Liked: Staff & service
I have booked a single room for my second stay and the check-in service is better than my first stay. There was no towel in my room so I had to inform the reception and the towel was not readily available. I had to leave early for my morning flight and unfortunatley, no other option for me to take the breakfast included in the room as the breakfast is only available from 7 in the morning.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
As I was arriving late in the evening and I had an early pick-up for a tour, I decided to book this hostel (shared room) which I think is economical - I basically just stayed for a couple of hours to freshen up after my flight, had an hour or two nap, and left. There was a confusion around the room I booked and so I had to wait a very long time to get things sorted. Someone was already sleeping on my assigned bed, so I had to take another bed.

I thought it was an awesome place! They do everything to make sure you feel comfortable. I stayed in a shared room with a few other guys and it was very quiet the whole time, enough to be able to sleep.

Budget hotel in Amman

This is a one star hotel, so don’t expect luxury. However they are walking distance to the hustle and bustle. Also near the citadel, Roman theater and local market. I’d only recommend they get new towels. The current ones are worn out.

Wonderful budget option in downtown Amman

The staff is very kind and helpful. This is a budget hotel, so do not expect luxury, but for it what it is, the value is great. The breakfast is also pretty wonderful. And they have a cute cat. They can also arrange trips for tourists/suggest itineraries. The service in the lobby leaves nothing to be desired.

Best budget hotel in Amman

My go-to hotel when I’m in Amman; the only thing that’s ever wrong is when they’re booked up and I can’t get a room. Super-helpful staff, terrific rooms at great prices, good breakfasts, handy location.
