    The Colton House on South Congress feels more like your stylish friend's Austin loft than a hotel. It's modern and very boutique. It's extra but just the right amount of extra. There's a food truck instead of a restaurant! That's progress. Simona's is its coffee-and-cocktail bar in the lobby! I spent a full day at the pool. A beautiful choc hotel. A huge flaw is you need a key to get everywhere. You cannot go park and get to the lobby. You have to use a key to get from your room floor to the lobby. That's just weird.

    Three words- chic, trendy, and hip! A beautiful boutique hotel with gorgeous decor throughout and spacious amenities. We stayed here for a weekend concert getaway in Austin. Located on a super busy street- Congress St. And driving up and down Congress, you'll notice lots of street construction. Parking was available for $30/day. Their lobby was gorgeous- spacious large rooms with lots of beautiful lounge chairs and interesting artwork. Complimentary mixed nuts, Red Bird sauce, and cold water were available- self serve. The hotel had a pool with an attached bar/food restaurant-Simona's and a Mexican food truck (Taquicardia) for breakfast and lunch. Our king studio was lovely. A large kitchen to the right with a microwave, toaster, utensils, glasses, and a large fridge. Decor was cute throughout- bathroom had two sinks, large shower, sofa, large tv, small desk, and plenty of storage for luggage etc. Sliding glass door to a barely there balcony lol Lovely colorful velvety sofas were near every elevator, with a restroom nearby. The next morning we grabbed a quick breakfast from Taquicardia and ate out on the patio at Simona's . Highly recommend!

    What a BEAUTIFUL boutique hotel. The rooms are all little suites!! Couches, kitchen area and FULL FRIDGE! I was shocked at the space and how gorgeous it was decorated. The gym was very small but had a very nice yoga studio attached. I would definitely stay here again!!

    Amazing staff. The hotel was clean, and spacious, with a modern touch. I was surprised by how quiet it was, and how accommodating everyone was. The hotel has a nice bar on-site. It was really nice to get to know know the bar staff. Location is also very convenient. Shot drive / walk to restaurants down congress Ave. Give this place a chance if you are looking for a newer, clean, convenient spot with amazing staff. Overall, I would definitely give this place 5 stars. I will be back in the future.

    Upstairs library overlooking deck and pool

    Who knew this was here?! I drive by all the time thinking it was just apartments and tucked away in the back is the most darling and charming retreat with a pool plus a speakeasy style coffeehouse and bar called Simona's. If you're not a guest of the hotel you can purchase a day pass for $30 to lounge at the pool. The adjacent deck is set up bistro style with a taco truck in true Austin fashion alongside it. While the lower level boasts a modern vibe with bustling conversation also offering cocktails upstairs was where I found my heaven in their sophisticated library with coffered ceilings and cozy velvet chairs and couches to curl up in with your latte. Covered attached parking garage next to lobby and your ticket is validated up to 4 hours with purchase! Enjoy!

    We visited Colton House Hotel this past weekend for a small getaway honeymoon. Upon arrival, the doors were opened for us and we were warmly greeted. All staff were extremely kind, and all details were in order according to our reservation. The hotel/accommodations were thoughtfully clean and aromatic. The grounds were well kept and up to date aesthetically. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would even return if in the Austin area again! Very pleased!

    Beautiful hotel with modern furnishings. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I saw another review stating the floors were concrete-- at least for my room, it seemed to just be painted to look like concrete. They definitely weren't as hard or as cold as the other review made it out to be, in my opinion. I found my stay comfortable...however, the hotel is next to a very busy street with a lot of construction outside, which might have been the biggest downfall. I'm not familiar with Austin-- looking at the map, it seemed like it was in a more walkable location than it ended up being as far as traffic and safety were concerned. The coffee shop connected to the hotel was nice and cozy. The food truck was a little hit or miss but it was nice to have the option so close.

