The LINE Austin

I wasn’t overly impressed by my stay at The Line. The hotel is arty and chic, however lacs a lot of functionality and could use some updating. The location is great for getting around downtown and there are tons of scooters/ it’s very walkable.

The hotel is rather dark. The entrance is like walking into a cave. We mentioned that the lights were out early in our stay and desk staff just laughed it off. The hallways, elevators, and rooms are also very dimly lit- possibly so you won’t notice that they’re a little shabby.

The ceilings are low-maybe 7ft on the floors with rooms.

The room is spacious but not super comfy. The edgy touches are cool but not very functional. The bed is very low to the ground and more like a futon than a quality bed. I also didn’t love that the in room amenities weren’t clearly labelled- like the minibar not being labeled, instead you have to scan a QR code to find any info.

The pool was relaxing and it has bar access. There was quite a bit of sediment in the pool and I didn’t love that there is a walking trail right by the side of the pool. Not very private. Could definitely use more plant coverage than is available.

Overall, I love the arty concept but the hotel lacks a lot of basic guest experience needs.

The location was great. Staff was amazing and accommodating. Amenities were everything
