My stay at The Carpenter was excellent! Customer service, cleanliness, amenities, location and vibes were a 10/10.

This was our second stay at the Carpenter. The location is walkable, and easy to get around to other areas of Austin. We liked sitting out on the patio in the room. The room service for coffee in the morning was very quick, as was the service at the pool. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

10/10

I’m so pleased I booked this hotel - it couldn’t have been better. I stayed for 8 nights and the location was brilliant, walkable to everything I wanted to do and close to several excellent food options (Terry Black’s for barbecue, P Terry’s for burgers, and many others). The room was incredibly clean (I walked around the room barefoot on the concrete flooring and feet stayed clean - very impressive), spacious and comfortable with everything I needed, and no noise from neighbouring rooms. Excellent service from all the team, they were really helpful and welcoming. The coffee shop and pool at the hotel were also fantastic. I didn’t use room service but did order food at the pool one day and that was great, and very good value too. The rooms and all areas of the hotel are very well designed and very well maintained, and I hope to have a reason to return to Austin so that I can stay at the Carpenter Hotel again.

For those people who are not too keen on traveling to Texas for work, this is the perfect location with a wonderful coffee shop and restaurant.

Unusual decor reminds one of a spa swim club. Interesting to learn that this was one a place where visiting carpenters stayed, hence the name. We had a private balcony looking into the branches of a large pecan tree. We loved every aspect of our room. And nearby Barton Springs Rd. has lots to offer!

Easy parking, convenient location to the bridge and Barton springs. The rooms themselves are quiet (you won’t hear neighbors), but the hallway is super loud (you will hear every suitcase, door, and conversation from out there). It’s quality and clean with fun decor and amazing showers! The front desk staff are always super kind. Would stay again and recommend.
