Hotel Gibbs Downtown Riverwalk

Location is walking distance to a lot of great things. Construction going on right outside. Not that the property can help that.

History and location. Construction all around made it a little difficult to get in and out.

location and history and quirkiness of the hotel. Breakfast was great,nand set us up for the day. ran out of shampoo, not enough coffee and sugar etc, the rokms and public areas were somewhat tired anc needed some tlc to bringbthem up to standard.

Clean rooms. Comfortable beds. Good hot water pressure. Really good hot breakfast. Close to all the good parts of the Riverwalk.

Very good

As with any old building with a ton of character that was retrofit to be a hotel, there were some quirks. For example, the bathroom was a bit too small for a sink, so the sink was one step outside the bathroom door into the entrance area. No big deal, but it was quirky. The bathroom was clean, but there is a tiny bit of wear and tear that is starting to show. There were lots of lights around the room, but no overhead light in the main chamber. This was fine 99% of the time, but there were a few moments when a brighter overhead light would have helped. The room was a perfect size for me. There was a moment when I used the complimentary ironing board and iron where it was hard to set up the board between the bed and the wall and still reach the outlet. It all worked out fine in the end--again, just a bit quirky. I was staying in town for a conference. It was a very lovely and convenient walk to the Convention Center from my hotel. This is a great choice for business or vacation. I highly recommend it.

All was great except for hot water not being available due to maintenace issue

The location was excellent and very convenient, and I also really enjoyed the breakfast. These were definitely the highlights of my stay. The cleanliness and housekeeping could be improved. On two occasions, trash and used towels were left in the sink, which made it seem that the cleaning had not been completed. I also did not particularly like the smell in the hotel.

The parking is not free

Room was comfortable and clean The breakfast was really good. We were close to the Alamo and the Riverwalk. Wasn't expecting the construction noise, but we were only there 2 nights.... I didn't like the incense they burned in the lobby area. I have breathing problems and that was definitely a big turn off for me..... Parking was expensive, especially when the lot next to them was 10.00 a day....

Great location. Steps away from excellent dining and The Alamo. Valet parking or paid lot parking is an added expense to consider. The hotel is an older building but charming. Air conditioning worked fine to keep up with the blazing sun. Retro 70's decor is very tasteful. I would recommend this hotel and stay on return trips to San Antonio.

Close to Riverwalk and the Alamo Only Valet parking and $45 a day

Great staff Excellent breakfast buffet Downside: Hot water issues No free parking Construction on street where gibbs is located

Was a quick trip but a good stay. We got in late and the man at desk was wonderful and helpful. Interesting vibe - historic property with cool oversized rooms. Mid modern decor some rooms look right over the Alamo. Really convenient Alamo and sites and very walkable to River Walk. Don’t skip breakfast!

Super location, outstanding breakfast, funky vibe, and very friendly staff. Water temperature was fine but could have been hotter.

Had a decent stay here with a +1. The breakfast was good and they do have a texas shaped waffle maker. The hotel has a revived historical landmark feeling throughout. The rooms are small (formerly office spaces) but still perfect for two people. Its situated directly across from the alamo and just around the block from the river walk. There is a distillery, coffee shops, and dining all within walking distance. We used the valet service here and they were very prompt, professional and took care of our auto. Each member of staff I encountered was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel does need a deep cleaning but our room was acceptable for two nights.

Great location. Very comfortable beds. Good breakfast. Carpet needed vacuuming; wish to have more storage for our bags and belongings. No shelves/drawers to put clothes in. We experienced almost 2 days without hot water: without notice or an estimate time when issue will be fixed.

Great breakfast. Friendly staff, perfect location

.

Shower was cold water; black mold in the bedroom

The staff was extremely considerate and helpful. The property is clean, lovely and cosy (yes, read that as European-sized rooms). I was traveling solo which was a good thing. I don’t think 2 people would be comfortable in the room for any length of time unless one person was on the bed at all times. Which is a shame since the room is so lovely. The valet staff were so proficient and so friendly and nice to work with. The breakfast was just delicious and well stocked, definitely a plus! I would definitely stay here again if I am traveling solo or if I was not spending a significant amount of time in the room. If you are accustomed to traveling in Europe, you will feel right at home!

It was nice I had a great time thank you!

Not having a smoking room

Location and Breakfast

Hotel Gibbs is in an ideal location for a San Antonio vacation. Right next to the Alamo and a short distance to the Riverwalk. The hotel itself is very nice with a great breakfast each morning.

