Across reviews, Fairmount Hotel is praised as a charming, historic boutique stay with stylish rooms and friendly staff, in a walkable location near the River Walk and downtown sights, though ongoing street construction frequently affects access and creates noise.
Guests like the rooftop bar and on-site restaurants, with several noting great drinks and meals. Other downsides include dated or hard-to-control air conditioning, occasional hot-water or housekeeping issues, and uneven valet or bar service. Overall, expect a characterful boutique stay with convenient access and memorable dining, alongside some operational quirks.

It’s a great place to stay. The onsite restaurants are amazing. Brandon the manager of the restaurants made sure our dining experience was amazing each evening. The wild boar pasta at Nonna is a must. The second floor is kind of weird if you are older or immobile because you have to go up and down stairs with your baggage. There are some nice open balconies with panoramic views of downtown. Parking is easy. Only 2 drawbacks are construction on the outside streets starts at 8 AM. Also no workout facilities but easy running trails on the river are wide open and enjoyable. The hotel and the rooms are so nice. A total steal of a deal.

Beautiful hotel room and property. Walkable park and dining adjacent a plus. Didnt know about the road construction adjacent. Didnt know the roof terrace was closed/by reservation only. Front desk is friendly but overworked. No valet, no other staff apparent.

A little difficult to get to because of construction going on, not the hotel’s fault. Easy access to the river walk. Hotel was nice, room 203 was quiet. Rooftop bar was great.

We loved staying at the Fairmount to celebrate our anniversary. It’s a small boutique hotel with tons of charm… and we loved the rooftop bar. Both the bar and our room had unobstructed views of the tower and downtown. It was also very convenient to everything on the Riverwalk… all easy to walk. We will definitely be back!!!

Very comfortable. I liked that there was a couch so I could watch television and eat the desert that I was allowed to eat in my room. I asked for a bandaid because I wore the wrong shoes and they had them! As a single woman traveling I could stay in the hotel as there was a bar and two restaurants.

I didn’t like that there was no continental breakfast, you had to pay for valet parking, there is no pool, the shower only has half a wall, you can not use the sink if someone is in the bathroom taking a shower if you travel with someone that is not a romantic relationship, the living room is not set up facing the tv, the bathroom is in a closet, and our door was breaking, and hard to get into twice. Overall the people were nice, and the beds were cozy. We had asked about the $50 voucher for the restaurant deck and they said it was no longer happening. Brandon told us he would make sure to put a menu in our room when we asked, and I had asked about having dessert and coffee up on the upper deck. He said he is sure they could work something out, but he never let us know.

Hotel desk and bar staff were friendly. Not hotel fault, but surrounding area had major construction going on, not too much noise, but certainly not attractive. Room was dirty. Stuff on the floor, hair, a button, hair, bobby pin, hair band, coffee pod still in maker and used pod in new coffee rack, half bag of chips in dresser. When I stepped in shower I noticed half used soap bar and empty liquid soap. Stepped out to get soap from vanity and left nasty, wet, dirty footprint on shower mat. Shower floor was filthy. Spent a few minutes hosing it with shower wand. Then the best part, swung the bathroom door to look for a towel hook and was rewarded with a pair of panties on the door handle (well used). Assume housekeeping had a bad day or didn’t show up. One or two of those things I’d ignore, in total, worthy of a bad review.

Location was great. Bed and shower were fantastic. Room itself was just fine. Check in experience was odd. Lobby was often left unstaffed. Floors in the lobby were filthy - probably because of construction outside, but was noticeably dirty. Hotel feels a bit tired. Lobby is in need of a deep clean and should be revisited to be more welcoming. What even is that dead area to the left of entry?

I stayed 5 nights. Staff could make guests feel more welcomed. Only a couple of the staff acknowledged and smiled at you when walking in the door. Almost every day there was something missed by housekeeping like leaving wash cloths, or replacing Kleenex. Other than that the room was clean. Bed was very comfortable! And nice large rooms.

As a boutique hotel the rooms were the kind of style I like. High end bathroom which I really enjoyed. Stylishly decorated. Comfortable and good looking bed. Things to know in advance: The room I was in had no desk or space for one. This is a converted historical building so the room I was in did not have space to work. Parking charges were extra. When I stayed, there was significant roadworks directly outside the property which made getting there by car at night very difficult. I wish I had been notified in advance about this. I came back to the hotel late twice and there was no one there to assist me with the mandatory valet parking. The location is great for walking downtown and the riverwalk. I did not get a chance to try the rooftop bar or restaurants but other locals told me they were good. Overall, would I stay there again? Probably. Would I check out alternatives to staying there again before signing up? Probably I would. There are lots of hotels in this area of town so I suggest you shop around. Overall, I am happy with my stay there but I would likely look for an alternative next time.

I was in for a convention. The Hotel was a 5 minute walk to the Convention Center (back entrance), about 7 minutes to front entrance. So, extremely convenient. 5 minutes from the RiverWalk. The room was large and comfortable. Only issue is no actual desk to work at, but did have a very nice large comfy chair with little table next to it to set my laptop on if needed. Great refrigerator, too. Nice bathroom. Staff was OUTSTANDING! Loved the bar that greets you as you walk in. Also has a really nice rooftop bar as well. Easy Valet service and reasonably priced. All around gem of a hotel!!!

