    Gym
    Ashlee S.

    Ambiance The hotel is nice and feels fairly new or recently updated. The lobby is modern and clean, and the aesthetic definitely fits Austin's downtown vibe. That said... the rooms are tiny. Like, shuffle-sideways-to-get-around-the-bed tiny. The layout is honestly awkward. When you walk into the room, you're basically walking straight into the bathroom/sink area. I don't love that setup it feels strange and a little gross having the sink situation right at the entrance. And let's talk about space. The desk and chair are positioned so close to the bed that you will bump into them every single time you walk by unless you maneuver your body in a very specific way. It's giving obstacle course. Not ideal when you're just trying to exist peacefully in your room. Also, the air/heating system is extremely loud. Every time it kicked on, it sounded like it was preparing for liftoff. Not ideal when you're trying to sleep or relax. Staff The staff were pleasant and professional. No complaints there. Check-in was smooth, and everyone I interacted with was kind and helpful. Service wasn't over-the-top luxury, but it was efficient and courteous. Gym Now... we need to talk about this gym. For a hotel this large, the fitness center is way too small. Over the past three days, multiple people have walked in hoping to use a treadmill and there simply aren't enough. There are three treadmills, but one is broken... and there's no sign on it. So people hop on, press start, and then realize it doesn't work. That's frustrating and easily avoidable. They also only have one mat for floor workouts and it's raggedy. Like visibly worn out. For a property of this size, they need at least five new mats and a better equipment setup. It feels like an afterthought instead of an amenity. Price The rates are fairly reasonable compared to hotels of similar quality in downtown Austin. For the location, you're not being completely robbed which I appreciate. But for the price point, I do expect better room layout functionality and a more equipped gym. Overall: nice hotel, good location, decent pricing... but with some design and amenity misses that keep it from being great.

    The room was nice....but SO insanely cramped. The views were awesome but I'm not sure if it's worth it for how cramped the room was. Everything was so insanely close to each other it was hard to not bump into your significant other going to and from the bathroom etc. i definitely would never want to stay here again. The bed and shower were fine. Service was fine as well. But just the rooms were just beyond claustrophobic for me.

    I was very happy with my stay at Hyatt Centric. The hotel is located in downtown Austin, a few blocks south of the State Capitol building. There's a pretty good rooftop bar on the 8th floor and the gym is pretty good. The front desk was very accommodating and responsive. The room was clean and very functional; the mattress was medium firm, tho I prefer a more firm mattress. There is ample coffee and a "rain" shower, plus my view on the 28th floor was facing north and included the impressive capitol, from floor to ceiling and very captivating. My minor complaints are that the elevator on average took literally 5 minutes to arrive, sometimes longer, and the a/c was clanky and buzzed whenever it turned on.

    The Hyatt Centric Austin Downtown offers a mixed experience with notable strengths and some areas that could use improvement. Exceptional Staff: From the valet and doormen to the front desk (Carolynn) , dining staff, and housekeeping team, the hospitality was top-notch. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and made the stay feel welcoming. The overall upkeep of the common areas and the room (except for the ceiling) was commendable. Daisy was pretty helpful with the checkout process and definitely heard me out about my complaints as well. The room size felt rather compact, and the setup could have benefited from a more minimalist approach to make it feel less cramped. The bathroom/sink/vanity area, however, stood out with a modern and sharp design. Unfortunately, the ceiling in my room was in poor condition, appearing unfinished and in need of attention--this detracted from the overall room experience. I had breakfast one morning, but it didn't quite meet expectations. While the dining team was hospitable, the food quality left room for improvement. The gym was decent but underwhelming considering the property's status. A more comprehensive setup would elevate the experience. A bit of a complaint: On the second night of my stay, there was a party or event with loud music that continued until at least 1 AM, which caused significant disturbance. Soundproofing or better event coordination could help address this issue in the future. When i checked about it at the front desk i was told that there was either a music gathering or some sort of party/celebration that went on for quite a bit into the wee hours. Definitely caused some disturbance. The Hyatt Centric Austin Downtown has its strengths, particularly in its excellent staff and clean, sharp design elements in some areas. However, the small room size, unfinished ceiling (i wouldn't take it for a vibe/design as it looked bad and missing some decent amount of finishing) , average gym ( i definitely expected more) , and disturbance from late-night events detracted from the experience. It has potential but would benefit from addressing these areas to provide a more seamless stay for its guests.

