Do not stay facing Music street as supply trucks start dropping off at 5am and it was LOUD!! Only way I would stay again was for the location. It is not worth spending over $250 night. Prices too high for what you get!

Design was great. Not a service oriented hotel . No valet service, no bottled water in the room, limited lighting, no sound insulation, road noise from 18 wheelers, delivery trucks and garbage pick up was non - stop! Pack your ear plugs. Oh , and very overpriced

Hotel has a great central garden space and nice pool. It feels a bit like it may have had more soul before being taken over by Hyatt. Room was nice but not amazing, shower relatively low water pressure and small. It was a nice hipster corporate hotel but there are better options in Austin

This hotel is my absolute favorite place in Austin, Texas. I actually live in Austin Texas, but I go stay here quite often. The staff always remembers my name and they make me feel like family. The rooms are beautiful and clean and the location cannot be beat. I highly recommend this hotel and the Summer house which is the restaurant attached to. It is amazing as well. If you’re coming for Austin city limits, music festival or SXSW or the F1 races this location and Hotel cannot be beat! I highly recommend the Hotel Magdalena!

Beautifully designed hotel in the most wonderful area. We enjoyed the central location and being able to walk everywhere. The rooms and common areas have a unique and very creative interior design aesthetic. The large balconies outside the rooms provided a wonderful place to sit with coffee in the morning surrounded by nature. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. The pool is magnificent! We look forward to staying here again.

Really loved the front desk team despite not remembering the names of the two women who assisted and were outstanding. Pool bartender was also very gracious. Room was spacious and comfortable. Bed was a bit low, but I can't complain because it was comfortable. Property was quiet and nicely maintained. I would definitely return and plan to.

I really love this hotel kind of booked it last minute, but it turned out to be a perfect choice super stylish. The location is amazing very friendly staff and they love the dog. The hotel ground is absolutely gorgeous. Room is more on the minimal side and industrial chic, but I was very comfortable 10 out of 10 for everything

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is beautiful, lush gardens and minimalist but creative decor. I did not like that we paid for a suite and it was not ready upon check in, the mini bar was empty and never stocked after we asked, and we could not sleep thanks to the group that was allowed to be in the pool from 11:30pm to 2am right outside our window. Speaking of not sleeping, the air conditioning unit in suite 219 needs to be checked because it makes excessive noise when it kicks in overnight.

upon arrival at 4pm a pool party with extremely loud music started. I called the Front Desk to ask what was going on and he attempted to gaslight me into thinking there was no music. It took me about 5 to 10 minutes of convincing him to stick his head outside to prove to him that there was a concert going on. He had no idea. later I realize that my room was getting hot and had an engineer come out to check the AC. Turns out the AC had completely broken and they needed to have me move rooms entirely. After everything settled down it was a fine day but I didn't get a single apology or any explanation to the gaslighting or then putting me into a room with a broken AC.
