Sewage Backup in Room - Avoid
Pros:

Our overall experience was quite disappointing, with a combination of room issues and some service issues marring our stay.

In the early morning we started to notice the smell of sewage back up into our bathroom and attempted to flag this to the front desk. We had to call housekeeping ~3x, and the front desk ~3x before anyone picked up the phone to address the concern.

To the hotel’s credit, they promptly sent an “engineer” who simply flushed our toilet and said “this should get better” and left. After arriving back from daily activities before dinner we saw human waste and toilet paper backed up into our toilet, which made the whole room reek.

After going down to the front desk in person they were apologetic and helpful. Ultimately we were moved into the same style of room that didn’t pose an immediate health hazard. That said there was no additional effort to make things right. After providing feedback to the hotel (which the hotel proactively asked for) they again said sorry and continued to make no effort to rectify an egregious issue. They simply hoped they could welcome me back soon for a more seamless stay. At a hotel that routinely charges upwards of $500/night (before fees) I was fairly surprised by this, and I don’t think I’ll take them up on their offer.

Overall, I can’t say that I’d recommend the hotel to anyone visiting the city.

Property is nice but service can be poor
Pros:

Rooms and amenities are great. But WiFi is chronically spotty, valet is often overwhelmed, and room service can take 2 hours on a busy night.

Always great!
Pros:

Thompson Austin never disappoints! This was my second stay here and Nick at the front desk upgraded my room which was spacious and clean. Housekeeping and the amenities were amazing! The staff was always helpful and attentive. The pool was very small, some place to hang out vs doing any swimming. The only improvement I can recommend is to screen guests a bit better, for some reason the guest next to my room was drilling into the wall (yes, the guest, not someone from the hotel). I asked the front desk about it and they immediately resolved but it was just a very odd experience. The Thompson will be my go to for any stay in Austin, well done guys!

Overpriced and over hyped.
Pros:

Would not recommend this facility for a function. They are very difficult to work with and nickel and dime. Gratuities and service charge on room rental. Tea is additional and not included in cofffee service. Be sure to ask for water for your event. Really?

Magic place for couples in Austin, TX
Pros:

The location is great, it's only a couple of yards from 6th Street. The atmosphere is amazing, it was a great restaurant and bar on the 4th floor. The Rooms are modern and minimalistic, with a bathroom and bedroom incorporated. The value was on the top, I spent less than I expected for 5 days. The cleanliness was perfect. The noise is something that you can expect if you are in the noisiest streets in Austin. The service was sensational, I went in a motorcycle, and they gave me a place to park. They gave us water at the front desk. Details create magic moments. Thank you.

Best thing about this hotel is valet Marquis!
Pros:

This is specifically about the valet Marquis! What a friendly guy and super helpful with great local tips - practically a concierge :) our stay at the hotel was not memorable but we had to make sure Marquis was duly recognized as we’re yet to see such a great valet person. Thank you Marquis! Franklyn’s bbq was the best :)

The real reason I come back
Pros:

Just want to give a shout out to the valet team, especially Nicolas, who has greeted me each time as a friend. His professionalism combined with warmth and sincerity has been a big factor in my choice to return to the Thompson again and again.

The whole is great, just wanted to spotlight Nicolas.

Looking forward to my next visit,

Engaged experiences
Pros:

The people who work at a hoitel make the experience cool. They are eager to help resolve , friendly, good at their jobs and project an air of friendluness that is as close to authentix c as you can get. I wish there were a little more variety in the hotel restaurants .....but it seems Austin is more a place to be out and about in a fun world of engaged experiences. So....

Fun, Hip, Luxury Hotel in Austin
Pros:

The Thompson in Austin was amazing! From the moment we arrived, the valet and bellman promptly greeted us and assisted with our bags. The front desk staff, room service, and restaurant team were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. Every need was anticipated before we even had to ask. Our room was spotless and offered a fantastic view of downtown. We also loved relaxing with margaritas at Arriba, where the guacamole was absolutely delicious.

Thompson Austin – A Stay Worth Repeating
Pros:

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the Thompson Austin. The hotel is beautiful, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. I was there on business, and the hotel’s catering for our event was fantastic.

The only minor issue was that I could occasionally hear guests in the room above me dropping things and talking loudly enough that it sounded like they were in my room.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would happily stay there again.
