    Nothing. This is a great hotel

    Having stayed at Proper Santa Monica I definitely wanted to book this hotel. It was just as good as the Proper hotel in Santa Monica. Wonderful reception, nice drinking and dining options, fantastic food and drink, and wonderful ambience. The gym is among the best hotel gyms I have ever been to. And I'm picky about gyms!

    Downtown modern hotel with attentive staff. Super location.

    The ground floor bar and restaurant areas were very very busy at nights - uncomfortably so as a hotel resident making it less inviting space to spend any time in.

    Modern hotel in great downtown location. Lovey choice of bars and restaurants onsite. My wife used the Verbena Spa and exclaimed it was one of the bet treatments she had ever had. Lovely touch receiving a bottle of prosecco delivered to the room on arrival. The Quill Room was a lovely bar - good for some lite bites and drinks. Roof top pool and swim up bar was a nice sun trap - staff were very attentive and made sure we were well looked after.

    Felt impersonal. The view from the pool deck was of a power plant & a homeless encampment. Not the hotel's fault, but a stark comparison to the posh vibe of the hotel.

    This hotel is everting you would expect and more from the Design Hotel Group. It's ineriors are exquisitely decorated with every attention given to detail. To compliment the interiors were the exceptional service of the staff. They where attentive, friendly and always helpful. Even our kids agreed that this was the best hotel they have ever been to. The facilities where excellent and we may just have had the best Margaritas we've ever tasted at the pool bar! In the evenings the lobby lounge turned into a vibrant hang out for guest and locals, which we loved. Even though we did not join in every night, it was wonderful to come back after a day of shopping or sightseeing to experience a lively atmosphere that was welcoming. Will we go back? Most definitely! It is after all, a proper hotel.

    The only thing I could say was that on the night we arrived, the reception team forgot to tell us that we needed to 'swipe' the card to get the elevator to work...we pressed loads of buttons before we figured it out! Everything else was just wonderful.

    The hotel room was infinitely comfortable - the bathroom super clean and everything I needed was in the room, including a steamer for clothes! (we were travelling from London to Austin via NY for a wedding, so you can imagine the state of my outfit for the wedding, having been in a suitcase for days in NYC!). I would highly recommend Austin Proper Hotel Austin to anyone who is looking for a great place to stay in the city centre!
