We stayed at Hotel Magdalena for 5 nights. Our stay was enjoyable overall but not as perfect as I would have hoped, given the price point. The Good: - Excellent location for visitors from out of town. Lots of restaurants, ice cream, coffee shops steps away. There is lots of shopping nearby but it's largely upscale. If you are a good walker, you can easily cross the South Congress bridge and explore downtown Austin. - The hotel is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. The grounds are landscaped and designed very well, and the pool was an excellent amenity. The Bad: - Upon checking in, I was notified of a hold on my card that was alarming to the least. I initially paid for 2 nights via Expedia and then later changed my reservation to stay 3 more nights, with the balance to be paid at the end of the stay. The amount authorized on my card was nearly 3X the balance owed, even including amenity fees and incidentals. They were very nice and fixed the "mistake" once asked, but it left me uneasy knowing that they could make such a serious error and not every guest would necessarily catch it. - The sliding bathroom door did not lock and would therefore slide open on its own occasionally. Not great for if you have guests over to your room.

We celebrate door anniversary here and it was a wonderful experience! I love the restaurant on site that served really great brunch items. The rooms were cute and modern. The hotel itself is off the Main Street on South Congress but completely walkable location. It was perfect! Parking is valet but it was easy and convenient. Would stay here again 10/10!

After check-out, I got a separate bill for an extra $28/day in extra "resort fees" because I booked on Expedia - which supposedly covers the WiFi and pool towels? Having an undisclosed extra fee after the fact is extremely irritating to me and is honestly enough to keep me from coming back again. Please note that parking is not included and parking in this area is very expensive, too. Good things: If you want to be in the mix of everything South Congress has to offer, this place is for you. If you're a bit of a party person, all the better! I found the suite perfectly spacious, well designed, clean, and comfortable. I really enjoyed the little balcony, open concept of the courtyard, the calm, cozy pool, and access to basically unlimited dining and shopping within a mile walk. As others have mentioned, there is some noise at night but nothing a white noise app can't fix. And I personally like that housekeeping doesn't come every day - I find that wasteful and intrusive.

Cleanliness and in room service was excellent. Very nice cool hotel (decoration and ambiance) We felt that all was quite good with the exception of the restaurant, even though food was good, waiters are poorly trained and/or lack experience. Still they were polite and friendly.

Interiors could use some touch up. Toilet, sink faucet fixtures were loose, duvet had yellow stains, cleaners took toiletry items and returned the next day? Strange. Mornings are loud with blowers and power washing. Just a couple things but enjoyed the location and design of hotel minus the elevator. Very slow and couldn’t walk down stairs to leave hotel.

Disliked: Amenities
Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Magdalena. It's in a good, walkable area with plenty to do nearby, if a little generic and touristy. The staff were always pleasant and helpful when I had a question and the room was comfortable and well appointed, I especially loved the Sferra bed linens and the Fruta de Sangre bath products. The restaurant menu was a little limited but the food was delicious and the service was, again, great. The only negative thing that prevents me from giving the place an all out positive recommendation was the surprising amount of noise I encountered during my stay. I was on the 2nd floor in a room that located just over the restaurant area and the music they played was incredibly loud in that area. It wasn't too much of an issue when I was gone during the day, but it would start at 7AM and go well into the evening which made sleeping difficult. Also, on both mornings of our stay there were landscapers running leafer blowers at 8 AM and maintenance workers working on various parts of the property. I understand stuff happens sometimes but I do think a hotel claiming 4 stars should be more thoughtful of guest comfort, especially when it comes to hours when people normally sleep. I would recommend to anyone thinking about staying here to possibly see if they can get a room away from the restaurant to at least mitigate any issues with the music in the courtyard.
