What guests think

Thompson Austin, by Hyatt draws praise for its stylish, modern feel, friendly staff, and central location near Sixth Street, with many guests enjoying the rooftop pool, lively bars, and a strong gym that enhances downtime between outings.

Rooms are visually appealing and comfortable, but several reviews cite functional quirks like limited outlets or lighting, thin walls, AC control issues, and occasional low water pressure or Wi-Fi problems. Cleanliness and housekeeping are frequently praised, though a few guests noted maintenance glitches or missed cleaning. The downtown setting is walkable yet can feel gritty with visible homelessness, and parking or valet can be pricey or hard to access during street closures. Expect an amenity-forward, centrally based stay that suits travelers who prioritize vibe and location.

Nice large room with comfortable beds. Beautiful pool on 4th floor with great loungers and pool service. Only complaint is that there isn’t enough light in the room, especially at nice. Fun vibe!

Great place to stay if visiting Austin. Bar and pool area are really nice. There is no water pressure in the shower - that would be my only down mark!

The Thompson Hotel is a nice property. I did not get to enjoy the pool, but if I ever stay here again I hope I do. The food at the restaurant although over priced is very good. There are two cons I will address: 1. The toilets in the Thompson hotel, at least in my room, are black. This is an issue because it never seems like the toilet is clean which is off putting. 2. Valet is $50 per day, which is outrageous. Best to park around the corner pay the $25 and just Uber if you need to leave. Despite these things, nice hotel

Loved the vibe of this hotel. I used the gym which was one of the best I’ve seen in a hotel. Also the rooftop pool was long enough to do laps, enjoy the water during the summer heat and lounge at the cabana. Harry was very accommodating in showing me the amenities and a room because I was fleeing from a less desirable boutique hotel on S Congress. The move made my trip so much more enjoyable.

Really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The only thing I'd bring up is that a few other co-workers and me were charged for valet fees for multiple nights during our stay even though we didn't have cars for this visit. The desk staff were very accomodating and removed the charges from our folio, but there does appear to be some problem with how valet charges are handled. Would suggest looking into improving that. Otherwise, it was a great stay - Thank you!

The Thompson Hotel in Austin, Texas, offers a luxurious and stylish experience that embodies the vibrant energy of the city. The hotel’s chic design, blending modern elegance with local flair, creates an inviting atmosphere from the moment you step inside. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, going out of their way to ensure guests feel welcome and well taken care of. One of the standout features is the fantastic housekeeping service, which keeps the rooms impeccably clean thoughtfully arranged. Please take time to visit the rooftop bar, a favourite spot during our time at the hotel.

Several issues impacted our stay. The cabinet in the room was broken, the shower water never got hot, and the mirror light didn’t work. On top of that, the fire alarm went off during a thunderstorm, which was very disruptive.

Stayed here one night with our son and it’s literally one block away from crazy 6th street. We came back to our room later at night and we drove around for almost 30 mins trying to find a way to get to the hotel because the streets are blocked. Once we arrived there were drunk people and homeless everywhere. Our room towels had hair on them and I don’t believe they vacuum the carpet because there was hair and dirt all over our socks. Valet is $62 a night. Also our room had a fire alarm flashing light that would blink all night. Other than that, staff was friendly at check in.

Gorgeous design, but lacking in basic functional things like outlets (1 in the room!), bedside tables, towel hooks (1!), wash rags… Really beautiful but it should be a requirement that new designs are tried out before the remodeling occurs. Beautiful lobby, very nice staff.

Poorly designed room. In the shower, the water controls and the soaps/shampoo are on the far side of the shower. So you have to step out of the flow of water to get at them. There is no door on the toilet area (meaning less privacy). And the large barn door going into the bathroom slowly slides open if you don’t lock it (which then locks out your partner if you’re in the shower, etc). And eventually derailed itself and could not be moved. All of the room lights (two on the bed, two nest to the bed) each have to be turned on and off separately. There are no central wall switches. The carpet was a little ragged on one side. And the walls in the elevator a little chipped. It’s very noisy in public areas of hotel. Too large and too loud for me. And the neighborhood is downtown in “party central”. I would not go back.

The hotel has a cool vibe and the rooftop pool is amazing, but there were a couple big misses for me. The air unit in the room would not go below 68 degrees and the bed did not have a top sheet under the duvet. The duvet was too warm for the room at that temp so sleeping was not comfortable at all. The Thompson has been on my ATX to do list and fell short of my expectations for a 4 star hotel. The pool experience was great though so I would for sure do a day pass to enjoy it again.

Overall a good stay. The gym is great!! Location is fun. We had an issue with housekeeping not making up our room one day. We called to request a room refresh when we knew we’d be out for a few hours and no one ever showed. When we called to the front desk a few hours later to ask for more towels, as we needed to shower before leaving for the evening, and asked if housekeeping would be coming that day, the staff was condescending and belittling asking if we really needed someone to “come make the bed”. For the price daily housekeeping should be included and not an “inconvenience” for their staff.

Located right in the heart of downtown Austin. Round the corner of 6th Street. The room was extremely clean with a modern vibe. The bathroom had a relaxing atmosphere with the aromas and body/hair products. Vally parking was a must during our stay. Pro tip: Hit the Cantina on the fourth floor. The drinks, atmosphere, and music pull you to enjoy your stay.