Amazing breakfast...essentials in the room and bathroom were clean, but could have used a deep clean. People and location were fabulous.

I was told you would give me a refund we did not have hot water for 2 days so their was no showers. We had to ask for toilet paper towels washcloths and it goes on and and on. We saw a bug in the bathroom and the place needed a good cleaning.

Three days with boiler problems. No hot water available was the worst.

Dirty bathroom with silverfish and one day without warm water.

The breakfast was decent, but the excessive use of single-use paper plates, plastic cups, and cutlery was quite wasteful. The bathroom was not particularly clean; the shower walls and floor needed a thorough scrubbing. The air conditioning was loud, and the blinds were a bit worn out. The hallways also had an unsettling atmosphere. I understand that it’s an old historic building, but the lighting in the hallways could be improved. Additionally, the elevators were too slow, and there were long waits to catch one.

This hotel is across the street from the Alamo. I have stayed there 4 times and will return in the future. An enjoyable breakfast is served free of charge each morning. I view the staff as friends and am very happy to know them. This is an excellent hotel.

The property could be maintained much better. There was no hot water the morning I checked out. Also bugs and mildew on the shower wall.

Clean hotel, comfortable, cozy, amazing location, really good. I would recommend it. Woman in front desk really friendly and helpful. Next morning was an old guy and he was a little rude and told me just to leave my keys on a basket so he would check me out later.

road closures made it difficult to get to hotel. But once we found hotel, we figure out how to get around the road closure and construction next door.

Breakfast ok, I am sure most people liked it, I prefer fresh eggs, plain yoghurt, unflavored oatmeal, perhaps you could have those items on request? Room wasn’t properly cleaned, I opened the curtains and could see dust everywhere on tops of end tables, desk had coffee stains, leftover food in the fridge. I called front desk no one answered, I went down there, was told no other rooms available, someone would come clean. Leftover food was still in fridge when I left after 2 days, disappointing

It was way to loud due to the construction next door it would of been nice to know ahead of time we were not able to sleep

I loved this hotel! Stayed for work conference. The front desk person was so sweet and gave me bandaids for my poor blistered feet. She was friendly and went above and beyond for me. I know that sounds simple but it means a lot especially for someone who travels often for work. I did like the daily housekeeping. Area by the bed could have been cleaner - I found two used fake fingernails which threw in the trash. I get that places are short staffed now days though. Would definitely stay again. Location was also quite convenient.

When we were there around Sept 21-24, 2026 there was construction on one of streets adjacent to the hotel so had to arrive at hotel from a different street than google maps said.

New room kind of offered but they says they didn’t really have any other roomie rooms. Talked to GM next morning and he said the construction has brought them in. No reduction in price which should have been offered in my opinion. Other than that I thought the place was cool. Breakfast was good too. Lots of variety.

We had a great stay. Staff was helpful and rooms were clean. Breakfast was also really good!

Perfect location, excellent breakfast and beautifully decorated

Las sabanas está manchada y la funda está sucia y en el baño había mucho mosquito

Check-in was at 3pm and they didn’t have our room ready until 6:30pm when we had plans to get ready for.

The breakfast was okay. The location was excellent. There was lots of construction right beside the hotel with lots of traffic and noise. I wish they would have told me this at booking. The noise from the construction next door with lots of blocked off areas would have helped me make a better decision about booking.

beautiful building, cozy and very good location! even with construction going around it is very easy to access the building.

Lovely place/ building, lovely staff - amazing location right opposite The Alamon

Great location!

Wonderful breakfast. Loved the location near the Alamo and Riverwalk.

Hotel was situated right opposite the Alamo , excellent location . Hotel has great history and well preserved historical details. Fantastic breakfast included , staff were super friendly .

The room was not clean, I saw dust everywhere also i saw hairs in the bathroom

Great location and value for money Nothing

Great location and great staff. But the room was not that well maintained. Under the bed had not been vacuumed I found rose petals and Cheetos under the bed, and there was a lot of dust hanging from AC vent. There was also missing light globes. But for the most part the room was clean. The valet parking was helpful for the location.

Hotel

Great stay. Great staff great breakfast

Staff was friendly and check in was super easy! Down side: Parking was crazy expensive - 54 bucks for 12 hours at the lot next door. There's a lot of construction outside/road closed so GPS doesn't get you there- we just had to figure it out, but the noise didn't disrupt our stay at all. Super cool location - the Alamo is across the street and the Riverwalk is just a few blocks.

