With a private bathroom equipped with a shower and a hairdryer, certain units at the hostel also have a city view. At Nomads Hotel, all rooms are equipped with air conditioning and a safety deposit box.

Friendly clean hostel, best in Amman according to all the recommendations we have received. Desk at reception was with staff presence throughout day and night and we received maps and good recommendations. It also felt very safe yet still friendly and open. They accept people from all nationalities, and that's really important for us. Rooftop is amazing too :)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    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!).
