great location. Great coffee shop next door. music on sundays is great! Very cute hotel! i would definitely recommend this hotel to people visiting that want to experience the fun times that Austin has to offer.
For those looking for a tradition hotel to watch tv in at night, this might not be the best choice. But, I think that its funky atmosphere are perfect for adventurers and travellers looking for fun/nightlife/art.
Upon arrival to the Hotel San Jose it is like a little "step back in time", it is like it's own little area- it is quaint, charming and unique. Has the feel of a boutique hotel but not a hotel, more like a retro home. The friendliness and informative staff was great, to let us know where the best places to eat were,as well as the ...
The rooms and minimalist and spacious. Probably not for everyone, but anyone who's a fan of "The Standard" hotel would love it! The best part is "happy hour" outside at the hotel lobby. Lots of 20-40 somethings enjoying themselves and the great atmosphere. It's AWESOME!!!

True Austin experience

The Hotel San Jose is the best way to experience Austin!

Not the place for family travel, but great for business or pleasure visits. A great alternative to the sterile, hi-rise hotels, Hotel San Jose provides you with access to best of Austin.

Who says motels are for budget-minded families traveling in minivans or covert, low-budget trysts? Not in Austin, where the coolest digs in town are the radically restyled San Jose.

Fun place to stay in Austin
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/21/04
The Hotel San Jose is a great boutique hotel - it's hip, but comfortable. I liked the mimimalist design. If you're looking for plush accommodations or a good place for the kids, this isn't the hotel for you.

San Jose Hotel

What a find in Austin! Beautiful environment, nice rooms (and I don't usually like minimalist boutique style). Can't wait to go back.
