Went to visit family and won this room on price line. It was a biker rally and every room was booked by then, but it wasn't a big deal because nobody comes to Austin to stay in the hotel now do they? The staff is very courteous and accommodating despite maximum capacity, and the free cookies were the highlight of... More

Wanted to stay downtown, but unwilling to pay a small fortune. This hotel satisfied the location and the budget. While not the nicest DoubleTree we've stayed in, it was clean and friendly. Little disappointed that they did not offer a shuttle service like many of the other hotels I've stayed at in Austin. We wanted to take a shuttle downtown... More

I was in Austin for the UIL Competition and this was the hotel chosen by the Burkburneet ISD. The location was the best with regards to BASS Concert Hall. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.

I was traveling on business and when I tried to check in they did not have any record of my name. It seems I made the reservation at the other Doubletree on I-35 by mistake. They quickly accommodated me with a room and helped to cancel the mistaken reservation without any penalty. The room was nice and clean. The pool... More

This is an excellent place to stay for events like UT graduation or football/basketball/baseball games. You can easily walk to these events and not have to fight the horrendous traffic big crowds produce. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms clean, beds comfortable, tasty warm cookies and hot coffee in lobby in AM, Cold Water dispenser avail-great on hot Austin days.... More

When I made this reservation I didn't know that there would be a major university graduation going on! The price was excellent and in spite of all the activity, the staff was right on top! Very comfortable too!

I am sure like others I am not exactly sure what the DoubleTree brand stands for. It seems to be a relatively expensive hotel with little services and run like a budget hotel. This hotel is well located if you intend to visit UT Austin but is a bit on the wrong side of the tracks. Rooms have been recently... More

On the cusp of where downtown Austin meets the University of Texas campus, right over Interstate 35, is the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Austin - University Area. While not ideal for walking to either downtown or the university, it is only a 3 to 5 minute drive to each one, and parking is not much of an issue no matter... More

Very satisfied with the service and quality of the Double Tree during my stay. Will recommend this hotel, and will stay again if I have the occasion. Staff was pleasant and helpful, and the hotel was nice and quiet.
