Top Museum District Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn by Hilton Austin East Side 5th Street

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, friendly staff, great parking, safety features, close to Moody Center . Will be back!"

Aloft by Marriott Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at the Aloft during UT's freshman move in. The staff were helpful and very hospitable and the rooms were as expected. What I especially enjoyed were the restaurant options and proximity to other restaurants in the area. My goal in staying downtown was to get a feel for the "Austin energy" in the city and this hotel exceeded my expectations. I fell in love with the decor, and the food so much that I ordered a to-go order of the quinoa and cauliflower taco from the 2nd floor and a few pastries from the first floor. I love the 2nd floor patio vibe and took a few pics! I will definitely be back!!!"

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in downtown Austin! Rooms were clean, updated, and spacious. The amenities, such as the rooftop pool and rooftop restaurant/bar were very nice. The front desk staff were very efficient. Parking was expensive, but on par with any other downtown hotel's parking rates. Very, very convenient location to Rainey Street (just steps away)! Definitely recommend!"

The LINE Austin

10/10 Excellent

"We had a staycation here for 4th of July weekend. So I understand the crowds, but the pool was maxed out the entire time, it was on the smaller side for this size hotel. A little noisy just due to location. This hotel was walking distance to s congress, auditorium shores and right in the middle of downtown. The taco service inside was amazing. Coffee shop was reasonable. Thanks for the memories!"
