Hotel Kimpton Van Zandt, Austin

Very interesting hotel in an interesting location. Beautiful room.

Too much street noise. Ridiculously expensive parking. Restaurant a bit overrated and reservation system confusing.

Nice atmosphere. Comfortable rooms. Fun welcome drink. Bicycles and record players available for free.

Location is good but has a lot of construction right now m.

Nice interiors, friendly staff

A security bond was charged to my card initially which was refunded on check out but it was unnecessary. Felt like I was treated with suspicion.

Beautiful space, clean, staff was friendly at front desk. Margs at check in?! That was a fun and unexpected first!

The bar area and lobby was constantly packed with private parties. Was a bit overwhelming when trying to come down and have a cocktail in the bar. If you’re looking for a party hotel, this seems to be the place!

Hotel room was very clean.

No hot water for shower in the first room I had.

Everything

The parking is way too expensive.

Nice vibe. Pretty.

No complementary coffee in the lobby in the morning. So much construction in the area around the hotel - hard to access the trail by the river.

interior design, facilit, room was confortable. btw i stayed 2 nights

well location is great however there are so many construction around the hotel which makes difficult to walk around

Location. Although lots of construction surrounding the hotel. Good lobby bar.

A little tired. Needs a deep clean. No robes.

Gorgeous design. Loves the music in the lobby. Loved that you can get as many bottles of free water as you like. Valet was very fast.

Maybe they were busy but even though we left the privacy sign off and asked the front desk our room was not serviced by housekeeping.

Welcoming, clean

Neighborhood is loud

Bed was comfortable, staff was friendly

Club next to the hotel can be heard until 2am. They also only gave us 2 towels and 1 washcloth even though there were 2 of us staying

The best part was the breakfast staff. I can't remember the man's name who served us, but he was so attentive and kind. The decor was nice and there are nice restaurants and bars, and even a small grocery store, within walking distance.

I didn't like the suprise $100/day refundable charge for possible incidentals. Yes, I received my money back, but the rationale and accounting wasn't entirely clear to me (I stayed 5 days, so this was a good amount of money). I didn't think it was worth the price, and I won't aim to stay here again.

I liked the location and they brought me a microwave when i asked

I didn’t like the restaurant, the menu was awful. All kinds of weird, “trying to hard to be bougee” types of items. The bathroom wasn’t very clean and the bed was hard. For being an upscale hotel i wasn’t very impressed.

Great pool with nice cabanas, and lobby had good sitting areas when allowed to use them. Room was spacious and interesting with great view. Bed was firm. Geraldines was fantastic! Food was delicious!

The pool, the restaurant and the lobby were closed for multiple private events over the course of our 4 day stay, which made it very difficult to plan or enjoy our stay, as there was no warning. We were on our honeymoon and we booked the hotel specifically for the pool and then we were not allowed to use it the day we had planned to.

Decor.

Location was okay. Lots of construction and noise. Robes should not be upon request.

Property is pretty good located and very close to the city 5-10min walk

The bar was close during the entire time, daily things in the room where not change or added, like towels, coffee, sugar and other stuff

Room size

A/C didn’t work well

Very clean, staff was excellant

Pool hrs were not long enough, and resteraunt hrs not long enough. No coffee makers in rooms

The ver

Vibe, free happy hour, restaurant/pool area

Surrounding construction and hotel now being buried in a sea of high rises.

Clean and the decor is lovely.

The noise and staff who didn’t know basic info about hotel, as in where the ice machines were and that there are no porters until 11 a.m.

Very nice restaurant, very good breakfast a la carte, nice modern style of the hotel and rooms, clean! , guest relations have an open ear and are helpful!

Work going on inside the hotel, construction going on all around the hotel, physical card was needed to pay the bill, not possible with the cards on the iPhone wallet, room service can be improved ( missing coffee, telephone not connected…) parking (valet service) expensive.

Close/walkable location to downtown.. but clean, the bed very comfortable, staff was great. I just wish it had better views and maybe even some breakfast included..

Nothing against the hotel just Austin in general seems more couples oriented rather than families

Location

Nice room

Nice amenities.

Lots of construction in the hotel, as well as in the surrounding areas.

Great location, very walkable to many different places. Staff was very friendly and helpful when needed!

Proximity to the river path for exercising. Also Rainey Street activities.

Nothing.

Location!!

The smell of bleach in the room and the construction

nice place!

we walked into another room that wasnt ours because they gave us the wrong keys - the occupant was less than amused. despite promising that the pool opens up @ daybreak, i couldnt get in until around 8am.....90 minutes l8r!

Location is great for walking to rainy street and short uber rides to anywhere else.

construction inside and out. Not enough room/seating where they hold happy hour.

Resort fee was unreasonable

The walking distance to everything. Rainey street, six street, downtown - everything is super close to this hotel. The valet parking was also quick- every time we needed our car- they had it outside in less than 5 minutes. The elevators were also quick and fast. The pool was also nice and heated, & I loved how there was no kids. The hotel itself is very nice and looks luxurious.

The room was nice.

Hair in the tub. No area for pets.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They recommended places to eat that were just as good as they said! The social hour with free drinks was also a nice way to meet other people staying in the hotel.

