Top Philosophers' Rock Hotel Reviews

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

".Amazing"

The LINE Austin

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property in a great location."

Omni Austin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Recently stayed here in October for a five day trip. Overall, the hotel was excellent and beautiful. Some disappointments were: uncomfortable beds, difficult to connect to wifi, and no bar service at the rooftop pool except on weekends. Also, there was a DJ playing techno/dance music in the lobby at 10AM on the weekend and with the time difference from our original, this was not appreciated at all. However, the service was great, room was clean and beautiful, restaurant was very good and the fitness Center was well equipped."
