About this business
History Established in 2000. A hotel for friends from near and far in Austin, Texas. Built in 1936 as an "ultramodern" motor court, the property has been transformed into a 40 room urban bungalow-style hotel tucked behind stucco walls and set amidst lush garden courtyards. The San Jose is located on South Congress Avenue, a few blocks from downtown and Lady Bird Johnson Lake in the heart of one of Austin's favorite neighborhoods. In addition to being a unique place to sleep, the Hotel San Jose serves as a gathering place and... read more

Beautiful place, great service, great food, chill atmosphere! – kcf78749's lack of insight and her date's poor manners, coupled with only a patio visit, are no reason to give anything (not to mention such a marvelous place) 3 stars. Obviously, someone can read her review and see she is an airhead, but it affects the star rating outside the review. What a dummy! It's a four-star (perhaps 4.5 star) place. So, I'll balance out her childish stupidity with 5 of my own.
great outdoor patio area – I've never actually stayed at this hotel, so I can't comment on the hotel aspect of it, but it's a great place for a first date. My date and I had some wine out on the patio, by the pool, and it was lovely. However, once I "broke the seal", so to speak, I ventured inside to use the ladies' room. One problem--the restrooms were not labeled at all. My date pointed at a glass door that he had just come out of and said, "I think that's a unisex bathroom?". I went in, although I was a bit leery because ... read more
Fun place to meet friends after work – I met friends there after work and had a great time. It's a great space and vibe. People can keep coming and going and the staff is completely accommodating. We spent the greater part of the evening there and would definitely return.
Not a rating - just an observation – When I saw the overall rating on this hotel, I got excited. Then, I read the reviews. They're pretty overwhelmingly weighted toward the staff being terribly rude. The high ratings mostly refer to the ambiance of the place - not the people. MOST IMPORTANTLY: When I average the user ratings - I get an overall rating of 3.2 - a far cry from the near-5 rating displayed. BEWARE: READ THE REVIEWS
Shady cancellation policies and lack of altruism – On this particular day, several large conventions were being held in the downtown Austin area so there were no rooms available, not even as far out as the airport. The gal who took my call, offered me a room that had just become available due to a cancellation. The price was an outrageous $290 for the evening but having called at least 25 different hotels during the past 2 days, I knew it was either this or nothing. I wasn?t given much of a choice either?she wouldn?t so much... read more
Enjoyable, cool Hotel in Austin – While in Austin I stayed several nights at Hotel San Jose. I loved it...the cool, clean, comfortable rooms were just what I was looking for. It's a very unique...amazingly decorated and pristine landscaping. The staff was attentive, friendly and informative about Austin attractions. The lounge and courtyard open up in the evenings for beer and wine and is a great space to relax by the pool or listen to music. The have a coffee bar in the lounge with newspapers/books along with cool adjacent ... read more
worst place ever – What a racket! This place has hip rooms and cool design--and charges every dollar they can for it--but the staff, simply put, s*cks. Basic requests (directions, an iron, recommendations) were met with eye rolls and lackluster answers from too-cool-for-school hipsters--and that is when you can get them to get off the phone--talking with their friends, not helping other customers. The rooms cost FAR too much to be treated so poorly. Plus the walls are really thin and the sliding bathroom doors are really LOU... read more
A funky South Congress hotel that attracts musicians and savvy tourists with its authentic Austin style. – In Short When the San Jose Hotel was built in 1936, the look was described as "ultramodern." Today, it's every bit as cool and colorful as the guests who check in. Musicians are the norm, as are visitors who want the true Austin experience. The 40 rooms and suites are stylish and comfortable. Gravel pathways and a courtyard complete the scene. Other amenities include a small pool, high-speed Internet access, on-call mas... read more
Avoid for Wedding Night or other Special Occasions – Brides beware: My husband and I chose the San Jose Hotel for our wedding night. We booked a courtyard suite for two nights (a $600+value). Including out of town guests for our wedding, we occupied 7 rooms valued over $3000. We were treated like anything but valued customers. The management was rude and hard to work with. They made having bridal portraits in their courtyard unbearable. We had to comply with their strict guidelines of where we could go, how much time to take... read more
