The location is good (be warned its hard to access the hotel by car as there is a fair bit of construction going on). Rooms are good sized with updated bathroom but the living area is dated/carpet is old. No coffee makers in the room. No chair for the desk (why even have a desk at that point?).

Rooms are good sized with updated bathroom but the living area is dated/carpet is old. No coffee makers in the room. No chair for the desk (why even have a desk at that point?). Main complaint is a room on the fifth floor (maybe 523?) had toilet issues that leaked into the hallway, stinking up the place. No offer to move any of us in rooms nearby, just ran a fan all day/night to dry up the toilet water in the hall. Read less

In Austin for business. Hotel well situated but a lot of construction nearby. Hotel definitely has “hipster” vibe. Rooms were comfortable, clean. Bar and outside pool area (did not use pool) were nice. This hotel is a good choice but a lot of “similar” hotels in vicinity.

Jun 16, 2023 MichaelAusTX Austin, Texas

The Hotel Van Zandt Pool Pass is a great DayCation by the pool. The beautiful surroundings of the hotel, Geraldine's, and the skyline views from the Pool make it a fun day... The poolside drinks and food are tasty and casual. The service is impeccable from the moment you walk in the door till the time you leave...

This property was amazing and while a little higher priced, it is for reason. Immaculate grounds. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Amazing amenities. And LOCATION! Not even a block to Rainey street which is absolutely a unique area you have to visit! We can’t wait to go back!!!

Had a wonderful time staying at the hotel Van Zandt. We had two very spacious rooms which included a mini fridge and a safe. One room had a nice view of the pool which was great to cool off in on a hot June day. All the staff at the hotel were exceptional, and always went above and beyond. Everyday there was a different flavoured water available which was needed during the heat. It is close to Rainey Street, but far enough away. Free bike rentals to tour around. If you are unsure of what to do or where to go, ask their fantastic concierge Haley! Read less
