6/10 Good

Not too good
Not very good at all. The room was so inconvenient. I do not do my make-up in the bathroom so I could barely see how to do some of it sitting on the couch because the lighting was awful unless it was daytime and the drape was opened. Lighting was pitiful. The bathroom faucet had a tiny stream of water coming out. Almost unusable. The shower was great and the location was really good for me and my husband. The ceiling was old concrete as well as the floor. It they want that motif someone should at least clean them up some. We didn’t have to pay for parking which was good and we felt our car was safe in the parking garage. Not too many areas were very safe in Austin overall. We had only one washcloth when we arrived and put the sign on the door not to clean the room. But they did anyway and then we had no washcloths or hand towels. They said they had not been cleaned yet but finally got us one washcloth and a hand towel.

Happy to Go Back!
The Carpenter is a lovely place -- lots of concrete, mattresses low to the ground, hipster vibe with lots of pleasant dogs and coffee. The location is good although I prefer the sister hotel, The San Jose, on South Congress for locale. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Austin and John and the three baristas at the wonderful coffee shop.

Great service!!!
This hotel had 5 star service. The staff was on top of every request within moments. We dealt most with Joseph at the front desk. Very friendly Brooklyn guy who made sure everything was good. The style of the hotel is a bit off the wall and fairly typical of Austin: a fusion collision of industrial, Bauhaus, and dorm room, but all appears to be very carefully thought out. I would definitely recommend this place.

A great hotel. I was here for a film festival and it was perfectly located for that. But it was also just a very solid place to stay. Solid vibes, good food, and just really cool. Great bed too, a rarity in hotels

The carpenter was a lovely experience as it’s a very unique Concept in a fun city. The Room comes with earplugs as the hotel accommodations are pretty much converted dormitories, but they are styled well and very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
