This historical property was an absolute gem to stay at. The staff from Cece at the front desk to Keith at valet were outstanding and really made our stay feel special. We were staying here to celebrate our 1 year anniversary and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and special. I have to say my favorite part of the hotel room was the bed - the most comfortable bed, linens, and pillows ( I did not want to leave!). We had the King room w a balcony facing the pool/courtyard, which was also amazing. The bathroom was very clean and also had a full length mirror which is always nice. This hotel is in a more quiet neck of Austin, but was in no way boring. A Memorial Day pool party was going on the day of our arrival - complete with a DJ to set the good vibes. We will be coming back!!!!! Thank you Hotel Ella!!!

loved everything.

the hotel and staff were fantastic, the hotel had a gas leak so there was no hot water and the restaurant couldn't open. when we checked out the nxt morning, the manager had waived any charges incurred at the hotel, ie our parking and breakfast. we thought this was so nice and kind of him. we would stay here again.

the location wasn't bad but was a bit of a way out, we were at the end of a 2 week holiday and just wanted to stay local, as the restaurant was closed at the hotel, we were limited for what to eat. apart from that, loved it.

Rooms spacious and comfortable. All staff friendly.

Was looking forward to a chill afternoon around pool after a weekend full of wedding festivities. A private party had it closed. They offered another pool to swim at, but we just wanted to relax. Was going to enjoy veranda and coffee, but people having professional photos taken all over kept us from that. And not a negative, but would love to know why a full size taxidermy lion is in an out of the way hallway cove. And 48$ on top of stay for valet...

We stayed here when my daughter was at UT Orientation. It is a great location walking distance from campus with very nice decor, comfy bed and clean room. We enjoyed the historic aspect of the main hotel and had tasty drinks and appetizers in the bar one night. I swam in the pool one afternoon and there was bar service available poolside if you like. The pool is tiny but nice to cool off in and has nice fountains and in Austin it is so hot so it was a welcome amenity.

I booked through Hotel Ella's website which directs you to Booking.com. Per my booking.com reservation, I received an email with the quoted prices including pricing of $25 per night for valet parking. It noted the total price did not include 17% tax or a resort fee of 6%. When I got my receipt via email long after we had left the hotel, I noticed I was overcharged for both parking and resort fees. It took 3 phone call and 2 emails to finally get someone to refund the overcharge and I only noticed the credit on my credit card account as no one from the hotel ever responded via email or phone. They also didn't refund the entire overcharge, and offered no explanation or apology.

This was a trip for my daughters 14th birthday. My mom, both daughters, and I spent a few days here. She picked this hotel due to the history, which she told us about at least 5 times throughout our stay. I was highly impressed with the staff, the best in the industry no doubt. They couldn't have made it any more special. My kids and I have had an insanely rough year, this was exactly what we needed at precisely the right time. I seriously will never forget the time we spent here and I know she wont either. I seriously can't say thank you enough to Hotel Ella and her glorious staff.

Cute boutique hotel in an awesome location right off MLK and the Drag. Two blocks from decent Pho restaurant. Easy to get in/out with valet app. Staff was friendly, responsive and helpful especially Cory at front desk! Small fridge in the room was a bonus. Room was good size too - stayed in the double queen. Didn’t get to try the Goodall Kitchen but heard it’s good.

I only ate one dinner there and the restaurant was out of a lot of the items I chose but the cheerful attitude of my waitress made up for it. The hotel smells amazing! And there is nothing better than cold marble bathroom floors when the temps outside are all over 100 and you've walked a half mile from the convention to the hotel. I LOVED the hotel.

If the temps hadn't made the days this summer so hot, perhaps the pool would have been cooler. Really unique pool. The heat (over 104 each day) was excessive but returning to the hotel was like Heaven.

I was pleased with the accommodations as well as the amenities despite not getting to use them all. I also like the fact that after a rocky start to our stay the hotel staff was able to rebound and go above and beyond to help make our stay memorable.

It was a surprise for our anniversary to my wife but the room was canceled before we arrived unbeknownst to me and we had to stay elsewhere our first night. The inconvenience of having to locate another room at 11 p.m. was a bad start to a great weekend.

Hotel Ella is in a beautiful mansion with porch and pillars. Still, it is very centrally located (10 min walk from UT Campus). I was lucky to have a room in the main building (I'm sure the other buildings are nice, too, but it just felt special to be in the mansion). The room was spacious enough, features a spacious closet, and the bathroom with the huge shower was amazing. Thanks to the weather I was able to sit on the porch with a complimentary cup of coffee. I had breakfast four times, and everything was delicious. I highly recommend the crab cakes. Service was very professional and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

I don't have any serious complaints. For me personally, it was just a bit inconvenient that the room did not feature a desk or chair. Moreover, it just so happened that there were private parties in the restaurant two evenings. This by itself was not a problem, but it would have been good to know in advance, as I would have liked to have dinner once in the restaurant, but the bar as well as the restaurant were closed to the public these evenings.
