Top The Vortex Hotel Reviews

AT&T Hotel & Conference Center at the University of Texas

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful staff"

Hyatt House Austin/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was fantastic, clean hotel, breakfast was amazing. I didn’t care for the location due to not wanting to hang out on 6th Street. However, if that is for you, it is a convenient location. We used an Uber for most our destinations around the area."

Aloft by Marriott Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Love, love Aloft. Location, staff, room, restaurant amazed!"

Hotel Van Zandt

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay!! We loved it so much. Highly recommend."

Placemakr Austin Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Austin Capitol / Downtown

8/10 Good

"The place is clean and it has the basics you need , but nothing fancy. The facilities are old but working. The location is great. Breakfast is very basic, nothing cooked, except for boiled eggs. My only complaint is the noise - even at 10:30pm there’s sirens from the police car and noisy luggage rolling across the corridor."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG

8/10 Good

"Entrance is confusing because the property is merged w Indigo hotel. This was not a great welcome, especially since my uber driver was also confused. Pool was cool and clean--perfect. Room was large and clean. When i thought the hairdryer was missing (hung up in a closet--shouldn't it be in the bathroom?) someone brought another one right away. Staff in general were helpful and friendly."

Origin Austin, A Wyndham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff here was amazing and property is lovely. Nice location with stores and restaurants around. This is a five star review, but just one suggestion, the rooms close to the elevator are a little bit noisy. Maybe there’s something that can be done about that. Otherwise, everything was great."
