My wife and I stay at Hampton Inn properties whenever available at our destination. Hampton Inn & Suites Austin @ The University / Capitol, was a standout. Overall the facility was in excellent condition, the room was immaculate, and the complimentary breakfast was well stocked, The front desk staff were friendly and efficient at check in. They then went above & beyond when one of them, while on break, volunteered to translate and act as mediator for a dispute with a delivery driver, and then offered two complimentary soft drinks to replace items missing from the delivery. The location was walking distance from the Moody Center and other downtown attractions. This was a great stay and we’ll definitely return.

An absolute prime location, especially for UT, making it incredibly easy to get around. On top of that, the breakfast was fantastic, with great choices. The Wi-Fi was a major issue, and I struggled heavily to connect to my scheduled calls. Additionally, my room felt incredibly depressing and claustrophobic because it lacked natural light; the window only looked into an interior shaft and there was no balcony. It was far too expensive for the value provided. Despite the convenient location, I would not recommend this property and will not stay here again.

- 5/5
Honestly, the breakfast could’ve been way better. The biscuits were hard as a rock and the gravy was runny. Some of the food items were not stocked up, so there wasn’t a lot of a variety we had to wait and ask for food at the breakfast. Breakfast ladies need to be more attentive and aware when Food is running out also it would be nice to have a better variety of the breakfast served.

Old and outdated I was only there for a few hours and decided to leave and drive home. The next day I received an extra charge of $300 on my credit card. I called to find out why and they said it was for smoking. I am a recent cancer survivor and I or my husband do not smoke or vape. It was a bogus charge and the woman said she would have someone call me back and I never got a phone call. I don’t know if they got the rooms mixed up or not.. but we did NOT smoke or vape in that hotel! I will be disputing the charge and will get proof of my husband and I being smoke free . I am very upset. We are older. And we were treated with disrespect.

So to start off nobody tells you about the parking and incidental fees until check in. Thats an extra charge per day. Then we get to the room and try to access our balcony (which was one of the main reasons we booked this hotel) and the deadbolt lock is the only thing holding the door closed. The deadbolt is so badly damaged that it is almost too hard to even get the door open much less close it back unless you have a little strength. No trash bags in any trash cans. Dead dragon fly and a love roach in the room. They never came to clean our room. We were there for 2 nights for a concert. We tried exploring the ammenties of the hotel and the card reader on the gym was broken so there was no way in the gym. The pool is the size of a hot tub. It also wasnt clean. I will say the only good thing about the hotel is the nice staff and pretty good complimentary breakfast. Also good proximity to most things in town. Walking distance to most things

Location Hidden fees charged at checkout. $11.01 Austin Tourism PID fee?? And $40 per night to use the hotel parking lot?! Not good. The hotel doesn’t use trash liners in the trash bins in the room. The breakfast fruit laid out was literally old. But the room was clean.

Rooftop pool was a joke! Don't book for that reason. Breakfast was great. Room was spacious and clean. Location was OK but the view from the room was old rooftops. Not exactly what we thought we would get for the price we paid. Don't ignore that they add on $40 a day for parking.

This hotel had no water overnight due to a repair but we were given no advance notice of this. When we arrived we were told water would be unavailable from 10 pm to 5:30 am and we would have to use bottled water. There wasn’t enough water in the room to flush the toilet and when we asked for more we still weren’t brought enough. Absolutely unacceptable to be charged almost $300 for a room with no water.

property was clean, rooms were clean, staff was nice and helpful. need your room key to access the building at night and the floor which makes me feel more comfortable. parking is a little tight and expensive but overall a great experience. Had a corner room with a wrap around balcony and the views were great and it was nice to be able to go out there at night, shockingly it was quiet to be in downtown.

I really like the size of the room, everything was clean and nicely furnished. My only complain about this is that the cleaning crew comes every other day instead of daily. For a room that has four people this was a huge inconvenience mainly because of running out of some supplies. I don’t mind making my own bed, but we ran out of toilet paper and clean towels by the end of the second day. I’m sure if we asked for replacement they would’ve sent it to us. But it would’ve been nice if half maintenance of the rooms will be done daily.

The room was beautiful (uniquely high ceilings that I was particularly fond of) and I had a balcony, which turned out to be an amazing choice for me as I got to sit out at night and relax. The pool, while not as big as I normally like, was set on a rooftop and the view was glorious. Overall, my stay was great! Would definitely stay again!

The room was very spacious, clean, and the staff was nice and friendly. Breakfast was decent. Gave it a 4 star because the room had no fan in the restroom, ceiling fan was not working, and no remote to control the window blinds. Because of all these it made the shower wet and room very stuffy.

Easy check in. Room was bigger than I expected. While breakfast was standard fair with a few added things which I am sure others appreciated. The Muzak that played in the breakfast area was great and started day off right. Elevators-and my room was on the top floor- were great, hardly ever had to wait on one. And for me the hotel was 4 blocks from where I was spending my time so that was plus

Newly renovated, nice style and clean. Reception and breakfast area kind of small but nice. Breakfast not fancy, but I really enjoyed the relax atmosphere and fresh waffle by the self help machine. Stayed in a King bed room with balcony. Spacious with high ceiling. A few things can be improved on: noisy exhaust fan in bathroom, leaky shower head, an in-room safe would be nice. Overall a very pleasant stay of three nights for business.

It was ok property. We were just staying for short duration so it was ok. Beds were uncomfortable and noise outside was too much. We were on 5th floor where gym and pool is. Every time someone open or close the doors, our bed wall and bed was shaking. Front desk staff was friendly. Having an ice cold water in the lobby was a plus. Specially when you are out in TX heat in summer.

The location was perfect—within easy walking distance of the museums, the Moody Center, the UT campus, and numerous restaurants. We especially enjoyed taking an evening stroll back to the hotel after dinner at a nearby restaurant. It made our stay even more relaxing and enjoyable. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again!

The property was well maintained and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful and attentive. I do have two complaints, however. First, the lighting in the bathroom was very dim, making it very difficult to do hair and makeup. The other issue was that we were given an adjoining room, using only one side. The first night was extremely quiet. The second night of our stay, a family with young children apparently stayed next door. The sound must travel between the doors because we could hear almost everything the children said, but mostly shouted/cried. They were also awake much earlier than we needed to be, and their voices were difficult to ignore.
