So, I totally don't get why everyone loves this hotel. Yes, it's in a great location, BUT for $600/nt in the largest room available you'd think they'd give us a comfortable King bed. We had a very uncomfortable Queen to share with uncomfortable pillows. Knowingly the room would be minimalistic, but I'm so over the "I'm so cool I don't... More

The location, on South Congress, is great as it is on the main street of a neighborhood with food trucks, small restaurants, boutiques and vintage clothing stores that surround this old renovated motor court motel. The rooms are on the small side. (We were shown three mini suites before we agreed that the 3rd one might actually be classified as... More

What a lovely getaway in the middle of busy S. Congress..! This place is cool. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return some day.

I spent a night here while in Austin with friends. The hotel is on South Congress which is great for a few quiet drinks in the amazing city of Austin TX. The room was upstairs and i was immediately impressed with its unusual styling - it's very hip with a very "clean" look which I would expect from a much... More

Hotel San Jose offered an interesting mix of hipness and austerity, but above all else, it provided us with a perfect location from which to explore Austin. With plenty of great restaurants and bars within walking distance, we felt right at home in the neighborhood. The interior patio was a great place to relax with a beer or a glass... More

My spouse and I booked this hotel just a few hours before we pulled in. This was our first visit to Austin. We based our choice off the yelp and tripadvisor reviews and were not disappointed. I requested a room away from Congress St. (the Petite Suite). It was a weeknight, but the bar/restaurant was packed when we arrived at... More

Great boutique hotel...makes you feel like you're in a green paradise right of the main strip in SoCo. I can see how it could be noisy if it was an active weekend night. The wine bar was quite expensive, but everything in Austin seems to be pretty high priced. I enjoyed my clean room and very comfortable bed....especially the sheets!... More

We stayed last night not realizing the intensity of the hod rod festival going on. When we made the reservation, we were told hotel parking would be for classic cars only and we would have to park on the street. Fine. But we had no idea of the number of cars and people. Nick, the parking guy was kind enough... More

Great boutique hotel where everything is done right. Even their snack bar is not the usual crap you get but done with thought. The staff were great and the fact that they have bikes for rent is a bonus in Austin. It is well situated near bars and restaurants and it also has a night vibe of it's own with... More

My boyfriend and I decided to go to Austin for a long weekend of BBQ, live music and relaxation. My co-worker (originally from Austin) recommended we stay at the Hotel San Jose.. or at a minimum, pop in for a drink at night. We ended up staying at the Hotel and we are both so glad we did.
