Small rooms, decent breakfast, and nice service, but tiny tvs with basic cable and you can hear the bus from 6 in the morning til midnight. Sheets nice, crawl foot tub, pretty bedding. The balcony gives you a view of an athletic dorm. They do have a great fridge with drinks, tea, lemonade, and wine. They give you ear plugs,... More

This is an old fashioned traditional house with traditional furnishings to match. Very nice atmosphere and everything you need. Breakfast was perfect. A little bit noisy but you have to expect that being so close to the University.

I would describe this as more on a cups of being a small hotel than B&B. The house is full of character and charm. Extremely friendly welcome from staff upon arrival, which immediately made the day after a long journey. All the nice touches have been listed in previous posts. The construction was not such a problem from my experience... More

I had a great stay at the Star of Texas Inn and can only report possitive comments on every aspect from booking to check out. Located on a neighborhood street not far from the University and "downtown", the Star of Texas Inn offers two converted Victorian-styled houses side by side. I was in building 2 room #20. The room was... More

Background story - a GF and I decided to go to Austin for a girl weekend... spur of the moment let's get out of our city and do something else decision. Looking for a place to stay, everything seemed to be booked except for Super 8 and Motel 6... the rates at Super were $300+/night... Yah. It turns out the... More

This B&B is located about two blocks from the UT-Austin campus, which has the LBJ Library, The Blanton Art Museum, and many more cultural venues and restaurants within walking distance. It's important to note that parking is impossible to find in Austin, so you might as well walk. As others have mentioned, the cookies in the alcove and the wine... More

What they won't tell you is that UT is erecting a 10 story dorm across the street to house "All UT Athletes". Work goes on ALL the time. It's extremely noisy, dirty and highly unpleasant. You know you're in trouble when your room has a bowl full of packaged ear plugs by the bed!!!!! It's a shame, because this used... More

I stay at the Star of Texas once a year. It is quite convenient to UT. Good breakfast, beverages in the refrigerator, and cookies by the door. Parking next to the house. I've never seen the owners; the staff are quite friendly and helpful. WiFi available, and an old fashioned computer with printer, too.

We stayed here for a couple nights at the tail end of our vacation. It is very close to the UT campus. Lots of students walking by all day long. Right now there is construction of a new residence hall literally right behind the B&B which makes it a bit noisy during the day but they finish working by 5... More
