About this property

Grand Austin Hotel and Loft

3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, A Fireplace, Secured Parking, A Balcony & Flat Screen TV'
If you are looking for a downtown vacation rental with a touch of luxury, welcome to the Austin Grand. With space for up to 10 individuals, the Austin Grand is the perfect place to stay whether you are attending a conference or looking for a place to sleep after a night of entertainment.

Situated one block from the Austin Convention Center (with a balcony view of the facility), two blocks from the world famous 6th Street and the Warehouse District, and a handful of blocks from every other downtown attraction including hundreds of restaurants, movie theaters, bars, nightclubs, lounges, and live music venues, the location is hard to beat. During events, these units are coveted by everybody in the city, including locals. The town lake walking/jogging trail is just a few blocks away, there is a yoga studio just across the street, Starbucks is 200 feet from the front door, and arrangements can be made for a temporary gym membership two blocks away during your visit, if desired.

This 3 bedroom 2 bathroom unit features accommodations for up to 10 guests (four queen beds and a queen-sized air mattress), central air and heat, a full sized stackable washer and dryer, a small balcony, free cable television, free wireless internet access, wood burning fireplace, and plush furnishings. With upgraded counter tops, renovated kitchen and bathrooms, flat screen televisions mounted on the walls, and a fantastic stereo in the living room, every detail has been considered to make your stay a pleasant one.

A full kitchen with oven, stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, and all of the tools you need to cook your favorite meals will be included, however there are so many dining options within a few blocks, you may never use it. A few nearby options include: Fleming's Steakhouse, Fogo de Chao, Piranha Sushi, Vince Young Steakhouse, Backspace, PF Changs, 200 Congress, La Condessa, Lamberts, Swift's Attic, Champions Sports Bar, Parkside, Eddie V's, The Onion, Swift's Attic, La Condessa, Trace, Lambert's, and many more...

A wet bar comes stocked with glassware, a blender, and all of the bar tools you will need to fix your favorite cocktails while visiting. Just add liquor and mixers and you are all set. The closest liquor store is 2 blocks away.

You will also receive access to free private gated parking for one car (plus a motorcycle or scooter), if you need it. You will also receive access to free private gated parking for one car (plus a motorcycle or scooter), if you need it. Since you can walk to everything, you might consider taking the Airport Flyer from Austin Bergstrom International for $1 per person. It picks up and drops off in front of the building every 30 minutes, and will save you the hassle and expense of a rental car or taxi.

There is also an outdoor pool area, and one of the most lively neighborhoods in ATX! If you need assistance with tours, transportation services, or anything else, we are here to help. **Please note that we are fully licensed with the City of Austin, and State of Texas. Permit #2014-014506 OL

Great Place with plenty of room

This is a great place to stay at! Checkin instructions were clear and easy. I was a little taken back by the purple paint in the pictures, but once you get there the decor really comes together. This condo is in the heart of just about everything down town Austin, we were able to walk to everything we wanted to do. We will be staying there again for sure!

Austin May weekend

Overall the unit is comfortable and clean but the building is fairly old. Bedrooms are nice though a bit sparse regarding closet and drawer space. Kitchen is adequate with nice sized refrigerator and the expected appliances. Location is a 10 minute walk from the Rainey St area that has several restaurants and clubs and a few minutes from 6th St where there are also numerous bars and restaurants. Overall for the price the unit is what one would expect in this city.

Affordable stay at a great location

This hotel was in a great spot for a stay in Austin, TX. Since it is in between 6th and Downtown, it is noisy throughout the night if you're an early bird. Nothing crazy- mainly peddle pub tour. We had 8 adults and just doubled up with the 4 beds. There was an air mattress available. The loft upstairs was spacious. The railing going upstairs was pretty steep & the top is definitely easy to trip on so just be prepared for that. One of the stabilizers was missing too so I recommend that being fixed to avoid injuries. They updated the couch which was nice because its cuter and super comfy. A few things were broken upon arrival so we took pictures just to cover our butts to avoid any charges (we didn't get any yet, but worth noting). Definitely an older complex but AC worked and it was still a comfortable place to stay. Kitchen had a coffee machine and cutlery available. We ate out but it would be easy to have eaten at home if need be. Prior to our trip the communication with the property manager was good and quick. Communication was non existent when we arrived, I had a few questions for Ryan that went unanswered. But thankfully the phone number provided for the complex allowed me to talk to whoever was there at the time. Check in was earlier than advertised so that was nice. Wouldn't recommend for someone who has a hard time with stairs, as its on the third floor & the stairs are a little sketchy. But overall we had a nice stay, minimal issues, & would recommend.

great location

Awesome location, comfortable beds and nice kitchen. The only reason I give 4 stars is because there was obviously a bachelorette party there before us and lots of "phallic confetti" in the carpet and the entry. A vacuum would have fixed that. Great place though.

Amazing downtown location!

