Bdeiwi Hostel is within walking distance to many attractions in Amman. Staff are very helpful. Bdeiwi can assist with gettin to attractions anywhere in Jordan. Airport transfers can be arranged. The hostel was difficult to locate. I do feel frustrated with the cigarette smoke coming from the main floor because I am used to a smoke free environment. The main floor could do with some sprucing up. Our room was clean when we arrived. I really enjoy listening to other travelers at hostel.

The hostel is situated in a very interested part of the city. It is quiet at night but just round the corner you find the most lively area of Amman: restaurants , shops, coffee shops , places of interest. The management is friendly and helpful. Two very talkative chaps. The rooms are large. It is small hotel with personality. At the top of the building you have a Bedouin tent called the Gaddafi’s tent that is delightful place to relax in the evening.

The hotel has just been taken over by new management. At the moment they are working really hard to update the place and its reputation. When we were here there weren't that many guests. But recently they put up a tent at the roof where you can sit at night. Also they were really helpful. When leaving to Dana (a must see in my opinion) we even got a ride over the kings highway.

FEMALES BEWARE! Welcome arrival as lone woman was free beer then staff taking bag to my room & trying to v physically persuade me I needed a massage. Took unacceptable number of assertive No's to send him off. Breakfast not included as promised -£2.50 a day. Added "tax" (plus deposit) to room price. FREEZING at night, no blanket. Only window was to hotel corridor, curtain didn't fit so no privacy. Communal area poor. Dark, dirty n dingy. Nice places as cheap nearby. In15yrs travel, worst place.

This hostel is ok. DO NOT trust the Canadian guy who works there. He ripped me off and overcharged my credit card. When I asked him to explain, he yelled at me. The owner s much nicer and apologized and refunded me. Don't order any meals or any excursions because they are cheaper elsewhere. Also, when I ordered breakfast, no one was there to serve it to me on the last day. If you notice, a lot of the other reviews are made by people who haven't reviewed any other hostels, these reviews are FAKE!

A good value choice. You get exactly what you pay for and you don't pay very much. Great value though and well located. Breakfast costs 2JD regardless of what room you are in.

Room was not at all clean (the sheets looked as though they had been used and not changed) and the bathroom was filthy. Airport pickup did not work (they forgot) and was significantly more expensive than just grabbing a cab at the airport (20jd) or the bus (~4jd / person).

I had a terrible experience at this hostel, with the owner making uncomfortable advances, in addition to a drunk airport pick-up. I witnessed a lot of scamming, which I suppose is not unusual either. I was charged a credit card fee without being told. All that is promised in the amenities is not actually true - including a charge for breakfast, no offer of wifi/internet when I had asked, and (literally) a trickle of hot water coming out of the showerhead. I guess you pay for what you get!

From the moment I walked into the Hostel, manager made me feel completely at home. I had so many questions regarding jordan Petra, Wadi Rum, places to stay, how to get from point A to point B, and other arbitrary inquiries, he was so helpful in answering everything. The location is great, clean ,hot water all time, lovely breakfast, the facilities are beyond satisfactory Perfect place to stay to see down town , please remember, you are staying in a hostel, not the Hilton:) highly recommended.

I came during the slow season. The staff are friendly and the other travelers were nice. I spent only a few hours there on my way to Petra. I had requested a pickup at the airport, but since I didn't get confirmation, I just assumed that it wasn't worth their time so instead of saying no, they just ignored my additional emails. anyhow, the place is safe. the shared bathroom is typical of budget hostels, so I can't complain. The water is hot, but a trickle. Recommended for short stays.

The owner of the hostel is very nice. He will play the same 4 songs over and over again, but thats because he loves them so much. He will make your stay in Jordan much nicer. It is clean enough. He uwill do airport pickup for good price. Location is more than good.

very pleasant. all you would want for a night or two. staff was friendly, and gave me extra blankets and a towel. the bed was actually incredibly comfortable, and under 3 thick blankets i slept better than i do in my own bed! the location is very central, easy to get to downtown, though it is up a very steep hill. the shower was less than ideal, but i mean, it cost 5 JD a night. the water was hot, but the pressure was just like a trickle. i'd stay here again for a night or two, not more i woul

The place is not the nicest, but it is what you expect for the price. The location is great very close to downtown Amman and Rainbow street. I was there while it was cold, don't know how bearable it will be when it is hot in the summer. There was a fan in every room though.

Since the new management has started to run the hostel it is under excellent people. They are incredibly helpful, hospitable, friendly and really look to turn the establishment into a top notch accomodation. I was here for a couple of nights and was treated very kindly and I was guided around the city as well as helped on excursions and tours to the sights of the country. The rates are more than reasonable and cleaning staff is very good. Airport pickup and transfer is Great!
