South Congress Hotel, Austin

well designed but comfortable & low key

Beautiful and hip lobby with chic decor that extends throughout the property. Kind staff.

Only 1 thing- the shower head in our room had weak pressure

great location. nice pool

a little pricey

Location was great! We were able to walk to meals, and to walk to the river to exercise.

Coffee shop in courtyard was delish. Service was friendly. Beautiful decor. Hip events in the doest airs bar. Good, small pool for guests.

AC went out for an hour one night. Was repaired quickly.

Love that the hotel is right in the middle of modern & eclectic SoCo, amidst cafes, restaurants with yummy food, and boutiques! Even a modern/posh bodega called "Tiny Grocer"!

No direct step-out from our balcony to the pool (balcony was fenced in), even though the pool was our view!

This hotel is in one of the best locations in Austin - walking distance to eclectic shops and incredible local restaurants along South Congress. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable - with a large bathroom - but beginning to show some wear and tear. Bar, lounge, and lobby present a very cool design aesthetic. South Congrss Hotel is a chill place to hang (even if you don't stay there) with a very Austin vibe.

Street noise can be loud, there's literally a fire station less than a block away. The pool was closed - they said for maintenance

Love this hotels vibe!

Absolutely nothing.

Excellent location. Rooms are spacious. Valet service was prompt and pleasant. Front desk as well. Local food options are very good.

There was a machinery noise in the hallway which was not addressed for three days, audible in my room. WiFi was slow to mediocre. Water was so soft it was almost impossible to wash soap off in the shower. Literally doubled my shower time and water usage (but this is common to almost all of Austin). Not enough electrical access points for computer, cell phone, smart watch, etc.

Couldn’t allow me an extra 30 mins for checkout. Seriously?? Also, it’s very pricey for what you get overall.

Not much after they made my wife wait 45 minutes at 2 AM to get a room key as no one was at the front desk. Even though I told them she would be checking in at that time.

Room too dark, poor lighting, window looking into shower from bedroom had no shade for privacy, noise from wedding really bad

We've come a long way. It was our birthday. We traveled for 3 hours with our dog. During check in they said that there is no water in the hotel. They didn't help or provide a solution. they didn't even care. unprofessional employees.

The staff was absolutely amazing. Anything we needed, was delivered within minutes of request. They sent a text before our arrival, and using the same thread we could ask questions and/or make requests.

The room was good size, and looked quite attractive. That said, the bed was only sort of comfortable, and the rest of the room was exceptionally uncomfortable. Every chair was more uncomfortable than the last, and the couch was like sitting on concrete. the acoustics in the bar were horrible when crowded, as was most of the furniture in that area. Finally, the hotel claimed to have room services, but it was really just order from the restaurant downstairs, and then go down and get it yourself--not acceptable for a hotel with room rates as high as this one.
