I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Philosophy—a boutique gem right in downtown Amman. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, even accommodating late check‑our and luggage assistance . The lobby and rooms sport a fresh, modern décor that feels stylish yet welcoming

“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.

Location of the hotel is great for Downtown - a hike up to Rainbow Street but easy back down. Decent breakfast and lovely rooftop bar for a last drink before bed. Rooms were clean and comfortable and very good value.

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.
