The Carpenter Hotel

Location, style, ambiance and the laid back feel of the hotel. The heated rooms were nice given that it was freezing outside, literally.

Very hip design-focused hotel with lots of nice "bonuses" like a powerful bluetooth speaker in the room, plenty of shelves, racks and hooks, stocked mini-bar, free bike rental, cafe on site, etc. I appreciated the communication via text message (like a normal person...) and the flexibility on check-in time and some other adjustments I had to make to my reservation. Awesome location for driving to Austin-area sights, though it is a bit of a hike to downtown (Uber/Lyft is cheap here, and it's an easy pick-up/drop-off spot).

Beautiful design of the hotel and thoughtful amenities. 1) They don't have a gym but they gave me free passes to go to an amazing gym down the street (Capital Hill Fitness 8mins by car) which was far better than a standard gym. 2) The restaurant is amazing here. One of our favorites in Austin. The coffee shop is also wonderful. 3) Very cute gift shop at the front and the front desk workers are so helpful and kind. 4) the environment is very calming and aesthetically pleasing.

Beautiful and relaxing hotel in South central Austin. The staff is very friendly, helpful and accommodating, they go above and beyond to make the guests feel comfortable. The food is great too (both cafe and restaurant) even if a little expensive. The pool area is well maintained and the trees give a nice feel to it. The room was comfortable and simply but nicely decorated. I felt very safe staying there as a solo traveler and would highly recommend this hotel.

Minimalist, modern, and warm. This property exceeded our expectations, especially at such a great price point. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Austin. A short drive from downtown, a quick walk to South Congress, the location is great. The property has a certain charm to it with very intentional details that brighten your stay. The restaurant & coffee shop are wonderful. The pool is so relaxing (minus kids being obnoxious). Lovely stay.
