This hotel is located on the corner of two busy streets. There is a bus stop right below the bedrooms on the " river view" side. There is a bus stopping every two minutes from 6:00 am till 11:00 at night. Very noisy with a lot of people waiting for the bus and cars honking. My husband and I had... more

Traveling with a 2 and 4 year old, so we needed a suite (i.e. two separate rooms). The king suite w/parlor was perfect and very tasteful and luxurious feeling. The room was completely quiet, no noise whatsoever (and we were only on the 3rd floor). The valet parking was expensive ($28). However, this is inline with other similar hotels in... more

I have stayed at Hotel Contessa 3 times and have thoroughly enjoyed each stay. I am scheduled for another visit in July. All 3 times I have stayed at the hotel with my husband and toddler. I absolutely love this hotel! When I walk in I just melt to the fragrance that is sprayed throughout the hotel. Staff is always... more

Attractive hotel on the River, but a bit removed from the action. Top notch staff and doormen. Valet Parking is steep, but there is a cheaper self park lot accross the street. Beautiful rooms, but street noise is deafening. The bus stop was located at the corner of the hotel which made for constant noise. Need better windows to dampen... more

My sister and I stayed at the Hotel Contessa for 3 nights in June. The location was very easy to find from the airport and the guys at the front door were very attentive. Upon entering the hotel, for some reason I remember this great smell and the design is also gorgeous. The lovely German woman at the front counter... more

The hotel is really nice and the location is great but the parking situation is a joke. Located right on the River Walk is very convenient if you don't plan on going anywhere else. A parking structure is your only option; $15 if you park yourself, $27 for valet (that's for overnight). If you go in and out of the... more

I wasn't sure about staying here because it's not a main stream hotel but, the wire and I were surprised with how great this hotel is. The staff is awesome and the place is great. The beds are comfortable. It's just off the river and that walk is great too. 5 minute walk from the convention center and I couldn't... more

Our room was clean and the layout is great. The service was beyond what a lot of hotels offer. We had so much fun in the atrium, sitting for hours talking to family. The Riverwalk is right outside the door, and it is on the "quiet" section of the river. We will always choose Hotel Contessa for our San Antonio... more

I haven't read all the reviews of this hotel, but I've read enough to see that this unusual (for San Antonio) hotel is not accurately enough described. Hotel Contessa is DIFFERENT from the other hotels in San Antonio. Imagine a European, Spanish (from Barcelona or Madrid) high-style hotel plopped down among more corny American style hotels and you have an... more
