Moxy Austin - University

Great location.

Such a cute hotel and the staff was excellent! Everyone was so nice! Will be back!

Cute little boutique hotel close to UT. The room and staff were all very nice. Unfortunately, around the property was a little sketchy. I saw at least one homeless man hanging outside the hotel. As a single woman traveling with my little dog, it did seem to be in a rough area and I was scared to take my dog outside to potty at night.

Unique and well designed

The room was modest yet nice. I liked the bar and outdoor area. Nice to have the ping pong and shuffle board

The entire set up of the property was amazing. The check in desk is right near the bar and the cool aesthetic is there. I did not like the small rooms and shower in the room. It felt a lil disjointed but the rest of the hotel was cool.

Love it

Love everything about this hotel.

Small but comfortable room. Very neat and clean. Easy check in and check out. Close to the venue I was going to.

While the style of the hotel was modern and cute, you can tell it’s a bit dingy. It’s also in the heart of the university and university living so there’s a ton of traffic, both pedestrians and vehicles at all times which creates a lot of noise. The room felt small and the design of having the sink and shower in the room and not separate was odd. There were no amenities like lotion, a coffee pot or even a refrigerator. So a pretty basic room. It ended up being fine for what we needed for one night but I likely wouldn’t return. Also, the only parking available is in their garage which is all valet and they charge $55 per night.

The receptionist was not very friendly. Barely polite, even. It was one of the situations where the words themselves were fine, but the body language was not welcoming at all. I felt like I was inconveniencing them by being there. We got to the elevator and could not get it to work. First, no one said we needed to scan the key card to get it to work, so we had to figure that out on our own. Second, the key card didn't even work. This is our first time at Moxy so we're absolutely figuring it out as we go. We scan the card multiple times but it never lets us select a floor. Finally we try the other card, suspecting that maybe this initial card was not properly activated and yes, it worked. Dropped our stuff off in the room and went back to have the card re-done. The same person helped us and acted like they'd never met us in their life. It felt absolutely rude and like an intentional power play, because the way they helped us was not nice. In the most patronizing way, they explained that we needed to keep the cards away from magnets. I mean, come on. To not explain anything else and then explain THAT?? Not a good look for Moxy. Your receptionists need to be receptive.

Loved all the whacky art/decor throughout the place, the comfy common spaces where we could enterain downstairs, and enjoyed exploring the campus and the capitol area on foot.

Bar was great and cheaper drink on the strip

the vibe !

Fun place! Rooms are small, but completely functional and well designed. Great location and just a fun vibe.

Pros - Right beside UT Austin so you if you are here for the university this is the place to stay for convenience. Great taco place on site and a good bar Cons - Created for Gen Z - Limited Lighting in the room, Semi Private shower so not great if you are with family, Noise from the very busy street on which it is situated. No reasonable parking option, they are hell bent on charging you the 20 dollars for early check in ( check in starts at 4, Not a big deal but annoying), Some homeless folks lurking around

The front desk was so friendly and nice. I liked the modern fun vibe and Pac-Man machines My room was small, but perfect for my stay and clean. I would stay again.

Was given a handicap accessible room and not given any discount for a downgrade in room status
