Reviews for The Loren Austin
Terrible experience
We had an absolutely terrible experience. We chose this hotel for a staycation to enjoy the pool and hotel amenities and also to take our daughter to see the July 4th fireworks downtown. We ended up spending most of our time waiting around the hotel lobby for our room to be ready (with our 3 year old and our dog). Room was finally ready over 2 hours after check in time. Staff was incredibly unhelpful. It was a waste of our afternoon and our $900. The pool was also inaccessible the following morning because they were putting chemicals in the water during regular pool hours.

Perfect Austin Hotel
Fabulous hotel with the best staff in the business. With our son attending UT Austin this Fall we will be staying here every time we visit!

Terrible
Checked in and shower grate was fully detached and just propped up in the shower with inside drainage exposed. Tried to tell the receptionist many times politely and was just offered to PAY extra money to upgrade. She seemed to not want to make it right and brushed it off. Completely unacceptable to check into a room that way at a five star luxury hotel. Checked out and was charged an extra $25 on breakfast with just “other” on a receipt that didn’t match the receipt I had. Again, receptionist just said “sorry I don’t really know how they bill things up there”. It felt like a waste of time to try to resolve with the staff because no one seemed to care. At Valet, our car was brought out and parked and we stood there asking for help/the keys while valet staff ignored us. We had to stand there staring at our car. We were disappointed and honestly surprised by the poor experience we had. We were very much looking forward to our stay.

Austin Oasis
This beautiful property was a vacation in itself! So many thoughtful touches made our stay comfortable and relaxing. And, it is across the street from easy access to lovely walking paths along the lake and many other things to see and do. We enjoyed exploring the city, but always looked forward to returning to our comfy room at The Loren.

People that make all the difference
Love to come for a coffee here. First of all coffee is good, but then also love the staff. Julijana and Enrik are incredible. Love seeing their faces ones a week.
