Layaali Hostel

Very good location, if you are a tourist. Across the street you can find one of the main landmarks of Amman, The Roman Theater. The Citadel is also at walking distance (take care, is an uphill road, combined with many steps. Also, at walking distance is a huge comercial area made up of several streets full of shops (the merchandise are exposed even on the sidewalks, several souks (food markets) where you can buy vegetables, fruits, sweets, spices, meat or simply just walk around for the show. At a few minutes away there are several small fast-food restaurants where you can try local food. The famous Rainbow street (a disappoin**ent) is also at about 20-25 minutes away (again, uphill, with steps). The hotel is not very big, it has 4 floors (there is an elevator) and a rooftop terrace, where there are a few tables. The view from here is beautiful. The room was bigger than I expected, clean (cleaning is done and towels are changed daily, more often than necessary). The room has air conditioning, a small refrigerator (useful, if you want to keep your beer cold :) ). There is also a TV, personally I didn't need it, I don't know what programs were available. There is a very small balcony with a beautiful view of the street and the Roman Theater. You can pay by card at the reception, but I don't advise you to do that, there is a huge fee when paying by card. Well, high commissions are also charged for currency exchange, so you have to choose between two bad options... The staff at the reception is very kind, they speak English well and are always ready to help you with information. A plus for Christine, with whom I personally interacted the most and who helped me with a lot of information about the city and suggestions about what I could visit. If you want day trips, you can ask for it at the reception. They have a partner agency called Localtrips (the same owner as the hotel), which organizes excursions. I have private day trips to Petra, Ajloun +Jarash and DeaSea + Ma'in Hotsprings. Everything was very well organized. The hotel also provides transfer from and to the airport. Breakfast, included in the accommodation price, is the same every day, OK, but nothing spectacular: boiled eggs, omelette, hummus, bruschetta, olives, a kind of local salami, broadbeans, salad, tomatoes, cucumbers, 3 or 4 types of bread, a few types of jam, some mini-pancakes, about 3 types of local sweets (soaked in honey or sugar syrup), two types of juice, tea and coffee. The staff, very kind. Good Wi-Fi in the room. A minus would be the street noise, for the rooms facing the street. The street is constantly extremely crowded. It is counterbalanced by the beautiful view.

1. Near the downtown, Roman theater and Amman citadel. 2. Good staff. All can speak English. Breakfast is nice. 3. You can get 5 things in the fridge everyday for free. 4. Clean, spacious and quiet room. 5. Good price.

Good stuff and service, the hotel close to the downtown amman and close to markets and restaurants, the hotel overlooks the Roman amphitheater. The breakfast is delicious and there are many options. And they clean i like and I recommend it.

Stayed one night, perfect location in the downtown. You can reach all the reccomended atraction by walk. Frendly staff, nice breakfast, clean room. Chef Ali and Chef Mama served delicious brekfast for us.

The hotel is in Amman center. Old building with bare floors. and bare room it has no place to hang your clothes. It has a balcony not very clean. it has 2 hooks on the wall No coffee or tea facility shower is very small just enough for one person standing, Breakfasts very poor. staff at front office are excellent and they are equal to five-star Hotel I thank all of them. I commend them.

Layaali Amman I highly recommend this hotel for anyone who travels to Amman and is looking for a clean, beautiful hotel, with delicious breakfast and conveninently located in the city center just across the Roman Theater. The rooms were spacious and the view of the sunset behind the Roman Theater was breathtaking! The breakfast was very rich and the waffles added a nice touch to it. Make sure you ask for a room with a street view. Don’t forget to alsk check the hotel’s rooftop, the view from there is absolutely breathtaking. The hotel is conveniently located at a walking distance to the main attractions in Amman. I would highly recommend it to my friends and I would definitely stay there again.

Very well situated opposite the Roman amphitheater near to Main Street and restaurants.Excellent staff especially Christine who was very helpful and kind. Able to get trips organised from here and taxi to and from airport. Good breakfast as well.
