  They have an amazing location and make the best of it. A small pool, parking garage and some event space all packed into a corner lot next to the University campus. Friendly staff make your stay welcoming, like a visit to a favorite Auntie.

  Such a beautiful place. The room was large and well appointed. Shelby was a delight. Will is a talented barkeep. Sammy works hard and was a comforting presence. This really was a wonderful stay and I'd gladly recommend anyone stay there.

  I've helped to host two large donor events here- a gala and a derby party, held a large personal brunch party, enjoyed drinks with friends, and have directed many out of town guests to stay here. The management team and staff know what they are doing, and the space really shines after the transformation it underwent in renovations a few years back. Definitely a great spot for a nice business meeting, family meet-up, or event.

  There are so many things that I loved about our time at Hotel Ella, originally the historic Goodall Wooten House, built in 1900 but recently updated to a chic, boutique hotel named one of Austin’s best. It was truly charming and felt like home during what was a chilly weekend in Texas. We absolutely loved coming back to our warm, comfy room after being out and about. It felt clean and luxurious, and, it was always a pleasure to be greeted by the friendly staff. Their in-house restaurants, Goodall’s Kitchen and The Parlor Bar were delicious and quite popular as well, such a treat to have breakfast in bed, only a call away. Our room was spacious and had easy access to a luxurious porch overlooking downtown. My husband and I spent a whole afternoon on the porch working and it was perfect. We also loved how they brought by a small container of fresh water each night, how cute is that?! In-room breakfast was so great that we ordered it two of the three mornings we stayed at Hotel Ella. And, if we wanted to get out, it was never more than a 15 minute drive anywhere on our “Austin bucket list”! We travel a lot! And, I highly recommend this chic hotel! PS: Hotel Ella also hosts weddings on their beautiful grounds with delicious in-house catering. So if you’re a bride-to-be looking for an iconic spot in Austin to be wed, I’d check this place out for a classic Texas wedding!

  Was disappointed with room. Tiny with sloppy ceilings in main house. They moved us but it cost us extra 40$ per night. Don't be fooled by nice images on website! Since then things OK but complimentary car service was not available when we needed it so had to pay for taxis and just got back tonight and valet service had nobody so had to go into reception (opposite direction to room) to drop off keys as nobody was there. Just disappointed by service especially for price of room and valet service per day/night. -----UPDATE--- At checkout they were extremely apologetic about the room and valet situation and actually very generously removed the upgrade fee and the the valet costs (we did not ask for this). I have never experienced such a desire to improve our experience. The only shame is they didn't do it earlier so that it didn't taint our whole stay. That said, I'm really impressed and surprised and would advise that if you do have any issues speak to the manager!
