Hotel Magdalena

Nice outdoorsy escape in the heart of Austin. Great breakfast. Cozy rooms with cool decor. Elevator wasn’t working correctly which was annoying, but it happens.

The hotel is beautiful and stay was great. I wish I would have known kids were not allowed in the pool after 6pm ahead of time though. Hotel room was very clean, but the door to the bathroom was clear and frosted- it was not the cleanest. There was also damage to the nightstand and desk that in comparison to the rest of the grounds was a little disappointing. Otherwise a great stay.

The hotel lost our 6 night booking and had to downgrade our room significantly for the first three nights. Apparently this was a “technical error” due to new hotel ownership, but the hotel did not appear to take full responsibility and they hardly apologised. Generally disengaged, slow, uncommunicative and impersonal front desk who do not appear to have any regard for customer satisfaction. At every step we’ve had to follow up with them for things to be actioned - zero proactiveness or communication. Also note that the rooms are noisy with poor lighting. Dominic the pool and bar attendant was amazing though, which was a blessing.

We traveled for a wedding in Lockhart but chose to stay here because we liked the area better. We loved the vibe of the hotel and the proximity to everything. I will say that the king with patio room was smaller than we expected but we asked to upgrade/change our room at our expense and they were able to accommodate beyond our expectations. We ended up in one of the suites and it was really great for our family (two adults and a 3 year old). It was the type of room we would've stayed in before having a child as well - great for hanging with friends for the weekend. Highly recommend!

A distinctive hotel in a prime location for visiting beautiful Austin. The corner rooms with terraces are comfortable, though the limited interior lighting is a slight downside. Excellent cleanliness. Recommended.
