The Stephen F Austin Royal Sonesta Hotel

This is a lovely and historic property. Great central location in the downtown area, near the famous Driskill hotel and other famous buildings. The staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed breakfast at the cafe in the morning and had a lovely lunch at the adjoining restaurant, The Roaring Fork.

Enjoyed my stay

Beautiful property with easy access to downtown. Staff was incredible!

The staff was fantastic and we loved our room. Perfect location downtown to walk to everything.

Beautiful and clean property, will be back.

Great restaurant and pub. Great central location in downtown Austin.

We had such high hopes after seeing the beautiful pics of hotel and the room with 2 double beds. Sadly, our room was nothing like it promised in the advertisement. The AC in our room never worked snd it wasn’t until I called down to the front desk well after midnight…maybe 2:30 am, that I was asked if we finally wanted to change rooms? That was just one of the negatives we experienced. The lack of sleep in the hot and humid room left us irritable and exhausted. We both left the hotel feeling incredibly disappointed and let down. But, as a single mom that gets very few moments like this with her 23 year old son, I left utterly heartbroken. Being on a teacher’s salary, trips like these with my son are extremely rare. I just wanted our mother/son road trip to Austin to the best for him, and a nice and comfortable hotel stay plays an integral of any trip you take..no matter who you are. I truly wanted to love the Sonesta…but I’m truly feeling like I let Zach down.

Friendly and funky and unique. And it’s a 10-15 minute walk to downtown and the plaza.

Outstanding hotel situated exactly where one needs to be when visiting Austin

Amazing

Great staff was awesome

Nice building in a very convenient area. All staff were very pleasant and helpful. It is an older building but is overall well maintained. However, there was an issue with the hanging of our bathroom door, which was obviously known about due to the stripped screw heads on the upper hinge from an apparent failed repair job, which made closing the door difficult and loud to close. Nevertheless, we would not hesitate to stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay. A beautiful room and lovely bar upstairs in the hotel. Great location and friendly staff.

Absolutely love this romantic old hotel. Right within the heart of so much austin has to offer. Splendid!

I had a great stay. Myneka welcomed me at check in. She was very helpful. Not only she gave me the room I preferred but also was helpful in locating convenient restaurants late in the evening to order food from. She went out of the way to help out. I have not come across this kind of hospitality before and I am a frequent traveler. Thank you Myneka. Also, the rest of the hotel facility and staff is very good. Location is very convenient. Room prices are very reasonable. I will book this hotel every time I am in Austin.
