Top North Central Austin Hotel Reviews

Placemakr Austin Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Placemakr in Austin. The unit was nicely appointed, with two comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms, which gave us plenty of space. It felt much more like staying in an apartment than a hotel, and was very comfortable for a couple of days working while in the city. The location was great—close to downtown and convenient for getting around. Despite being so central, it was also very quiet, which we really appreciated. Comfortable, spacious, well located, and a great setup for a work stay or a few days exploring Austin. We’d happily stay here again."

Aloft by Marriott Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"It was an amazing stay , I stayed with 2 friends and myself on 2 queen beds with were comfortable. They have a Breakfast spot on the 1st floor ( Caroline ) with an amazing choice of healthy food options & juices. It was a 12 min walk to the bars but there are gentleman's nearby in a bicycle to give you a ride for $20 on the 2nd floor there is a bar with outdoor sitting as well and play good music. Loved it."
