I stayed at Brava House for a long weekend with my husband and two children. We decided to go somewhere more "homely" than a faceless hotel chain. Brava House is in one of Austin oldest neighbourhoods and the house itself is old style (although we discovered that the cladding is no longer wood but plastic!).We arrived late evening in the dark and spotting the black sign with the house name and number on the grass under the bay window wasn't easy; but we got there. We were greeted by Mary (I think) and shown to our room. We stayed in the Fitzgerald Suite. The room was clean, the bedding was clean and well pressed and the bathroom was very clean. There were lots of nice touches and lovely period features. The beds were comfortable and the owners kindly turned the sleeper bed down ready for our sleepy children. There is off street parking at the back of the house, one car space per room. There is a nice deck at the back with chairs, a bbq and water features. The first day we decided to give breakfast a try (despite some bad reviews on here). We were greeted by Robin (I think!). She was very helpful; albeit the breakfast selection was rather poor. There was some coffee (and tea); I didn’t drink the coffee but my husband said it wasn’t great. There was some juice, but was it orange? Was it pineapple? We couldn’t work it out as it had been watered down so much it could have been anything! It was tasteless and incredibly pale in colour. My orange juice lover of a daughter wasn’t impressed! There was a very small plate of sliced bread next to the toaster, some butter, a small pot of apricot jam and some honey. In addition there was a small plate with some chocolate fruit cake slices and some bits of cinnamon buns (buns cut up and divided into smaller pieces). There was also a very small bowl of fruit salad (mainly melon and watermelon).We tried it but the melon was off and it was all so unripe… The saving grace was the fresh omelette Robin had prepared. It was really tasty, a pity it didn’t make up for all the rest. It was all a bit of a disappointment (and not great as you pay good money for the rooms!). Surely it doesn't cost much to provide slightly more variety and slightly bigger quantities?! Such a pity…as Brava House is perfectly located to easily walk downtown and is close by to a nice selection of antique shops, art galleries and various bars and restaurants. If we go back to Austin we’ll probably consider staying at Brava House again but we shall certainly avoid breakfast!
