Moxy Austin

Attitude that doesn’t always follow the rules.

What makes it fun

The heart of Moxy Austin is that of a boutique hotel. It’s not too big and not too small- there’s a room waiting for you with your key. The living room has the energy of fun-hunting, free spirited guests who come to Austin because they know they will truly live in the city, right at its center. Bar Moxy is where it all goes down for guests- where we meet friends, plot next steps and make bad life choices. Zombie Taco, our 24/7 taco truck style food counter and take out window serves as an answer to late night cravings.

Happy little hotel with great service and fun vibe. I needed an iron and one was delivered within two minutes!
Skilled bartenders. The only reason it gets a four is because it’s mandatory valet for parking.

First time staying here. It is really convenient to the Moody Center. Clean, friendly, and well maintained. They also give you a free drink token when you check in. Bonus is they have a taco restaurant inside!

Simone is the best Conceirge/hospitality specialist I have have ever had and I have stayed in 5 stars and diamond hotels as the post oak hotel and ritz Carlton !

She will answer your questions before you get the chance to think about them ! She will go far and the hotel is for the chic and trend setters!
Loved it !

Had a great stay at the Moxy hotel. The staff are incredibly nice. I just want to shout-out the man that checked me in. I didn't catch his name (he was of African-descent I believe), but he was so charismatic and welcoming. The whole hotel is UT / Longhorn-themed which was a cool touch.

The room rates are a little on the pricier side though. There's garage parking that they recommend to reserve in advance and it's $45/night. Very expensive, but at least they enclose the garage with a gate during night. Otherwise, there's street parking or the San Antonio Garage nearby.

The rooms were nice and clean and the bed was quite comfortable. Apparently, they say they only do house keeping after the 3rd night, but somehow they did house keeping for my room after my 2nd night which was nice.

My complaint with the room was that the door wasn't fully sound-proof and you could hear noise like people and house keeping vacuuming often through it. The TV was nice and larger, but the interface was so laggy to use. You can connect an HDMI cable to it though (WiFi is plenty fast as well). It also would have been nice if the room came with a mini fridge and microwave since there was definitely space.

There's a bar and taco restaurant in the lobby area of the hotel. You also get a token for a free drink from the bar when you check-in. There's also a little courtyard area where you can socialize.

Location-wise, this hotel is fantastic. It's right across from UT Austin, and in a very safe location (West Campus), even at night, given it's primarily a student neighborhood. Lots of restaurants and food trucks within walking distance as well. There's also the main CapMetro rapid line bus stop right across that takes you to downtown.

I had an enjoyable stay at Moxy Austin. The staff was very friendly, the rooms were great, and they usually offer one free drink when you check in. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and a lot of basic amenities were provided. The only issue was that the sink was clogged in the room. They had a maintenance note from earlier patrons but did not fix it in between the stays. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I will definitely consider it, next time I am in town!

Not my cup of tea, but overall deserves a 5 star review. Pros! I travel three weeks a month and this is one of the cleanest hotels I have stayed at! The vibe is awesome, staff are amazing. For me the were only a couple of cons. One was, for a work trip the room was not the best setup, small with no real room or chair to sit and work. Second was no place to store food, or drinks. With that said, awesome hotel! Would be fun place to stay when not traveling for work! I’m

Wow!!! Never had this much fun at a hotel stay before. Sadly we were only in for one night but it was awesome! Check in is at the bar, you get free drink tokens when you check in. Parking was easy, the room was so cute! The drinks are great and the over all vibe is just so cool and cute!

We loved our first stay at the Moxy and would gladly stay again. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel has a fun vibe and ambiance.

Our room was immaculately clean with a great view through a large window. The bed was a tad firmer than we prefer but the bedding and linens were cozy.

Standard rooms will only have a shower. Since my girlfriend prefers relaxing in a bath, the staff kindly gave us an accessible room with a bath since they were below occupancy on this Friday night.

Parking is conveniently located and much of downtown is within walking distance or a quick ride in a rideshare.

Our room came with a steamer we used to freshen up our night attire.

I would have liked an in-room coffeemaker. However, complimentary coffee was available in the lobby.

There are comfy indoor and outdoor lounge areas.

The tacos were also a delicious start to our day.

The staff were the most friendly people! Always so helpful and gave us lots of tips on what to do in downtown Austin. Only place to stay in Austin in my opinion. Great college vibe , they also had live music and a great bar and outside area!

Faith did an amazing job! She decorated our room for a birthday and was so great & thoughtful. Although we weren’t a fan of the handicap room, she was able to switch our rooms very easily and was no hassle. The people upfront greeted us very well and overall was great customer service!

Oh god, this place was the cutest. First time staying at a Moxy hotel and it won't be my last. Loved the funky decorations and the staff was super friendly, hip, and hospitable. Beautiful courtyard space in the back, there were a lot of people chilling out there for an event while I was there. Plenty of space to relax inside as well. My room was basic but quiet and comfortable. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The rate was reasonable. Thanks for a great stay.