Good size rooms and breakfast included. Right across from the Alamo and very walkable to everything

The room was really nice for us as a couple and being so close to downtown was a plus. Definitely would stay again

We were here for a girls' weekend & this was a great hotel. It was clean, decorated well and had lots of old charm as it was an old office building converted into a hotel. There waa complimentary breakfast and a free wine tasting voucher. The location was perfect. Super close to the Alamo, Riverwalk, shops & restaurants.

location near alamo and riverwalk was great. florvino wine bar was wonderful.

Everything about my stay was wonderful. There was just something about the atmosphere that made the whole experience that much better. It was exactly what I needed, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about it. I would absolutely stay here again without hesitation. If you’re looking for a place with character, privacy, peace, and an all-around great experience, Hotel Gibbs is the place to stay!

Room fixtures/lights did not work paint around window could have been done better. Rooms could have been cleaner .

The room was clean and comfortable. The historic features were beautiful. Breakfast was very good. We would definitely stay again.

Good breakfast. Room was very crowded. We had to move furniture around so that we could move without running into things. Bed was comfortable. No complaints. Just wish there was as a bar or gathering place

We’ve tasting

I’m very happy with my stay.

Extremely disappointing. I expected a very high-end hotel. It was very old, although it had been renovated. The wooden floors were old and hadn't been replaced. We booked a 4-person room, but there were only 3 people staying there. Everything was prepared for 2 people. There wasn't even a bottle of water in the room. The original price was $394, discounted to $111. We paid $285 including tax. It was really not worth it.

It was very quiet. The room was on the small side. Also, the buffet breakfast was always luke warm. Chafers were used but no sternos to keep the food hot.

It was great to be within walking distance of so many things. The beds were wonderful and the A/C worked perfectly.

The room was so spacious and comfortable

The historic aspect and the closeness to the Alamo, the Riverwalk, and a great coffee shop were well worth the parking hassle. Doing Valet was cheaper than the adjacent parking lot.

location

The room was filthy. Spider and roach in the shower, floors and walls had grime stuck to them, and debris on the rug. I did send pictures to management and the did a partial refund, and apologized. Based on other reviews, this may have just been an oversight for one room, but I wouldn't stay again.

Tuve un problema con el valet parking , el dia que necesitaba el vehiculo , me hicieron esperar dos horas hasta que me dijeron que las llaves se les habian perdido , que mandarian un tecnico para hacer reposicion , el valet muy desinteresado por apoyar , llego su manager y despues de 10 horas las encontraron , quedaron que me repondrian los gastos de ubers que se tuvieron que hacer y despues de 10 dias , aun no me resuelven nada y no responden la atencion

Construction noise but not much they can do about it

Breakfast was very good. Had some of everything. Biscuits, gravy, potatoes, waffles and all the cereal and such. Lot of history in the building. Rooms were small but roomy. Highly recommend due to the proximity to all the historical sites and Riverwalk.

Wonderful stay! Downtown was walking distance

A washer

Staff, especially Michelle, was wonderful. Property close to all things good.

Staff was amazing. Rooms were a little old and dirty. Trash. Candy and stuff under beds. Paint peeling from walls in bathroom but it is an old building so expected. The staff was great and helped with anything we needed. Parking is a little hard to navigate for expensive for valet

Great location to The Alamo and Riverwalk. Rooms were clean and quiet. Staff is friendly. Firm mattress. Great stay!

Awesome experience

Great place to stay. Breakfast was very good

I was on the top floor, the last room in the hallway. The AC vent was right over the bed and exceedingly loud. Consequently, I got hardly any sleep because of how frequently it cycled on. I couldn't turn it up to a higher temperature because otherwise it would have been too warm. Another thing that was annoying was the fact that I could hear the water pipes constantly running overhead. It was as if there was always a hotel guest taking a shower all night. Obviously that's going to happen in a hotel, but why did all the pipes have to go across that one bedroom ceiling?That's what it sounded like, anyway.

roaches ROACHES ROACHES

Very convenient location was a big plus

The room had not been swept,hair on bathroom floor,noticed something poking out from under bed,it was a mascara tube from a previous guest,picked it up and noticed very dusty under bed. Other than the floor, the room seemed very nice. All the staff we interacted with were very polite and helpful.

