Arab Tower Hotel (Burj Al Arab), Amman, Jordan

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

We stayed in Amman for two nights. We visited the citadel and had a look around the Amphitheatre while we were there and the hotel was an easy walk from all of the locations that we visited. The location is thus the best feature of the Arab Tower Hotel (once you know where to find it, as it is tucked in and not too obvious to find, however this was not a problem as any taxi driver will be able to find it for you).

The second best feature (and an important one) was the attitude of the staff. They were friendly and helpful throught our stay there and even prepared us a breakfast for when we left to go to Petra (a 5.45AM checkout!).

To conclude the Burj Al-Arab:

A budget (representing good value for money) hotel with a central location in the city and perfect for a couple of nights in Amman.

Good location for a base to do day trips; the staff organised tours for us although the tours are not available everyday and sometimes we were told last minute that it was not available (because they couldn't fill 4 spaces in a taxi). Rooms were basic, cold in the winter nights and shower was not great.

I spent one week in Amman, and my stay at Burj al Arab was just great. I am quite a seasoned traveler, and I rarely leave feedback online unless I am really impressed by some place I stay in. In this case, I have to say that Burj al Arab was a perfect place for my days in Amman: the hotel is located right in the most vibrant area of downtown Amman, a few minutes away from the Roman Theater and the Nymphaeum. It is therefore in a perfect position to explore what I think is the most authentic atmosphere of the city.
My room was basic but clean, with a fridge well equipped with snacks and drinks, powerful (but discreet) A/C, and free WiFi.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, speaking very good English, constantly providing precious hints about the best places to visit, and the cheapest way to reach them.
One day that I woke up too late for breakfast (which is included, by the way!), they invited me to eat some delicious Arab food with them in the lobby.
So, summing up, I can definitely recommend Burj al Arab to anyone visiting Amman and looking for a cheap but still very good accommodation.
