We booked several rooms for UT graduation and were thrilled we choose someplace special. The front bellhop, valet service was efficient and friendly. The front desk staff was courteous and helpful. Trenton,...

Awful Service on my WEDDING night!

My new husband and I arrived at the Driskill in a horse and carriage. I was in my wedding gown and he in his tuxedo. We walked passed 3 door attendants and no one offered to help us with our luggage. I guess...

Disappointing stay

I just returned home from for my disappointing 30th birthday stay at the Driskill. First, our room was tiny - the bed comprised nearly the entire room - and the air conditioning obnoxiously loud. Second, the...

Driskill

This a great restuarant with lots of style. The food is pretty good too. The service could have been better.

We booked a room with a king bed and got 2 doubles they said they only had so many kings. But they booked a reservation for a king and did let us know they were not available when we could have changed our...

WeddingWire.com user review

The site is absolutely gorgeous! I got all of my catering through them, as well as my cake, and they did a phenomenal job. It was harder to pick the food than it ever was to pick out my wedding dress! We did a...

What a Stunning Historic Hotel!

We have stayed here twice and the service keeps getting better!!! The rooms are on the smaller size, but it is a historic property! The thought that people have been staying here over 100 years is amazing! The...

Do not waste your time

The main lobby as an historic property, but the rest of the hotel. Don't waste your money. There are better places in downtown.

great for a bar visit but thats all

We stayed at the Driskill for one night on the 4rth floor - which is I believe part of the original part of the building, it was extremely cramped and the bathroom subpar (ive seen better for cheaper, which...

Don't do it

The lobby is beautiful. The rooms are tiny and VERY expensive. The staff are arrogant and rude. I stayed there for my honeymoon and upon arrival did not have my wallet for them to "swipe my credit card." They...

beautiful

My family and I always recommend to our out of town guests who like to stay in downtown for a full experience - they just have to atleast stay at the Driskill for 1 night. Experience the history of it, the...

Simply Magnificent!!!

Staying at the Driskill is a must if you are staying in Austin. We have travelled all over the US and The Driskill ranks among the most memorable hotels we have ever stayed at and the rates are very reasonable...

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!

The Driskill is beautiful! Lobby, Driskill Grill, select suites. Caveat emptor - book directly with the Hotel so you know what you're getting. The "traditional" (newer) rooms are just plain ol' hotel rooms....

Not Impressed

I stayed at the Driskill on business. Even though I had made a reservation for two nights, the hotel had me staying for only one night. My law firm sent an overnight FedEx to me for Friday morning delivery. I...

Beautiful...

The front desk staff, valet and bellman were the nicest I have ever met. I stay all over the world and this hotel was among the best. Not your average corporate chain. Rooms were historic and elegant with all...

Not so good...

We come to Austin every month or two and usually stay at the Four Seasons. We decided to try the Driskill. The service was sub-optimal, we could not get room-service on the phone (had to walk down and order...

dream vacation

What's not to love? It's historic, it's haunted, it's almost ridiculously beautiful. I can't say enough about how great the Driskill is.

New Experience Every Time

What is best about the Driskill is it's history and uniqueness. Everytime I have stayed there I have heard or read another fasinating story relating to the hotel's history. And walking around in the hallways...

Low ceilings make me feel freaky

OK, so this place is admittedly one of the cooler places to stay in Austin, but I really wish they're raise the roof (literally) a bit in that lobby bar. I feel like I'm caught in an elevator while I'm trying...
