This is a wonderful place to stay. The grounds are absolutely charming and the room comfortable. The central location is convenient to most things and easy to find. Highly recommended!

Welcome to the Inn on Pearl Street where the doors don't close and the windows are always open! I wanted to like this quirky Austin hotel, but there were just too many problems. We stayed in the Oxford room for 2 days and the old-fashioned atmosphere of the room was just old. The windows in the bathroom had been painted open, leaving a good quarter […] inch gap at the top.The bed was 4 feet tall (huge!) and the only table was crooked so our stuff just rolled off. The furniture might be antique, but none of it has been restored or well-cared for, so it just looks like a garage sale in progress. This makes for a very drafty bathroom. There was a huge rug in the bathroom that caught on the bottom of the door almost preventing opening/closing. The breakfast was no better than the standard cereal and toast you get at any cut-rate hotel - no hot breakfast, no options, no one around to help serve. As if this wasn't enough, we had accidentally left a package of souvenirs at the Inn and called them to ask if they could mail it back to us. They called me back several hours later and explained that I would need to pay $25 for them to take the tiny package to the post office, and then I'd have to pay for any packing and shipping fees involved. Then they conveniently hung up on me. I can't understand why this hotel has deteriorated into such a shabby place. I'm all for keeping Austin weird, but you are better off going to a standard chain hotel for half the price. Read more

The Inn was excellent and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Very well done "themed"rooms. A wonderful self-service hotel!

Maybe they're trying for shabby-chic here, but the property is just kind of shabby. I'm here on business midweek, and the hotel has been quiet and adequate, but no better. I've met an assistant who helps out the owner -- she called to get my arrival details and was around the inn one day -- and she was friendly and helpful. Apart from that, ownership […] has been pretty much absentee. The breakfast isn't just cold; it's shelf-stable. The only thing really worth eating are the Nature Valley bars. (!) Furnishings in the rooms are jumbled and cluttered. Light switches are laid out haphazardly and lighting options are as motley as the furnishings. Bed is fine, though the linens could be nicer. Balcony doors open, though they tried to scratch me. Windows here and in an open room across the hall are painted shut. I like the location, BTW; it's near the shoal creek trail, where I went for a couple of morning runs. I had a rental car for getting to the core of downtown. Others may prefer staying closer to downtown to begin with, though. Online reviews appear to be larded with fake glowing reports; watch out for this. There's a conference in town this week, and downtown hotels nicer than, say, the Doubletree or La Quinta were unreasonably expensive. I'm not wholly dissatisfied with my stay, but I would opt to stay further out of town if presented with this choice again. Read more

The grounds/room appeared clean and decorated as advertised. Did not meet staff until second day of stay but were courteous. Could not sleep and ended trip early due to excessive noise pollution from the street. Conclusion: First B&B experience will be last.

Not sure why this place would get a bad review unless you are super snobby and can only appreciate hotels like the Four Seasons or the W. You can tell a lot of thought and effort has gone into this bed and breakfast. It's well taken care of and very charming. The breakfast is ok, but you are in Austin, there are a million places to eat. We stayed in […] the Far East room - it's in the back corner of the home and has a nice sized balcony where you can enjoy a glass of wine as we did. It's quiet and cute and is a nice change from the typical hotel stay. Close enough to downtown but not walking distance. Parking is free. Read more

I don't usually write comments, but I just had to this time. I thought the place was absolutely adorable. It was very convenient and the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. We stayed in the Venetian room and loved it. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our weekend trip for the UT game and (a surprise to me) engagement!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was our first stay at a B&B and really enjoyed the experience. The staff was great, the location was within walking distance or very short drive to all the shops, resturants, and the UT campus. The rooms were very inviting and comfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very quaint. We had a wonderful experience. The only problem was that we did not get to stay long enough!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Austin Inn at Pearl Street is a real gem. The grounds are beautiful and the houses are amazing. We were so pleased to find the location was close to restaurants and easy access to downtown and highways. We were welcomed immediately by staff, given a tour, and were made comfortable. Breakfast was continental, but there was a great variety of choices […] and they changed daily. This is certainly not your 'big box hotel' experience.We plan to return as early as possible .

