“I recently stayed at Philosophy Hotel in Amman and it truly exceeded my expectations. The rooms are modern, spotless, and beautifully designed, with thoughtful touches that make you feel at home. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always ready with recommendations about the city. The location is perfect too — close to trendy cafes, shops, and historical sites. I can’t wait to come back!”

Cozy boutique hotel in central location

This cozy boutique hotel is conveniently located in downtown Amman. It’s on a slight slope (just a few meters) on a quieter street but very close to the night markets and downtown within a short walk. Rainbow Street is a short walk away too. It feels safe to walk around. If you drive, there seems to be a few (very limited) street parking reserved in front of the hotel (but unsure if it belongs to the hotel or not since I didn’t park near the hotel). The room is spacious and stylist. Beds are comfy and room is clean. Recommend for your Amman stay and easy to checkout the nearby sightseeing spots either by walk or taxis.

Nice interior design, clean and safe. On day where night club is going (Thursday) you can hear the base even my room is 2 floors below. I was told there's a restaurant at lowest floor, but cannot find it? Internet was weak at times. But overall is a nice place.

Great stay in downtown Amman

Hotel Philosophy was a great find for our stay in Amman. Very friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms. Very close to Downtown Amman and there is free street parking right in front of the hotel for those who’ve rented a car. 10/10 would recommend.

Hotel philosophy..THE BEST!!

Hotel philosophy was far beyond what we could have expected and asked for! Staff is very friendly and accomodating. Hotel is clean and in great shape. Showers are hot and water pressure excellent. Beds are very comfortable. Dont get me started on the rooftop bar/restaurant. I consider myself a better than good cook. The food was fantastic! Several items i have to try to replicate at home. Bartender again was super friendly and attentive. Owner ofc the establishment was up there eating dinner with his family and he was super nice! The location is excellent. Nearbanything you might need. Close to a large street market and historical sights. Needless to say, i cannot recommend this place enough. 12 out of 10!! Do yourself a favor and stay here.

A design-forward hotel with comfortable rooms

Lovely new hotel in the downtown area, close to the Grand Mosque, the Citadel, and Rainbow Street. The room was well-appointed, bed was comfortable and the bathroom compact but with a great shower. The decor is on the funky side which makes the property a lot of fun. The restaurant is serves well-prepared food and serves wine, beer and spirits as well. Breakfast was decent if you eat eggs or cheese, but if you don't there isn't anything besides a croissant with butter and jam. I'd suggest adding a yogurt option to round out the menu. I had asked question before we arrived on a question about the reservation and the person who checked us in was very helpful in resolving the question. Hair dryer should be a better quality as it overheated and stopped after 5 minutes of use. We'd certainly return for another stay.

Great hotel but not Jordanian hospitality

A beautiful hotel in the heart of Amman. Very well located not far from Rainbow Street (although uphill!) On checking in we were warmly greeted & were so impressed with the room. Very large, comfy bed, very modern furnishings, the most modern / new in all our stay around Jordan. Unfortunately we had a mishap the following morning. We were told breakfast was from 7-12 in the restaurant downstairs. On going down at 7am, no one was there at all, it was dark & chairs were on the tables. We went to reception to query this & had an awful experience of poor hospitality where we were told to just wait, the man doing breakfast wasn’t here yet. At 0710 we went down again, nothing. We went back to reception & were basically ignored. We needed to check out soon to catch a flight that morning. In the end we had a call from reception telling us the man was “on his way” (but not here yet) at 0715. We went to check out, the one receptionist stood outside smoking, saw us, ignored us. As we needed to catch our taxi we gave him our room card. He simply asked had we taken anything from the minibar! Which was quite amusing since we had paid for a breakfast that now we could not have due to their tardiness & unprofessionalism. Ultimately it was not the lack of breakfast that we had paid for but how it was dealt with by the man at reception with very little sympathy, as though nothing was out of the ordinary. A shame as otherwise a beautiful hotel, it was unfortunate to have that poor service.

Maybe it was just our room that made me not like this hotel. Yes, it is in a great location, with an amazing little cafe a 1 minute walk away, Shababeek Albalad Cafe. But, the room shape was weird and inconvenient. It wasn't now square or rectangular. This meant some areas were spacious, while you had to squeeze into other areas. The shower shape was the worst. Being only about 40 centimeters wide at the front, and maybe 70 centimeters at the back. This thin shower, combined with a shower curtain that hung several centimeters off the floor, combined for a awful shower where the bathroom floor gets soaked, even with towel on the floor, and the wet shower curtain keeps sticking to you as you try to shower. If other rooms have better, more functional designs, the hotel is worth staying in, if you can guarantee one of those rooms.
