South Congress Hotel

Gorgous

First off, the staff here is genuinely awesome. Check-in was smooth and whenever we had questions (like where to grab the best breakfast tacos - crucial info!), they were super helpful and friendly. You can tell they actually care about making your stay great. The room was really nice - clean, comfortable bed, and I loved the design; very stylish. Had everything we needed and the shower was actually hot with good water pressure (you know how hit or miss hotel showers can be). But honestly, the location is what makes this place special. You’re right in the middle of everything on South Congress. We walked to dinner, browsed the shops, caught some live music, and didn’t need to drive anywhere. Perfect for soaking up that weird Austin energy everyone talks about. Definitely staying here again next time we’re in town. If you’re looking for a solid place to stay in Austin that puts you right where you want to be, this is it. Worth every penny.

My wife and I stayed at South Congress Hotel as a little in-town staycation over Labor Day weekend. Based on our experience, I’d recommend room 301 specifically. That room offers a balcony, overlook of the pool shenanigans, and a view of the hill country. It’s also a very comfortable room. Only downside, the in-room fridge wasn’t working when we were there, but the front desk was happy to bring us ice. … The hotel is beautifully located to enjoy South Congress. Complimentary parking is appreciated. Room service is good, although I wish they stayed open a little later. The pool is very pleasant on a warm day. … Very good experience. Would recommend.

Had a great stay at the South Congress Hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Loved the bar with its great selection and lively atmosphere. The common areas are very comfortable and perfect for lounging, working, or socializing. The gym is well equipped for a hotel, with Peloton bikes and fitness mirrors (I believe from Mirror or a similar brand), which was a nice touch. The pool has a relaxed, low-key vibe that we really enjoyed. Our room had a good balance of style and function. The only downside was the very dim lighting, which wasn’t ideal on a rainy Fourth of July weekend. Still, everything else more than made up for it. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of South Congress and within walking distance of great shops and restaurants. Highly recommend.

Suite we had was nice on the face. But was rough around the edges. Door to the fridge was broken. Fridge wasn't working. Toilet kept running. For a high end place, room's flooring needs a major refresh. It also needs more comfortable furniture. Retro modern can be comfortable.

Bathroom was one of a kind. Didn’t stay here but I had to go number 2 and man was it something. Each stall was like its own separate room and the lighting felt like it was out of a Batman movie. It’s also extremely optimal for flexing I saw an 8 pack because of that lighting.

It was okay - I hated the toilet they had those buttons to flush but were super small and hard to push. The bed was comfy And soft and room was cute. Not sure if they had black out curtains but the room did get full sun in the morning. The trash can didn’t have a liner in it - thought that was odd. Communication is poor and follow up non-existent.
