Hotel San Jose

Best team ever! So hospitable

Great stay. Highly recommend.

Beautiful grounds and wonderfully restored Motel in great location

Everything was perfect

Amazing stay at the hotel San Jose - highly recommend. Great location, great rooms, awesome courtyard and drinks. Love it. Will be back.

Parking. Terrible stay. The refrigerator in our room made a loud, mechanical noise for about 20min at least 3-4 times through the night. It sounded like a lawn mower in our room, constantly waking us up, so we basically couldn’t sleep the whole night. It was an extremely unpleasant time and I would’ve switched hotels immediately if we were staying for longer than one night in Austin. As soon as I walked up to reception and said my room number, before I even voiced my complaint, the receptionist said “oh the loud refrigerator?” So clearly it’s a known issue, a common complaint that they don’t care to fix. It was 5am and he said just call in the morning and work something out with them. Also if your room is near the street you will hear loud noise playing late into the night — it was a Monday night when I stayed. Our bathroom windows face the parking lot and although they’re frosted, every car that parks and leaves shines headlights into the space. No curtains on any of the windows. The blinds facing the public courtyard/walkway do not feel private. I’ve stayed at cheap motels that at least provide curtains. The bathroom is bare bones. No water pressure and the shower temperature is either extremely hot or cold, no in between.

Think it’s muddy in the rain

The location was great The cost was high… $30 for a cocktail

Great location, wonderful staff, cozy vibes. So chill you almost forget you’re in the middle of South Congress chaos.

The perfect Austin stay. Great team, cool property & prime location. I’ll be back.

Excellent location. Very charming grounds. Feels very intimate but easy to get to a variety of restaurants and stores. Would book again.

Relaxed personnel. Greenery of site Plain rooms at high cost.

Rooms are bungalow style.. cement floors and old blinds on the windows. Beds are comfortable and they have a nice patio area. Close to great coffee and breakfast spots.

Loved the vibe. Casual but upscale at the same time. Beautiful gardens

What the hotel could do better is add citronella candles in every balcony and at the pool. Tons of mosquitoes everywhere.

Fun, unusual concept, great location, helpful, welcoming staff. My rim was Spartan, especially for the price. Amenities were minimal and disappointing. Overpriced

Two tiny comments. My room that was end has somewhat weak water pressure; I'm sure that can and will be fixed. And, the coffee place next door, Jo's is funky and nice with great staff, but coffee is mediocre and oatmeal should be improved given high quality of hotel. THANK YOU. GREAT PLACE. I'LL be back!

Awesome location, quiet, cool vibe

Excellent staff, great cocktails on the patio (in Cue market Saturday afternoon), great coffee in the morning. Love this location and stay here every time I come to Austin.

Everything was good. It’s a beautiful hotel in a lively area. I will definitely stay there again if I am in Austin. The only problem for me was that they don’t have coffee machine in the room. They have free coffee in the lobby but I don’t want to get dressed and go to the lobby to get my coffee first thing in the morning. For a 4star place I would have expected to have a coffee machine in the room and I assumed they had it :( I should have read the amenities in detail:) also two of the bar staff were a bit rude. People working in hospitality need to be more friendly in my opinion. Other than those two the rest of the staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall it was a good stay.

Bar was great, rooms are clean and cute and private - a city oasis

The technology (tv and bluetooth radio,) aren't easy to get connected to your devices. I went down to the front desk and asked how to get it to work but she wasn't sure. Not a big deal but it's a low hanging fruit fix. Maybe include the instructions on how to get connected to both on the check in card?

Hotel is staff is nice, rooms are clean, and its in a great location. Request a room that’s not on the street otherwise you’ll hear the road. My only suggestion is that they get blackout curtains in the room.

Room was spotless. Staff was courteous. What stood out- the grounds are gorgeous. They left water in a cute carafe and nuts on coffee table after cleaning. What didn’t stand out- hot water in shower only lasted 2 minutes or so. But that’s okay, gave me enough time to wash my body.

Location and design

Hotel San José feels like a tiny village hidden inside Austin, filled with laughter, warm light, and people who actually seem happy to be there. The lush plants, intimate paths, and small but inviting pool create a relaxed atmosphere that never feels forced or overdesigned. It’s the perfect blend of old-school Austin charm and easygoing comfort, and I can’t wait to return. Hotel San José has a wonderful vibe, but the prices have drifted into territory that feels out of reach for what used to be a simple, charming stay. It is lovely enough that I still go occasionally, but I would visit far more often if the rates were even remotely reasonable. Like much of modern life, it now seems priced for a world where everyone needs millions just to enjoy what used to be middle-class comfort.

Nice Boutique Hotel- Great Location- Parking Awesome. Courtyard and pool Area are Amazing!! Front Desk Personnel Extremely Helpful!! Booking Again in February for the Marathon.

