Top Philosophers' Rock Hotel Reviews

The Carpenter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"As a solo traveller and my first time in Austin, I’m so happy with my choice to stay at Cambria! Location was fantastic, the hotel was a really cool vibe and the Bluetooth mirror was the cherry on top!"

The Code Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly staff, clean room! We had some construction happening in the room next door but the crew finished around 5/6PM so it was not a big deal for us. Our stay was comfortable and we would stay here again."

The LINE Austin

10/10 Excellent

"Always stay at the line. Their room service could use some improvement but nothing that takes away from the great stay."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Austin Capitol / Downtown

8/10 Good

"We needed a room for the night and it served its purpose."

Omni Austin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, comfortable, well sized rooms. Good pillows."

Fairmont Austin

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful place the Fairmont Austin is. We had two separate reservations due to one being a family event, and one for a birthday. They were able to accommodate it and make sure that the room did not need to be moved. Also they surprised us with a cake and drinks to celebrate the birthday. I will highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Austin."

Tommie Austin, part of Jdv by Hyatt

8/10 Good

"Service, valet, luggage storage, restaurant, pool, and coffee shop was excellent. Location excellent. The rooms: find what you consider important below. The tommie had small rooms and bathrooms with limited places to keep luggage which made it crowded for two people. The bathroom had the drain on the other side of the shower door and towards the toilet which caused the water to collect on the floor making dry feet difficult after a shower. There was a wood stand to stand on to help, but was awkward. There was no bathroom fan so all the moisture stayed in the bathroom and room for some time. There has to be a mold problem at some point in the future. Perhaps this is a trade off from the Thompson side with bigger rooms."

The Loren Hotel Austin, WorldHotels Luxury

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location, the beds were comfortable and the restaurants were convenient and good"
