The Sydney Hotel

Amazing experience at Sydney Hotel and with our driver Youssef

The Sydney Hotel was an excellent place to stay in the city of Amman. It’s in a fantastic location, perfect for walking to all the main sights in the old town. We stayed in the room with bunk beds, and the cleanliness was impeccable, everything smelled great. The hotel staff were always very helpful, and the breakfast was delicious.

AMAZING HOTEL AND STAFF AT SYDNEY HOTEL

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. 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.

Location is good. I was able to park tight in ft I nt of hotel

Very clean place. The bad only thing is that dont have elevators, but the ownwer are very welcoming and helpful.

We’re digital nomads in the tourism sector and went from a 5 star hotel in Amman (as we were working) to booking in to The Sydney hotel. We haven’t stayed in a place like this since backpacker days but the reviews kept saying wonderful so we thought we’d check it out. And it was instant regret! We wished we had of stayed here instead of being on 5 star for our entire trip in Amman. From the warm greetings, helpful suggestions on tours, local eateries to their delicious breakfast. This place wins hands down for those warm family vibes you need when you’re so far across the world. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou.

Outstanding Breakfast

Very welcoming experience. Staff were very helpful. Great food (Outstanding Breakfast). The hotel is located in the heart of the downtown area, and within walking distance to many main attractions.

It was great for me and my famly, 4 beds.Very clean and staff were friendly.Short drive to many of Ammans top sites. The parking was limited since its street parking

Hotel Sydney - Amman, Jordan I recently stayed at Hotel Sydney in Amman and had a pleasant experience. The hotel is basic yet clean and tidy, making it a great option for budget-conscious travelers. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite, always willing to assist with any queries or requests. One of the standout features is its fantastic location — conveniently close to various shops, restaurants, and local attractions. Notably, major sites like The Citadel are nearby; however, I’d recommend taking a taxi to get there since it's situated on top of a mountain. Fortunately, taxis are affordable and readily available. Additionally, the hotel offers car hire, day tours, and airport transfer services, which adds great convenience for those looking to explore the city or travel further afield. Overall, if you're looking for a comfortable, no-frills stay in a prime location with excellent service and helpful travel options, Hotel Sydney is a solid choice. One negative the hotel is based on a junction and Jordanian drivers do like to honk there horns
