My husband and I loved our stay in the Natiivo Austin Wow room (3108). We are local Austinites and needed a staycation for 2 nights away from the kiddos. I found this place randomly and was impressed with the pricing, quality, and service of the building/room and staff.
The room was clean, cozy and ambient, and unique. It didn't have a ton of kitchen supplies, but it had the staples + some, although the trash can could be bigger. The bed was comfortable and bathroom had good water pressure. We didn't use the washer and dryer but they looked nice! The choice of furniture and design has a simple yet comfortable urban feel, and everything functioned well. It's also nice to be able to log into your own TV apps. And of course the views were AMAZING. My only real gripe would be that I would have preferred some sort of dresser instead of the TV console for storage space of clothes in our room. There's a small closet that's fine for hanging short clothes (no long hang) but had other linens and stuff in it and no shelving for folded clothing or shoes. I just don't typically prefer living out of my suitcase but my husband didn't care.
The building had nice security measures in place (for example, your room card only allowed you to your floor and community floors via the elevator). The valet parking is required at $40/night + tip but I found it a nice convenience with pleasant people, and they only allowed the valet company to park and retrieve your car- another security measure. The amenities such as the rooftop heated pool, fitness and yoga rooms, upstairs lounge areas, outside area with dog section, lobby, and attached coffee/cocktail bar (Cuvee) were all nice and well maintained. They front desk greeted us every time we walked in.
The complex is around the corner from Rainey St and Town Lake Trail, and not far from SoCo. We ended up walking to some of the restaurants we ate at (Cosmic Saltillo and La Piscina) even if they were a bit further like 20-35 min walks. We also took a homemade sushi rolling class at Texas Sake Co, hit up The Range at Austin, and ate at Paperboy and some places on Rainey, all within walking distance or 10 -15 min drive.
Overall we couldn't have asked for a better stay, especially at the affordable rate we paid for a Thursday and Friday night at the beginning of January.
We would absolutely recommend this place with no hesitation and hopefully will be returning in the future!
