Historic old mansion turned hotel in good location

Pros: Staff, location, and boutique size
Cons: Amenities in room need to be updated: my tv didn't work, radio iphone charger was outdated, AC did not cool adequately
Location: UT Campus, downtown dining, music and shopping
This boutique hotel located close to UT's campus and downtown is always a favorite. The staff is super friendly and personable and offer the kind of service that is getting harder to find these days...i.e. I forgot my phone charger and the lady at the front desk loaned me her personal one for the night. The mansion has restored rooms that make you feel like you are staying at your grandmother's house: eclectic furnishings and amenities, some which work and some that do not...

A very nice hotel close to the university

Location: Its one of the closer hotels to the university. It is pretty far from the nightlife of 6th street. That could be a plus or a minus.
Wonderful friendly staff, beautiful old mansion, great buckwheat pancakes in their restaurant, and take time to enjoy a drink from their bar on the veranda. They make an excellent Pimm's cup. My one complaint and its not much of one is that if your room is one the west side of the annex you will not have much for a view.

Love Hotel Ella, can't wait to go back!

Pros: Very friendly, helpful staff. Huge rooms and the beds were so comfortable. Lots of attention is paid to the details and that sets hotel Ella apart.
Location: Located in the heart of Austin. Plenty of shopping and places to eat nearby. Very close to campus.
A friend and I stayed here because it was close to our concert venue. We fell in love with this charming hotel. Everything was perfect right down to the artisan chocolates at turn-down service.
