Top The Drag Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Austin - University Area

8/10 Good

"Good location"

Hampton Inn by Hilton Austin East Side 5th Street

10/10 Excellent

"20/10—I loved my stay at this hotel. The room was spotless, and there were plenty of nearby spots like restaurants and museums; the area is totally walkable. Parking is an extra $35 a day, but you can park in the surrounding area and avoid that cost. The ladies running the breakfast service are super friendly, and there’s a good variety of food. I’ll definitely stay here again when I return to Austin."