The toilet ran continuously and never was fixed even though the staff was notified. Sink did not drain very well also. The bathroom was not very clean either.

Bed and Breakfast with such a quaint feel. Very well done restoration, grounds and location. Only 5 rooms for guests to stay, and rooms named with decor to match. I'll try a different room next visit. The other rooms in the house present an enjoyable, comfortable little adventure.

Overall good experience staying at B&B close to UT. Within walking distance to UT. Free parking. Room was clean and well maintained. Nice atmosphere among trees. Continental breakfast better than most but not unique.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This inn exceeded my every expectation. Clean, quiet, romantic, comfortable, and accommodating. We were in town for a wedding and as soon as we saw the French room we wanted to skip the whole wedding weekend and hang out at the Inn. If you bring your walking shoes, the distance to downtown on foot is manageable (about 30 minutes). We walked everywhere […] every day. Otherwise, grab cab so you can enjoy downtown for the evening and be back to the inn in time to enjoy it before bed. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a lovely place and very nicely appointed. It is quaint and lovely with period furnishings. It is quiet and provides coffee and snacks at night. There was no one attending the hotel, although I understand this is not a usual occurence. This made check-in a little difficult. I did get immediate help by phone, found my key and was able to get into […] the room. Breakfast is continental and self-serve. It would have been nice to have a hot breakfast, but one is not offered. Even so, I found the stay excellent and the surroundings quite lovely. The B&B is located centrally and has a nice patio area, as well as sitting rooms. Internet is provided, though, because of a thunder storm, I had some trouble connecting at night, but no difficulty when the storm subsided. Read more

We loved this little hide-away. The house is charming and the patio is amazing. We stayed in the Library, which is the only room downstairs. It's a little noisy, but not bad. The breakfast is nothing to rave about... mostly just breads and cereals, but enough to get your day started. The grounds are beautiful and it was so nice to not have to worry […] about parking, especially in Austin. It's not a good location is you're looking to walk to downtown/bar areas, but fantastic if you need to be by campus. Overall, it's a great location in central Austin. Read more

Our stay was most pleasant, and the staff were a big part of that. The staff epitomized friendliness and helpfulness. We slept so well in the room too. Definitely we will go back.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I've never stayed in a B and B. This is exactly what I thought one SHOULD be! Attention to detail in decor and a lot of thought put into everything down to the last detail. ie, Very clear directions on coffee pots in case you got up before anyone else. Sounds silly, but it wasn't! Coffee was ready to go. Just press a button. Pillows were a little hard […] was my only complaint. With that said, I might have grabbed the wrong one! Jill was delightful! (the owner) Read more

The Austin Inn was amazing! They had everything ready as I had requested down to the flowers and breakfast in bed. (I had requested the In-Suite Romance Package) I will use this bed and breakfast again anytime I am in Austin. Perfectly located near Guadalupe street and 6th Street and Lamar. Had a blast!

I stayed at Austin's Inn at Pearl Street, the location was great since I was at a meeting at UT Austin and could walk to the university, rooms were very nice, property is well maintained. My only issue was the breakfast. all that was avalilable was cold ceral, breads and coffee, there was no hot food The reason I stay in B&B's is to have a better breakfast […] that chain hotel. The lack of any real breakfast was dissapointing Read more

We enjoyed the stay at the Pearl inn and came back for a second stay. The rooms are great and the staff are very accommodating. The inn is within walking distance to downtown, the University and some good restaurants.

Beautiful property, room was very comfortable and clean. Great location

Personne à la réception le dimanche à 18h et personne au départ le mardi à 9h15...La clim défaillante, il faisait 28°C dans la chambre et 2 fois 15 secondes de WIFI en 39 heures...Petits déjeuners en self service. Un emplacement central mais absence humaine totale. Cela peut plaire à certains.....
