    Perfect for a fun weekend getaway
    Stayed in late July and enjoyed all aspects of the hotel. Great location, fun lobby bar, nice pool, great room. Very cool vibe and seems to attract some locals as well. Ideal to walk up and down Congress and e-bikes are provided for free use.

    Excellent Stay
    We loved everything about this great hotel. The access was easy from the garage to the room which cannot be said form many hotels around downtown Austin. We used the pool on both days of our stay and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. We will definitely be back.
    Good Morning Ctalbert246, Thank you for choosing South Congress Hotel for your recent visit to Austin and for taking the time to write about your stay. We are so grateful you enjoyed your time here and were able to kick back and relax at the pool. We feel so lucky to have the pool deck raised, creating the perfect oasis in the heart of South Congress. We look forward to welcoming you back soon and hope you stay safe in the meantime. Kindly, Hanna

    Excellent Location in a Hip Hotel
    Our 4 night stay started nicely enough with an unasked for room upgrade. Unfortunately, Room 351 was situated adjacent to a collection of air conditioner units just outside that corner of the building. The incessant loud humming and squeaking of those A/C units kept me up all night! However, the next morning the front desk was very accommodating in relocating us to a quieter location. So, other than this initial fuss, our stay was very pleasant. The facility is clean, modern and stylish. The location is perfect. South Congress is a quaint fun part of Austin. There are numerous shopping and restaurant options within short walking distance. The valet service for the car was also stellar. Of course, valet is also $34 a night. We were on a couple only getaway... so, the room set up worked for us. I would advise families to ask about the bathroom situation since there's a window from the bedroom directly looking into rain shower. This would not have worked with my teenagers! Lol.
    Dear 986betsys, Thank you for visiting the South Congress Hotel and for taking the time to review your stay. We apologize for the initial inconvenience of the noise from the Air Conditioning, but are so happy we were able to place you in a room that was more accommodating. We feel so lucky to be located in the Heart of the South Congress District and are grateful you were able to experience some of our neighboring restaurants and shops. As for the peek-a-boo window in the shower, we are able to pop up a quick curtain if you do choose to return with your teenagers, just mention it when you make your booking. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly, should you like assistance in planning your next trip to Austin. We look forward to welcoming you back. Kindly, Hanna hanna.avdey@southcongresshotel.com

This place is a whole vibe of comfort and upscale without the pretentiousness. I was here on business for one night but managed to interact with at least four different front desk and wait staff. All were so welcoming, attentive, and kind. I ate dinner in the bar area and the guacamole was the best I’ve had in ages. There was a DJ playing and it was such good music, I stayed down there relaxing longer than I expected. The room was dimly lit but not a major issue. The bed was very comfortable so I woke well rested and before my phone alarm went off. Coffee downstairs is free and very good. Will totally be my go to when coming back to Austin.

To anyone looking for a chic, well-designed, and perfectly positioned hotel on South Congress in Austin, TX, my wife and I would highly recommend South Congress Hotel. Our room was great, the atmosphere is cool but relaxed, and we were within easy walking distance to many great restaurants, shops, etc. Staff is excellent and the pool/pool bar is great. Good job, SCH!

Great hotel but no coffee in room. If you are a coffee drinker and want a leisurely lay in bed morning…just know you will have to get dressed and go down to the lobby for coffee. Rooms are fine. Location is great.

Hotel was very comfortable from the lobby to the rooms. Lobby bar had great service and front desk staff was very friendly, helpful and made checking in and out a quick painless process. Only wish there was coffee available in the rooms.

This is a good hotel to consider if you're looking for a boutique type of hotel with lot of amenities (pool, fitness room, bar, cafe, restaurants). The hotel has somewhat of a party and young vibe. However it can get loud if you're facing the front street. All the staff I came across was nice and courteous. The pool area is very nice.

We had our wedding here, it was amazing, the food the stuff the location, we couldn’t have picked a better place. Our room was comped the night of our wedding and it was AMAZING. We stayed in the Milton suite, so much space and over looked the pool. Everything was so clean and the staff was so attentive. The location is amazing so central and walkable.
