We stayed at the Hotel San Jose this past Saturday night. We really enjoyed it. From the moment we parked our car, we felt relaxed and ready to enjoy ourselves. The pool / bar area was hopping all afternoon. Our room was great. It was very sparse, with concrete floors and minimalist decorations. There was a flat screen TV, and... more

We loved the Hotel San Jose. It is a minimalist style, with a rocker flare. We stayed in a deluxe and moved to a regular because of our late booking, the only real difference was size. The room was comfortable, with an nice bathroom and a flat screen tv. It was HOT the weekend we were there and the air... more

Fell in love with the ambience immediately. Cool avacado doors, concrete floors, flat screen TV with free DVD and CD rentals which we took full advantage of!! Beautiful courtyard with fish, greenery, and swimming pool...delicous coffee at Jo's in the parking lot. Location is perfect, lounge patio fun, and whole place conveys a sense of cleanliness surrounded with artistic lines... more

We had a great weekend visit to Austin at The San Jose. The location is perfect, in the heart of South Austin. The courtyard is a great place to stop for an afternoon/evening cocktail. The rooms are modern minimalist, sleek and clean design. Staff is helpful and attentive. more

This is THE PLACE TO STAY in Austin! To think I almost didn't stay here based on the reviewer who wrote that he travels a lot and it isn't worth the price, noisy and the staff aren't helpful??? I have no idea where that person was staying, but trust me folks, it wasn't here! Changing my reservation away from the... more

Overpriced, over-hyped and now over it. You will read a number of positive reviews about HSJ, and it is indeed a cool, funky minimalist place. Here's the bad news: front desk staff with lots of attitude but not much helpfulness; loud patio party (sponsored by the hotel) until midnight; guests naked (and busy!) in the pool at 3 a.m. (staff... more

This is by far the most dog-friendly hotel (and town) I've seen. Almost every person stopped to greet my dog and everyone seemed to carry dog treats around with them! If you have a "furry kid" that likes to travel, don't leave them at home when you're visitng the San Jose. The hotel is unique in a lot of ways,... more

The city of Austin's motto is 'keep Austin weird' so the San Jose fits into this! While its a little younger and funkier than I usually like, I have to say the place really grew on me by the time I left! First a few negatives -- its pretty loud. It located on a busy street and if your room... more

This is Austin. Cool ivy covered walls, comfy bed, ipod charger, across the street from the famed Continental Club. Quiet-full of character-great price. Bar on premises-hello? book this! more