    And stupid placement of the tv - Some drunk cross eyed MFR with brain damage must have designed this.

    A coffin has more space than the room (and they upgraded me to a bigger room -- - I'd hate to see the standard room). Room is "cold" to the touch - exposed concrete ceiling, crapy vinyl floors. Non existent closet.

    Love this hotel in the heart of Austin! Has a cool Manhattan/Soho urban vide. We had a corner room on 21st floor with floor to ceiling windows on two sides with view of the UT Tower and the Texas State Capitol Dome. Book the corner rooms!! Fabulous views on the higher floors. A very fun outdoor patio bar on the 8th floor has great drinks and panoramic views of downtown Austin. Valet was a little pricey but that is to be expected in downtown. Age at The Tradition restaurant on the 1st floor and it was fabulous. Great hotel with smaller rooms but sooo worth the location and the views! We will be back!

    Rate 3.5 First time staying here. It's a great location. If you're going to be out and about and less time in the room this would be a great place to stay. But if you need a refrigerator or computer access, none are available here. They have a cooler ( for drinks ) in the room but it's not cold enough for food. For my stay I needed to work on my laptop and sought a computer to access when my laptop was acting up. I also purchased food to consume later and discovered that they can refrigerate your food but you have to list it, sign you agree and they store your food??!! I don't like that idea. So I requested ice ( which they deliver) to chill my food since there is no personal access. So my stay here was a bit tough. But I must say, the rooms are nice and comfortable.

    Room with a view!

    Great hotel! Located just blocks from the Texas Capitol with lots of fun things nearby to do and see. The rooms were meticulously clean, and the beds were absolutely heavenly. All the staff and service here were kind and helpful: A+ hospitality! Loved the rooftop bistro that offers stunning skyline views of the city...perfect place to grab a drink and unwind. One word of caution: elevator service here is limited. There are only four carriages in this 30-story building, so if you're in a hurry, make sure you plan extra time to wait for a lift down. Still, a wonderful place to stay!

    Note from F&B Director
    Ben H.

    My wife and I stayed her for our 19th anniversary and from the moment we checked in, the staff went out of their way to make us feel special. The food and beverage director planned a special surprise for us and really blew us away. Everyone here was very nice and attentive. The location is central To everything and the restaurant was great. We highly recommend this place. The rooms are intimate but well appointed.

We also dined at Nido, the hotel's restaurant, for both dinner and breakfast, and it was definitely a highlight. Located on the topmost floor, Nido offers stunning views of the river and downtown Austin. With both indoor and outdoor seating, the ambiance is elegant and ideal for a special evening. During our visit, we saw a couple of groups celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries, which shows how perfect this place is for special occasions. The pricing is on the higher side, but it matches the upscale experience and beautiful setting. For dinner, we ordered the Burrata as an appetizer and the Autumn Garden for the main course, along with an American IPA and a Jack Frost cocktail. Everything was delicious, but the Burrata truly stood out as my favorite. Breakfast was equally enjoyable--we had custom-made omelettes with veggies and avocado toast, both fresh and flavorful. Overall, The Loren Hotel, along with Nido, offers a great blend of comfort, excellent food, and a beautiful atmosphere. A perfect choice if you're looking to celebrate something special or simply treat yourself to a high-end experience.

It' just as beautiful inside as it is outside. It's fresh, modern, earthy and just plain cool. The rooms are massive and it feels so nice to spread out and be able to work at a huge desk. The lobby check-in was easy and the front desk staff was so friendly and helpful. I tried their 8th floor restaurant for dinner and was floored- it is a MUST if you stay here (but that will be a separate review.) I would also like to recognize front desk attendant Thomas for his amazing Customer Service! He was so proactive in ordering our food and beverage when he knew that we didn't have time or we were late and the restaurant was not available. Thank you Thomas!

