The location and hotel itself were great. I appreciate an urban hotel that blends into the community so well. Having a kitchen was great, especially one so well appointed. I just wish the AC worked better. Would definitely return.

We loved the room, club room, lobby etc. However our room never cooled off, we talked to the front desk after lowering it ourselves and they actually control it. They lowered it but it never dropped as they said it would. We noticed an A/C repairman on the property after our conversation but it still never cooled off.

meh. water so hard it was impossible to wash off soap. baggage carts were broken. everything in the room was \"just a little off\" -- there's no luggage rack for my suitcase, electrical plug is 10 feet from the table (yeah, I know, first world problems.) The dispensers in the shower were \"hand soap\", \"body wash\" and \"conditioner\". No shampoo?

I could never convince the cleaning staff that if they took a bin liner they should leave a bin liner, so after a week I had to go the the H-E-B next door to pick up a package of bin liners. The halls are wide but the cleaning carts used by the cleaning staff are almost as wide as the cart. I had to live my suitcase over the cart to get to my room.

There's no laundry for people not staying in suites. I stayed here in a suite last week and there was a laundry machine in the room. I made the mistake of not doing my laundry over the weekend at the home2 'cause I thought a hotel as seemingly nice as this would have a guest laundry. No dice. I asked at the front desk and they directed me to the laund-o-mat next door, but they're cash only and I only have a card while travelling.

Wi-Fi is pretty hit-or-miss. Parking is an extra $30 per day, which I guess is fine. I just wish they would have mentioned it when I made the reservation and had the option of putting it on the corporate card.

A mystery $200 charge was applied to my co-worker's card after the $50 incidental charge. It will be interesting to see if any of them are refunded

The hotel was lovely, unique decor, beautiful common areas (library, lobby, coffee shop). It seems though that the photos were from multiple properties seeing that some of the spaces photographed were not taken in the Austin location where we stayed. Room was just as it was in the photographs, well appointed and lovely.
Make sure to notice that there is a $40. Charge for parking. That was a surprise to us! Not really sure why there is a resort fee.
Would recommend staying here, just be ready for these charges. Central location. Shops, restaurants and shopping nearby.

The hotel is beautiful. We had a room with three bedrooms and it was perfect for a group of 6 and we could hang out in the living room.
The pool is smaller but still very nice the chairs and all the amenities were very nice. It is located about a mile from all the shopping on South Congress. So not super close but was fine for a morning walk for coffee but evening time I would suggest taking an uber instead of walking.

My family and I had a great time at Colton House. Our original room had a small problem, but Sila was quick to get us into a comparable room as soon as she could. All of the staff members that we encountered were top notch. The pool was always clean and a perfect temperature. Simona’s, the attached bar and cafe, was really great and became a daily visit for us. Adam and Kelly were excellent bartenders and the music choices were always on point. In a city full of them, Tacicardia, the food truck on the property, has excellent breakfast tacos. The location isn’t exactly in the heart of SoCo, but it’s a short but nice walk to many great restaurants, bars, and shops. In all, an excellent experience and I could definitely see us coming back to Colton House.

This hotel definitely exceeded all expectations! We stayed in the presidential suite. It was a very large condo-like unit that was very comfortable for two couples. Everything was well appointed, all details were covered. We enjoyed the pool one afternoon too. The location is nice, a 15 min walk to SOCO area and having a H.E.B. Grocery store next door was especially convenient. Will definitely return to this hotel!

Don’t book unless…you have an extra $550 per night for incidentals!!

Terrible and rude front desk staff upon check out. Not what you would expect to find in any business, little less in the hospitality businesses.

Upon check out, I ran into the following issue when trying to pay for my $40 parking. I was asking about how long it would take the $250 hold for incidentals to clear my card…and the young lady said it shouldn’t be longer than an hour or so. But, just to be safe, I told her I would like to pay for my parking using a separate method of payment than the card on file, that already has the $250 hold. She said ok FINE no problem. She then proceeded to charge me $290 for parking!! I now had $250 hold on one card, and $290 for parking on another card! When I asked her why, she said…oh my bad I’m sorry I charged you everything again on this new card! My response to this error was, “so you’re telling me I just paid close to $550 for one night of parking?” And with out skipping a beat, she murmured under her breath in the most sarcastic tone, “it wasn’t even $550!” All in all, I paid close to $750 for a ONE NIGHT STAY. Keep that in mind before you book!

Unfortunately, the closest elevator to my end of the hall room was broken for the length of my stay. It would have been so convenient to get to the food options. Of course, the next nearest was busier than usual and I had to wait for 5 minutes or so twice.

Then, I asked for a one hour late checkout as I was attending a brunch in the hotel itself. Of course, I was denied - guessing the staff is bound by hotel policy and not allowed to have an original thought or make an exception.

Unfortunately I forgot my pair of boots in the room after checkout. There is no doubt I were left them in the room. Checked out Sunday, called Monday and asked if any boots were found. At that time no one had reported turning in the boots, nor were they in lost and found. I was told I would get a call of they were located. I fairly certain they will not get returned, and am disappointed as I did like the hotel, and it seemed like a nice place. For this reason I will not return to this hotel, and can no longer recommend it to others.

The room was spacious and included a small kitchenette, which was a nice feature. The hotel was generally clean and well maintained, although I did find a hair in the shower. Not a major issue, but worth mentioning.

The location is a bit off the beaten path. You'll likely need to drive to most places, even areas that appear relatively close on the map. There is also a bus stop directly in front of the hotel that tended to attract a less desirable crowd at times.

The hotel has great energy and design in the lobby and common areas, though that atmosphere doesn't carry through quite as strongly into the guest rooms. Overall, it was a good stay and offered good value. It was too cold during our visit to use the pool, so I can't comment on that amenity.

I loved this hotel. I could live there. It was gorgeous. Tastefully and beautifully decorated. Comfortable with many seating options where you could socialize, have a drink, or simply relax, amongst beauty and charm. The staff was delightful and kind and answered any questions I had with ease and Grace. They went out of their way to make sure you were taken care of. The pool was gorgeous. The bar served exquisite drinks and the hotel itself is in an excellent location. Off the beaten path so very quiet, but also very close to the activities, shops, and restaurants of South Congress. I will definitely stay here again when traveling to Austin and will look for similar hotels in different cities. Exceptional.

Absolutely luxurious beautifully decorated Hotel. An amazing stay.

You have to learn the lay of the land: for example you have to go to the cafe to order from the food truck but once you figure it out you'll get a fantastic fresh breakfast.

The bar makes excellent cocktails and has rooms that look like a library, and in fact local people pay for this place as a club where they can come and sit, relax drink coffee have cocktails etc. So it's extraordinarily unique luxury experience. Great for all activities in Austin.

We stayed at the property because of the positive reviews but now I’m thinking they might be fake. I wanted to celebrate in Austin with my wife and have a nice dinner downtown, as she was getting ready she found out the shower didn’t have hot water. I went to the reception desk to see what the problem was the response was that I was out of luck, that the entire second floor shares the same water heater and that probably everyone was taking a shower at the same time (this was at 10pm so I found that answer hard to believe) I asked if there was a way to solve this issue, and the response was that I was in room 205 and that the water also had to travel a long way so there was nothing that can be done. I find it hard to believe that for a hotel that claims to be a small
Luxury hotel couldn’t even provide hot water to take a shower, stay somewhere else, you have been warned!