The San Jose Hotel is in a convenient area of town, with free parking and stylish vintage decor. Staff are very welcoming, and the full bar with an outdoor poolside lounge is really nice for relaxing with a friend or group.There's also a cute outdoor coffee shop on the property, but I didn't have the opportunity to use it (closed the evening before Thanksgiving). Basic rooms are pretty small, but overall designed efficiently and fit the theme. Hotels with character are my preference over big corporate chains, and I'd stay here again when visiting Austin.

The location is unbeatable, just steps from South Congress. The robes were a fun bonus, and the on-site bar was great. We loved having access to the pool, and the 12 pm checkout was perfect. We soaked up every minute of our staycation. Even on a Sunday in November, the courtyard patio and pool were pretty busy. Our main concern was that the room felt like it needed some attention. The windows were dirty, which didn’t help an already dark space, and the older toilet caused issues with normal use. Overall, it didn’t feel like the elevated experience you’d expect at this price point. It seems like the hotel is leaning heavily on its great location, and the rooms could benefit from updated finishes. We ended up enjoying our stay at Hotel Carpenter more than San Jose.

The location is fabulous but what truly made imy stay fantastic was the staff. From the front desk to the bar/lounge - they were all great I was there for three nights and every single person there went out of their way to make my stay amazing. After requesting for an iron prior to arriving - Arrived to a lovely steamer already in my room. They all were super friendly personable and helpful. Needed a bit of assistance to do with my room and they didn’t hesitate to come to my aid and ensure everything worked out for me. The pool and lounge area is super cute and private. Loved my room location too and felt very safe and secure. This will Definitely be my go to when in Austin. A little quieter fridge for those that are light sleepers :) it gurgles a Bit loudly. Or maybe it was the air conditioner but no big deal. Got lovely heat for the cold nights and cooling for the hot days.

Fun and beautiful little hotel.

Adequate but expected more Bar was expensive and badly managed, lacked good quality snacks and drinks

Incredible location and amazing stuff! Nothing, I had a great trip.

We really enjoyed Hotel San Jose. The property is very retro with a cool vibe. It feels very secluded but is right in the middle of South Congress. There are tons of restaurants and shops with walking distance. There was plenty of on site parking without the valet hassle. We had a pool day and there was a bar service there. The let us bring our dog and even had a bed and food and water bowls waiting in the room for her! Would love to stay again!

The hotel is cool and very Austin. Great location, nice room, and delicious breakfast. It had a great vibe and friendly staff. The AC in our room was too loud; it really disturbed our sleep. Prices at the bar were too high, and $30 for overnight parking was also too much.

Great location, nice property. Not the best when raining as it is all outside opening and gravel walkways

Sounds silly to mention but if you have ever been to Austin or any big city parking is a beast. Not so at Hotel San Jose with its on site easy in parking lot. After parking the pivot door directing you to the cool vibe lobby sets the tone for your stay along with a cheerful personable perfectly off beat staff. Sheets are soft to touch, beds strike the perfect balance of firm and give and the high polished concrete floors are delightfully cool under foot on a hot texas summer day. Stay hack: be sure to arrive in time to enjoy happy hour on the courtyard. To nibble and Bev under gracious oaks with quiet hum of nearby parties chatting is a delightful way to start your visit or evening before heading out Congress street. Hotel San Jose is ideally located for those looking for the non tourist standard Austin experience. Zilker park and evening bat flights are nearby as well as great eats, dive bars and unexpected shopping. Hotel San Jose is my go to whenever I am in Austin.

Excellent stay! The staff were friendly and attentive and the property is steps away from fantastic bars and restaurants and a quick walk down to the town lake hike and bike trail. Most importantly, I slept solidly.

perfect Austin vibes at Hotel San Jose; the property has been around for decades and was originally a motor court but has been enclosed--we loved the historic yet modern feel. The location on South Congress had great walkability; they had great coffee available in the lobby and we enjoyed sitting around the small pool in the afternoon

Very nice hotel in the heart of old Austin. Located just south of the Colorado river and easy access to Ubers, scooter rentals. Next to great food and music venues. My two major issues with the hotel were, 1. the key to the room. The key is an old traditional metal type, the problem with that is the "lost key" fee was $150. It literally made the trip one notch higher with stress because you are so worried about losing the key while out on the town. It seems unnecessary to have that kind of stress over a room key. 2. Is the night security guard whom seems to be way to aggressive to guest. We were approached several times to not make noise, don[t hangout in the outdoor court yard to enjoy a cigar, we even when outside of the walls of the hotel and were promptly approached by the same security guard with an unnecessary aggressiveness. For the cost of the hotel, I should not be treated by the "staff" as if you are the street drunk. This brought another slight disappointment in the stay.

Everything was great! Our band played across the street & it was super handy. The only thing was due to a festival the parking lot was closed & we had to park down the street at the austin hotel. That was not super handy. Other than that it was great.

