“Historic Hotel”

Hotel was beautiful, staff wasn't very friendly or attentive and the wait staff at the bakery was pretty rude.

“Beautiful hotel!”

The Driskill is a beautiful hotel right in the middle of Austin. Everything is in walking distance -- the capital, the Congress Ave. bridge, shops, music, bars. My room was on the historic side and was perfect -- comfortable, beautiful, and very clean. Room service, desk staff, and others were very accommodating and friendly. If I am in Austin again, I will stay here without thinking twice.

“Very impressed”

One word sums up our stay at The Driskell... perfection. Gorgeous 18th century hotel completely restored to it's original condition. Superb service. Exquisite decor in our room as well as throughout the hotel. Well worth paying a bit more to stay in a place that is a part of history.

“Very nice”

The hotel is beautiful! My only warning is that the term "European bath" in a room means "Extremely small". The staff (especially the valets) were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay there again.
