The Guild Zilker Park | Lamar Union

Condo Hotel

Long review… Where do I begin, how do I begin… This place is beautiful, located in the south of Austin near ziker Park which is another review on its own. You will be surrounded by everything you might be looking for and a few surprises to go along with. There is an abundance of food trucks all within walking distance. In the same square "block" they have a few shops a bar and lounge and movie theater, all within eye sight. On to the building 4 levels high but the 1st one are shops the other 3 are apartments. Most residents are permanent, but some rent out the apt. But Don't let this discourage you everyone was super friendly. Outdoor areas and hang outs are aplenty. Pool looked delicious but I didn't take a dip but I did have a great workout at their gym facility, the wife and I enjoyed it to ourselves. I only stayed one night and didn't have time to do it all. Onto the rooms. Very modern, very clean, very useful. The apt. Is small but no space is wasted, the living room has a queen sized sofa bed just in case. The kitchen and living room are together but well defined. The bedroom has a king size bed where the Mrs. Our kiddo and I slept through the night. Restroom has a laundry room hidden in plain sight. It was an amazing stay.

I stayed last night at Guild and had the best experience, blowing away my expectations. First of all, the room was huge which was a nice change from the typical snug hotel room. Everything was clean and I loved that I was right by all the great spots in downtown Austin.

Great Apartment/Hotel stay experience for 3 nights. A fully furnished 1 bedroom apartment. Full kitchen and laundry room. Full gym and great pool area especially on weekend. It is hopping/fun. 5-10 minute ride to east 6th and Rainey street. The price was very reasonable. Staff was wonderful and very attentive! I will definitely stay here again!

Great location — — you're across the river from downtown and just a few minutes from Zilker Park and Barotn Springs. The unit is spacious and clean, with a full kitchen and a washer dryer. The pool is also awesome. Check in was super easy despite there not being a front desk, and The Guild staff are super responsive via text if you have questions. Parking isn't free anymore, but we were able to find street parking within a few blocks throughout the weekend. Highly recommend!

This is apartment living for hotel rates, and it's a brilliant concept. I don't need room service. I don't really need a concierge, or want a special account for Wi-Fi while traveling. Guild eliminates all this and focuses on providing a home base for travelers. Immaculate premises. Full size appliances, from fridge to washer/dryer. Super comfy furnishings, lots of nice touches like extra pillows, sheet and towels… a dish towel in the kitchen… locally roasted coffee for the coffee maker, and a simple but classy set of plates and mugs for four, along with glasses and utensils and flatware and such. Smart TV in bedroom and living room… I signed into my Netflix account and caught up on a film I hadn't seen yet (note to future guests: don't forget to sign out of your Netflix/Prime/Hulu/whatever account before checking out). The people who run Guild are just terrific! I arrived in Austin way early, and they offered to let me stash luggage at their office while I got oriented, then they drove it over to the unit as soon as it was available. So sweet! Very helpful, responsive, and in every way guest-oriented. I know I'm gushing here. But I am so impressed by the notion of the whole Guild enterprise, and then the execution and the very personable people who run it. Bravo. I look forward to returning.

Beautiful, clean apartment it’s high end finish out and appliances. Wonderful location off Lamar in the heart of everything. I will definitely stay there again.

Lovely apartment with large, very comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean. Given very detailed instructions for finding the place and getting in. Location isn't great, not much within normal walking distance.

Great place. Check in was a breeze. The view was spectacular!

This was probably the best hotel experience ever. The place was extremely clean comfortable, and centrally located. I didn't meet any of the staff, but they were very friendly and helpful via email and text. I felt very at home and enjoyed getting ready in the morning to some vinyl. I was a little skeptical about how the process of checking in and out would be, but it was super simple. Thank you to the Guild Lamar Union! I will definitely be back to Austin and will be staying there again as well as telling my fellow Canadians about this place. Cheers!

I was a little hesitant to stay at this unconventional "hotel" but I'm so glad we decided to stay here on our vacation. The apartment unit we stayed in was comfortable, quiet, over-looked the pool, had a great view of downtown, and was well-decorated with works by local artists. The apartment is stocked with everything you could possibly need and if there is something you want that's not available, there is plenty of helpful information around the unit. Still can't find what you want, just text the staff and they'll respond instantaneously! We did have some issues with parking as our parking pass didn't work to open the gate, but luckily every tenant we ran into was helpful and let us in the gate. We'll definitely stay at another Guild property in the future!

Loved this place! It was so convenient. The room was apartment sized and so much better than a hotel. It has everything you need including a full kitchen and washer and dryer. The staff is very helpful and responds via text within seconds to any questions. Great pool and lots of places nearby to eat. There's even a fabulous salon, Jose Luis right there too! Don't hesitate to try the Guild. It is awesome!

Great location. Easy parking. Elevators are quick and large. Air is noticeably clean and refreshing. Hallways are clean and make you feel like you're in a contemporary art museum if that makes sense. Rooms are great. There is a park with lots of dogs.

High tech unconventional hotel. It is highly automated but help is always just a text away. Apartment is spacious, clean, modern. Internet connection is fast. Location is good (short Uber ride to downtown) but also pretty quiet allowing one to get a good night sleep. Parking is free but can be challenging during weekend daytime as the spaces can be taken up by movie goers.

This place was fantastic! The location had everything you could ask for tons of food and entertainment options right out of your doorstep as well as free parking. The apartment itself was beautiful, love the decorations especially the monkey lamp! It was bright, open, airy and cozy and had every single amenity you could ask for. I especially loved the little private balcony for awesome morning coffee provided! They were also extremely on top of communication! It was great to be able to text them and get an instant response when I couldn't figure out parking. They were super helpful, attentive, and friendly the whole stay. I for sure plan to stay here from now on each time work or play takes me down to Austin!

Great location and apartment/room. Close to almost every place you would want to go in Austin with the convenience of an apartment. Parking can be a little be crowded, but we never had a problem finding something. We had two kids with us and while it worked ok, but the community doesn't have a family friendly feel. Didn't have a lot of interaction with staff, but the interactions we had we fantastic. Overall I would recommend for couples, groups of adults and maybe older kids.
