Reviews
The hotel is highly praised for its excellent location, with guests frequently mentioning its proximity to various attractions and amenities. The staff is consistently described as friendly, helpful, and professional. However, several guests have expressed dissatisfaction with the valet parking service, citing it as expensive and slow. Noise from the bar and surrounding area is another common complaint, particularly for those with rooms facing the street or above the bar.

Wonderful staff, checking in was a breeze and it’s a very clean and beautiful facility. They accommodated my request for a higher floor which I was really hoping for when choosing to stay at this location. It really made my trip much more special. Also the coffee bar was actually fantastic I wasn’t expecting it to be that good! Can’t really think of anything I didn’t like, I was extremely satisfied all around! The curb space for valet is kind of tight but the staff was really quick and efficient.

Newer, modern hotel. Room was not very big , but had a good shower and comfortable king size bed.Elevators were quite fast which is great..as I was on the 14th floor. Location is very close to 6th street bars and restaurants, not a bad walk to the capitol.

The negative: my room faced Congress & the noise outside was very loud. The hotel provided a noise machine but I could still hear the cars past 1am. I sleep with earplugs & the ac on (still loud). Get a room with no view or stay on a less popular street.

As for the “city view,” however, that was rather misleading. You could technically see the city, but only by looking sideways through the window. Directly across from us was another room, barely 10 feet away, with a clear view straight into ours and vice versa. This meant there was absolutely no privacy for either room. As a result, we had to keep the curtains closed the entire time. So much for paying extra for a city view.

We had an awful experience. After parking and walking several blocks with our luggage, we were informed that they weren’t able to honor our booking. Was rudely told that they had emailed us 2 hours ago and randomly booked us at a different hotel 10 minutes away. Not sure how this is supposed to work, but certainly not like this.

It was an amazing stay , I stayed with 2 friends and myself on 2 queen beds with were comfortable. They have a Breakfast spot on the 1st floor ( Caroline ) with an amazing choice of healthy food options & juices. It was a 12 min walk to the bars but there are gentleman's nearby in a bicycle to give you a ride for $20 on the 2nd floor there is a bar with outdoor sitting as well and play good music. Loved it.

I stayed at the Aloft during UT's freshman move in. The staff were helpful and very hospitable and the rooms were as expected. What I especially enjoyed were the restaurant options and proximity to other restaurants in the area. My goal in staying downtown was to get a feel for the "Austin energy" in the city and this hotel exceeded my expectations. I fell in love with the decor, and the food so much that I ordered a to-go order of the quinoa and cauliflower taco from the 2nd floor and a few pastries from the first floor. I love the 2nd floor patio vibe and took a few pics! I will definitely be back!!!

We have called several times to have this incorrect charge corrected and refunded. Each time, a representative told us that someone would get back to us. Unfortunately, we are still waiting and have received no response or refund. This has been extremely disappointing and frustrating, especially considering how many times we have tried to resolve the issue. Please be very careful and check your credit card statements after dining here. Make sure that all charges are accurate and that you are not being charged for items you did not order.

Me and my boo accidentally spent the night in Austin and booked last minute. The room is not huge, but it is nice and we had a nice little view of Austin. Very close to sixth Street and the capital.

Room was nice and comfortable. Be sure to bring a few drinks to put in your mini fridge. Also I prefer to have a fan on while I sleep, hotel doesn't offer this so I would say bring one if you are the same

Parking was the only issue. $65 a night for valet is a little outrageous considering you’re already paying for a room. But other than that it was beautiful and located brilliantly. Easy to walk to many places.

In addition, the breakfast servers in the cafe are super slow, pay more attention to each other than the customer. Very unaware of what's going on. Tip- Serve hot coffee, not 3 days of lukewarm coffee. Out of sugar in the Raw for 3 straight days...

Loved the location, it was close to everything and even got to see the bats emerge from under the bridge. The front desk staff was welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable about the area/activities in the area. The room was incredibly clean and comfortable. The only issues we had in the room was the back of the shelf jetting out into the bedroom area and the lack of just a bathroom light. We couldn't have a light on without illuminating the whole bathroom area. Overall, it was a wonderful stay.
- 4/5
Ideal location in the city. Takes a while for housekeeping so everyone is waiting to check in around 4 pm. Valet parking has limited space so it tends to back up around noon when a lot of people are checking out. Just be patient with the staff.
- 4/5
overall, my day was amazing. The staff was super nice, and the building was super clean. Rooms were super clean as well. I do recommend that if you like to snack to bring your own because they do not have the best snacks. I will also say the Caroline Restaurant downstairs is delicious. The best breakfast brunch I’ve ever had.

This is our third time staying at this hotel and by far it’s been amazing, hotel is always clean. Service is great!
