• Very elegant hotel.
• There was a loud fan noise in the AC unit all night.

“This was a very nice hotel that I would come back and spend more time. I highly recommend this hotel. It is right on 6th street but not noisy. Do not valet park! It is very expensive. Park in the garage 1 block north for about $10 per day.”

• Wine selection in the mini bar.
• The bathroom is way too small! Felt like we were in New York or Chicago.

• Every room was non-smoking! Very unique and old. Beautiful.
• Traffic around hotel when trying to check in - awful.

“What a beautiful old hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean. I really appreciated the fact that the entire hotel is a non-smoking facility. It was beautifully decorated. I hope to stay there again and get time to really enjoy the hotel and its bar area.”

“The hotel is in the perfect location in Austin. It has character, ambiance and excellent staff who were always there to help without being asked. Their anticipation of our needs was impressive and I have lived on 4 continents and being in a variety of hotels. I loved the history of the Driskill and Texas proudly displayed on the walls of the hotel. The latte in the hotel bakery rivals the ones I have had in Rome! It was a truly wonderful experience.”

“Old world charm from a bye gone era, grand, opulent, one of the most beautiful hotels we've ever stayed in throughout the world. Perfect location downtown Austin.”

• Historical lobby.
• Historical means old and tiny rooms.

“Old elevators, even got stuck a couple of times. To get in bathroom, so small you had to close there door to use anything.”

• The Historic look and feel.
• Room could have been a little more plush.

“The Driskall was an unexpected delight. The hotel has kept it's "cattle drive" look and feel and is reminiscent of days gone-by. My teenage son was overwhelmed. A hotel like an other.”

• The staff was very helpful.
• There is nothing that I did not like. I liked every bit of it.

“Staying at the Driskill was a wonderful experience. The staff was helpful and the reservations manager even came down to meet us and make sure we had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and the history of the place made it very special. Our kids learned a lot! And the hotel staff even went out of their way to make sure our kids saw all the neat things in the hotel. I love this hotel!”

• Location and friendliness of the staff.
• The valet parking got my car stuck in a garage and I missed an appointment.

“I liked it, but there was remodeling going on and the restaurant was closed, and I don't ever remember the piano being played, which is something I was looking forward to in the piano bar. I ate dinner in the bar area, and service was good, as well as the food, but I feel I should have been given a price break with all that was going on!”

• Dog Friendly and nice property.
• Not a lot of places to walk the dog around the property due to Downtown location.

“Nice property, good service, charming rooms, valet always says "welcome back".”
