We booked this hotel quite by chance in San Antonio for just one night.Luxurious room but in an "old" style which gives all its charm (we had the "Cardinal Room").When you arrive, some treats (crisps, piece of chocolate, cakes) as well as bottles of chilled water and wine to welcome you.Being French and spending just one night in San Antonio, we did not have to meet the hosts but they took the trouble to contact us on Whatsapp to ask us if everything was okay, practical information...etc. The hosts are very available by Whatsapp for foreigners.The strong point of the hotel is that a small space for parking the vehicle is available at the back of the house, in the courtyard, free of charge (if there is space of course). Otherwise, there is plenty of free street and area parking available within a 300m walk.Hotel located 10 minutes walk from the "River Walk" so perfect for not using your car in the heart of San Antonio!The very small downside we had was that the bathroom window overlooked the rear courtyard of another room... but the rest was impeccable!Hotel in a quiet and relaxing area!

Sparkling clean! Stunning neighborhood with beautiful architecture and large trees. Blocks from downtown but you would never know because it’s so quiet. My room had a clawfoot tub and such a plush bed. The hot tub on the deck made the whole experience complete for me!

Just returned from a wonderful trip to Brackenridge House for a couple days of playing tourist downtown. Had a great time, perfect location in the heart of the King William District. You can spend an entire day walking the streets and viewing the plantation homes and mansions.Top recommendations after checking in:King William Park and the Riverwalk are 2 blocks away. You can hop right on the Riverwalk trails for some exploring or a jog. Very beautiful. Downtown and the Rivercenter Mall are less than a mile away... you can just stay right on the Riverwalk trails and walking paths to reach everything.The Pearl - a MUST DO... visit the Pullman Market, eat at Brasserie Mon Chou Chou for rustic French-prepared meals, and have an evening drink at the Hotel Emma bar.St. Mary's and Southtown - BEST area for fun nightlife and memorable restaurants. Singhs Vietnamese food, Hot Joy (great fusion restaurant)It was a pleasure meeting with Lily at Breckenridge House... We would HIGHLY recommend staying there for a few days to rest, recharge, relax, and visit the best that downtown San Antonio has to offer.

My wife and I recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary in early December 2023 with a first-time, two-night stay at the Brackenridge House. As life-long residents of San Antonio, we have enjoyed many day visits to the King William neighborhood which features venerable architecture, mature trees and shrubs that vividly change colors with the seasons, friendly residents, and great dining establishments within walking distance. Our dining choices included the Guenther House, Station Cafe, and the new Rosario's.We also squeezed in a return stop at the San Antonio Art League and Museum one street over from our location. An impromptu stop at Oh Yeah Cakes was well worth our time to pick up delectable cupcakes for the cross-town drive home.Booking our short but wonderful stay in the Mockingbird Room gave us the opportunity to experience the appeal of the King William neighborhood in a more personal way. We especially like that the Brackenridge House is centrally located within the neighborhood.The Mockingbird Room was ideally furnished, clean, comfortable, and cozy. It included modern amenities that did not detract from the vintage look and feel of the house. One of our favorite parts of the visit was simply relaxing in the front porch swing one evening while taking in the Christmas lights up and down the street. The occasional and sentimental sounds of distant train horns at night further enhanced our experience.As an option, we chose two morning meals. These meals were homemade by our super nice host, Lily, who pampered us by delivering them in person and fresh to our room. The weather was pleasant enough for us to enjoy breakfast on the veranda just outside the room.Upon request, Lily gave us a tour of the other rooms of the house that are available for guests. We would no doubt be equally happy staying in any one of them.When we are again ready for a staycation, our first thoughts will be of the Brackenridge House. Thank you, Lily, for your hospitality and friendly conversations to help memorialize our anniversary. We love the place.

This is a fantastic stay for visiting San Antonio. The room, actually mini apt., was comfy clean and roomy. Lily was terrific both for communications with us and being so accommodating. We felt like she really enjoys her clients. Nice neighborhood. Easy parking...and only 2 blocks to the riverwalk access. A short walk into the hub of San Antonio. Tons of fun. Definitely an A-plus stay. Thank you.

My boyfriend and I spent the weekend here. Such a beautiful place and the location is ideal. Breakfast in bed every morning and the small thoughtful touches are definitely what made this weekend so special.

My husband and I were on holiday from the UK and spent 3 nights at Brackenridge House in October. What a great find and we couldn’t have been more delighted with our choice of accommodation.Our room was spotless, comfortable and spacious. Breakfast freshly cooked, served beautifully and delicious to eat.The property location was fantastic both in terms of feeling safe and its accessibility. An easy, pleasant walk of about 10/15 minutes (from memory!)to the restaurants and bars located along the River Walk. However if you wanted to stay closer to home, a very short stroll takes you to some great restaurants, bars and a sports beer garden which is something we enjoyed.But most important of all was the friendliness and hospitality of Lily and Roland. We were made to feel at home the minute we walked through the door and Lily couldn’t have been more helpful with her recommendations and pointing us in the right direction on the map she provided. So thank you Lily and Roland for your warmth and for making our visit such a successful one. Wishing you all the very best.

My husband and I stayed at the Brackenridge House mid-October for my birthday, and it was wonderful! Lily was very pleasant and went the extra mile giving us recommendations on places to eat, bike maps, directions to places and making sure our stay was great. We had rented a car; however, everything was really close that we left the vehicle parked there the whole time. Thank you, Lily, when we visit San Antonio, we'll be sure to stay here again! ~ Margarita & Frank

I do not tend to take the time to leave reviews but due to the favorable experience of recent, I felt that it was warranted. I rented a room for my wife and I for two nights recently and found the experience most excellent. The location was peaceful and close to the Riverwalk. We were able to take a short walk through couple of streets in a historic neighborhood to access the walk and convey on into town along the river for a number of sights including the Alamo. It was rather hot (June) but that really meant less tourists to compete with in town. The host at the B&B was attentive to any needs of ours and spoke well for local interests. On her recommendation, we dined at an excellent restaurant. We enjoyed the older house and were surprised how peaceful it could be tucked in so close to attractions. We did not need to use our auto for the duration of our stay (two days). Additionally, the breakfast served felt as though it was prepared with intention as though we were truly valued guests. We normally like to have new experiences wherever we visit so we would likely try another location on our next visit but this B&B provided an experience that would warrant a return visit. Comfortable bed, excellent pillows.

What an incredible place! We were booked for three nights in the blue bird room when the day of traveling Lily called me to say that a previous guest had ruined the toilet and she would need to move us while she waited for a plumber. We were open to using the comparable cardinal room and let her know this. When we arrived she greeted us as we pulled in and said that she had moved us to the larger mockingbird room! She'd even provided some lovely sparkling cider for me and my pregnant wife to enjoy.Breakfasts in the morning were utterly delightful and the numerous streaming options on the TV made the evening after trekking around San Antonio all day feel like home(there were even snacks and popcorn to go with it). Being so close to Alamo st which has a number of restaurants and near an entrance to the riverwalk made this an even better location. It might be a while before we return to San Antonio but we will be sure to tell our friends to try and stay here. The hospitality was 10/10!
