Reviews for The Driskill

Beautiful, historic Victorian hotel in the heart of Austin

Reviewed 2 days ago

Beautiful hotel and fantastic location for downtown Austin business meetings. Staff, especially Chris, was very friendly and helpful and valet was easy as could be.

Classy Hotel

Lobby is beautiful, but is a very expensive hotel. Austin has a lot of extra taxes. No parking and is downtown, but many restaurants around. Do not recommend walking around late night.

Nice Historic Hotel in Downtown Austin

Reviewed 4 days ago

Stayed with my family for a couple of days while traveling through Texas in August 2025. The staff were very nice and the room was clean, unfortunately since the hotel is old/historic, the AC unit in the room was weak & couldn’t keep up. Probably 76-78 degrees in the room at night. The second negative would be because construction was going on, the beautiful bar from pictures, was not open. The bar was located in the main lobby. Elevators are slow & take forever. The plus side, the bakery was delicious, had a coffee/pastry every morning & they didn’t disappoint. If you are visiting Austin, the hotel is cool to see but probably wouldn’t stay in again.

Beautiful hotel, not great staff

Reviewed 2 weeks ago

The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are unique. Great bar and breakfast cafe. However, my bathroom door didn’t close and the sink did t work. The star decor on the bed was broken and ripped my Lululemon leggings/scraped my leg. When I brought it up to the front desk, it was not addressed at all.

Beautiful old hotel with loads of character and a possible haunting!
