    Parking was easy and great restaurants nearby. The property itself felt safe but I would drive in the neighborhood. Especially at night. We walked and wished we had driven. We're from Portland OR. So to say we didn't feel great says something. But with that change I would totally stay again. Staff was amazing and accommodating and the property was beautiful and very comfortable.

    The Heywood Hotel is located in close proximity to almost everything. There are so many wonderful restaurants nearby along East Cesar Chavez Street and East 6th Street. We also enjoyed shopping and eating on South Congress. The staff was very helpful to us. It was nice to be able to park and the walk to your room is a very short distance. We also took the Austin City Limits theatre tour which was very enjoyable. We chose the Heywood mainly for its close proximity of the Malin meeting complex.

    We stayed for two nights. The king patio room is spacious and comfortable. The bath tub is a very nice feature with a skylight. If you want a romantic room, this is it. There’s a small but intimate patio for two right outside the door with a privacy gate. The staff was amazing and immediately contacted us prior to our stay to see if we needed anything to make our stay more comfortable. Jayde was an amazing hostess and went above and beyond our expectations.we will definitely return to this beautiful boutique hotel in the near future. I highly recommend it.

    Loved the complete set up of the hotel. I especially enjoyed the outside patio area. Additionally, the extra treats that were left in the room were a nice surprise! The hotel is conveniently located to walk to the lake area or into the city. The food options around the hotel are excellent - great food truck tacos, barbecue, restaurants, and other delicious options. Most importantly, the hotel staff and owner were extremely accommodating and helpful. The Heywood hotel is a great place to stay away from the busy downtown area.

It was perfect as I was looking for something healthy after a long flight. While I was getting lunch, I received a text from Maris that my room was ready, So after lunch I walked back and settled in.

    This boutique hotel is very near downtown, cycle path and innumerable restaurants and nightlife. They have a collection of good bicycles included and we rode extensively, first the lake/river bike path and then all over downtown which is vibrant. There are some street bike paths but not everywhere but nevertheless we felt quite safe. The hotel is also walkable to downtown if you are vigorous. The neighbourhood is eclectic but feels very safe. The hotel is an interesting architectural work of fusion of old and new and our room was perfect.

    My husband and I grew up in Austin and stayed here for a long weekend visit. Our room was very clean and nicely decorated with vintage furniture and a well-stocked (and surprisingly reasonably priced!) refrigerator and snacks. The bathroom was spacious, well-lot, and clean, and the shower had excellent water pressure and an amazing rain shower head. Our only complaint was the incredibly firm pillows on an otherwise comfortable bed. The staff members were warm and welcoming, ready with suggestions of nearby watering holes and taco trucks to try (an Austin must). The neighborhood is thriving, with a ton of cute and trendy bars, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely book this hotel again!
