Top Central East Austin Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was nice. The room was very clean and beds were comfortable. 6th street was just a walk away. I would stay again."

Hampton Inn by Hilton Austin East Side 5th Street

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect quick one day stay! Front staff was absolutely very friendly and so helpful! I really appreciated the hospitality and how clean the hotel was. Did not smell like smoke or anything.. extremely clean. Location was also a plus! Very close to restaurants and bars. The garage next door was a big plus! Will definitely stay here again!"

Aloft by Marriott Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at the Aloft during UT's freshman move in. The staff were helpful and very hospitable and the rooms were as expected. What I especially enjoyed were the restaurant options and proximity to other restaurants in the area. My goal in staying downtown was to get a feel for the "Austin energy" in the city and this hotel exceeded my expectations. I fell in love with the decor, and the food so much that I ordered a to-go order of the quinoa and cauliflower taco from the 2nd floor and a few pastries from the first floor. I love the 2nd floor patio vibe and took a few pics! I will definitely be back!!!"

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in downtown Austin! Rooms were clean, updated, and spacious. The amenities, such as the rooftop pool and rooftop restaurant/bar were very nice. The front desk staff were very efficient. Parking was expensive, but on par with any other downtown hotel's parking rates. Very, very convenient location to Rainey Street (just steps away)! Definitely recommend!"
