Going to Jordan was a lifetime dream for my sister and myself, we choose the Sydney Hotel in Amman because of the excellent reviews, and this hotel was fantastic, the hotel rooms were really large and had everything we needed and we had a balcony! The Location was great, as it was only 5 min walk into the centre of Annam, where all the restaurants were, and shops galore. The most impressive thing about this hotel were the staff, they were warm and friendly and spoke really good English, they helped us with great tours at really good prices, and every question or query, they helped us with, they are really exceptional people, who definitely made our holiday in Amman epic. We would love to go back to this hotel just to see the Staff, thank you so much to Rhaphat, Yara, and all of the lovely staff, including our tour driver Youssef.

“Perfect base for Downtown Amman”

Excellent hostel with a range of room options (we stayed in a private room with a balcony and on suite). The place is spotlessly clean and is in a fantastic location in Downtown Amman, easy walking distance to the local souks, The Hashemite Plaza (Roman Theatre), and Amman Citadel.

Excellent hostel with a range of room options (we stayed in a private room with a balcony and on suite). The place is spotlessly clean and is in a fantastic location in Downtown Amman, easy walking distance to the local souks, The Hashemite Plaza (Roman Theatre), and Amman Citadel. A 5min taxi ride (or very hilly 30min walk!) west gets you to the beautiful King Abdullah I Mosque and wonderful Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts. We included breakfast in our reservation, which was a delicious traditional Jordanian affair of bread, hummus, salad, eggs etc which we’d highly recommend for setting you up for the day. This is an ideal base for backpackers and those of us looking for a more local experience than the big chain hotels. The hotel is social, but not loud. A washing machine is available if your stay lands on a laundry day and there’s a lovely outside terrace area. Reception was 24/7 which is very helpful if like us, you’re arriving on one of the late night UK flights. The staff were always friendly and approachable, always available for any questions or help you may need. We already had our itinerary planned, but the team is able to organise a range of tours, day trips and activities for very reasonable prices. We arranged to have our rental car dropped off here on our second to last day so we could day trip over to Iraq al-Amir and As-Salt (both very worth your time). There’s a limited amount of parking directly outside the hostel, but plenty of spots on the street. The hotels website includes a blog post which provides incredibly helpful advice on where to park (if you’d like this in advance). We found it was only during the day that it was busy, with ample spots early in the morning and evening. We really appreciated the donation box to help feed the local street cats (who were all lovely!) and as with everywhere else we visited in Jordan, we felt safe and very well looked after. We’d highly recommend Sydney Hotel as your Amman base.

Stayed here twice with a girlfriend First visit separate single rooms, one much plusher than the other, although with a tiny shower but had a fridge Other room was apparently noisy Second visit, twin room facing the front, but had a balcony. It depends on how you book re breakfast, so friend chose to pay or it was included and found it to be more than adequate Left our bags for a fee, to head to Petra and Wadi Rum. Definitely a good idea. Booked a trip to Dead Sea, it wasn’t cheap but nothing is in Jordan and saved a lot of mucking around. Found the guys at the front desk to be warmer on our return. They will gladly engage if you have any questions Have a washing machine, again a fee, bonus. Also booked a car to pick us on arrival….arranged our own cheaper taxi to go back to Airport.
