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.

This is a wonderful, clean, new and modern hostel/hotel. The room had a huge comfortable bed and free tea & coffee in the room, free drinking water fountain in reception. The bathroom shower was great. The reception staff were lovely. The breakfast was just AMAZING. Way more than the usual basic breakfast. A great place to treat ourselves to a mini luxury at the end of our trip. There is a board where you can search for friends to organise a day trip (e.g to dead Sea) but we ended up just taking Uber for 25.5 JD each way.

Owner was very warm and friendly, gave some great tips for things to do, kindly allowed us to come back to eat and rest on the sun terrace after we'd checked out. Gave clear instructions to bring earplugs given that Amman is noisy. The location was beautiful with a lot of greenery around, as was the whole hostel, the room was very pretty, and the view from the roof was amazing.

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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!).
