far. When I arrived, another customer was waiting outside the locked door. I asked if he'd already called the phone number on the door instructions; he had and left a voicemail (the number forwards to the cell phone of the staff member on-site). I called; the phone was answered and immediately hung up. When Angel did return to the office, he already had customers with him. Now I've been standing in the lobby 25 minutes waiting to be helped. There is a line forming behind me. Oh wait, after 10 minutes she gave up and left. Just me waiting again. EDIT: I upped this review from 1 star to 3 stars because the facility is so new and clean. read more

Excellent customer service! The manager, David, walked us through the sizes and rates of storage rooms available and even followed up with us a couple of weeks later to make sure we were okay. Remarkably clean facility, very reasonable, and easy to get in and out of. read more

Great experience! David, the incredibly friendly and nice fella that manages the storage complex, is spot on in his knowledge of the facility and handles all of your questions, concerns and whatever else like a true professional. The storage facility itself is spotless clean with plenty of door stops and loading carts available. Climate controlled and A-OK, Extra Space is well worth the fairly priced monthly rent. All in all, you can't go wrong storing whatever you need at Extra Space! read more

Staff is amazing, facility is clean, easy to use with reasonable pricing. I looked at several storage facilities before selecting this one. Made my choice due to how friendly and organized the staff are. read more

The Extra Space Storage facility off S. 1st and Slaughter is extremely clean, well-kept and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Reserving the unit and then securing it was extremely easy and fast! Top-notch staff and facility!! read more

Great service!!! Friendly manager (Sylvia). Helped me find the right size for the right price. Very clean building. read more

Really impressed with this location! It's super clean and feels safe with codes set by person renting. Both David and Priscilla are great and easy to work with. Moving stuff is made so easy with carts available and an elevator right by the door. Although I'm on a higher floor, it's not exhausting moving stuff in! read more

Wow, the Customer Service was spot on. I was in and out of this place to get a storage unit and David walked me around and was awesome in explaining everything. The facility is super clean and access in and out is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot. read more

This location is exceptional. The interior and exterior are immaculate. The building is in a great location only 10 minutes from the center of Downtown Austin. The costs are VERY competitive. The area is well lit and surrounded by other well maintained buildings and businesses at a bustling intersection. The manager is beyond professional and friendly. He offered water to my entire moving crew both days we were on-site. He even called a few days after all of my things were moved in to check-in. I would highly recommend this location to any one! read more

This facility gets 5 stars for several reasons. It is immaculate! I didn't see even a speck of dirt anywhere on the property inside or out. Very well-kept. David did an excellent job leasing the units to me. He was so helpful, patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. The paperwork process was effortless - basically because it is all done online and the software system is so easy for me to use to manage my own account. The location is great and the experience I had leasing there today it was a real pleasure. read more

We chose this storage space because of it's ample 5-star Yelp reviews. It had a luxurious feeling to it, almost like a spaceship, with clean corridors and motion-activated lighting (so the place goes dark while not in use). And I thought the climate control was essential here in the Austin summer months-one of those qualities that justifies the higher price. We relied on this place when we had to move abruptly, and it gave us a comfortable 2-month cushion between locations. We brought our kids with us a couple of times, and they enjoyed a skateboard session or two. We all appreciated Sylvia and Angel, the managers, who gave us plenty of "space" to manage our stuff, even when we had overflowing furniture and bikes. read more

This location is clean and convenient. The staff (David and Priscilla) are out going, courteous and friendly.

Outstanding customer service! Store manager David does an absolute fantastic job making everything smooth and easy! I strongly recommend Extra Space Storage, mainly due to David. Does a great job answering questions and concerns I had. Facility is very well kept and clean. Tip: Check out their internet pricing! The best in the area! If you're looking for a great place to leave your valuables. This is the place! Call David! read more

Awesome place . So reliable and very clean place to put my stuff. It was really nice to go and check my stuff even late at night very safe. Look for Sylvia Diaz read more

Horrible experience with this place. Location on Slaughter and First only had 1 working elevator on the Sunday I was scheduled to move. People were fighting for the elevator, no maintenance on site to fix it. I went the day before to pay for storage since they are closed on Sundays and the manager did not mention there was only 1 working elevator. I had to put my stuff elsewhere because I was being charged by the hour from my movers. Extra space storage DID NOT issue a full refund and I have not even received the partial refund they reluctantly offered and it has been 2 weeks. I would not recommend this place to ANYONE!! read more

