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!

Located in Amman, The Cabin provides air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. Providing a shared lounge, the property is located within 7 km of US Embassy. Hashem Restaurant is 69 m away and Temple of Hercules and the Roman Corinthian Column is 2.2 km from the hostel.

The hostel is in the beating heart of the city. Restaurants, shops, famous sites are within walking distance. I was alone in a room with 3 beds, so I have plenty of space :D The bathroom was clean, the water was hot, they had a hair dryer, that was all I needed. Me and my friends even had a shisha at the rooftop in the evening, that was awesome :) The receptionist boy was super nice! He let my friends stay with me until their night flight, he even gave them towels to take a shower, and ordered a car to the airport for them :) The other day he recommended me a good restaurant, ordered an Uber for me as well, and even escorted me to the driver. This is what I call a wonderful host! Thank you! :)

With a private bathroom equipped with a shower and a hairdryer, certain units at the hostel also have a city view. At Nomads Hotel, all rooms are equipped with air conditioning and a safety deposit box.

--Literally everything --Rooms are clean, and with toilet and shower inside --Huge locker free of extra charge inside the room --Everybody is really friendly and helpful. I'd never seen such shared attitude among all staff in another hostel before. Always willing to help you with any question/request --The common area is clean, provide water and tea, great to meet people and do some work --They do read your "special requests" you write before your arrival (I´ve noticed that unfortunately few places really care about these. Nomads do) --Location is perfect, just between Rainbow street (3 minutes) and Downtown (6 minutes)

    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!).
