Had a great experience staying at La Unica for an ACL trip. The staff are really nice and friendly. The bed mattress was very comfy, and for the price it was worthwhile. I would come back here.

The room was extremely comfortable, offering a small desk with chair, a comfy bed, a quality air conditioner, small fridge and microwave. The toilet and sink were also very clean. The staff were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, they showed me around the place, taught me how to use the public transport even when Australia Google had blocked the Umo app.

The shower is off suite so make sure to bring some slides. Despite some furniture and decor not being fully installed the bed was comfortable enough. Make sure to request hand soap.

for the price and the convenience this place was awesome as heck. the hallways are a bit strange and the showers are bit scary looking but I never felt unsafe. the staff was super nice & accommodating. next time I come to Austin for a couple of days I will most definitely stay here again. it's close to literally everything we wanted to do around Austin so I don't regret staying here. woopwoop

Honesty its what you expect for what you paid for. The room was clean. It had all the essentials. A bed and a shower. However coming home at night we noticed a lack of hot water. And thats the only issue we had. The rooms were spacious and the beds were basic overall an affordable staying experience in Austin

Decent & budget friendly lodging place!

Decent place, budget friendly, peaceful and quiet! It is a refurbished/repurposed nursing home, but it was no problem to us. It was as comfortable as any other hotel stay I've been at. The only thing that made us a little iffy was the community showers. Its 3 showers in one room, but you can lock the door so no one else goes in. It was real clean, the bed was soft, it had a microwave, a small fridge, your own bathroom, tv, drawers and desk with chair.

Comfy!

I was pleasantly surprised, I booked this on accident and was unable to cancel due to me realizing too late. To keep this short don’t be discouraged from the location, it’s what Austin is about anyway. I was skeptical but once I stepped inside greeted by a kitty and a young man I was impressed. The room was clean the tv was nice and the showers although communal were lockable. Enjoyed this very unique experience! No problem with check out or with hidden fees as soon as we checked out our deposit was returned!
