Hotel Otto

We really enjoyed our stay for 6 nights (aha). We were in Fort Worth for a wedding and the rehearsal dinner was at Jemelle. My BFF suggested we stay here, and I booked a container right away. The staff was incredible!! Warm, accommodating and eager to please. Robyn, Lily and Josie are THE best! I'm extremely grateful to all 3 gals for being so gracious each day. Huge shout out to Robyn especially when she stepped up at lightning speed to solve a little issue with our bed sheets. Yes, the container itself is quite small for two, but nevertheless super FUN, very clean, nicely furnished and definitely a unique experience:) LUV the roof top as well.The free drinks included with our stay were an unexpected BONUS!The food at Jemelle is next level and I'm not an Italian foodie like so many. I highly recommend this boutique Hotel and the yummy dishes at Gemelle!

We stayed one night here while going to the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. It was okay, not as great as I expected from the website and pictures. Their main priority and focus seems to be the restaurant and the "hotel" is a side business. The lady who checked us in, Lily, was great when we found her at the bar - the emails did not explain where to check - and she explained to us that it is more of an Airbnb feel as there will not be staff on site unless the restaurant is open. After we checked in, we each got a complimentary drink and Lily lead us to our shipping container room. We also got a complimentary Aperol Spritzer package in our room, which was cute.Hotel Otto is very cute, but the upkeep is not great for how cute it is... for example, the container we stayed in had scratches or stains on basically all of the walls and if they cleaned them and didn't have as much stuff in there, it would give the inside the same feel as how cute the outside is. I feel this shows the care and attention is lacking which is sad for how cool this could be. We also noticed that the plug to the reading light was broken and just had wires hanging out behind the bed. The mattress topper was so soft you just sink into the bed or roll into your significant other, same with the pillows. The heater took us a minute to figure out and then took forever to warm up the room (we stayed in early February). The shade on the front window was broken and we could not raise or lower them all the way so when we laid down to sleep, we had a sliver of light from the string lights outside that stay on all night and with the wind, they just sparkled like stars ALL NIGHT! We could never get the internet to work with the passwords provided and the TV didn't work. All in all, the inside was cute but not kept up by the staff in a way we believe a hotel or Airbnb should be. If all you are looking for is aesthetics and instagram pictures, then this is very cute with the roof top hang out and the fact you are staying in a shipping container but if you are looking for a nice, relaxing or romantic night, I would suggest somewhere else.

Second time guest - Love , love , love it here. So happy they could accomodate me on such short notice after fleeing a janky air b & b. Friends joined me at Gemelle and the food was amazing and wine and cocktails fantastic. Only wish is that the weather was warmer so i could have enjoyed their beautiful pool and patio.

Highly recommend for couples. Quite small relaxing and very private. Loved the complimentary drinks at check in & upper deck. 10/10 the pool area could've been a little neater but it was still enjoyable

We decided to meet family in town from Chicago and needed a place to stay. I booked 3 days in advance and was able to pick my room. I read reviews and browsed picture prior to arriving to the property so I knew what to expect for the room. What I didn't know.....While booking I let Hotel Otto know we would arrive around 8. We live just north of Houston and I had already planned to host a market & Easter event that same day until 3pm. We arrive at Hotel Otto/ Gemelle. There wasn't any parking available besides the 1 ADA spot and 15 minute check in parking. I took the check in parking. We walked around the front trying to figure out where to check into the hotel. The front door of Gemelle had a sign blocking the doors so we walked to the patio where the hostess greeted us. She directed us to the bar area for check in. We reach the bar area and we're greeted by two ladies. Both very nice. We arrived a little after 7, and I let them know I had made reservations at Gemelle for 8 (this was the latest Open table allowed). We arrived sweaty, sun burned and in the clothes we had been in all day for an outside event. We were given a tour of the property, told we get welcome drinks as well as there being ingredients in the room for Aperoll Spritz. She (I did not catch her name) asked if we needed anything else. I mentioned we wanted to do a fire so she grabbed a starter log and lighter and brought back to us. She also called me a few moments later and told us not to rush for reservations she moved them back. I was so thankful I was dying for a shower and to change. The rooms are cute, they are smaller than the average hotel room but they pack in all the amenities. It's a container so go in with the right expectations and you'll have a great time! The roof top deck is such a nice touch with the fire pit. We made it to Gemelle around 8:30 and what an experience we had! It was awesome! We over ordered and took a lot to go! The food was absolutely delicious and we hadn't eaten all day so we got a bit of everything to try. For my welcome drink I chose Season of the Witch YUMMM! My husband chose Roma I believe it was, he must have really enjoyed it because he ordered 3.We also ordered the Saturday special, margarita pizza, crispy chicken Alfredo, Cesar salad and garlic parmesan bread sticks. We took their gelato to go, so we could sit by the fire to eat. The hospitality was unmatched! Everyone was so nice! We will be back for sure! Next time we want to enjoy the pool and sun deck!