Location, comfortable bed, good shower, clean, the room gets nice and cold, etc. We stayed in a budget hotel the first night in Austin, and while it got the job done, the upgrade here was very apparent from the moment we walked in. Two possible flags against the hotel were prevented on my end. 1) When I am driving to a destination, I bring my pillows from home. Why risk bad hotel pillows when you can just throw yours in a large duffel? I'm glad I did this because the pillows didn't look great, but maybe I'm just picky about pillows. 2) Parking is $60/night. I found parking that was $30 total for two nights, two blocks away. Easy decision to save $90. Download SpotHero if you don't already have it. It's amazing. Bonus: despite not parking on-site, the valet guys were great about letting us park temporarily to load and unload. It was really easy and there was space for it. This will definitely be my go-to Austin hotel, moving forward.

Our room had two double beds and was huge - perfect for three girls sharing a space. It had a lounge area with a couch as well as a desk. The bathroom was also spacious and nice with good shower products. One thing I will say is that the air conditioning is VERY loud. I shared a bed with my friend that wasn't directly in front of it, but our other friend in the "tundra" was pretty uncomfortable during the night because it was both cold and loud. Other than that, I enjoyed this hotel. They are so kind to give you free water every time you walk in, which is great!

Decor, amenities (pool, gym, spa services, biz center), and room were all great. My biggest shoutout has to go to the valet crew. We didn't spend a dime on RideShares for three nights because the hotel offers free transport within a 3 mile radius (first come, first serve). Tips are encouraged. The lobby staff was great too. Total bummers: :: No water refill stations. They do bring glass water bottles for turndown service and have plastic (ugh) mini water bottles in the gym, but a refill station is needed, especially in this Texas heat when we are all so parched. :: The pool service. For a Michelin-rated hotel and with food/drink prices where they're at, the service (or lack thereof) and quality of food/drinks was a disappointment. Having to get up for multiple drink and food orders, fixing our umbrellas, and then tipping out more than 15% when they didn't even do the bare minimum... Not a fan of that. (And we were there on a Thursday and Friday summer afternoon; it's pool season.) :: 10th floor hallway carpet needs major shampooing - the entire floor smells like urine. :/

Two double beds were comfy and plenty of towels. Our first night's stay was decent. Surprised to know they seem to use softened water because it made our skin feel slippery. I noticed the shower gel holder was falling out of the wall. A precarious situation of having to carefully pull the mechanism to dispense without pulling too hard. I did notify the night staff but the next day, it didn't seem like anyone came to fix it. No extra body wash or soap was provided even when I asked for some. The wall sockets with the en-suite appliances was not usable. The electrical outlets weren't working so we couldn't toast anything, use the kettle, or the coffee machine. Couldn't find one with a GFCI breaker to reset that side so gave up. Interestingly, the full-sized fridge and microwave were working ok though. The rod for one of the window curtains fell off while opening them. Because it's floor to ceiling we just left it alone. The common spaces around the property are well decorated, from the Library, Executive board room, kids corner, gym/yoga studio, and outdoor lounge space. Although, the snack/tea/coffee station with Keurig isn't filled maintained often. We had to ask the night staff to refill the water for tea and the lobby water dispenser was constantly low as well. On our second to last day, I found the hot water and still water station downstairs at Simona's. Pros: Clean, comfy, affordable stay. Enjoyed the bottomless drip coffee $5 and their signature Breakfast at Tiffany's latte. Also appreciated them letting us do late checkout and upgrade our room. Cons: Complimentary water station, Keurig / snack station, overall maintenance of room amenities could be handled better. Warning: If booking from 3rd party (BILT, Capital One Portal...) the added parking is not the same price that's on Colton's House's website. It's actually $40/day (with in/out privileges). However if booking directly through Colton House for stays, parking is 50% off at $20. Would we stay here again in the future? Most likely not. For an SLH property, we may look for another better-maintained option in the future.
