The hotel is beautiful, lush gardens and minimalist but creative decor.

I did not like that we paid for a suite and it was not ready upon check in, the mini bar was empty and never stocked after we asked, and we could not sleep thanks to the group that was allowed to be in the pool from 11:30pm to 2am right outside our window. Speaking of not sleeping, the air conditioning unit in suite 219 needs to be checked because it makes excessive noise when it kicks in overnight.

Place was beautiful! Aesthetically gorgeous, in the middle of Soco - walk outside and there’s everything fun about Austin right there! Hotel also had Equipment room vinyl + cocktail listening bar and a delicious restaurant, gorg pool on site so we were truly able to maximize! We wish we had more time, Ty!!!

upon arrival at 4pm a pool party with extremely loud music started. I called the Front Desk to ask what was going on and he attempted to gaslight me into thinking there was no music. It took me about 5 to 10 minutes of convincing him to stick his head outside to prove to him that there was a concert going on. He had no idea. later I realize that my room was getting hot and had an engineer come out to check the AC. Turns out the AC had completely broken and they needed to have me move rooms entirely. After everything settled down it was a fine day but I didn't get a single apology or any explanation to the gaslighting or then putting me into a room with a broken AC.

Fantastic location right off SoCo just enough so street noise is not an issue. Easy walking distance to all that SoCo has to offer. Great pool and pool bar as well. Rooms are a good size and very unique decor that matches Austin vibe. Highly recommend and will return again on next visit.

I'm a local in Austin, but have booked many clients lodging here before, so when I had a free weekend, I decided to book two nights for my girlfriend and myself. We had the best time relaxing by the pool and enjoying our room. It was refreshing, quiet, and the staff was very kind and helpful. Definitely would stay here again!

Went with a group of 17 women, they overbooked and did not have the rooms we paid for. At check-in I was given a key to a room and entered to find a man already occupying this room. There staff had a clear lack of management which resulted in some of our party having to switch to different rooms each night of our trip (3 nights), they took all my friend’s belongings out of her room and said they had to give the room to another guest and she could stay on a portable bed in one of our rooms instead. This was their only option! The staff was rude and showed zero accountability. The event planner on site is beyond unprofessional.

This was not our first visit to this hotel. It is good for a 1 or 2 night stay, but not for the 5 nights we stayed. The rooms are generally smaller and not well it. Moreover, there is little room to store clothes for a longer stay. Finally, one area of the hotel was dark (there are outdoor, entry units) and we had to fight the dark areas and very dark steps required to get to our room. We complained 3 consecutive days but all were were told is it is a “programming issue” that is being worked on.

My only real complaint would be that the pillows had no support at all which made it very difficult to sleep and get comfortable. There were a lack of outlets for phone chargers near the bed and the TV was hidden behind the curtains so we thought there was no TV until we found it in the morning. We both had a very hard time sleeping due to the bed being uncomfortable so we sadly ended up leaving our stay around 3am to go home so we could get better sleep. Otherwise the Hotel is beautiful and very accessible and very cool treehouse vibe. Staff was very friendly.

It started out so well! Great staff, good pool, tasty food. Then on our last night, my boyfriend and I came back from the bar and decided to have some drinks on the balcony. We were out there chatting away when all of a sudden, a strobe light starts flashing in the room. Stunned, we ran inside and heard a knock at the door. It was cops. Apparently, our conversation had been too loud for some of our neighbors. Instead of calling the phone in our room and asking us to quiet down, THE HOTEL CALLED THE COPS ON US. It was utterly baffling. And a gross overreaction. Who calls the cops to report a conversation?²

I used to love this hotel; however, this experience wasn’t as great as previous ones.

The staff was friendly but not very effective at solving issues.

Breakfast was disappointing—Two Hands and Soho House are nearby, and we recommend going there instead.

The guy at the pool was exceptional: attentive, efficient, and high-quality service.

Housekeeping was also great—everything was very clean.

However, the minibar was incomplete, and I was left waiting for hours for items I had to request at the front desk, which never arrived. My Hotels.com benefits weren’t honored, and overall, it was clear they were short-staffed.

My hotel room window faced a back alley area where trash is stored and on Monday mornings at 6:30 am - you can hear the garbage trucks right out your window dumping the trash out. I mentioned this to the hotel and they called them \"delivery trucks\" which was off-putting. I saw the garbage trucks.

The rooms are small and oddly set up. The sink is in the room and the bathroom is quite small. The bed is facing the back wall/window so the door to the room is behind your head. The grounds has a nice feel, but does not compare to the other Bunkhouse hotels that we have stayed at. The pool is quite small and there are a limited number of loungers around the pool. It was a fine hotel, but not worth paying a premium for in my opinion.

There were old trays of food outside our room from the previous guests’ room service. The shower had very poor water pressure and was hard to control the temperature. Some days it came out really hot and others it never warmed up. We will not be staying here again.

This was honestly *such* a good experience. I had stayed here once before and it was fine, but wow the second time was the charm. The staff were incredibly welcoming and warm, I had wonderful conversations with each person I chatted with. We had a VIP benefit from Expedia (a little cash credit to use on food) but Hotel Magdalena also threw in 2 free beverage credits on top of that. Everything smells amazing, it's near a bunch of places to eat and walk around, the pool is perfect (especially for littles as it's small and not very deep! and mostly stays in the shade all day!) If you want to wash your hands with Le Labo and admire punchy gorgeous bathroom tile and walk over to Jenny's Ice Cream (or Amy's for that matter) at 9:30 pm for a late night treat--this is most definitely the spot for you.

We found a small piece of glass in one of the beds.
On Saturday afternoon we got back to the room around 4:00 pm, and the room wasn’t cleaned yet.
The cleaning lady told me I have to ask the front desk for cleaning service, otherwise they don’t clean the room.
The guy at the front desk told me it wasn’t necessary to ask for cleaning, that it will be done after they finished cleaning the rooms that were reserved directly at the hotel page, because the app reservations go at the end.
Also it cost me around 30% more with Expedia than directly with the hotel.
For more than $500 a night is an overvalued hotel.
