This was a lovely space in a great location! The room was very clean. For the price I thought the rooms were small. If you are not great at technology like me, it was also actually quite confusing figuring out how to get in the location of the rooms. Overall a very lovely place but in my opinion overpriced for the experience.

Right off Congress Ave and noisy. I tried to call property to see if I could switch rooms (which I would’ve paid for) and nobody answered or called me back, which was disappointing.

Thanks for the review! Our free parking is first come first served (but, hey, at least it's free -- which is a big deal for SoCo hotels ). There's tons of other (free and paid) parking options in the area and our team is always happy to help you find a spot!

I loved it. Perfect location to walk to restaurants and shops in a nice area. There is a bar with live music across the street but when you enter your room and close the door, you don’t hear a sound. The room was spotlessly clean and any amenities you could think of were thoughtfully provided. The common room with a very expensive coffee/cappuccino machine and complementary beer and wine and filtered water is awesome. The towels were bright, white and soft. There was a lovely comfy bathrobe to wear. The toiletries they provide are full size. There is no check-in desk. I mentioned before we arrived that it would be unusually cold during our visit and asked for an extra blanket and all was provided and waiting for us when we checked in. I feel you only need to text the staff and they will respond.

Unique Hotel Experience Suits Specific Needs
The hotel was very clean and conveniently located. The code-based access was nice. The lack of staff and/or a lobby was nice for this kind of trip. There are no amenities like a pool or a gym, but the proximity to South Congress is very nice. The White Tiger bar backs up to the hotel, but the music ended by 10:15 PM during our stay.

Loved the open courtyard area. It was the perfect location for us. The room was comfortable and clean. Enjoyed having coffee, and other beverages available 24 hours. The only thing I would change would be to have a microwave (unless we missed it) in the hospitality room. Such a cool spot.

Hi Sue - thanks so much for choosing the Kimber and for your wonderful feedback! FYI, there is a microwave in the island area (bottom drawer) in the Common Room. We'll double-check that the information on that is in the guest portal so folks don't miss it in the future. Looking forward to your next stay!

I stayed here for a long weekend. The facility is excellent- one of the best places I have ever stayed. Very small, with only a few rooms centered around a courtyard. Every room is a fantastic option. The common room is wonderful- they offer coffee, spring and sparkling water on tap, as well as a variety of beverages in the fridge. The courtyard is serene and shaded. I honestly cannot say enough good things. All that being said, there is one thing you should know. If you get a room that has a balcony out to the street, there is a bar kitty-corner from the hotel that has live music most nights until 2. It’s loud. If that is your scene, it’s awesome. It isn’t mine. But even that being said, it didn't bother me and I absolutely will stay here every time I come to Austin because all of those pluses BY FAR outweigh that small negative.

The property runs like and Airbnb rather than a hotel. No staff on the premises. The lounge is nice but it would be nice if they had packets of peanuts for example. I would stay again and recommend but perhaps I would suggest a lower price point given the no frills, self check in feature

This place is a true gem!!! As a single female I felt completely safe. Incredible location right off of South Congress. Easy parking. The bars do have bands playing that you can hear from the complex BUT they were done by 10pm every night. Can't complain about that for the fact that in my opinion. If you go to bed before 10 you don't need to be hanging around close to South Congress anyways (:

The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and lovely, and we especially loved the quiet "zen" feel of the beautiful courtyard garden. We especially appreciated having been provided a sound machine when the dumpsters outside our windows were emptied and the leaf blower commenced very early in the morning. Street parking was a challenge with limited private parking spaces available.