We came to Austin for a quick girls weekend and really enjoyed our stay at Hotel San Jose. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The vibe overall was great. We loved the design and decor of the property and our room. The beds were comfy, we liked the linens, and the robes were so cute. We also appreciated the ceiling fan in our room. We enjoyed the location and close proximity to a lot of restaurants and shopping, and it was fairly walkable (we’re all city girls and are up for a decent walk to get places) to different attractions. The street in front of the hotel is pretty busy, but our room was at the back of the property and very quiet. It was pretty hot and humid during our stay, so the pool was a perfect way to cool off in the afternoons. It was also just a great area to lounge outside of your room. The courtyard bar area seemed to be a hangout for both guests and folks not staying at the hotel, so it was lively (in a good way). They also had breakfast tacos on Saturday morning that were delicious. There is a coffee shop nextdoor that is affiliated with the hotel, so that was great for a quick drink/bite in the morning.

My friend ordered a house bourbon double from a waiter, after being told they didn't have Jim Bean and asking for the house, she was charged $40 dollars which she didn't notice until later, the receipt said the name of a high-end bourbon so it wasn't rectified. The next day when she told the story to the waitress she got some relief and the The big thing though was the air conditioning. We were in Texas in May. The AC setting didn't go below 72 which for an environmentally conscious place is fine, but the reality was that the air coming out at night was NOT cold at all. In the morning it became cold which led me to believe there was a mistaken or intentional setting internally since at no time did the thermostat show anything but 72 degrees. To be fair, I talked to the manager at checkout and she was going to see if anything could be done and I will see what happens.

It’s worth about 1/4th to 1/10th of what I paid for it. The pictures on the website are deceptive. The room I stayed in was not any better than what I could find at a Motel 6. Don’t stay here.

Also when I booked the room it was described as a superior room with multiple views, we had one window that was covered in vines that couldn't be seen through. The area was nice and there was plenty of things within walking distance. Parking at the hotel is not included and is an additional charge per night i believe.

Great location. Fun vibe. Really attentive staff. Checks all of the boxes for a weekend in Austin.

The staff was wonderful & handled all our luggage. We loved the patio by the pool & the music one night. Cocktails were yummy

I loved the Japanese gardens with a twist, right in the middle of everything!

Thought it was great except you could hear neighboring rooms through the walls.

Loved the bar and outdoor seating area in the courtyard. The staff were awesome and the Frose was to die for!

Love it here! The vibe is super chill, staff is amazing, and the beds are very comfortable! We wikk definitely be back!

Wonderful experience.

Great location.

Our entire stay was lovely. The staff was helpful, the room was nice and comfortable, the property and surroundings were very pretty. We were greeted with goodie bags to help us through the weekend.

The quirky details are over the top in the best way. Simple, clean, beautiful, highest quality everything. We loved our stay!

Location is perfect and while you would expect the area to be noisy, it isn’t at all. Quite and secluded with a great afternoon pool vibe.

Love everything about this place, keep it up and don’t change

Hotel San Jose is always amazing. Great service, room and can’t forget the Frose!

easy, pretty, quiet

A beautiful property and a great location. They upgraded our room for us and we love it there!

Fun place and we have stayed there years ago. Our room was very noisy though. We were near the street. Our daughter was facing the pool and they did not have any noise problems.

Toilet not working. Had to use their public restroom u til it was fixed. No accommodations made to move us to another room.

We loved this hotel! A very unique vibe and fun place to stay! The location was fantastic. The only downside is that our bathroom wasn't cleaned very well. Everything else was wonderful.

Close close to sixth Street bars close to shopping on Congress Avenue

If you love paying a lot for an “Austin vibe” this is the hotel for you. You have to walk on a muddy path to your room and track mud into your room? There are no amenities, barely any light in the rooms, bathroom is not conducive for getting ready. Yes you are in walking distance to all South Congress has to offer but that’s about it. Save $200 and Uber over from a nicer hotel.

Location, location, location!

Enjoyed our first stay with you 😊

Location is perfect and are the grounds. Great outdoor area for a drink and chat as well!

Quirky, funky, centralized. I've always been and remain a fan! Appreciate the touches and style, grateful for the pool and bar and above all else, the friendly staff.

I love this hotel and have stayed here multiples times. It’a casual, cool, understated hotel. It’s an anchor to S. Congress in that it’s been around for quite some time and remains consistent. The only critique I have is that it could use a little refresh. We enjoyed the pool albeit the interior of it needs some rework as it has many large chips in the finish.

The Hotel San Jose went above and beyond in making our anniversary stay very special. We were provided with a secluded room featuring a broad veranda and comfortable patio furniture that allowed us to enjoy the outdoors late into the evening. I also ordered rose pedals from a local florist and, at my request, the hotel staff spread them artfully across the floor of our suite. We also enjoyed our time at the pool and outside bar and seating areas. Overall, we could not have enjoyed a nicer stay!

Cool place in a great location!

The property is amazing. So relaxing and chill, we had such a great time. My ONLY issue is that the cleaning staff tried coming in our room three times before we were checked out for some reason. Other than that, fantastic.
