Hotel San Jose

Beautiful little boutique hotel right in the heart of south Congress. Beautiful greenery around the hotel, a little pool but so quaint

The room I got facing the street and it is super noisy it is impossible to sleep

The design is a minimalistic and modern and the location is fantastic.

I can see why this room was $-- under the regular price. The location is right on the street it was so loud it was like camping out on the street corner. It's a very high traffic and high pedestrian area. Dont book room #10

Love the grounds and the staff. Have stayed at Hotel San Jose a number of times and it is one of my favorite experiences every time. A little oasis of lush tranquility in the heart of everything. The staff is always amazing, warm and friendly. The margs at the bar are great and Joe's is the perfect coffee amenity.

The technology (tv and bluetooth radio,) aren't easy to get connected to your devices. I went down to the front desk and asked how to get it to work but she wasn't sure. Not a big deal but it's a low hanging fruit fix. Maybe include the instructions on how to get connected to both on the check in card?

I love the area of my room!!! I love the Beautiful garden and the peaceful seating are.

You can walk to restaurants! Shopping!!!

Location, courtyard, overall vibe

Room way too simple for what you pay. Too much noise room to room. House keeping carts left to block entrance to our room during the day

Hotel San José feels like a tiny village hidden inside Austin, filled with laughter, warm light, and people who actually seem happy to be there. The lush plants, intimate paths, and small but inviting pool create a relaxed atmosphere that never feels forced or overdesigned. It’s the perfect blend of old-school Austin charm and easygoing comfort, and I can’t wait to return.

Hotel San José has a wonderful vibe, but the prices have drifted into territory that feels out of reach for what used to be a simple, charming stay. It is lovely enough that I still go occasionally, but I would visit far more often if the rates were even remotely reasonable. Like much of modern life, it now seems priced for a world where everyone needs millions just to enjoy what used to be middle-class comfort.

The location is unbeatable, just steps from South Congress. The robes were a fun bonus, and the on-site bar was great. We loved having access to the pool, and the 12 pm checkout was perfect. We soaked up every minute of our staycation.

Even on a Sunday in November, the courtyard patio and pool were pretty busy. Our main concern was that the room felt like it needed some attention. The windows were dirty, which didn’t help an already dark space, and the older toilet caused issues with normal use. Overall, it didn’t feel like the elevated experience you’d expect at this price point. It seems like the hotel is leaning heavily on its great location, and the rooms could benefit from updated finishes. We ended up enjoying our stay at Hotel Carpenter more than San Jose.

The location is fabulous but what truly made imy stay fantastic was the staff. From the front desk to the bar/lounge - they were all great I was there for three nights and every single person there went out of their way to makemy stay amazing. After requesting for an iron prior to arriving -Arrived to a lovely steamer already in my room. They all were super friendly personable and helpful. Needed a bit of assistance to do with my room and they didn’t hesitate to come to my aid and ensure everything worked out for me. The pool and lounge area is super cute and private. Loved my room location too and felt very safe and secure. This willDefinitely be my go to when in Austin.

A little quieter fridge for those that are light sleepers :) it gurgles aBit loudly. Or maybe it was the air conditioner but no big deal. Got lovely heat for the cold nights and cooling for the hot days.

friendly personnelLocation ( restaurants, and walkable to capitol 45 minutes and riverside ), secluded green garden,Small pool to cool down after a ‘walking day’Nice nut and cheese snacks

Room 26 was rather bright at night due to floodlights of a parkinglot (?) at the back of our room.Room was basic for the price charged but quit, no noise from traffic

Friendly. Quick and efficient check in. Parking nearby.

Clean, parking onsite.

Adequate but expected more

Bar was expensive and badly managed, lacked good quality snacks and drinks

Loved the garden atmosphere, parking was good,

Pool was pretty warm , blanket on bed very heavy!

Design, location, bar, outdoor area, comfortable rooms with amazing A/C!

The hotel is cool and very Austin. Great location, nice room, and delicious breakfast. It had a great vibe and friendly staff.

The AC in our room was too loud; it really disturbed our sleep. Prices at the bar were too high, and $30 for overnight parking was also too much.

It is a stunningly beautiful place! The pool is gorgeous and the spaces invited relaxation and socializing

Our room close to the street was a little noisy. Another room we had set back on the property was a silent little zen retreat.

Fantastic location. Very cool vibe around the hotel. Neat bar/pool area. Great merch. Amazing minibar selection. Friendly staff. Overall an epic spot and I'd definitely stay again! The photos don't quite do it justice.

Payment system was slightly convoluted and annoying. Was meant to be pay on arrival for each of the guests (we had 4 rooms) yet a hold was placed on my card for 2 rooms I wasn't staying in. Slightly annoying and feel like this could be simplified by requiring payment from each room at check in.

Grounds are beautiful but pool is tiny and no chaise lounges or really a place to sit or layout. Just cement benches.

Super soft full bed, uncomfortable. Noisy. Could hear conversations in both adjacent rooms and stompers above. As well as housekeeping happening from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. outside. No amenities.

Beautiful pool and rooms

The bathroom does not ventilate and the door is a sliding door with no seal

Perfect location, very nice people, very clean
