    “The hotel feels like staying in a tree house. Great location for walking distance from shops and restaurants. Great pool, wish it had more seating.”

    “I always love staying at Hotel Magdalena as a staycation, since I live in Austin. Its like an oasis right off South Congress, so you are able to relax in the comfortable rooms, enjoy their beautiful pool surrounded by trees & then just few steps away are amazing shops & restaurants, including Summer House on their property. The food & drinks are definitely elevated compared to other hotels. I can't wait to go back!”

  • Great location and amenities with comfy and clean rooms.

  • Dark Unsafe Room

    2/10

    lorifP1548FI · Business · 2026-07-29

    “This was one if the worst places I ever stayed. My room was booked far away from everyone else in my blocked booking. I arrived early and everybody kept getting a room ahead of me. The reason given seemd bogus. My room had no air-conditioning, I had to walk alone in the dark while finding my room and getting to and fro since the lighting was broken (a known issue). They did finally move my room but only because the air-conditioning didn't work”

  • Stay somewhere else

    “I will never be visiting this location again. Rude FD staff for absolutely zero reason, fire alarms going off, and loud construction first thing in the AM.. not worth it. I hate sounding so negative but I'd want to know these things before booking a room in Austin, especially since there are so many other options. Also, the room setup is just odd. Your door is behind you while you sleep, which maybe that's a me thing, but I like to see my whole room when I'm going to sleep somewhere I'm unfamiliar with.”

  • Noisy as hell

    1/10

    Adolpho · solo traveller · 2026-07-04

    “It’s SUPER NOISY. Avoid at all costs staying here. They built the hotel right next to a distribution center of some sorts that have really loud trucks every early morning loading stuff and making crazy noise. The windows are not sound proof and won’t block it either.”

  • Excellent stay

    “The vibe, the staff all excellent. The room had a private, screened balcony with a working ceiling fan. It was excellent. Lots of tree coverage so it feels secluded. Only complaint: was the bed was as hard as a rock.”
