This is a beautiful hotel on a "quiet" part of the river walk. Very clean and comfortable with large suite-type rooms. The staff, especially at the front desk and the concierge, were extremely courteous and helpful. Even though it wasn't on the main part of the river walk, it only took us ten minutes walking to get to the restaurants,... more

If you are NOT traveling with kids who will occupy the living room area of the "suite", then this hotel really isn't worth it. The room is the size that a regular room at a luxury hotel would be, but they chop it in half to create a "suite". The bedroom area is small with an old TV (most luxury... more

We had a wonderful time in San Antonio! This hotel was central to everything...a short walk across the river to La Vallita...3 minutes and we were in the heart of the Riverwalk restaurants, the Alamo was 4 blocks away...it was perfect. Pay a little extra for a Riverview...worth it...just make sure it's actually a riverview and not blocked by trees...The... more

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were great and the location was within walking distance to everything . The price was reasonable since we booked both the flight and hotel together through expedia. 4 nights just over $600!! For people who like nicer hotels but don't like to spend a fortune this hotel is a great pick.... more

I stayed at the Hotel Contessa over a long weekend. The room was great, with a nice view of the riverwalk. That's about all the positives I can give. I was there for 5 days, and only saw the housekeeping once. And that was only because my girlfriend went to complain. When she was intercepted by a bellhop, he said... more

Hotel is beautiful. Staff is very friendly. Suites are very spacious and comfortable. There are not many suite options on the Riverwalk and the others either had unfavorable reviews or exorbitant prices. I wanted the extra space and got it for less than a standard double room at Marriott, Hyatt, etc. Loved the location. It is on the quiet end... more

Nice hotel, great service. Stayed for five days; two adults, two kids and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. On the quiet end of the River Walk but very close to dozens of restaurants and shops, and pretty much walking distance to everything we wanted to see. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone visiting San Antonio. The Contessa employees at every level... more

The Hotel Contessa is located in the less crowded area of the Riverwalk, and is a bit of a distance from any other restaurants or shops. While this is nice for a quiet getaway, it's a little dark and scary walking on the riverwalk at night to this hotel. The rooms are quite spacious, but we were told we had... more

My friend and I stayed at the Contessa on Friday, May 30. It was my first time at this hotel and I thought it was great! First of all, we were on a girls weekend out and didn't have a reservation. We pulled up and were helped by the great staff, and promptly given a great deal for a double... more
