    Alas, the South Congress Hotel’s last day was Sunday, May 31. Since we live in the neighborhood we enjoyed hanging out in the lobby, at the bar, at No Se Cafe, Maie Day and Manana over the years but it wasn’t until the Memorial Day weekend before The Standard takes over (June 1) that we finally stayed as guests. We enjoyed our staycation, hung out with drinks at the pool and got to experience SoCo as tourists. It was bittersweet but fun. We loaded up on some SoCo Hotel bling for old time’s sake — a coupla mugs, a nice woven throw blanket and a coupla really nice SoCo bathrobes. They’ll be good remembrances of our old stomping grounds. Long live the SoCo!

    We love South Congress so much. It’s our go to hotel in Austin. So sad to see it go!

    This is a beautiful property and very good value. We booked a large suite at a good rate. The problem? Housekeeping. When we checked in our door had been left ajar, and this happened every single time housekeeping came. On two different days housekeeping never showed... when they did, they didn't refresh the towels. For two straight days we never received bath mats which were essential for the shower/tub set-up. The concierge was well meaning, but directed us to a taco stand that was closed without checking hours. When we originally emailed the concierge for recs, we never received a response. Very nice property, great value, but a lot of service issues.

    The room has no fridge, only a mini-bar. I had to wolf down leftovers to not let them go to waste.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Very poor conditions of the property, I was appalled.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Parking is a fortune should validate for people staying at hotel

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Very nice hotel! Very clean room and well stocked mini bar in the room. The lobby bar was a very fun casual place to hang out with very nice and friendly bartenders. And the front desk staff were very warm and helpful. I will definitely be back!

  • Engine customer May 2026

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Mostly good location and nice room Don’t clean room everyday for an expensive hotel seems rather odd to me. Water in the shower was like warm at best and nothing was done about it

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Clean room, nice and friendly staff, convenient to shops and restaurants

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Overall I give this an overpriced MEH.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Design and furniture were great and well considered. It felt independent the team were wonderful The really loud party was very loud as predicted but we’re looked after and given earplugs and an invite

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    No hot water, broken fixtures, broken shower. This property is poorly taken care of. There's little care for upkeep here - v disappointing for price point
