I would describe this as more on a cups of being a small hotel than B&B. The house is full of character and charm. Extremely friendly welcome from staff upon arrival, which immediately made the day after a long journey. All the nice touches have been listed in previous posts. The construction was not such a problem from my experience... More

I had a great stay at the Star of Texas Inn and can only report possitive comments on every aspect from booking to check out. Located on a neighborhood street not far from the University and "downtown", the Star of Texas Inn offers two converted Victorian-styled houses side by side. I was in building 2 room #20. The room was... More

Background story - a GF and I decided to go to Austin for a girl weekend... spur of the moment let's get out of our city and do something else decision. Looking for a place to stay, everything seemed to be booked except for Super 8 and Motel 6... the rates at Super were $300+/night... Yah. It turns out the... More

This B&B is located about two blocks from the UT-Austin campus, which has the LBJ Library, The Blanton Art Museum, and many more cultural venues and restaurants within walking distance. It's important to note that parking is impossible to find in Austin, so you might as well walk. As others have mentioned, the cookies in the alcove and the wine... More

What they won't tell you is that UT is erecting a 10 story dorm across the street to house "All UT Athletes". Work goes on ALL the time. It's extremely noisy, dirty and highly unpleasant. You know you're in trouble when your room has a bowl full of packaged ear plugs by the bed!!!!! It's a shame, because this used... More

I stay at the Star of Texas once a year. It is quite convenient to UT. Good breakfast, beverages in the refrigerator, and cookies by the door. Parking next to the house. I've never seen the owners; the staff are quite friendly and helpful. WiFi available, and an old fashioned computer with printer, too.

We stayed here for a couple nights at the tail end of our vacation. It is very close to the UT campus. Lots of students walking by all day long. Right now there is construction of a new residence hall literally right behind the B&B which makes it a bit noisy during the day but they finish working by 5... More

The Star of Texas is an outstanding B&B. We went to Austin for 3 days in February 2012 for a little get away. It was easily located, within walking distance of some good restaurants. Not far from the downtown area and the breakfast is WOW - great. Service was excellent and I have recommended it to several friends as it... More

This B&B was one highlight to our honeymoon. We chose it because we had plans at a venue near the UT campus that evening and there did not seem to be a lot of reasonably priced options in the area with availability -- and we were trying to avoid another corporate hotel experience. We called the owner, having gotten the... More
