Carob Hostel features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Amman. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

The location was nicely a bit further from the hectic downtown. Also being up the hill allowed a nice sunset view! The common areas, kitchen, toilets and showers were all amazingly well kept. The staff was very helpful and organized us a private driver for entire day on one hour notice!

Owner was very warm and friendly, gave some great tips for things to do, kindly allowed us to come back to eat and rest on the sun terrace after we'd checked out. Gave clear instructions to bring earplugs given that Amman is noisy. The location was beautiful with a lot of greenery around, as was the whole hostel, the room was very pretty, and the view from the roof was amazing.

    Hands down the best hostel I have ever been. I have never come across a more helpful staff at a hostel. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the name of the spanish volunteer at the reception. But he was very helpful. He gave me almost an hour for bookings and itinerary. Common area is huge and amazing. Good vibe. We even had a weekly hostel dinner (for free). Highly recommended. Would also recommend it for staycation folks. Perfect place to work from and do your meetings.

    This hotel/hostel was in a great location: close to Rainbow Street and walkable to other main sites in Amman. The staff were friendly and helpful when we had questions. It felt safe. We stayed in Amman and went to and from the Dead Sea from here (if you need an amazing driver, please message professional driver Sadam on WhatsApp on +962 7 7727 7966 - he drove us all over Jordan for four days and was amazingly kind and professional and always on time!).
