Overall Ratings & Reviews W Austin

Excellent location, staff n bar personnel very friendly and helpful with directions and activities

Quick overnight

First of all, this was our first stay in a W hotel. When I told the team that we were celebrating our anniversary. They immediately offered us complimentary upgrade. We were wowed when we opened the door to celebratory strawberries and champagne. My heart melted. My husband and I were thrilled and appreciative!

Really beautiful hotel-front desk employee Suzanne was so wonderful friendly and professional. You need more staff like her! Room service was terrible, over an hour to receive food and it was not that good.

Very nice rooms and amenities. Nice staff. Beautiful hotel.

Our brief stay at the W only served to remind us of how much Austin has fallen from the city we all once loved very much when we were young. I travel for work and stay in hotels weekly. I have been treated better at a $40/night cinderblock motel than how we were treated at The W. It all started when we pulled up to have our truck valet parked. Instantly, the young parking attendant gave attitude. He said, "I can't park that!" My husband said, with that attitude you can't" That was not received well, more attitude. Once we went inside to check in there was another patron having an issue with the front desk. A couple employees standing at he check in desk ignored us for 20 minutes before we were acknowledged. One of the bartenders at the speak easy type bar was very nice and helpful. The other bartender, not so much. He was rude. The other bartenders were getting large tips. We were being handed drink after drink. One patron at the bar was extremely rude to my husband and when my husband finally shot back a rude response, apparently this snowflake of a human being couldnt handle the response. He complained to the staff. When we wrapped up the night and in our room, we were met by a cop and manager telling us to get our things and get out. It seems once the tips stopped they threw us out with bs reasons. We were over served and in no shape to be on Austin streets at 2am with no where to go. The W panders to certain types with no real concern for all their patrons.

The front desk was very friendly. And so was the answering service and bartender. My only complaints are that 1) there was only one valet working and he was being called in a lot of directions so he wasn’t readily available and so there was a long wait to check in the car and 2) ordered room service. After 40 mins I called and they said they need another 20 mins. After 2 hours I cancelled it and just didn’t eat dinner that night. It was only 2 hamburgers! 😬

I paid for a corner room thinking it was going to be a bit more spacious. Instead, it had a huge column inches from the bed which made the room really crowded (like a NYC room).

If not the lap of luxury it’s the hip! Totally encapsulates the cool Austin vibe—centrally located at a luxe location. Quiet, sumptuous, clean, and discreet. The Living Room bar vinyl turntable for the win!

Really Enjoyed our stay and we will be staying with y'all again Thank You.

BEWARE!!! They will charge you $62 per night for your car to be in valet even as a hotel guest. This is outrageously absurd and is not in line with other downtown hotels of this caliber or higher. Stay anywhere else as most of the comparable hotels will either comp your valet if you are a hotel guest or charge somewhere in the ballpark of $30/night. Or they’ll charge a single fee for your entire stay with unlimited in and out privileges. I called to question the high charges, was transferred to the manager, who argued with me that the price is in line despite my having stayed at Fairmont two weeks ago and having my valet comped as a hotel guest. I then asked if he has the authority to comp at least one night to which he replied “I do but I’m not going to”. !! Other notes: They forgot our room service order one night so they did comp the order but it took 90 mins to arrive. I would have rather paid and gotten my dinner on time (as expected). I ordered an americano from the on site restaurant Trace one morning, it took 10 mins for the bartender to bring it and when she did she just brought straight espresso. I asked her if she had hot water and she said she didn’t but she could get some. Took another 5 mins. Personally I will never be back knowing all the other great options in town- Proper, Fairmont, Thompson, Westin, JW Marriot. ANYWHERE but here.

It was very nice and we will be staying again in September

Love the decor and staff was awesome. Only disappointment was that the pool was overused and murky from humans.

Top notch service.

Very convenient next door to Austin City Limits!
