“Kindest people ever”
The Staff welcomed us with warmth and friendliness, offering is food as soon as we arrived because it was Iftar, right after Ramadan fast. They were always available for all different needs we had, and we couldn't ask for a better staff.

The location is really good. It's in a quite side street but within 5 minutes you are in the rainbow street or within 10 minutes in downtown. The host Hussam is very cool and caring. We spend two evenings outside talking and drinking tea, while he and his friend explained us about Jordan. I definitely recommend it, especially if you look forward to get in touch with other people or sleep in a fair priced home stay in the center of Amman!

I initially reserved for only one night, but ended up staying nearly a week. Traditional guesthouse, with the social aspects of hostel life mixed with yoyr own private space, for the best price in Amman. Also the host Hussam is something of a micro celebrity among expats in Amman, his hospitality was incredible. I look forward to coming back some day!

The property was extremely cosy and the location is just perfect for any visitor of Amman. What made the stay extraordinary is the amazing hospitality and kindness of the property managers, especially Houssem and abu ilyes who made me feel like home! 100% recommend
