The hotel is right in the heart of the city, surrounded by shops and close to the main attractions. The rooms vary from having balconies to shared or private bathrooms. The service is exceptional with a range of amenities available, though there might be some noise in the downtown area surrounding the hotel. The dining experience offers local Jordanian cuisine, but limited options such as burgers are available. Overall, a comfortable stay with great value for money.
