I absolutely loved my stay at The Driskill! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the warm and attentive staff, who went above and beyond to make my visit special. Their hospitality was top-notch, making me feel right at home. The room was absolutely adorable—beautifully designed with a charming, historic feel while still offering modern comforts. The bed was super comfy, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. Everything about the hotel exudes coziness and elegance, from the stylish décor to the inviting atmosphere. Beyond the accommodations, the entire experience was exceptional. The hotel’s rich history, impeccable service, and prime downtown location make it a standout choice for anyone visiting Austin. Whether you’re here for a getaway or a special occasion, The Driskill is an absolute must-stay. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to return

The people that work at the Driskill Hotel are what make this amazing hotel even more amazing! We were there for my daughter's 12th birthday and she didn't want to leave. They definitely made us feel welcome and special. They were so helpful from booking to paying my bill.

First time staying at a Hyatt hotel and it was not the greatest experience. Hotel is beautiful. However, tried checking in at 4:15p and the room wasn’t ready that it needed a final inspection. Waited more than 45 mins for the room to be ready then rushing to a 5:30 dinner reservation. They did give me a $60 credit at the bar for the inconvenience. But after a long day of traveling and trying to stick to plans just wanted to relax in the room for a little bit. Stayed in the Lone Star Suite and the bed pillows had such a strong odor that I felt like someone just went to gym and used the pillows to dry themselves. Also, wish they would have put a full picture of the bathroom on the website. It was so small. Wish I would have upgraded to the LBJ suite instead. The suite also had a doorbell and someone did ring it at 0400. Overall it was fine for the couple of days we stayed but can’t imagine staying any longer than that there.

Fabulous location, right on the strip and live music just steps away! The most comfortable bed and a ceiling fan in room - so nice. The bathroom was laid out nicely with private shower/sink/stool and a second sink area outside of it. The food was outstanding and the staff was incredibly accommodating and engaged. Really enjoyed this visit!

Cannot be trusted with your credit card and terrible customer service handling their mismanagement. The hotel charged me for services they cannot even explain (stated that I "should" not have been charged; but I was...and they will not provide a receipt nor issue a refund...told me to take it up with my bank). Further, they charged for room service that I did not order. They did refund those charges, but didn't seem too bothered that I got woken up in the middle of the night by the individual trying to bring the room service I DID NOT ORDER. The hotel itself is unique, but the spaces are quirky and not very functional. The place is not clean and the stairwell smells like open sewer. The reason I know what the stairwell is like is that they only had 1 functional elevator while I was there. The place is just tired. And the people are untrustworthy. Would rate zero stars overall if I could... Save yourself a lot of grief and go elsewhere.
