"Third top rate stay @ Hotel Contessa"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 08, 2026 NEW
This is the third time that I have stayed at one of my favorite hotels in San Antonio, the Hotel Contessa. The front desk is always pleasant, but this time Nadja made my stay better than ever. First, her polite manor and smile made me feel at home. Then, she checked in with me during my stay to make sure my visit was one of my best. Adan, Shirley, and Tara served me with respect, passion, and humor. Thank you. The Contessa remains my favorite place to stay on the Riverwalk…I will return. I wish all of the a great 2026!
