    This hotel suits me perfectly with its excellent wi-fi, 24-hour reception, and a lovely bar/lounge area. The staff once gave me the best local taxi tips, making my stay even better. I highly recommend it!

    fantastic location
    attentive staff
    holiday decorations
    old mattress
    no cream for coffee

    The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the lively 6th street while still offering a peaceful retreat. The staff were attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed, including a small fridge for our longer stay. The holiday decorations were lovely, and the atmosphere felt magical with the festive music and scents of a real Christmas tree. Overall, the facilities and vibe paired well with our business trip and made it enjoyable.

    high parking

    Parking options drain your credits faster than Solo's ship can jump into hyperspace. The lobby feels like a lonely outpost with no visible staff to assist, leaving you to figure things out alone. Physical features like dated elevator doors and inconsistencies in room decor might clash with the high rates charged. While room service impresses with quick delivery, the dining options appear limited given the hotel's status.

    stunning room
    beautiful sunrise
    great relaxation spots
    mishandled reservation

    The room was stunning with a corner window, making every sunrise a beautiful experience. There were great relaxation spots, like the pool and spa, perfect for unwinding. The only hiccup was the mishandled reservation, leading to a slightly cramped night, but it didn't ruin my trip. 🌅

    delicious brunch

    perfect base for exploring downtown austin's charm

    Staying here was amazing because it puts you just a few steps from vibrant 6th street and close to the state capitol, making it super easy to explore all the downtown sights on foot. plus, the breakfast at the hotel restaurant was delicious and served until 2 pm, perfect for a relaxed start to the day.

    Impressive first night

    I just arrived at this historic hotel and have had a great stay so far. The lobby is beautiful and inviting, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. My room is comfortable and well-maintained, making it a perfect retreat after a long day. However, I noticed that the pricing for dining could be more reasonable given the overall experience.

    I enjoyed my stay in a King Room. It was clean and comfortable with a small fridge. The lobby and bar were lovely places to relax. Dining options were excellent and the atmosphere was vibrant. A great spot to wind down after exploring.

    common areas

    The Driskill's stunning 19th-century decor, including intricate details and warm ambiance, truly captivated me. The staff's attentiveness made it easy to navigate the hotel, ensuring a comfortable experience for us seniors.

    More accessible seating in common areas would be ideal.
