Popular budget hotel in downtown Amman. Rooms are pretty basic (wi-fi is only in the common areas), and things could be cleaner, but the fridges are a nice touch, and it's a popular place to meet like-minded travellers. There's a decent restaurant on the ground floor and a roof terrace where some rather sad-looking rabbits run free under foot.