Great experience. Kind and helpful service. I came with kids in tow and they were very patient and never made us feel like an inconvenience. They always answer the phone and have checked at every step to make sure we are satisfied. I definitely recommend this location! read more

My first visit to this facility was actually quite pleasant. John the assistant manager was very friendly and introduced himself as soon as I walked through the door. He walked me through the process and got my storage unit reserved immediately which was great. The facility is nice and clean and I was really impressed. Unfortunately, this all changed the next day when I returned and needed to return some packing boxes that I decided that I didn't need after all. Sylvia who is the store manager was rude and acted as if she didn't know how to do a return. As a store manager, shouldn't you know to do this at least? Anyhow, after she "figured" it out she acted like she did me a favor and told me she couldn't refund me and that I'd receive a check in the mail. Well, that was no problem as I had a month left in my current residence to receive the refund. My second visit which was a month later was worse. I show up at 1:45 pm to pay my bill but to only see a sign that displayed a clock in which you can adjust the hands to let people know when you'll be open again. The clock said that they'd be back at 2:05 pm. So, instead of driving all the way back home I decided to walk to the Goodwill from across the parking lot to bypass time. I quickly walk back promptly at 2:05 only to see that someone inside adjusted the hands on the clock to say that they won't return until 2:40. I pulled on the door to see if it was open but it was locked. I was livid. I stood there only to have Sylvia walk from a back room where she saw me on the monitor I guess and say through the glass door that they don't open until 2:40. I quickly corrected her and said that I had been waiting since 1:45 to go in to pay my bill since the time stated she would be back by 2:05. She huffed under her breath and opened the door and said it had to be quick because she needed to eat(not my problem you can't coordinate your lunch appropriately). She was rude during the whole time and so passive aggressive that I couldn't believe that she has a job talking to people this way. She would be rude one second then try to be nice only to have a sarcastic rude comment afterwards. Again, the facility is nice but I will not be going back due to her rude demeanor. She needs a lesson in customer service! read more

This is my second time using the South 1st Extra Space facilities and its been great both times. The staff has always been friendly and there for whatever we need... last year one of the employees even helped me clean up after dropping a glass on my hand when moving. The facility itself is also always clean and the lighting is good too. We were happy to use this storage facility a second time. read more

I just got myself some storage space here a couple of weeks ago after shopping around. Their prices are great; the place is extremely clean; security appears to be well thought out. Amanda (?) was friendly, clear, well informed. So far there have always been carts available at the door by the elevator to use. So far, so good! read more

Angel was so informative and nice! He honored my previously quoted price from a couple weeks ago! The elevators were a big help to the movers also. Just a tip that I didn't know...Keep your renters insurance instead of having to get theirs! It's probably cheaper and insures more! read more

I needed a storage unit after another storage rental facility that shall not be named cancelled my reservation without even a phone call the day before my move. Extra Space Storage had a very useful mobile website and I was able to reserve a unit that was ready for move-in the next day. The customer service here was top notch and the facility was clean and most importantly, very secure. Definitely recommend this facility to anyone needing extra space! read more

Sylvia and Angel are the best!! They were both so helpful setting up my new unit. The facility is extremely clean and well maintained. Highly recommend them if you are looking for a great storage facility!! read more

Super easy and fast to get set up. David was extremely helpful. This was the cleanest and nicest storage facility I've ever used.

Sylvia was great and very informative and friendly! Facility is very clean!

Today my boyfriend and I went to ask why they were raising the rent on his storage unit. The lady at the front desk told us that we were "paying a promotional rate and they raise it after a few months, that's how they get customers in, is to give them a low rate at first." When I asked why they didn't mention that they would be raising it after a few months when we signed up for our unit, she said that "they aren't allowed to mention it and if the customer was smart enough to ask, then they could tell them." I was really upset with the way she spoke to me. I had to ask her to stop because she was being very rude and disrespectful. She continued on telling us that customers who know the storage unit business and are smart enough to ask would know that the rent gets raised after a few months. Telling someone that they weren't smart enough to ask you if you would be raising rent randomly after several months is NO WAY to treat your customers. I left feeling very belittled. If I could give this place zero stars for customer service, I would. read more

Great experience in renting unit. David was informative and great in helping me choose the right size unit for my needs. Very clean and love having dollies available to move your stuff. Overall my rating is 5-star. Keep up good work! read more
