I am surprised that Hotel Contessa is not rated higher on Trip Advisor. On other travel sites, it is rated in top 5! San Antonio must have some great hotels to compare? Hotel Contessa has everything you need for a great visit to San Antonio! My husband and I stayed for three nights with two teenagers. It is centrally located,... more

I booked the Hotel Contessa on July 16th for my wedding night which was Oct 24th. We arrive there while Im in my dress and my husband is in his tux, with our limo at about 11 p.m. We unload all our luggage, I get out my confirmation and before we know it, the desk guy is telling us that... more

This hotel is a real gem! The location on the river is great and sitting outside in the morning or afternoon on the river bank is wonderfully relaxing. The rooms are clean, organized well and attractive. Nice large bathroom, comfortable bed. The staff is very friendly and efficient. I read another comment about slow elevators and was really surprised. We... more

My husband and I came into San Antonio for friends wedding. I searched on the WEB as to where to stay for at least a 4star hotel. The Hotel Contessa met and exceeded our expectations. Absolutely beautiful Mexican contemporary decor. Open elevators inside this very unique building. The suites were large. Located right on the River Walk. Tommy, the concierge... more

I stayed at Hotel Contessa for 2 nights for a family gathering. I had never visited San Antonio before, and was not sure what to expect. The Hotel Contessa is right on the Riverwalk (as are many other hotels, because the Riverwalk weaves its way like a horseshoe around downtown San Antonio). But I really liked the Hotel Contessa's location.... more

This is a great hotel! On the riverwalk, very good view of the city. Very clean, generous staff and fantastic decor in the rooms. Very high quality hotel at a resonable price. The only down side was the parking at $30.00 a day!! Highly recommend. This is the place I know I will stay when I go back!! more

Stayed here 2 nights on business for a conference held at the hotel. My only complaint was that this was not a great place for a conference (meeting rooms were too cramped, not enough restrooms, elevators too slow, very small business center). I would definitely stay here again for leisure. Rooms were great...all suites with lots of space. Hotel was... more

This is a lovely hotel. The service is great, the rooms were clean, spacious and they graciously accommodated my request for a room overlooking the river. They Aveda amenities in the bathroom and lovely hacienda style decor. I would have been happy with this hotel if the price was a little lower. They are missing some of the amenities (like... more

Solid hotel- not right in the middle of the river walk, so getting around not as easy, but a good hotel with a nice restaurant. more
