We really enjoyed Hotel San Jose. The property is very retro with a cool vibe. It feels very secluded but is right in the middle of South Congress. There are tons of restaurants and shops with walking distance. There was plenty of on site parking without the valet hassle. We had a pool day and there was a bar service there. The let us bring our dog and even had a bed and food and water bowls waiting in the room for her! Would love to stay again!

Sounds silly to mention but if you have ever been to Austin or any big city parking is a beast. Not so at Hotel San Jose with its on site easy in parking lot. After parking the pivot door directing you to the cool vibe lobby sets the tone for your stay along with a cheerful personable perfectly off beat staff. Sheets are soft to touch, beds strike the perfect balance of firm and give and the high polished concrete floors are delightfully cool under foot on a hot texas summer day. Stay hack: be sure to arrive in time to enjoy happy hour on the courtyard. To nibble and Bev under gracious oaks with quiet hum of nearby parties chatting is a delightful way to start your visit or evening before heading out Congress street. Hotel San Jose is ideally located for those looking for the non tourist standard Austin experience. Zilker park and evening bat flights are nearby as well as great eats, dive bars and unexpected shopping. Hotel San Jose is my go to whenever I am in Austin.

Excellent stay! The staff were friendly and attentive and the property is steps away from fantastic bars and restaurants and a quick walk down to the town lake hike and bike trail. Most importantly, I slept solidly.

perfect Austin vibes at Hotel San Jose

perfect Austin vibes at Hotel San Jose; the property has been around for decades and was originally a motor court but has been enclosed--we loved the historic yet modern feel. The location on South Congress had great walkability; they had great coffee available in the lobby and we enjoyed sitting around the small pool in the afternoon
