Farah Hotel Reviews

We stayed in Farah 2 nights on the way to Petra and further south. Farah has a really good location, close to sights (i.e. Roman Theatre), restaurants (famous Hashem), etc. There are many other hostels in the area, which is handy when it comes to sourcing others to share a taxi/trip to sights, etc. It takes a looong while to get hot water and cleaning -wise they could do better, not sure if sheets were clean. It's an OK hostel for backpackers, you get what you pay for.

The bathrooms could have used a good scrubbing, but they weren't unsanitary. The lounge was very nice. Breakfast was good, but could have used some fruit. Free WIFI was excellent. It's only at 5 star places where they make you pay extra!

There isn't hot water 24 hrs as I expected. Just from 7 to 9 in the morning. The toilets were dirty and the room was smelly. So not a nice place to stay, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

You get what you pay for with this hostel. The staff was accommodating when I asked to be moved to another room that had heat. I didn't think I'd be able to shower in the facilities due to the lack of heat, so I moved hostels after only 1 night. Another thing that concerned me was there were a lot of local men hanging out and smoking in the common room, and that didn't make me feel very welcome as a solo female traveler.

Hotel is on as silent place as you can be in the center of downtown in Amman. Walking distance to historical places and souqs. Staff was very nice and talked English very well. Breakfast buffet was plain, but ok. Room had good heater and there was always hot water, which is important in the winter. Furniture and colors were ugly. Everything still worked which was good.

The staff were fantastic and well informed. The lovation was great - very central. This is a winter review: the rooms were unheated and cold and even the lounge was not well heated.

Great location in downtown and near the Citadel and Roman Ampitheather. Room didn't have heating so very cold. Breakfast was bread and jam. Wifi was given to me for free but asked to pay 2 JOD on departure.

Everything was good. The onsuite bathrooms were a bit small, but we used the shared bathrooms that was more spacious. Overall,......it was a good stay, and Rania arranged good trips.

The hotel offered us a great welcome into Jordan after picking us up at the airport. It is within easy reach of all the main sights of Amman and is smack in the centre of town. Rooms are good for the price; the beds are comfy and warm and the showers all dispense warm water. If you're looking for added comfort, you need to look at the hotels further out of town, but this ultimately is a great base for exploring the city and getting some rest afterwards.

I loved Farah Hotel!!! if you go to Amman, you MUST stay there! the owner is very friendly and amazing.! very friendly and good atmosphere. I stayed here in Dec and than came back for another night in January.. and i highly recommend it to anyone. The owner ( i forgot his name) cooked me a delicious lunch , and i just had a great time there
