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 grill.

Carob is a fantastic place to stay in Amman! Hot showers, laundry machines available to use with a small fee, restaurant if you'd like to buy brekkie/coffee, and walkable to downtown and the Citadel. More importantly, the staff at Carob is amazing - extremely friendly and helpful! Abed helped me plan out my trip to Petra and Wadi Rum through Jett bus and saved me a ton of money not having to book a private tour or driver. Communication with the team was easy via WhatsApp and I couldn't be more grateful, thank you for making my time in Amman smooth and delightful!

The Boutique Hotel Amman, hotel in Amman

Centrally located in downtown Amman only a 10-minute walk from the Roman Amphitheater. Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas. The rooms are air-conditioned.

The room was comfortable despite its petite size. We were in room 102 and observed 103 looked a bit bigger and more comfortable (we saw it when it was being cleaned). The staff were all very polite and welcoming. The breakfast was good...I was impressed they had bread on offer as well as a toaster! You have to ask for butter though. The sitting area was very comfortable and a beautiful spot to be. The location of the hotel was amazing because we were so close to coffee shops like Starbucks (did not expect to see a Starbucks in Jordan!) places to eat, tourist shops, a post office, and a reasonable walking distance to sites. I would stay here again because of how convenient it was. Parking right next to the hotel is recommended (the lot to the right of the entrance charges 3 JOD a day while the ones to the left and across charge 5 JOD).

    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!).
