Great property and vibe but probably won’t stay there again/ did NOT like the room. Very small room, tiny bathroom- felt like a small studio- we prefer more space and privacy. A balcony would also be nice.

My favorite hotel in Austin

My favorite hotel! I really love everything about it—location, design, the rooms and convenience of everything, the soap, the staff, and more. It’s amazing, and I’ll come back every time :)

I used to love this hotel

I used to love this hotel; however, this experience wasn’t as great as previous ones. The staff was friendly but not very effective at solving issues. Breakfast was disappointing—Two Hands and Soho House are nearby, and we recommend going there instead. The guy at the pool was exceptional: attentive, efficient, and high-quality service. Housekeeping was also great—everything was very clean. However, the minibar was incomplete, and I was left waiting for hours for items I had to request at the front desk, which never arrived. My Hotels.com benefits weren’t honored, and overall, it was clear they were short-staffed.

We will definitely be back, the room was extremely clean, bed sheets had no smell compared to other hotels. We fell in love with this place. I will say the parking is very tricky, you will have three options, pay valet parking with hotel magdanela for $55, garage parking $70+ per day or street parking but you have to be lucky.

Cute Pool and Hotel

I really liked this hotel and would stay again for the location and the pool. The staff is very friendly. My hotel room window faced a back alley area where trash is stored and on Monday mornings at 6:30 am - you can hear the garbage trucks right out your window dumping the trash out. I mentioned this to the hotel and they called them "delivery trucks" which was off-putting. I saw the garbage trucks.

Exceptional Stay with Outstanding Service and Desi

We had an exceptional experience at Hotel Magdalena. The staff was attentive and welcoming, and the amenities exceeded our expectations. Our room was thoughtfully designed, combining comfort with aesthetic appeal. The on-site restaurant was also excellent, offering high-quality dining in a relaxed setting. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and look forward to returning in the future.

Meh

The rooms are small and oddly set up. The sink is in the room and the bathroom is quite small. The bed is facing the back wall/window so the door to the room is behind your head. The grounds has a nice feel, but does not compare to the other Bunkhouse hotels that we have stayed at. The pool is quite small and there are a limited number of loungers around the pool. It was a fine hotel, but not worth paying a premium for in my opinion.