Property is very nice and the location really makes it. So wonderful to be right downtown with easy walking to Sixth St, Lake Austin and all the downtown restaurants and clubs. Our large family had plenty of room and we enjoyed the front room for games. The unit had some basic maintenance issues (plugged bathroom sink, nonfunctional kitchen garbage disposal, no heat in the dryer) but nothing major.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 July 2023
Thank you for the review, Susan. I wish you had reached out during your stay, as we could have easily cleared that drain. The garbage disposal and washing machine/dryer have all been replaced since your stay, so I have to apologize that you got those on the tail end of their life span. We will make it up to you when you come back!! Cheers, Ryan

Very nice, spacious property but needs some attention

Stayed 9/10/17 thru 9/15/17 Cons: while the property pictures are impressive, the furniture in the open area is worn and stained. Several of the closet and cabinet doors were broken/unhinged; no hangers in any closet, no kitchen linens. Lamps were broken or falling apart in several rooms. Wifi faded in and out throughout the day and water was shut off twice during stay. Pros: Michael and Ryan were extremely responsive to water issues (wasn't their fault) and assisting with tips on improving wifi. They strive to provide prompt service which is great! Kitchen and all appliances are like new; beds were very comfortable, plenty of freshly laundered bed linens and towels. Being on the top, corner floor of the building made for a quiet stay. Conveniently located in the downtown area; easily within walking distance of many great venues. With a bit more attention, this would easily be a 5-star venue for a group of 6-8 folks.

Hey Mark, Thanks for the feedback, and I apologize that we fell short on your stay. We have since addressed the issues you pointed out, and apologize as we clearly had a rowdy group before your arrival. The wifi should have been an easy fix if you had let us know. There are 2 networks, and no other reports of outages during the dates of your stay. Please come back and give us another chance to earn 5-stars on your next Austin visit. Cheers, Ryan

False Advertising and Poor Service

This was, by far, my worst experience at a property. Our water was shut down entirely for almost a whole day as there was work being done in the building. Our party of 9 was forced to go to a nearby hotel and buy spa day passes in order to shower and clean up. The internet was spotty at best if you stay in the living room. When we arrived at the property there was no laundry detergent available as specified in the property description. There was also insufficient toilette paper, paper towels, trash bags, etc. leaving us with no option but to go out of our way to purchase additional supplies. The property was not handicap accessible as specified on the posting – we had to lug our belongings 3 flights of stairs. Also, they post a pool, which is not part of the property. Finally, when I sent a complaint letter to the owner and property manager, they in turn filed a claimed that stating that we broke their garbage disposal and charged a few hundred dollars in retaliation.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 July 2023
Sadly, 90% of this is false, and this guest (Hazel) trashed our place. We had to file an insurance claim (which we won) to return the condo to its original condition. I will address the points listed one by one: The water was shut off for 30 minutes by the HOA for an emergency water repair in another condo, and a note was on the door of the condo Hazel rented the day before to inform her. That was all that happened. We explained the situation to her when she called, and she seemed to understand. I am not sure about the spa day passes, as that was never mentioned during her stay. The Internet works well, but Hazel had trouble reading the provided instructions. We helped her group, and they were fine. All supplies were stocked in the condo prior to Hazel's visit. There were 6 rolls of toilet paper, laundry detergent and fabric softener under the kitchen sink, trash bags under all sinks, and 3 rolls of paper towels. That is the standard that we provide, and it was all there. Nothing was mentioned in this regard until this review. Otherwise, a property manager would have happily showed them where it was. We have never advertised the property as handicap accessible as it sits on the 3rd floor of a 3-story building without an elevator. We confirmed with Homeaway/VRBO that the listing does not and has never had that information listed incorrectly. Lastly, the insurance claim was filed within an hour or two of Hazel's departure. There was no retaliation, but now I am left to think that was your goal in writing this false review. Sad that this happened, but our place is fixed and Hazel won't be invited back. Sincerely, Ryan

Great Location!

Great location in the heart of Downtown Austin. I have no complaints! This place is in a perfect location and the owners make it extremely easy to access the place once you arrive to Austin. We were in town for a bachelor party and it met all of our needs. It isn't a party pad but a great place to start and end your night on 6th or Rainey Street. I highly recommend.

Austin Convention

I stayed in this rental with four colleagues for a convention in October. I can honestly say, we could not found a better or closer place to stay! You can see the Convention Center from the patio and it made break time extremely convenient. You are easily within walking distance of 6th street and Rainey Street which includes tons of restaurants and bars. The condo had great aesthetics and we we were envy of everyone else that stopped by to visit. Thomas and Jared were extremely helpful with reservations, check-in, and check-out. I don't believe I have received better customer service from any other hotel! If I need to come back to Austin in the future, I will definitely use this company again!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Windsor

Host profile image
I have been in Austin since 1994. As much as I love the city, I also enjoy traveling and photographing vacation destinations and tourist attractions around the world. As a registered travel agent, I am able to work while I enjoy tours and activities in places like the London, Paris, Rome, New York, San Francisco, and Hawaii, to name a few.

Why they chose this property

I have always wanted to own/operate a hotel. That has been a passion of mine since I was a child. For that reason, I enjoy having guests staying in my rental properties, and I want to provide so much more than just a place to stay. My goal is to create a memorable experience for my guests.

What makes this property unique

I want my guests to know that not only does Austin deliver a good time, but that this home away from home is waiting for you. With my connections in the travel industry, and tenure in the city, I strive to provide a level of service you will not find with other rental managers.

Please feel free to ask as many questions as you like. I enjoy talking about Austin and the property, so I welcome you to communicate with me. I am here to help, and your good time is my priority.
