What guests think

At The Gunter Hotel San Antonio Riverwalk, travelers consistently praise the central, walkable location and welcoming staff, alongside the historic lobby and bar, while recurring downsides include small or dated rooms, occasional noise, and costly, sometimes inconvenient parking.

Room comfort varies, with reports of loud or ineffective A/C, inconsistent hot water, and layout quirks, though some rooms are spacious and quiet. Facilities are mixed, with repeated mentions of pool closures or renovation disruptions and occasional elevator or ice-machine issues. Cleanliness feedback ranges from very tidy rooms to reports of dust, musty odors, or poorly cleaned bathrooms, and breakfast/service quality is inconsistent and sometimes pricey. Expect a charming, central stay best for travelers who value history over modern polish.

Last minute trip with friends. The hotel is not bad we like the look and layout and the old touches that it has. The beds were uncomfortable. The room was muggy. The pool was under construction which was a big disappointment this should have been a flag when booking.

I did not like the fact that they had no parking available for guests of the hotel. It was full of people attending an event. I had a reservation but I had to drive to another parking garage several hundred yards away, which may not sound like a big deal but I am handicapped and have a hard time walking that distance. I will not stay at this hotel again.

Stayed at the Gunter for one night, there is no on site parking except for a valet service they offer for $50. Otherwise you must find your own parking. My room was out of conditioner and had very little shampoo. Staff was friendly. Had breakfast at the restaurant downstairs manager seemed overwhelmed but waiter was nice. Overal 3-4 stars.

No compensation for there being no available pool. Valet parking was expensive. My car got damaged while under valet responsibility. The hallways in the hotel did not smell good at all. Sort of a urine smell? But it also smelled like urine while walking outside the building too. No sign of housekeeping except at 8am while I was still sleeping. For the price of this hotel, they could’ve done better for sure.

It went smoothly. Everything was great, only a couple of things reduced the rating from top rating, including the ice machine being broken on our floor, as well as the soda machine which should be capable of credit card transactions having the card reader broken. Room was clean and as advertised. The restaurant bar closes very early, which is a bummer, but they do have a speakeasy but there was a musical act in there that was very loud and not the best, so we avoided the speakeasy.

The lobby and entrance looked great. But everything else about the hotel is out dated like elevator and rooms. The bedding in the room was clean and great. The bathroom was dirty with lime and calcium build up everywhere. The bathtub had rust stains all over and the shower head had a leak they sprayed the entire room. Honestly the best part of the room was only the bed.

The lobby was gorgeous nice & clean but the rooms need to be all upgraded. The website should state that there wasn't a pool available. I will never be back to The Gunter!

We had a late check in and all hotel parking was taken by non hotel guests so we had to park at a nearby garage, pay $25 for overnight parking and haul our luggage down flights of stairs and through downtown. Not a great start. It’s an older historical hotel so keep that in mind. Not a very clean room. Left hand prints on mirrors, room smelled like dirty water, empty shower amenities and no towels for two people. Pros: Staff was nice and there’s a bar with live music and a restaurant inside hotel.

Beautifully restored historic hotel. Within easy walking distance to Alamo and Riverwalk, many eateries to select from within a short distance. Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Drawbacks: hot water took 5-10 minutes to reach the 10th floor, noisy (adjoining rooms, above/below our floor). Elevators - 1 "beeped" continuously (as if there were an error) and another the doors rubbed excessively opening and closing (always a concern that the next trip up/down, they may not open completely).

The elevators are really fast, I didn’t wait any longer than 10 seconds every time I used the elevators. The hotel location was in a great spot and I enjoyed my stay.

Valet was very friendly, on the expensive side, $50 a night, but our vehicle was safer. Front desk staff was very friendly, patient and accommodating. The room was clean, a little dusty. The soap dispenser at the sink was not working. The the closet was very tiny, only about a foot deep. We were on the 4th floor and could hear the street noise but the bed was very comfy. Proximity to the Riverwalk was perfect. Would probably stay again.

The hotel feels like you stepped back to the mid-1950 with a modern feel. Rooms are great large with beautiful windows. The front desk were helpful with directions and even advice on great food locations near by. Overall deserves a 5 star hotel.

Gunther hotel First off let me state we are Marriott Bonvoy members that happened to book via expedia. It would appear that you do get lesser service from booking via Expedia. At check in they were nice, but spoke as little as possible. I gave them my Bonvoy number , but didn’t know if we would get credit since we booked via Expedia. They mentioned Expedia several times actually. I guess that is a bad thing? Elevators are missing panels on some of lights and controls. One screeches, loudly. Bar 414 wan’t quite ready for business at 5pm. They were still trying to get their garnishes. Espresso machine was down and beer taps broken. But they were friendly and trying hard at the bar. Next day made mistake of sleeping in after seeing a show at the Majestic Theater and we called to see if we could get a late checkout. They said no, I had to ask if they could hold luggage at bell desk. Decided to just do the hotel restaurant for breakfast called Market on Houston at 11 am. We were told the kitchen was closed. Hours on door clearly indicate they were open. Overall this is about what I would expect from a 2 star highway frontage road establishment and not a historic downtown hotel. Just go somewhere else. You will have a better stay.

After taking 40 minutes to check in my husband and I were going to try and grab a drink from the bar while we waited in line. It was closed. We were not given any apology or explanation as to why the check in process was such a nightmare. At Check out it was the same story. Long lines only to be told we were good to go. Overall very frustrating. The facility was clean and the location was very convenient.
