Booked a studio suite and ended up on the 3rd floor next to the main road. Crazy noisy at night and in the morning coz the coffee shop is right there. Staff didn’t even bother to ask how the stay was, else this could have been a feedback at the front desk. The restaurant, Nido, was great as always, but never coming back to the hotel. Also, staff at the coffee shop was rude!

The Loren is a beautiful property with thoughtfully designed, well-appointed rooms and an excellent location. The hotel has a luxury aesthetic, and the poolside oysters were outstanding. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not live up to the expectations of a luxury hotel. The biggest issue was the noise. This was by far the noisiest downtown hotel I’ve stayed in while visiting Austin. It appears the building may have poor sound insulation, as outside noise was noticeable throughout our stay. The pool area was also disappointing. With only about 10 lounge chairs for a 106-room hotel, seating is extremely limited. When we arrived, there were no clean towels available, empty plates and glasses had not been cleared, and the entire area looked disheveled rather than polished. The staff was pleasant but not nearly as attentive as expected for a hotel in this price range. Service fell short in other ways as well. Later that evening, I realized I had forgotten toothpaste and called the front desk to request some. I was told it would be sent to the room, but it never arrived. Rather than call again, I went to bed, and my husband had to stop by the front desk the following morning to pick some up himself. The Loren has all the ingredients to be an exceptional luxury hotel—the design, rooms, and food are excellent—but it needs significant improvement in soundproofing, pool operations, housekeeping attention to detail, and guest service to justify its premium price.
