Every single staff was great, helpful and friendly. GM Christian has a great management, you can see everywhere. On top of all request. Josh is the maestro of the hotel with the young man with classes and the two young girls Monica and curly hair one 😊. Every one was excellent. Ricky the receptionist at night are great help and friendly. I like the clean rooms and the facilities. Decoration is fabulous for every corner of the Hotel

I picked the Colton House Hotel in Austin for my concert trip because it's part of Hilton's boutique hotels and super close to the Emo music venue. I was in town for the Foster the People concert at Emo's, and this hotel was the closest one I found. Scored a sweet deal using my Hilton points, and I'm glad I chose this spot. The Colton House has this awesome vibe with beautifully designed spaces that are both stylish and comfy. It's a hit for its location, giving you easy access to the cool spots on South Congress! The amenities are top-notch, and the rooms are spacious and chic, making you feel right at home. I love that the rooms are like mini-apartments with a kitchen and eating area—super cute!
The coffee bar and outdoor patio had such a cool vibe. In the morning, there's a food truck that serves breakfast, and since I'm a Hilton Honors Diamond, I was given a $15 restaurant credit by the front desk staff. What a nice perk! The Simona's cafe and cocktail bar had great service, and the entire hotel is decorated beautifully from top to bottom. The outdoor seating and coffee cocktail bar area are quaint and cozy. The rooms are well-appointed with a fridge, wine opener, basic dishes, and a full-size sink. The AC was super cold, and each room has its own thermostat.
The custom artwork throughout the hotel adds to its unique charm. The staff was super friendly and professional especially Brandon and Rebecca at the front desk! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

The Colton House is a tucked away quiet oasis perfectly located in Austin. The hotel is so beautiful decorated. Each room, hallway, and even bathroom are all thoughtfully curators and visually appealing. The last two times I visited, it has been during the week and I really enjoy the quiet. The rooms are cozy and the beds make for a perfectly restful night of sleep.

Service to the room started out great. Then after three days dropped off and by the 6 th day they didn’t even stop at our room to give towels or empty trash. No restaurant so had to leave every night to eat. Breakfast is only out of a food truck and it wasn’t all that good. Expensive for what you get and rarely got order right. Rooms were great. Two bed two bath was just what we needed and besides the service was a great room. One weird thing is front desk controls your air conditioning and if you want ice you have to go to the front desk. They monitor that too.

This place has the kitchen and extra space of an AirBNB plus daily housekeeping, a fantastic health club (not those pitiful excuses for one in the major chains), great hangout spaces for quiet and a separate space with music (sometimes live) and a great bar. We were here for 5 nights. The location is convenient, parking underneath is easy, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time.

On first impression this is an A++ and for some it still will be. The decor is so delightfully original. You walk in and are wishing you had planned a longer stay. The leather couch in front of the large screen TV, quaint table for four tucked away in a corner, open closet system inviting your luggage to stay a while, great linens including a wrap tossed on the couch should you need comfort. Everything was crisp and clean. The millennials who checked in with us seemed to agree. The parking garage has a handicapped spot 8 steps from the elevator! The key to your room also activates the elevator. My husband is very picky about toilet paper and this room failed the soft paper test however the paper might be earth friendly. The mattress is fine. It is not great but you will sleep well. The thermostat is adjustable, and room was warm enough on demand. A nice feature. The Bathroom was exceptional! The shower is the best I have ever seen in a Hotel, a full glassed in with accessories such as shampoo and soap in dispensers at convenient height. The lady who tends the bar downstairs is a delight. She provided us with a cup of milk and a small oj no charge. That being said The Local outside provides the best yummy food but only three days a week! Be sure to try it and you will be begging for more of course you're in Austin! There is no dishwasher with the kitchenette but we were good with that. We will be going back, it was that good!

Wow!!! I’ve literally never stayed in a hotel as amazing. It felt like I had a full suite even though I had a double. It came with a couch, kitchen, washer/dryer and coffee maker with full dishes. It was my bday and the front desk as well as the bartenders treated me so great. I will book here as often as possible. I had the best birthday thank you so much!

Our family of 4 recently stayed at the Colton House hotel and can’t stop raving about it. It’s a wonderfully eclectic boutique style hotel that is warm, inviting, and has great amenities. We were pleased with our stay and the great service we received and will come back!
We stayed in the spacious 3 bedroom suite, which was equipped with kitchen, living area, washer/dryer - 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. Each of our teenagers enjoyed having their own room. The beds were super comfortable and the decor made me feel right at home!
Downstairs there is a delightful place called Simona’s - we grabbed our coffee and pastries in the morning and cocktails in the evening. There is ample, comfortable seating inside and outside seating adjacent to a lovely pool area. There was also a food truck permanently stationed outside Simona’s which our teens enjoyed.
We’re hard pressed to provide any constructive feedback of our stay at Colton House. One consideration - The location in SoCo is great (approx 2 mi southwest of downtown) so would definitely recommend renting a car to get around. At times, traffic may be a little noisy so if you’re a light sleeper ask for a room away from the street.

I contacted the Colton House to have my 70th Birthday celebration in June 2023, reserved the 3rd-floor Penthouse Party room, and a room block with several rooms at a great rate for August 24th, 2023. Due to some COVID issues, we had to cancel with short notice so we would not have a superspreader event. Colton House COULD have taken my prepayment and gone on with their business, However, Colton House was very generous and let me reschedule to September 28th, 2023, and applied all my payment to the new date. We just had the party and my wife and I and 10 guests staying overnight. The facilities, everyone on the office team, the event planner, and the bartenders were fabulous! The 70th Birthday was a great success and we felt well cared for in every aspect. Highly recommend Colton House for lodging or events!