This is a very unique hotel. We stayed for 3 nights over new years eve weekend 2024. The staff is very nice and we had appetizers from the restaurant which were delicious. However the pillow toppers are way too soft for all of us. (we had 3 rooms) we took them off and stored under the bed. For being there for 3 days they should replenish the coffee pods daily as well as the ice if they want you to drink the liquor they provide and sodas etc. We enjoyed the complimentary Aperol Spritz poolside. It's a bit of gymnastics to get over your significant other to go to the restroom as the bed is against the wall. The rooftop was fun to sit in the sun and then watch fireworks on new years eve.

Do NOT stay at the hotel. Air conditioner does not cool the room no matter how many hours you leave it running, spider in room, bathroom floor filthy, grounds around room not maintained, cob webs, etc. Pool area swarming with wasps, you'll spend your "leisurely" time swatting them away. The parking lot is disgusting, we should have turned around and left before we ever checked in TBH! Hotel is in less than desirable location, LOCK-UP everything if you know what I mean!!! Hotel staff does not care about your experience, has not returned one call or email I sent them before posting this! I would NEVER recommend this filthy place to anyone!!!

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Otto and ate at Gemelle on 12/28/24.We were on time for our 6:45p reservation, and there were delays on every course - appetizers, pasta, and dessert. We waited 30 minutes for our appetizer, and our server came to apologize and let us know there was a problem with the pizza dough and it was being remade - but there was never any offer to comp any element of the meal.Then, at 1 AM, we heard a barrage (approximately 14) of gunshots outside our room. It was loud, and scary enough for us to immediately pack our bags and leave the hotel at approximately 1:15 AM. There is no member of the Hotel Otto staff on premises after the restaurant closes so there was no one for us to speak with about this issue that evening. We called the hotel the next morning, and were told that a manager needed to call us back the next day. There was no attempt to contact us for almost 5 days - after which I called and finally spoke with someone. The manager attempted to downplay our fears, and chalk the noise up to fireworks.After a back and forth about the disappointing experience at the restaurant and the distressing evening at the hotel, the Hotel Otto staff is refusing a refund (claiming their contracted agreements prohibits reimbursements) and has offered a 50% discount to return to the hotel for a re-do. Suffice to say we will not be spending any more money for them to attempt to make this right with us.

Fantastic place with fantastic people. we loved everything about it including the room and the food. So glad it was recommended to us as we will be back every time we go to Ft. Worth! Great job!

Overall, my boyfriend and I left satisfied with our stay at Hotel Otto. When we arrived it was raining so we were not given much of a tour, which is understandable. I do wish, however, we were offered umbrellas when they were taking us to our room as we got soaked during that time. Upon arrival to our room, the rug was soaked, and the entire floor was damp with water coming up between each piece of the vinyl flooring. It remained this way the entirety of our stay.We did opt in for the dinner+movie date night package. We made our complimentary Aperol Spritz, which was nice, but we never received our complimentary bottle of champagne, like advertised. Our dinner at Gemelle's was fantastic. All of the food was delicious, and the drinks were spot on. Once we got back to our room, we had a small bowl of popcorn (wish there was more) and 2 small boxes of candy for us to enjoy. The hotel otto staff never contacted us beforehand to have snacks that suit our taste, like advertised. We also got breakfast in bed the following morning since it was a bit cold outside. The breakfast was alright. I found it to be very pricey for what was offerred. It also was not a traditional pancakes and waffles kind of breakfast. It was $70 for breakfast for 2 people.If we come back, we are unlikely to do the movie+dinner package as I feel like what was offered was not worth our money. However, we will be eating at Gemelle's again as it was outstanding!
