The Driskill

The Driskill is not just a hotel, it's a talking point. We had a great time discussing art, culture, history, etc with all the guests we had in our group throughout our stay. Impeccibly clean venue and cozy bedrooms. Loved all the restored details in each nook of the property!

Comfortable bed but historic room is small and poorly decorated, especially compared for how much you pay. Hot water was having issues when we checked in, but someone came and fixed. If you want to pay to be on 6th street in Austin, this is it. We won’t come again. Not worth the money for the room. Feels like we paid for the hotel location and how beautiful the public part of the hotel, not the room itself. The room was a let down.

I arrived this afternoon for two nights for business. After just a few hours, this place is in such rough shape that I told the desk I am leaving a night early. Do yourself a favor and stay away until it lands. The walls here are **paper** thin. For the past two hours, I have heard nothing but the constant drone of carpet cleaners in my ear, as I tried to work in my room. It’s been impossible to concentrate. I just called, and we apparently have another hour or more to go. On Sunday night of Easter Weekend. When I want to be in bed very early for meetings. There’s no water for hours tomorrow, which you don’t learn about until on check-in. There’s a deal with a local Gold’s if you want a gym. Everything else is under construction. My hotels make efforts to alert guests to the chaos of renovations. I love classic hotels - the Palace in San Francisco is one of the best. I have no idea what is happening here with the Driskill, but would recommend you stay away until it lands.

An absolutely stunning property. The history of the hotel is incredibly interesting. Staff could not do enough to ensure guests are having the most wonderful time. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. The bar was unfortunately closed when I stayed there but the lobby cafe and bar was a great spot to have a drink or meal.

We stayed in a beautiful room with a balcony. The amenities were rare: fluffy robes; comfortable bed; plush towels; and an actual bathtub! The staff were wonderfully kind and accommodating. The drinks were excellent and breakfast was delicious. Truly excellent service and kindness at every turn.
