Staying at the Van Zandt is a stylish and chic experience
Pros:

Providing beverage chips for guest to have a free coffee or adult beverage at the bar is a great added value. Having steamers instead of irons is also a plus.
The mid century decor is very stylish and elegant.

Cons:

The in room coffee maker !

Loved our stay
Pros:

While my husband is not a fan of how busy Austin is, staying at the Hotel Van Zandt totally changed his mind! Every encounter with staff was wonderful, they are all so friendly, professional and helpful. Shan at the front desk was just the sweetest!! We brought our pups with us and they were treated so sweetly, with a dog bed and bowls already set up in our room upon arrival. The hotel is gorgeous with a wonderful rock and roll vibe and you can literally walk anywhere in the area and find great food, drinks or something to do. It really is an awesome area. We will for sure stay here again!

Great location, comfy, good wifi, coffee, decor, and super friendly staff - we will be back!
Pros:

We loved our stay at hotel van zandt and will stay here again next time we are in Austin. The hotel staff are all incredibly kind and attentive. The room was spacious and comfortable. Location was perfect for walking around downtown and along the river walk. Cute decor! Zero noise from the downtown construction during our stay. One more mention for the staff - major props for being so nice, thank you!

Cons:

I should have brought my dog. Next time I will :) !

Not worth the money
Pros:

Not very impressed, expensive hotel without getting value for money.
No breakfast served, they redirected us into a cafe with the longest line ever, took forever to get your food and you had to pay for it.
I forgot my expensive headphones but they were not willing to send them back to me, they redirected me to a site that wanted me to pay twice the value of the headphones to get the shipped.
I would NEVER pay the same amount to stay in this hotel.

We had a great time, loved coming back. We came back after almost 10 years and the Van Zandt did not disappoint
Pros:

The location is great, restaurants and amenities are fantastic. Staff is very friendly.

Cons:

A 70 dollar mandatory overnight valet fee seems high. Especially as self parking is not available and with two small kids, remote parking was not an option.

Could have been a great trip.
Pros:

Don’t judge a book by its cover, rooms are small for what you pay. As someone else stated your reservation could be changed without your permission or input. For the size of the room they have a lot of stuff sitting around. Such as all the stuff they try to sell. You can get bottle water at the pool, front desk, but the water next to the coffee maker the charge $5 a bottle. If you like the humm of the elevator stay in the room I stayed in. Perking is secure but expensive.. beware if you pay for eairly checkin it does not guarantee you will get in before 4p.

Buyer Beware!!!
Pros:

I really wanted to like this place! The location is perfect for visiting the southern part of Austin. However, be aware that your reservations don’t mean a thing if they get a bigger fish hooked during your reservation dates! No pool. No live music. No sit down breakfast. No in-house dinner options.

And No Warning!! Everything cancelled at the last minute.

Consider yourself warned

Scavenger Hunt Valet Team Review
Pros:

The van zandt valet team was such a vibe. Our friends had a scavenger hunt where we had to complete a bunch of tasks in Austin and Jonathan was so fun! It was great seeing him and his team be so helpful to our silly tasks

Hotel prioritizes private events over regular guests.
Pros:

The pool looked nice, but wasn’t available to guests. Same with the restaurant.

Cons:

Pool was closed; restaurant was closed for multiple days. Sold off to private events they don’t tell you about in advance. Beware. You might not get what’s advertised. Room decor is tired and dark.
