With all the extra charges at check in and check out, (without room-service) one might be better off to book the room directly with the hotel instead of an off-site platform, no savings, but worth it. Pool area is really great. the place has an authentic Austin vibe. Staff are among the best. We will stay here again.

I’m so pleased I booked this hotel - it couldn’t have been better. I stayed for 8 nights and the location was brilliant, walkable to everything I wanted to do and close to several excellent food options (Terry Black’s for barbecue, P Terry’s for burgers, and many others). The room was incredibly clean (I walked around the room barefoot on the concrete flooring and feet stayed clean - very impressive), spacious and comfortable with everything I needed, and no noise from neighbouring rooms. Excellent service from all the team, they were really helpful and welcoming. The coffee shop and pool at the hotel were also fantastic. I didn’t use room service but did order food at the pool one day and that was great, and very good value too. The rooms and all areas of the hotel are very well designed and very well maintained, and I hope to have a reason to return to Austin so that I can stay at the Carpenter Hotel again.

Every single staff member I met was gleeful and helpful. Rooms are great, elevators quick, food is phenomenal (do they have a Michelin chef there?). I can’t say enough great things. I’m 60 and feared I was going to be aged out by the under crowd, but never felt younger. Keep up the great work

This was our second stay at the Carpenter. The location is walkable, and easy to get around to other areas of Austin. We liked sitting out on the patio in the room. The room service for coffee in the morning was very quick, as was the service at the pool. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

I really loved everything about this hotel. I got to enjoy the saltwater pool. The restaurant and cafe all had fantastic food and beverages. Aesthetically very cool inside and out. All of the staff were so friendly and made me feel right at home. Location was perfect as I was able to run in zilker park and walk to Barton Springs for a swim.

The hotel was easy to find and located where we could easily visit all the places we wanted to go. The restaurant was amazing, and the rooms were comfortable, but the coffee shop was overcrowded. It would have been nice to take our laptops and sit with our morning coffee, but it was really crowded. The bar was a nice alternative, but we had our teenage son with us, and he wasn't comfortable with this option.
