Hotel Magdalena

Great hotel for a quick trip.

Great staff from Trent the valet, to the Summer House, Dessa and Blake. Walkable to shops and lovely linens.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Magdalena. It's in a good, walkable area with plenty to do nearby, if a little generic and touristy. The staff were always pleasant and helpful when I had a question and the room was comfortable and well appointed, I especially loved the Sferra bed linens and the Fruta de Sangre bath products. The restaurant menu was a little limited but the food was delicious and the service was, again, great. The only negative thing that prevents me from giving the place an all out positive recommendation was the surprising amount of noise I encountered during my stay. I was on the 2nd floor in a room that located just over the restaurant area and the music they played was incredibly loud in that area. It wasn't too much of an issue when I was gone during the day, but it would start at 7AM and go well into the evening which made sleeping difficult. Also, on both mornings of our stay there were landscapers running leafer blowers at 8 AM and maintenance workers working on various parts of the property. I understand stuff happens sometimes but I do think a hotel claiming 4 stars should be more thoughtful of guest comfort, especially when it comes to hours when people normally sleep. I would recommend to anyone thinking about staying here to possibly see if they can get a room away from the restaurant to at least mitigate any issues with the music in the courtyard.

Loved the vibe and look. Our room was decent size. It opened to a fairly unfortunate alley where trash was thrown away late and early. We had an issue with our refrigerator beeping non stop in the middle of the night. Somebody looked at it right away but had to just unplug it. The location and price were great.

Very friendly staff and clean, modern rooms and amenities. It was a very pleasant stay and definitely hope to return

Great grounds and location on South Congress. We had a "studio" room. It was compact but comfortable. Bathroom was very small. Valet parking was unsatisfactory. Only one valet on duty at a time. We encountered a problem with one valet having to deal with 7 vehicles at the same time. Also Austin is a late night town. We arrived back at our room on Friday night at midnight only to find that valet service had shut down for the night. The desk clerk instructed us to lock the car, leave it in the street with the flasheers on and bring the key to him and someone would eventually take care of it. I want to stress the individual valets were very helpful. This is a management and staffing issue. I would not return again if I had a car with me.

What a wonderful, quirky hotel. It’s my first time at Hotel, and I will be back. It’s perfectly located at South Congress to go and explore the very cool area, full of great shops, restaurants, music venues, and bars.

We had a nice 3 night stay. Hotel is super attractive in trendy, Instagram-y way, The location is really excellent Parking was expensive so we opted to find an on street spot and mostly ventured out on foot. We also had some nice evenings in the bar which had great service. The room was clean, we loved the shower and the bed. Aesthetics rule over practicality; for example no reading lights around the bed and washcloths would have been nice! Overall, would probably go back as it fits an Austin adventure nicely.

This is a great location with lots of retail and restaurants around. Easy walk to downtown. The property is really pretty and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was a little asutere for my taste