Rainey ST, right behind (beside?) the hotel had a lot of clubs and bars that played loud music Friday and Saturday nights, which made it hard to get to sleep.

Centrally located. The room we had (spa queen) was HUGE! The room itself was clean, comfy and awesome. The staff was equally awesome. We had everything we needed, and they were there to help. The hotel inside was very quiet even though Rainey is booming a block over. Also pet friendly and no fees! Valet parking only.

It’s temporary, but the hotel is surrounded by construction of huge towers on every side. So the view doesn’t exist and the streets are dirty and filled with tons of crew. You could hear the trucks loading in early in the morning (weekday) and we were in the highest floor. If you are bringing a pet bc of this you will have to take a bit of a walk toward lady bird lake down Rainey to find the single patch of grass for pets- doable but not the most convenient. The lobby also lacked and is under construction. It’s a more simple hotel than others. You can’t go down to your car, if you need anything out of it you have to call valet to have them bring your car around.

Very cool hotel, great location, the pool area was nice and breakfast upstairs was good.

Would have loved a coffee machine in the room

Geraldine’s restaurant was amazing! Great food, great service. Cool vibe.

Price point was a bit high. Huge towers going up were a bit distracting and noisy. No easy parking.

the room was spacious, with adjustable AC, and the bathroom was large, The service in the hotel is very friendly and accommodating. The cafe has delicious food and snacks. The location is good, if you need to travel places, as it is right by the main roads ( for us it was a plus ). The closeness of the river and trail would be great if you did not have to get there through dusty construction.

Over all the hotel itself is absolutely lovely but right now it is located in the .... construction zone. I was very disappointed that the hotel did not have this information on the website, because I would book it somewhere else. As of April 25, there are 5 huge buildings rising up right at your window. It's loud and dusty, and even being at the pool was not pleasant having a crane right above you. Luckily the front desk staff was very helpful and put us in the quieter room, which was very nice and only some noise of construction ( which started at 7 am ) was detectable. I live in NYC and I am used to noise 24/7 but construction from all around you, is just too much

Fun hotel with a nice design, big modern rooms and comfortable bed. Location is great for Rainey Street.

Only minor things, but the shower was very weak, no overhead lighting so room was a bit dark, tv interface not userfriendly as proper tv guide. For some unknown reason the lift beeped at every floor which was quite annoying!

The room was comfortable, the beds were great and thankfully we stayed at the 13th floor so it was very quiet. I wanted to try the pool but the weather was not good.

The hotel is nice, but only worth the discounted price. If I had paid the full price for the room I stayed in it would have been a rip off. Charging $63 for the garage at the basement is also too much. The neighborhood is very crowded and incredibly noisy. The constructions everywhere around make it impossible to walk anywhere. It is so sad to see the Rainey st district overtaken by skyscrapers. Not choosing this area of the town for my next visit.

Happy hour

Room was a bit too hot at night

Loved the staff. Nice restuarant. Hallways a little dark and hard to see room #'s. Bed was okay but could be more comfortable for the hotel prices. Shower not so great. Good location.

Shower and bathroom. Bed was okay

central location

Price was a little bit expensive but I suspect that part of the city everything is

Clean, convenient, good location

Noise outside.

Location

Building works surrounding the property

This is a nice hotel in a pretty good location. You can walk to South Congress bridge and the shopping district in about 20 minutes or so or to the Capital building in about the same amount of time. It's also a 1 minute walk to the famous Rainey street which has a bunch of unique bars and patios. The hotel has a great restaurant that surprisingly had really great breakfast. The eggs benedict with potatoes was awesome. The pool area is a great place to have a few drinks and just relax. The rooms are pretty standard rooms with king beds and a walk in shower. The staff were always willing to help with any request we had as well. Overall, a nice hotel.

There is a ton of construction going on in this area and I mean a ton. The hotel is entirely surrounded by large condo developments on every single side. I didn't count, but there are at least 4 new buildings just being built around all sides of the hotel. I don't mean near the hotel, I mean right next to the hotel. You will be completely surrounded by construction for the next 4+ years. It's incredibly loud and makes it difficult to enjoy the pool area because of the constant work - even on Saturday and Sunday this work continues. I would also say that outside of the construction you can hear the music from the bars on Rainey street until the late hours of the evening. All that to be said, if you're looking for peace and quiet this is not the hotel for you. Not for the next few years anyways until the construction wraps up. I would also say that the pool area has a ton of potential, but the pool was terribly cold. We had to ask them to turn the heater on. Overall, the pool area is not taken care of either. All the cushions are left out overnight, typically wet in the morning, the pool seating areas are not "set up" as you would expect at a hotel with dry cushions, towels, etc. It's a bit of a free for all and a wasted opportunity to create a little oasis in my opinion.

The valet parking staff were super nice.

Casher lady at the coffee shop is very rude.

cool boutique-y hotel. great area - but loud at night. each room has a noise cancelling machine which worked like a charm. the first room was perfect except the staff placed us next to a bachelorette party with an adjoining door - not so smart. we had to move rooms. the second room was really dirty. restaurant was great. pool was great.

staff should have been smarter to not place a couple next to a bachelorette party. such an amateur move. second room was dirty - asked to have it deep cleaned which never happened.

Great central location.

Lots of construction around the Hotel - noisy, dusty and difficult for vehicle access
