Top Philosophers' Rock Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Austin/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great. Only downside is that there is no parking. $45 for valet seems a little expensive."

citizenM Austin Downtown

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for our first time Thursday-Saturday. Check in was easy, you do it yourself and staff are around for any questions. Room is small which was expected but didn’t feel too small for 2 people. Great vibe. I appreciated that there was board games, tvs in common areas. My only complaints would be that the pool closes at 8:30 which i think is a bit early. I feel like they could’ve at least kept it open until 9, if not later. Also, everything is controlled through an iPad in the room including the AC. i tried to put it on high since the moment i got to the room and it would get slightly cooler then go back to feeling a little stuffy. I did bring this up to the staff the following morning which they stated there was an issues with the AC and it had already been resolved however if we wanted a fan in the room they could provide us with one which we did take the offer. There was a $20 hold fee on the fan for the night which was no problem as they gave it back when we checked out the following day. The fan did help and we slept way better the 2nd night. Also, use spothero for parking! got 2 days with in/outs at a parking garage near by and only paid about $22. in the end, i do recommend this place to others and would gladly stay again in the future!"

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The Pool was absolutely beautiful. The food was fantastic. We had breakfast and lunch and no complaints. The lobby was so relaxing, I had coffee and relaxed every morning for at least an hour and it was so welcoming. My only suggestion is regarding the pool side ordering system. The QR code didn’t provide you with full options from the bar or details about the signature drinks. On the first day a bar at the pool was set up and that was perfect but it was never up again the rest of the weekend. Also, the ice machine on my floor was out for a days. However, those small things wouldn’t stop me from staying here again. I absolutely loved it. Also, Rainey Street was literally behind the hotel! I loved the little food truck area and the music!"

The Code Hotel

8/10 Good

"Before our check-in, I sent an email but never received a response, despite receiving a message encouraging us to reach out if we needed anything or had any questions. During our stay, our room didn’t have any ice. When we asked the front desk for some, the staff member who helped us had an unfriendly attitude, which was disappointing. Other than that, everything was wonderful. The room was great, the beds were extremely comfortable, and everything was clean and well-maintained. Every other staff member we encountered was friendly and welcoming, and we truly enjoyed our stay."
