Hotel Magdalena is a hotel project from Austin’s acclaimed Bunkhouse in collaboration with renowned architecture firm Lake | Flato, located on Music Lane in the popular South Congress neighborhood of Austin. At 89 rooms, it is Bunkhouse’s largest hotel to date, and features four new, but distinct, buildings connected by exposed elevated walkways and courtyards, creating a treehouse feel inside the grounds. The property sits at varying elevations, an homage to the slopes of Barton Springs, and the lush grounds are planted with native Texas species including Bigtooth Maples, Redbuds, Meyer Lemon Trees, Yaupon Holly, and Little Gem Magnolia.

Delightful setting and surprisingly peaceful atmosphere right off SoCo; pool was lovely, rooms very well laid out and a very comfortable bed. Attentive service and staff support. Definitely my go to for SoCo area from now on.

The location can't be beat. We looked at several Bunkhouse properties along South Congress. This had the best location and is tucked away from the main road. We walked for coffees and breakfast tacos daily and enjoyed all the Western Wear shopping options (Allen's Boots, Ariat, and much more). We traveled with a 12 and 10 year old and were very comfortable. The bed quality was outstanding. No noise, even when there was a vibrant wedding in the courtyard and party at the pool. Lots of neat things going on. They ran out of towels on our last day, so we literally had hand towels for the pool and wet shower towels by day 3. The water situation was a little odd, too, as we had to request cans regularly, but those were always available. This didn't bother us much. We will absolutely go back when we visit Austin next. Great value compared to comparable hotels these days.

Nice location but not a great experience. We stayed 2 nights. The pillows are the worst I have ever had and the mattress is lumpy and not comfortable. The room is bare bones-no bathrobes, no cotton balls, no vanity mirror. Room service did not provide clean towels even though we left our used ones on the floor. The check in staff was surly. No smile no Welcome to the hotel and the room was not ready and we had to wait and as they never called us to let us know the room was ready, we went to the front desk and asked about it and it was clear they had forgotten to let us know. Also the parking is $55 a night and at the san Jose which I think is nicer, the parking is $30 a night. The bar they have that they tout at check in (the equipment room) you have to reserve but they don't tell you this so you will not get in either. Finally the coffee that is free in the lobby at 7 am was cold and not great. There are much better experiences on SOCO and given I am there about once a month, I would go to another hotel.

We had a fantastic experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, especially Ivy and Colton at the front desk, who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. Stylish hotel and great location. Highly recommend.
