Hyatt House Austin/Downtown

Hyatt House Austin/Downtown

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay. The rotating breakfast options were a huge plus, had a great variety each day with plenty of high-carb and healthy choices, which was perfect for our fitness competition. There was also lots of space to sit and eat comfortably. The location was convenient, and we realized it was only a short walk to the busy nightlife. However, it didn’t feel like the safest area to walk back from bars alone or without a larger group. Our room was great, spacious, clean, and we appreciated having a small kitchen with a microwave, sink, and fridge. The only downside was parking. We had to choose between valet or feeding street meters. They were fast to bring car around when we needed it. Other than that, it was a solid stay."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Downtown Austin

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Downtown Austin is in January, August, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For an affordable yet enriching experience, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully appreciate the city's key landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions. During your visit, you can enjoy vibrant live music scenes, engaging theatre performances, entertaining festivals, and lively dancing events, all of which offer great value for money. Additionally, exploring the urban landscape on a bike or indulging in local art exhibits will enhance your cultural experience in this dynamic city.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Downtown Austin, you may start by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you're more likely to see discounted rates on hotels nearing your travel date. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications for updates on flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you stay informed about potential savings. Furthermore, the Smart Shopping tool available through the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed decisions. If prices drop or rooms become available, you'll be promptly notified, making it easier to seize a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Downtown Austin hotel. If you're seeking unique accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may sometimes offer better value.

If the price is on the higher end, we will suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, allowing you to potentially secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying nearer to key attractions or city centres may offer convenience, but it often comes with elevated costs.

Additionally, exploring independent hotels located further afield can lead to a more authentic and typically more affordable experience.
