It was very disappointing that my decision making for this hotel was the rooftop patio and the fire pit. It looked very nice and relaxing on the picture presented which is what my trip was for (relaxation). I did not have that experience. When requested for the fire pit to be turned on, I was informed that the engineer is the only one that can turn it on. He had left for the day and the sun hadn’t set yet. Shouldn’t the engineer be scheduled later to turn on/off the fire pits which typically happens after the sun sets? Perhaps having a shift for a secondary engineer would be beneficial. The hotel doesn’t have any amenities. No self parking available. Have to park out on the street or pay for valet. Will kit stay here ever again. There’s better Hotels with way better amenities.

This is an okay hotel. Location is not great, near some deserted lots, 15 min walk to downtown. The receptionist that checked us in forgot to give us breakfast vouchers which resulted in an awkward next day breakfast situation. The second receptionist we spoke to was very nice and resolved the issue quickly. Coffee machine in the room works only if you hold it shut the entire time. Room was clean but some things definitely need an upgrade, chipped paint and rusty toilet aren’t the best accessories. Cleaning staff left a dirty rag on the counter one time, it can happen but also shouldn’t…. Breakfast was delicious, lots of good choices and fresh. Bed was comfortable, room was spacious. Still waiting for an invoice though :)

Parking was $60 a day with tax, however, the young men parking cars were great, personable, and very helpful!
Location was very good with the exception of heavy traffic at certain hours. We were 2 miles from our destination and it took approximately 15 minutes to do that.
I would have given the Hotel a five star rating however the sheets on my bed we’re so short they weee about 8” from the end of the bed and would not tuck in, so my feet rested on the mattress pad. The top sheet was the same way so during the night it ended up being wadded around me until I tossedi it on the floor.
I requested the room be made up on the second night, but when we came back, it was untouched. I made up the beds and called housekeeping for clean towels. Which they brought me in a timely manner.

Hotel was ok on first inspection but the cracks started to appear the more I looked. Some random spots on the duvet and pillow cases. A weird smoking smell appeared when we came back to the room for the night. Shampoo bottles about to fall off the wall and scuffs in the bathtub. Valet basically being the only parking option besides a beaten down lot across the street and a parking garage down the road. Overall, not a bad place if you only need a night, but I can’t imaging staying there for more than that.

Our stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Austin University Capitol District was absolutely wonderful! The hotel is beautiful, modern, and exceptionally clean. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, always providing friendly and professional service with a smile. The location is perfect—close to downtown, the University of Texas, restaurants, and many of Austin’s attractions, making it easy to explore the city.

We especially appreciated the comfortable beds, well-maintained facilities, and the overall welcoming atmosphere. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Austin and will definitely stay here again on our next trip!

The room overall looked clean. Until i was taking a shower and went to use a washcloth and it had black mascara all over it.. I was not wearing any make up so it most definitely was not mine. Also, upon getting ready to leave this morning, we noticed something hanging out from the end of the mattress, and after looking, it appears there were some type of restraints left by previous guests, which then made me question how well the rooms were really cleaned. Had we not been in a hurry to get to a graduation this morning, I would have talked to someone at the front counter. Room 1413!

I recently stayed here while attending the QL Summit in Austin, and I can honestly say this was one of the best hotel experiences I've had.

From the moment I arrived, the level of professionalism and hospitality was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to make every interaction welcoming, friendly, and seamless. It's rare to find a team that consistently delivers such outstanding service, but everyone I encountered genuinely seemed committed to creating a first-class experience.

The property itself was phenomenal beautifully maintained, clean, elegant, and comfortable. Every detail reflected a high standard of excellence, from the atmosphere and amenities to the overall guest experience.

After long days at the event, it was refreshing to return to a hotel that felt both luxurious and relaxing. The combination of top-tier accommodations and an incredible staff truly set this place apart.

Thank you to the entire team for making my stay so memorable. I will absolutely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional hotel experience.

We booked a certain type of room with a city view since it was our first time ever in Austin. Get to our room and our view was a white brick wall of a building. We asked the front desk and they “made it right” with a free breakfast. Our room was muggy and smelled like urine. Waitstaff was rude except for one guy. On the upside, we weren’t far from the venue we were going to for the concert and the valet there is super nice
