The staff (Marah!) was very nice! We hung out together and I got the best tips for food and places to see. They also organise fun activities during the evening (like a food/game/movie night) and their facilities are very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was also very nice on the roof top terrace!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Best hostel I ever stayed! It is located in a beautiful building with a rooftop terrace. There are common areas to work, read and chat. The whole place has a very chill vibe and everyone was super friendly. No crazy parties or loud noises. And the rooms are super spacious. They also have events every evening. I wish all hostels were like this.

    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!).
