Top Museum District Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Austin/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very positive atmosphere!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Austin @ The University / Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check in. Room was bigger than I expected. While breakfast was standard fair with a few added things which I am sure others appreciated. The Muzak that played in the breakfast area was great and started day off right. Elevators-and my room was on the top floor- were great, hardly ever had to wait on one. And for me the hotel was 4 blocks from where I was spending my time so that was plus"
