Carob Hostel, hotel in Amman

Carob Hostel features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Amman. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a barbecue.

I rarely leave reviews but honestly this one really deserves it. Such friendly staff and so welcoming, they sent information about the hostel and travelling Jordan as soon as I booked which made me feel so much more at ease, especially as a female solo traveller. They arrange tours that are such good value and gave me the opportunity to meet others in the hostel too. The location is perfect (up a big hill, you can get a cheap uber if you don’t want to walk but I didn’t mind the short hike!) and so close to the main downtown. Decor of the hostel is really cute and artsy and though I visited in the winter I can imagine the outdoor courtyards and terrace are amazing in the summer. I really want to come back!

This place is perfect from every angle and you're treated as a family member from the moment you check in. It was a real pleasure to wake up to a breathtaking views of the city from my bed! Thank you for the traditional dinner you shared with me and for a trip to the Dead sea you provided. If I ever go back to Amman I will definitely book a stay here again 🙂 ☀️

    The hotel was very nice and extremely clean. We stayed in Rooms 313 and 219 and both rooms were clean, spacious, and had plenty of amenities. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Mr Mahmod at the main reception gave us a warm welcome and was very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The breakfast buffet had a vast array of delicious food. The hotel was safe and in a great location. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to visit Amman.

    This hotel/hostel was in a great location: close to Rainbow Street and walkable to other main sites in Amman. The staff were friendly and helpful when we had questions. It felt safe. We stayed in Amman and went to and from the Dead Sea from here (if you need an amazing driver, please message professional driver Sadam on WhatsApp on +962 7 7727 7966 - he drove us all over Jordan for four days and was amazingly kind and professional and always on time!).
