The Carpenter Hotel offers a stylish, relaxed stay with modern rooms that feel warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The atmosphere is calm and inviting, with a mix of minimalist décor and Austin charm. Staff are friendly and attentive, and the outdoor spaces add to the hotel’s appeal. With great food, a laid-back vibe, and a convenient location, it’s a standout spot for a comfortable, memorable stay.

We haven’t even checked into our rooms yet and just by the service alone from Luci (from the coffee shop) and Bianca (at the front desk), we can tell this is a special place. How 2 people can make you feel so immediately at home while on vacation takes a truly special skill. I hope Carpenter Hotel feels lucky to have them!

Terrible and unprofessional

The hotel is extremely noisy. Hallways and rooms have lots of hard surfaces. Which makes things louder than normal. Also there was a garbage truck and a delivery truck that came through the backside of the hotel somewhere between 3:00 and 5:00 in the morning.

Just stayed for my wedding weekend- we paid $800 a night for a room 1/3 the size of my best friend who paid $343 a night. Really confused, called and they said “sorry that happened sometimes.” We live in Austin and eat dinner here consistently and reserve pool passes all of the time. So disappointed in what used to be a great place when locally owned.

Pawning off prison-vibe as minimalist-hip, this hotel is closer to a hostel than a real establishment. Love paper thin walls and doors? Enjoy the bare plywood aesthetic? Want to feel what it's like to stay at a construction site? This place is for you.

Terrible service at check in. Booked a hotel from Expedia as king size normal room. When we were checking in the front desk representative wanted to put us in a handicap room and asked to pay extra not get a normal room. While my booking from Expedia doesn’t say that this is a handicap room. No consideration what so ever and kept blaming Expedia We ended up paying the fee and were extremely disappointed.

The Carpenter Hotel has been my favorite stay in recent memory. It's chic, but not pretentious. The food is amazing, and it's a cool hangout spot for guests and for the public. Instead of being exclusive, the vibe is to bring people together with unique events (that honestly I wish I would be in town for) and cool spaces. You can tell that the staff truly cares about the property and paying homage to the location. The pool is luscious, the grounds are beautifully kept, and everything from the high-quality, yummy-smelling shampoo and conditioner in the room to the free beverages they give you during your stay are thoughtful. Yes, you have to pay for parking, but they have a parking attendant who actually watches the garage. Also, we felt like we saved money in other ways. You don't have to check out until noon (praise! I am so sick of 10am check-out times). From 2-5pm, the restaurant offers happy hour, and the entire menu is 1/2 off. We enjoyed the crispy potatoes, gem salad, and burger with our free prosecco and it was delicious. I will dream about those potatoes, and we only paid $70 for three dishes and two drinks. Plus, the hotel doesn't charge extra for having pets. At places like a Hilton, you can't get internet or even bottles of water for free. For a boutique hotel in such a central, cool location, I don't think it gets much better. The Carpenter is really doing it better than most other places, and we loved our stay. 10/10

I really love the off-to-the-side vibes of the Carpenter. It's just got something I like, it's familiar like the public library in the town I grew up in. It's tucked away, off to the side. But it's still right near the action.
The staff are bright, warm and always super friendly. This place feels sooooo ATX. Like a more chill and San Jose. Really high on the list of my picks for Austin lodging.

Nice-not great property. No coffee, microwave, or iron in the room and the bed is really low to the ground. You are charged for parking for each night you are there…35.00 per night! The restaurant was good but man was it expensive too! On the plus side, it was very clean, cute retro vibe, and lots of green plants. The coffee shop does have great coffee too.

Our favorite family stay in Austin! We love the pool, restaurant and coffee bar, plus being right off the trail and able to walk/bike to Butler/Alliance Park, Zilker Park, Barton Springs, great dining and so much more. Sweet team and love that parking is easy! 🤍

This little gem is perfectly located, with a total Austin vibe. Near the incomparable ZACH Theatre, there are several unique restaurants and bars within easy walking distance.
The hotel itself offers lovely amenities, including a restaurant, coffee shop, and a secluded, resort-like pool.
The staff is amazing… Alex and Sailor went out of their way to help me plan a wonderful girls’ weekend with my besties from Dallas, who enjoyed a delicious taste of what makes Austin such an iconic city.
A memorable time was had by all. We will definitely be back!
