The hotel itself is a bit old, but the location is good, but there are many better hotels

Free upgrade was advertised by ******* and front desk would not honor it even though available. They demanded a 25 dollar cost on upgrade. Totally misleading by ******* perk! Not good

We loved our time at The Stephen F Austin Royal Sonesta. The room was perfect. The bar and terrace was a unique highlight… the cocktails of the month are a must! Valet parking was very convenient too. Overall a wonderful stay!

Historic hotel with lots of cool character. Staff is charming and customer service is clearly a priority. The area is very fun. We walked around the capital, Riverwalk, and second Street all only a couple minutes from the hotel. Hotel has a well equipped brand new gym and a nice indoor pool and hot tub to enjoy on those cold days. We didn’t get a chance to enjoy the restaurant and bar but those looked like they had great ambience and outside balcony seating.

Nice location near capitol and restaurants. Nice lap pool and gym. Comfortable room. Was very quiet on the top 16th floor. Friendly helpful staff.

Beautiful hotel in downtown Austin. Close to all venues. Everything was in walking distance. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Did not visit bar but looked very pretty. Very quiet and accommodating room.

Our stay was 10 out of 10 from check in to check out. Friendly, professional staff and accommodations were beyond our expectations. Great location for an event or evening out on the town.

Hotel is in a good location. Some street noise leaks in, even on the 9th floor. Service is great. The room could be cleaner. There were pebbles on the closet floor, which I guess never gets vacuumed, but overall very decent. Enjoyed the bar and bar service.

The hotel is pretty much ideally located if you are looking to be close to the nightlife, and foodie scene, in Austin.
