Frommer's "This B&B...has friendly perks for the business traveler as well as upscale amenities. ... Rooms vary quite a bit in size and layout." Full review
Lonely Planet "The wraparound porches might sag a bit, but they're a gracious place to sit a spell. Works well for guests who plan to come and go, without needing lots of personal direction." Full review
Gayot "A welcome feature is a private bath in all rooms, many with a clawfoot tub (and shower) to the delight of those who enjoy a relaxing soak at the end of the day."
Fodor's "A charming bastion of historic hospitality sits just off UT campus, amid the otherwise lackluster surroundings of student apartments and frat houses." Full review

"This seven-room hotel, situated in an intimate Craftsman-style house in the up-and-coming East Austin area, lives up to its "unique boutique" billing." Full review
Gayot "This mid-century-style boutique hotel embodies the intangible elements that define Austin: creative, easygoing and cool."

Travel + Leisure "If you're coming to Austin ready to eat...the Heywood, opened by George Reynolds and Kathy Setzer in 2012, puts you within walking distance of some amazing East Austin restaurants." Full review

"A stylish boutique hotel offering handcrafted hospitality in vibrant East Austin." Full review
Time Out "A 1925 bungalow outfitted with seven suites marked by timeless interior touches like longleaf pine floors and cathedral ceilings, mixed with modern locally-made furnishings." Full review
Afar Magazine "Feels more like an achingly cool designer friend’s house than a hotel, and in the best possible way." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Its mess-with-convention vibe reflects the ethos of the gritty neighborhood of galleries, taquerias, and cafés." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Tucked into East Cesar Chavez Street, checking into this design-focused boutique hotel feels more like getting settled in a room at your friend's dreamy Austin vacation home"