Everything was great our stay

Very good located

Loveeeddd my stay! Everyone was so nice! The location is amazing! You can walk right to the Alamo, bars, shops, experiences. I did it for my sister’s birthday and we had a blast. The only downside is the parking is expensive. I ended up parking at a parking garage a few blocks away. Then just walked back to the hotel. Since everything is so close to the hotel I just walked everywhere.

Hotel has so much potential! The positive: location. Close proximity to Riverwalk, restaurants, shopping, alamo, alamodome, the pearl, etc. Staff was friendly enough! The negatives: parking is weird and ran by 3rd party. There is a paid lot close by however. Most importantly, the cleanliness, it was pretty much non existent. The rooms (2) were filled the dust, crumbs, and whatver else left behind by previous guests. Housekeeping definitely needs to be monitored more closely!! Could use some fresh paint, and fresh linen and then the hotel would be nice!

Gown

Amazing location and stay was awesome!!!

The only inconvenience was parking and driving to the property….

Everything was great!

We had such a wonderful stay at Hotel Gibbs in downtown San Antonio! The location was absolutely perfect and within easy walking distance to our event venue, which made everything so convenient. From the moment we arrived, the valet service was fantastic, and the check-in process was smooth and welcoming. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home. And what a wonderful surprise to discover that the hotel offers a wine tasting! 🍷 It was such a nice unexpected touch and made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, Hotel Gibbs exceeded our expectations from arrival to departure. Great location, great service, and such a fun atmosphere. We would definitely stay here again when visiting downtown San Antonio! ❤️

Hidden Gem is what I call this historic, boutique, hotel in downtown San Antonio. The first hidden surprise was a free wine tasting at the winery connected to the property. This was explained by the delightful women who checked us in and gave a quick history of the building. A little wine was needed after navigating around the construction of a museum next to the hotel. We splurged for a king suite that was very spacious for very little extra money giving us a couch and some nice views of the Alamo from our windows. The valet parking was effortless and very quick to bring our vehicle. I'm guessing it is because the building is old, but there are some extra sounds coming from the HVAC system but it worked great. We joked that it was ghosts? The next morning we took a walk around the Alamo and down to the beautiful Riverwalk which are both a few blocks away. It was before anything was open so it was peaceful and quiet except for a couple of power washers. Upon returning, we enjoyed the breakfast buffet of ALL breakfast buffets and it was complementary. Carne Guisada and soft warm tortillas, bacon, sausage, eggs and delicious dark roast coffee plus all the other waffles, fresh fruit everything. We will definitely stay again and it is convenient for concerts at the Tobin Center. We would have walked but it was over 100 degrees.

great place close to the river walk

I believe the lady at the front desk was in a bad mood on that day at the check in, but the other people was very nice

-

Awesome would go again! Great history!

The hotel was a very historic site and a pleasure to stay in and the bed was very comfortable

Room was clean, staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing and included. Carne guisada, biscuits and gravy, bacon was like I cook at home, sausage, potatoes, fruit, etc. Will definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

Great stay

All the above listed items were more than satisfactory. We enjoyed our one night stay.

Location is great. Beautiful old building. Construction in area created some noise and inconvience

This is an antique hotel, built in 1909, which has been given new life. A very nice place to stay and in a great location downtown. Lots of vintage charm and very helpful staff made our stay a real winner. Certainly would stay again.

The hotel was great. Breakfast was amazing. Location was a big plus. Everything was in walking distance. The only issue i had was with parking. Valet parking is offered and there is self parking but both are a bit price in my opinion.

Great Stat

good breakfast.. room could be cleaner, nasty under beds, no clock.. hotel is in a construction zone that began work at 6AM. We were given room right across from elevator 😞and the air conditioning works poorly and is very noisy.. its an old property

Nice place to stay at

Everything was 5 star! However the Nats were my only complaint.

Only issue I experienced was check in was a little behind, but everything else was great, the complementary wine tasting was wonderful the wine they have was so good.

Awesome hotel right by The Alamo. Clean and comfortable, not to pricey. Great staff. Will definitely be coming back.

great customer service from everyone.

Nice and helpful staff. The property shows some age

I loved the location and haunted history of this hotel. The hotel was a very short walk to everything. Did not need my car at all. The breakfast was delicious and had plenty of options to choose from. The only down side was that the ice machine on all of the floors were not working. Also, the valet was way too expensive. I would advise to do self parking unless you don’t mind spending a C-note for two nights.

Room was amazing. Staff was the sweetest had an amazing time would go again.
