Cute hotel super close to downtown

Really cute boutique hotel close to heart of East 6th st. Walkable to alot of places. Very spacious room. Because of its proximity to the bars and restaurants, you can hear the street noise so bring ear plugs. Would stay again! Still worth it despite the noise.

We loved our stay at Hotel Indigo! Jonathan and Andrew at the front desk were both so friendly and helpful, and offered excellent coffee and dining recommendations. The location was great and walkable to lots of dining, shopping, music venues, and other attractions. The room was clean and comfortable--our one complaint was that the shower door did not shut properly, leading to some water spillage in the bathroom. Overall, though, it was a great stay and we'd come again next time we're in Austin!

The staff was great. The first room had a giant water leak in the bathroom after I took a shower. They moved us to another room that had a water leak in the floor that I didn’t notice until my backpack containing all my electronics was soaked. They said they would reimburse me one nights stay and I have yet to see that.

I visit Austin frequently to attend various concerts and events and this was my 4th stay at Hotel Indigo. The staff is always so kind and attentive to my needs. Beyond the staff being amazing, the hotel is clean, comfortable, and has many great amenities. Loging at this hotel is a MUST if you're doing anything in Downtown Austin!!

The property itself and the staff were great. Really cute hotel and eight in the thick of things. Saying that, it’s a bit noisy outside and while it’s next to fun bars and restaurants, it’s also next door to a homeless shelter so juts be alert if you’re out at night.

Pictures are deceiving

Was disappointed with everything the hotel advertised. Happy Hour 4-7 by the pool but the bar was closed. Restaurant was okay nothing major no cocktails offered. Rooms are tiny have a wallpaper slap on. Outdated appliance, no coffee no tea no microwave. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and small and the AC unit kept making a loud noise every time it would turn on or off.
