    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!).
