“Perfect value for an Austin trip”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

On the cusp of where downtown Austin meets the University of Texas campus, right over Interstate 35, is the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Austin - University Area. While not ideal for walking to either downtown or the university, it is only a 3 to 5 minute drive to each one, and parking is not much of an issue no matter... More

“Business Trip”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

Very satisfied with the service and quality of the Double Tree during my stay. Will recommend this hotel, and will stay again if I have the occasion. Staff was pleasant and helpful, and the hotel was nice and quiet.

“Worst experience ever!”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

Blocked rooms for a Bridal Party- rooms were not only not on the same floor but were not ready at check in, which was at 3:00- took almost 2 additional hours! Then the "supervisor" gave us a dirty conference room to hold our Bridal Shower where I had to clean it myself because it was "not her problem"! Worst experience... More

Dear Melissa P, Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel and for you feedback. I would like to apologize for the service given to you by our supervisor and not having your rooms ready and on the same floor when you came to check in. I agree that the conference room had to be cleaned before assigning... More

“Just average, other than the Cemetery View!”

Stayed here for one night during our visit to Austin. Our room was a bit loud due to the a/c fan unit right outside of the window. I requested to switch rooms but was denied after being told no other rooms were available. The room was just average, as long as you do not find the view of the cemetery... More

“Good Location, Decent Hotel”

Reviewed 2 May 2013

This hotel is located at a convenient location for cabbing or even walking to the downtown Austin attractions. We only stayed one night, so we didn't get to really explore much, but the hotel was decent, not fancy, but nice. Breakfast was a standard hotel continental breakfast with good service. The front desk was very helpful. Overall, good for business... More

“Convenient location, great stay”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

The hotel was easy to get to, very close to the heart of downtown. Everyone was friendly and took care of my entire family. We had several rooms in the hotel, all booked separately, which took time and effort to treat us as a group, and we couldn't have been more satisfied.

“Nice Value in Good Location”

Reviewed 18 April 2013

Nice tidy room and friendly staff. We had rental bikes and got around fine from this location and used the city bus several times with a stop just blocks from the hotel. Our first room had a broken air conditioner, but they moved us to a much nicer room and all was fine.

Reviewed 15 April 2013

We loved the convenient location of the Double-Tree near the University in Austin, TX. We had a great time in Austin, and our hotel seemed to always be just a 10-15 minute drive from everything we wanted to do. It was great to be able to get back to the room to rest or freshen up, and when we did,... More
