Stress Free Stay

We were in the Austin area for a family wedding. Other family members stayed at Hotel Ella as well. We had a nice time at Hotel Ella. It is an intimate setting. We all had a great day at their pool and enjoyed their great customer service. The valet was also convenient and very fast.

Not worth the hype

I was genuinely excited to stay at this boutique hotel after reading glowing reviews, but that excitement faded almost immediately upon entering our room. The first thing that hit us was a strange, musty smell, and the room was uncomfortably warm. Thankfully, the A/C kicked in once we adjusted it, but that initial impression was hard to shake. We didn’t linger long since we had a concert to attend, but when we returned later that night, things didn’t improve. Trying to sleep was a challenge—the lights from the patio streamed in so brightly that it felt like daylight. The trim around the windows seemed to amplify the glow, making it nearly impossible to rest. At least the room was quiet, which was the only real comfort. Morning brought more disappointment. The towels were shockingly thin and worn—definitely not what you’d expect from a hotel claiming four-star status. As I was getting ready to leave, I sat in the chair near the coffee table to put on my shoes, only to find it covered in old drink rings and grime. It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. While the staff were friendly and polite, the overall experience was far from luxurious. This hotel is in serious need of a refresh. Based on our stay, I wouldn’t rate it anywhere near a 9.0 or call it a four-star experience. Disappointing and surprising, to say the least.

This place is old, dirty and loud. The AC was so loud that if I didn’t have ear plugs. I would’ve changed rooms. We stayed here last year and it was similar. We tried again bc it’s so close to my daughter’s school and they had a good deal but no more!!!!! $50 valet which is pretty common but they had 1 person working so we waited so long to get our car. The app you are suppose to use wasn’t working so the valet guy argued with us and said he couldn’t fetch our car bc we might be trying to steal it. What?!?!? It was ridiculous. Soooooo many better options. The girl at check in wasn’t very friendly either. Actually none of the staff were. Stay away!!

Geeat historical hang

I was so excited to stay here. I passed this building all the time as an architecture student. The staff is very nice and accommodating. We had a mini suite (which is an extra roomy room) and it was adjacent to the old balcony area next to the columns. We had a friend come and we ate dinner out there with food ordered from the hotel. Everything was tasty, and delivered with gusto. It was fun

This hotel is beautiful and quaint. We didn't try the restaurant because it was closed but noticed it had good reviews. The pool area was very cute. I loved that there was Nespresso in the room. The only complaint that I have is that there is required valet parking and the cost is $50 per night, which I think is very excessive. It is also inconvenient to have to request your car every time (although the valet staff was very quick in retrieving the car once it was requested). I would stay here again if I didn't have a rental car.

Boutique hotel experience

I wish I had upgraded to a room by the pool! Great accommodation. Excellent round the clock care. Easy check in. Comfy bed. Great restaurant with a changing menu and relaxing pool! I loved that you could order food by the pool as well. Valet is expensive overnight but worth it.
