A superb location right in the heart of Austin. The room was fabulously spacious, had a very comfortable large bed, with great toiletries provided. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I can't recommend it enough.

"Lovely, central stay in Austin!"

10.0

Great location just down from the Capitol and near a lot of very good restaurants. Very polite, helpful staff. We upgraded to a junior suite and were not disappointed. Very spacious with a large sitting area and two bathrooms. Wonderful water pressure in the shower. The bed and pillows were very comfortable.

Clean, comfortable, and in a great location.

Parking, but any hotel downtown, parking isn’t easy.

"Smart, comfortable hotel in Downtown Austin"

9.0

This was my second time staying at the Royal Sonesta for SXSW music festival. Everything was great. I liked my room a lot, which was a generous size, nicely air conditioned and had a great bathroom. I would happily stay here again for SXSW or any time I'm in Austin.
