ARRIVE Austin
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
ARRIVE Austin is worth booking if you want to stay in walkable East Austin, close to restaurants, bars and nightlife, in a hotel guests keep very clean. Skip it if you need quiet nights or a lower bill, because the bar can be loud and the price was above the city median.

This hotel suits couples and friends who plan to eat and drink out and want to do it on foot. Guests single out the East Austin setting near restaurants, bars and nightlife. The property lists a restaurant, a terrace, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Light sleepers and families with young children should weigh the noise issue. Guests say loud music from the bar often reaches nearby rooms. If you go to bed early, this is the main reason to pick something else.
Location and getting around
The address is 1813 East 6th Street, in East Austin. Guests rate the location 9.3 out of 10, the strongest part of its score.
The Cathedral of Saint Mary (Austin, Texas) is 1.9 km away, about 24 minutes on foot. The Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum is 2.7 km, about 34 minutes, which is a long walk; a taxi or public transport may suit you better. The Islamic Center of Greater Austin is 5.5 km, around 69 minutes, so that one is far and needs transport. All walking times are straight-line estimates. Parking is not listed in our data, so check it if you are driving.
What guests say
ARRIVE Austin scores 9.0 out of 10 from 353 guest reviews, a strong result with a good number of reviews behind it. Two points come up again and again. One is the walkable neighbourhood. The other is cleanliness: guests describe interiors as consistently spotless, fresh and tidy.
The complaint is the bar. Guests like the space and the drinks selection, but say the music is often loud enough to disturb rooms nearby. Asking for a room away from the bar is a sensible step, though it is not confirmed that one will be available.
Price compared with our other two Austin picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €234.26 per night. That is about 13% above the median of the hotels we looked at in Austin. It is a reference price, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Here is the honest catch. Our Luxury pick, Cambria Hotel Austin Uptown near the Domain, was cheaper for those dates at €143.21 per night and scored 9.2 with 5 stars. It is, however, more than 14 km from the sights in our data. Our Budget pick, Sonesta Simply Suites Austin South, was €71.89 with a score of 8.1 and is also far from them. You pay more at ARRIVE for being able to walk out of the door into a lively area.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 13 eligible properties in Austin. ARRIVE Austin shares fourth place on guest score. Our Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price, so it is not the cheapest option. A 9.0 from 353 reviews plus a 9.3 location score made the case.