This was our second stay with the hotel and we really like the location, the style of the hotel and the atmosphere. We would definitely stay again. The only issue is it can get a little warm in the rooms as there are no ceiling fans, and although the air comes on and off quite often, it doesn’t cool the room down as much as it should.

Every year, we make a trip to San Antonio to celebrate Día de los Muertos, and without fail, the Fairmount Hotel makes it a truly unforgettable experience. This year, Sarah went above and beyond, making us feel like family. She checked in on us multiple times, ensuring we had everything we needed and more. Her kindness and attention to detail were truly appreciated. The bartender (I wish I could remember her name!) was also wonderful—she took such great care of us and even made sure we had a cozy spot by the bar as we enjoyed a delicious meal from Nonna. The service was impeccable, and we felt so welcomed and pampered throughout our stay. The Fairmount Hotel continues to be our home away from home, and we’ll be returning year after year. Room 312 was just perfect, with beautiful views and all the little touches that make it special. Thank you to the entire team at the Fairmount for another amazing weekend. We highly recommend this beautiful hotel!

The staff at this hotel made it great! I will say the location is a bit misleading on a map. The Riverwalk starts across the street, so the Fairmount isn't ON the Riverwalk. But it is very close. I highly recommend eating at the Italian restaurant on the 1st floor. The food & service were exceptional!

Every year, we make a trip to San Antonio to celebrate Día de los Muertos, and without fail, the Fairmount Hotel makes it a truly unforgettable experience. This year, Sarah went above and beyond, making us feel like family. She checked in on us multiple times, ensuring we had everything we needed and more. Her kindness and attention to detail were truly appreciated. The bartender (I wish I could remember her name!) was also wonderful—she took such great care of us and even made sure we had a cozy spot by the bar as we enjoyed a delicious meal from Nonna. The service was impeccable, and we felt so welcomed and pampered throughout our stay. The Fairmount Hotel continues to be our home away from home, and we’ll be returning year after year. Room 312 was just perfect, with beautiful views and all the little touches that make it special. Thank you to the entire team at the Fairmount for another amazing weekend.

Location was great. Bed and shower were fantastic. Room itself was just fine. Check in experience was odd. Lobby was often left unstaffed. Floors in the lobby were filthy - probably because of construction outside, but was noticeably dirty. Hotel feels a bit tired. Lobby is in need of a deep clean and should be revisited to be more welcoming. What even is that dead area to the left of entry?

Location
Walkable location close to the River Walk, La Villita, the convention center, and downtown sights; one review notes it is near rather than directly on the River Walk. Area construction can make access and navigation tricky.

I liked that the hotel was small and personal and it being vintage. The hotel was close to restuarants & bars. I didn't like the construction around the hotel, hard to get in and out from the parking lot.

I was in for a convention. The Hotel was a 5 minute walk to the Convention Center (back entrance), about 7 minutes to front entrance. So, extremely convenient. 5 minutes from the RiverWalk. The room was large and comfortable. Only issue is no actual desk to work at, but did have a very nice large comfy chair with little table next to it to set my laptop on if needed. Great refrigerator, too. Nice bathroom. Staff was OUTSTANDING! Loved the bar that greets you as you walk in. Also has a really nice rooftop bar as well. Easy Valet service and reasonably priced. All around gem of a hotel!!!

It’s a great place to stay. The onsite restaurants are amazing. Brandon the manager of the restaurants made sure our dining experience was amazing each evening. The wild boar pasta at Nonna is a must. The second floor is kind of weird if you are older or immobile because you have to go up and down stairs with your baggage. There are some nice open balconies with panoramic views of downtown. Parking is easy. Only 2 drawbacks are construction on the outside streets starts at 8 AM. Also no workout facilities but easy running trails on the river are wide open and enjoyable. The hotel and the rooms are so nice. A total steal of a deal.

I recently stayed at this property and found it to be a disappointment. Having stayed at Fairmont properties before, I had high expectations, but this location did not match the standards set by others. To start, there was construction in front of the hotel, which was not ideal given the premium price we paid for our stay. The lack of a traditional reception desk was also off-putting; instead, check-in was conducted at a podium with the receptionist using computers off to the side. The building itself is old, and some areas clearly need improvement, such as the floor of the elevator. The patio behind the bar on the first floor, while nice, could benefit from better patio furniture to make it more inviting. Our experience at the rooftop bar was particularly frustrating. The staff took forever to take our order, which dampened our enjoyment. At check-out, we decided to have a cup of coffee at the bar while waiting to leave, only to find out the coffee machine was broken. The server mentioned it had been out of order for a week with no clear timeline for when it would be fixed. In summary, while this property is small and historic, it lacks the luxury and attention to detail I have come to expect from Fairmont. Unfortunately, I will not be staying here again.

Loved this hotel and absolutely recommend it. There is a ton of construction outside that detracts from its location, but that is the only drawback. It is convenient to the conference center and everything about it is top notch, from the toiletries, a deep bath, tons of hot water, gorgeous bedding, comfortable bed and speedy WIFI. The staff were very kind and helpful and gave me a very late checkout as I had an early evening flight. The restaurant was excellent too, I had lunch on the last afternoon and wish I had known it was so good as I probably would have had at least one dinner there as well.

Very comfortable. I liked that there was a couch so I could watch television and eat the desert that I was allowed to eat in my room. I asked for a bandaid because I wore the wrong shoes and they had them! As a single woman traveling I could stay in the hotel as there was a bar and two restaurants.
