Didn't have any bad experiences as reported by some. It's not a typical B&B. The owner is not around. Check in is via a note on the mailbox and you let yourself in. It's self service for pretty much everything-- some drinks in the fridge, food is buffet style, call if you need help. Good things for me were the... more

I went down to Austin with a couple of friends to see a concert and we looked around for a place that was both a bed and breakfast and could host four of us in one room and I came across The Star of Texas. This house is beautiful, and while I didn't meet the proprietors, I don't mind as... more

I REALLY wanted to like this place, but I just can't give it a good review for several reasons. Before I say anything negative, let me say something positive about the B&B: it was nice to be able to sit on the porch right outside of our bedroom in the morning and read the paper, there were cookies placed out... more

I decided to stay at the Star of Texas Inn recently because it was one of the few B&B's that did not require a Saturday night stay on the weekends. That should have been my first indication to steer clear of this establishment. First, the good: it is conveniently located in the neighborhood just west of UT's Central campus in... more

My mom, sister and I stayed here in 2 rooms (#15 and #19). We were in town for a diving meet at the Univ of Texas swim center on campus. We loved the location. There is a parking lot if you have a car, but we chose not to rent one and just took a cab to and from the... more

My husband and I stayed three nights in this B&B just a few days before Christmas 08. The room was cute, but a little chilly and on the small side. The bathroom was nice and clean. We had a separate entrance which was great since we had a ton of luggage. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast each morning. The cookies... more

I recently stayed at this hotel for one night. It is extremely close to the UT campus, and within walking distance of many restaurants and shops so this was a definite plus. When I entered the house initially I really loved it, seeing as to how I am into the whole old, historic, victorian mansion thing, and the downstairs was... more

This B & B is located in a big old house near the UT campus. Its managers are friendly and approachable, and it has a very homey feel. It is a bit run down, and it is noisy. The food and service are also not all that great. But if you need place to stay near campus and don't mind... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Star of Texas over New Year's. When we first arrived, tired from a long car ride, there was home-made peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies in the front hall and white wine in the guest refrigerator, and we felt instantly relaxed. Our room, #19, was a pretty green room with a king-sized bed... more
