    Exceptional

    The room was very small, I felt like I stayed in a college dorm room and that’s not a good thing, cement ceilings, brick wall and cement floors, the bed was so low to the ground and my back still hurts. There’s no microwave, no bucket for ice, no ice machine no vending machines. There’s a fridge but it’s full of drinks we didn’t touch. There weren’t even tissues in the bathroom. There’s no shower curtain it’s just open, for water to go all over the floor. For the price, I do not feel like I got my moneys worth at all. It was not worth it at all. Will not be going back. Friendly staff but the hotel was not what it seems online at all. Hallways are open to the outside so they are very hot. Not a pleasant experience.

    Disappointing

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Overall good hotel but the atmosphere was not as expected being way more family friendly than advertised. Couldn’t enjoy the pool because of many children splashing around all day.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very sweet people and relaxing stay. Property is still beautiful but could use a refinishing in some structural aesthetics and wood trims around the property. Love the stay and will always stay here. It is a true austin experience because of its location.

    I loved the vibes, the pool was awesome! So much greenery and it was tucked away in the heart of Austin! The rooms were nice and decorated well, there was an awesome selection of snacks and things to purchase in room! I loved the robe and the fact that we had a patio! I liked it all!

    My wife absolutely loves plants, so this place was a dream for her. The beautiful gardens, red brick walls, open layout, spotless rooms, and incredible attention to detail immediately caught our attention. The café and cozy sitting areas were perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee, and the whole place had a home, inviting vibe. By the end of our stay, my wife and the kids all agreed—this is the hotel we want to stay at every time we visit Austin.

    Excellent place to stay, very comfortable. Close to downtown and Lady Bird lake.

    We didn’t get to use to pool but it was a great stay. The location, staff, architecture was great! We were able to enjoy the unit even the ones near the dog day care. Parking was easy also.

    Great spot!

    We came to Austin to swim at Barton Springs Pool. The Carpenter Hotel felt linked to our destination and far, far away from the work at home. The tips of the Austin skyline above the giant pecans provided a soft and memorable "nightlight" glow in the room and after our brisk morning lap swim, brunch outside amongst the plants left us feeling quite fulfilled. The wall lamp needs fixing (room 418) but this was no big deal.

    Bed was rather close to the floor. Chairs seemed shorter than normal as well

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Wonderful property, nice pool, cool aesthetic.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Helpful staff. Clean room. Bar, restaurant and cafe come in clutch, both chill. Balcony is a must, awesome time staying here.