    First time coming to Austin, we decided to stay at the Colton house! The vibe of this hotel is super cute. All the staff were really nice & friendly. We stayed in a king suite. It had a full kitchen! Included a sink ,Microwave, coffee pot and a full fridge! Walking distance to a lot of good spots! The cons the bed and pillows were pretty terrible that's really all I would have changed! The pillow felt like sleeping on a balloon and not in a good way.

    Absolutely gorgeous place tucked in where you would almost pass it up on the street. It's beautiful, quiet with lovely scenery. We went this past weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday and had the best time ever. Would definitely go back and highly recommend!

We also dined at Nido, the hotel's restaurant, for both dinner and breakfast, and it was definitely a highlight. Located on the topmost floor, Nido offers stunning views of the river and downtown Austin. With both indoor and outdoor seating, the ambiance is elegant and ideal for a special evening. During our visit, we saw a couple of groups celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries, which shows how perfect this place is for special occasions. The pricing is on the higher side, but it matches the upscale experience and beautiful setting. For dinner, we ordered the Burrata as an appetizer and the Autumn Garden for the main course, along with an American IPA and a Jack Frost cocktail. Everything was delicious, but the Burrata truly stood out as my favorite. Breakfast was equally enjoyable--we had custom-made omelettes with veggies and avocado toast, both fresh and flavorful. Overall, The Loren Hotel, along with Nido, offers a great blend of comfort, excellent food, and a beautiful atmosphere. A perfect choice if you're looking to celebrate something special or simply treat yourself to a high-end experience.

The Friday night gathering was amazing. It was a perfect setting on the eight floor to talk, mingle, and meet new people. The evening was warm enough to go outside on the balcony/deck and have conversations and enjoy a breeze. The room itself is large with a water station and a bar. A few short tables were set up for sitting and a few tall ones for standing. They had a nice selection of drinks from beer and wine to mixed drinks. The food included lobster rolls, sliders (chicken and beef), a tray of different veggies and dips, little balls of cheese and something, and aroncini? My favorite was canapés of Mellon and prosciutto. The saltiness of the prosciutto added to the flavor of the melon. This event was 5***** I blame the architect for the room setup. Why would you put bedrooms on the side of a hotel next to traffic. The noise, honking and sirens. It finally quieted down around 11:30. Saturday was also an issue. They do provide ear plugs and sound machines, neither works for me. I was also surprised there was no lotion in the room. There was no microwave. Everything else in the room was top notch. Robes, slippers, a safe, a bar, and fridge. Overall, the noise is what created the 3*** rating. That was very disappointing.

While I mostly kept to the hotel, when I did venture out, I found that there were lots of great dining options within walking distance. My only nitpick is that the Wi-Fi was unreliable, which I've seen mentioned in a few other reviews. My first night, there was an outage throughout the entire hotel. If this stay were not reimbursed, I would have removed a star considering rooms average $500 a night and reliable internet access is expected. However, I was given 2,500 bonus points after calling the front desk when I first noticed I didn't have service. Completely unexpected but very much appreciated and yet another testament to the great service here.

Upon arrival we were informed that our room was not only not ready, but they were "sold out" of double queens. Imagine my confusion as at had not reserved this room, I PREPAID for it. We were offered a King room with a fold out and a $75 credit at the bar which I begrudgingly accepted. So off to the bar we went. As we attempted to close out at the bar we were informed that we could not use the credit offered because our room had not been entered into the system. Credit was useless, I paid the tab and went to dinner. Came back 2 hours later, room still not ready. It is now 4 hours past check in time. I ask for a manager and at this point getting upset. Manager appears and threatens to throw me out. At this point I give up, go to the room that I don't want and call Amex to deal with the issue. I have stayed at the Driskill well over a dozen times thru out the years and I am really disappointed that this experience has ruined all of the good memories. Sadly it will be my last stay. I've had better treatment at a Super 8. Hyatt has really ruined a true Texas landmark with this sloppy management and poor customer service.
