The Carpenter is a lovely place -- lots of concrete, mattresses low to the ground, hipster vibe with lots of pleasant dogs and coffee. The location is good although I prefer the sister hotel, The San Jose, on South Congress for locale. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Austin and John and the three baristas at the wonderful coffee shop.

This hotel had 5 star service. The staff was on top of every request within moments. We dealt most with Joseph at the front desk. Very friendly Brooklyn guy who made sure everything was good. The style of the hotel is a bit off the wall and fairly typical of Austin: a fusion collision of industrial, Bauhaus, and dorm room, but all appears to be very carefully thought out. I would definitely recommend this place.

Love this hotel the only suggestion is that there is no USB plug-in in the room. Other than that, we love this hotel and we stay here all the time.

The carpenter was a lovely experience as it’s a very unique Concept in a fun city. The Room comes with earplugs as the hotel accommodations are pretty much converted dormitories, but they are styled well and very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was great! I discovered it on Instagram last year and had been waiting for the perfect excuse to stay there. The property and rooms are beautiful. All but ONE staff member was phenomenal. See, I arrived at 9:00 AM and inquired about an early check-in (something their site specifies to do). I explained that I had a change of plans and would have to return to the airport at 2 pm, so I just needed the room to take a few calls. I stated I would obv. pay for the night in full, either way. The lady at the front desk seemed annoyed with me. WELL, CHECK-IN IS AT 4:00PM, she stated. She then told me she would need to charge me a fee (as a deterrent, apparently). I told her that was fine and even suggested paying to upgrade my room if it helped. "Well, I have your number, so I will let you know if anything is ready", she said. I never heard from her. However, I witnessed her checking in at least two other guests just fine. I returned to the desk a short while later when I noticed she stepped away, thinking to myself (this is my chance!). Another agent was able to check me right then. He was polite and genuinely excited about my stay. I did not catch the lady's name, but she worked the morning of 8/20/24. Everyone is entitled to a bad day; I get it. But as the agent, she was my first interaction at the property, setting the tone for my stay. I'm friendly, polite, and soft-spoken. I did not deserve her attitude.

Loved the Carpenter Hotel, and I would definitely stay again! It’s clean, comfortable, funky, and quiet. My only constructive feedback would be to offer some way for early risers to have coffee in their room. The only option I was given was a pour over kit, which was $30 for 2 cups of coffee- no cream, no sugar. It’s not a deal breaker by any means, but it’s a bummer. Despite that, I adored the free glass of sparkling wine, the fun robes to lounge in, the beautiful pool, and the fantastic location.

I had a wonderful stay at the Carpenters Hotel. Even before I stepped foot on the property, the service was phenomenal. Shout out to Joseph for be so helpful. Great food menu, clean rooms. Beautiful/Unique facilities. The elevators smell great. The neighborhood is very walkable and there’s ton of dining in walking distance. Definitely worth the stay!

The hotel is attractive, unique, and a little funky - this is not a large chain hotel! The outdoor spaces are lovely and full of plantings, and our room was incredibly comfortable - great bed and bedding, unusual decor (polished concrete floors). The staff was helpful and accommodating. I loved this place and will go back when we return to Austin.

We absolutely loved this hotel. It’s tied #1 for our long-standing favorite, The Robey, in Chicago. The Carpenter is extremely enchanting and memorable - it’s clean, designed beautifully, offers the perfect pool getaway weekend and has a convenient little coffee shop! We love and can’t wait to visit again.

overall, the hotel is very nice and clean! My partner and I we loved it! we had a great time, we felt safe the whole time. The downton is close to the hotel, everything is nearby. However, the only issue was the parking we paid $73 for 2 nights but they do not give a secure spot. If you go out at night and come back you probably will have to park on the street. even though we paid for parking we were not able to park at the hotel at night.
