    One of the most beautiful hotels we’ve ever stayed at. Not part of the Fairmont chain. Far more beautiful and luxurious. I can’t tjink of one negative. The staff was amazing

    Overall experience was great! Super hospitable staff and great rooms. Restaurants and bar are great as well. Only thing that wasn’t the best was there was somebody’s used underwear in our room right when we got in 😅 was hoping for some explanation but the staff just went by and picked up the underwear and left. Hopefully this isn’t the norm here!

    my wife and i have been coming here for years, we love the history of the hotel and the staff we especially like that we can just go down stairs to our favorite restaurant nonna, and when we've had a busy day we can hangout at rooftop bar, we love that they have valet with secure parking we just call the front desk and by the time we get to the lobby the truck is waiting for us the rooms were great especially after the remodel but the days we stayed it had rained the night before we showed up which made the room very humid and made the bed sheets damp. if they can get dehumidifiers for the rooms it would help out a lot. that's my only complaint other than that we love it!

The staff is world-class, always going above and beyond to make their guests feel welcomed. We had a beautiful two room suite on the third floor complete with all the amenities one would need. Highly recommend the quaint, boutique hotel for your get-away to San Antonio - you won't find a better location.

    We arrived late & was welcomed by wonderful and much needed Valet-then Miss Sarah gave us a quick description of every aspect of the hotel. As my husband was walking she grabbed the luggage car & pushed it herself-walked us to our room. She is a jewel! Made us feel sooo welcomed ! We walked to the 4th floor where we delighted in the beautiful view & had a drink. Then we headed to dinner @NonnaOsteria-where the recommended lobster Ravioli & sweet moscato was Perfect! And the staff was Welcoming & Attentive ! We had a day out breakfast at a nice cafe 5 min walk from hotel, park in front of hotel for those of you that have children. The day we spend IN SA-to return to have dinner with my daughter @SiloPrme—right there in the hotel. Piano playing, amazing food-ribeye, pork chops & salmon -nothing disappointed us! Atmosphere. Service, Ambience-was Amazing !!! All through out our quick 2nighy stay we chatted in between with Ryan & Rachel at the downstairs bar-where they made us feel like we knew eachother for years and had on the spot drinks -you have to try the Sangria! I say all of this to say book here ! You will not be disappointed ! Bed was soooo great, SUPER CLEAN room, set up-I don’t think I missed anyone -but wanted to say Everyone was amazing ! Grateful we found this place-definitely will be back !

    I loved this hotel! The staff were all so friendly. When we checked in we were walked to our room and given a really neat history lesson on the hotel. The room was very clean and cute. Loved the big shutters and the balcony. The LaVillita village and entrance to the riverwalk were 1 block away so it was a very short walk. We had our 5yr old granddaughter with us and she loved the park across the street. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go so never needed our car the whole time. We will definitely stay here again!

    The front desk concierge Brent provided great service. The room was clean and ready for an early check-in. We dined at the restaurant Nonna which had exceptional food and service. The complimentary items in the room including the Nespresso machine and pods were a nice addition. The architecture of the building and the craftsmanship of the interior of the building were all very impressive. The views from the rooftop bar and terrace made for a wonderful evening.

The service was impeccable, and we felt so welcomed and pampered throughout our stay. The Fairmount Hotel continues to be our home away from home, and we’ll be returning year after year. Room 312 was just perfect, with beautiful views and all the little touches that make it special. Thank you to the entire team at the Fairmount for another amazing weekend.

    The bathroom included A gold plated shower which had erratic water temperature and difficult to adjust, when we found warm or cool it immediately went right back to scolding hot. We spent a few hours at the bar, i ordered a cosmo at the bar downstairs which was HORRIBLE, it was watered down and tasted horrible and weak. We did appreciate the fact the young bartender took it off our bill and I replaced it with a decent glass of reasling wine, my husband enjoyed a bourbon and sprite Upside was the hotel and room was quiet although in the middle of down town construction zone. When it came to ordering dinner in our room, it was quick and staff was accommodating to offering extra chairs for our room so my husband and I could both sit at the desk in our room to enjoy our Valentines dinner. Now. The dinner wasn't as good as would be expected from such a high priced hotel. We will not be returning. (Review too long to finish)

    The double queen suite is designed so you enter into a parlor area, down a short hall is the bedroom, and off the hallway is a bathroom with enclosed toilet area, shower, and sink. Nice private areas, as well as the parlor to entertain, if one chooses. The suite was 61F when we arrived; we wished to turn up the heat to 70F. This proved easy to do, but not lasting. Once the temp was reached the heat shut off: we repeated this when we wanted more heat, including during the night. An access code to lock in a temp would be an improvement. Maybe carpet... The beds are comfortable, with soft tops and firm support, lots of pillows, too. A lighted closet is nice. There was a TV in the bedroom which we did not use. A lamp on that credenza would be a great addition. There were three sconces on the walls opposite. There was no refrigerator, microwave, table, desk, or chairs in the suite. These would be great additions in the parlor. There was a giant TV on a credenza. And a couch bed, which was nice and firm to set on. Renting a suite, we wished to eat in it. That is not possible without a kitchenette space. Most hotels provide a fridge and microwave; guests expect those amenities. We would stay here again, as it was a clean and beautiful hotel. However, either the cost per night or the amenities available, need to be adjusted. Keep your staff, they are excellent!!!

    It’s a great place to stay. The onsite restaurants are amazing. Brandon the manager of the restaurants made sure our dining experience was amazing each evening. The wild boar pasta at Nonna is a must. The second floor is kind of weird if you are older or immobile because you have to go up and down stairs with your baggage. There are some nice open balconies with panoramic views of downtown. Parking is easy. Only 2 drawbacks are construction on the outside streets starts at 8 AM. Also no workout facilities but easy running trails on the river are wide open and enjoyable. The hotel and the rooms are so nice. A total steal of a deal.
