Star of Texas Inn

The Star of Texas Inn is now open for business! We proudly offer a relaxing place to stay in central Austin. We are near downtown and the University of Texas. You can check availability or book a room with our online reservation system. Our rates range from $95 to $225 per night, depending on the dates of stay and room chosen.

We offer a nice place for travelers of all types, whether honeymooners, business travelers or folks just getting away. We have a large wraparound porch, and above that, a balcony that overlooks the neighborhood. Either is perfect for lazy afternoons. We have a high speed, wireless Internet connection available to our guests, and several of our rooms have desks for doing work. We also have a parlor for meeting people or just hanging out.

The Star of Texas Inn offers a total of nine guest rooms. All of our rooms have private bathrooms, cable TV and DVD players. We also have a wireless internet connection that reaches all of the rooms, and several of our rooms have desks for doing work. The room numbers start at 10 to avoid confusion, because rooms 1 through 9 are at our sister inn, The Austin Folkhouse, across the street. Rates range from $109 to $225 double occupancy. Each additional person is $15 per night.

Breakfast is either made-to-order or served as a buffet. Sylvia usually puts out a sweet dish, a savory dish and fresh fruit, orange juice, bagels and more. Of course, we serve hot coffee! Breakfast is served between 7:30 and 9:00 during the week. On weekends, holidays and a few other days of the year we serve between 8:30 and 10:00. We try to accommodate special needs. Please contact us if you have a special request.
