Situated in Amman, 800 metres from Rainbow Street, Battuta Hostel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a concierge service and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests.

The reviews were right - this was a fantastic little hostel in a brilliant neighbourhood. A little away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, but still very easy to get to all the main sites. Most importantly the staff are WONDERFUL and the terrace is to die for. Worth trying the breakfast which is only a few JOD and joining one of the evening meals they organise. It is really a little gem of a place.

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.

    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!).
