This is a hostel-like hotel. It has a dorm room (hostel) and separate rooms with own bathroom (hotel). I stayed in a separate rom. The room itself was good for the price. The bathroom was very small, I could barely fit in the shower.
If you are expecting hotel level service/amenities, you will not find them here. Breakfast is not included. They clean the room if you ask them to (there is a box where you can leave your room key and they will clean it throughout the day).
Overall, for the price it's a good option with great location and friendly staff.

Perfect base for Downtown Amman
Excellent hostel with a range of room options (we stayed in a private room with a balcony and on suite). The place is spotlessly clean and is in a fantastic location in Downtown Amman, easy walking distance to the local souks, The Hashemite Plaza (Roman Theatre), and Amman Citadel. A 5min taxi ride (or very hilly 30min walk!) west gets you to the beautiful King Abdullah I Mosque and wonderful Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts.
We included breakfast in our reservation, which was a delicious traditional Jordanian affair of bread, hummus, salad, eggs etc which we’d highly recommend for setting you up for the day.
This is an ideal base for backpackers and those of us looking for a more local experience than the big chain hotels. The hotel is social, but not loud. A washing machine is available if your stay lands on a laundry day and there’s a lovely outside terrace area. Reception was 24/7 which is very helpful if like us, you’re arriving on one of the late night UK flights.
The staff were always friendly and approachable, always available for any questions or help you may need. We already had our itinerary planned, but the team is able to organise a range of tours, day trips and activities for very reasonable prices.
We arranged to have our rental car dropped off here on our second to last day so we could day trip over to Iraq al-Amir and As-Salt (both very worth your time). There’s a limited amount of parking directly outside the hostel, but plenty of spots on the street. The hotels website includes a blog post which provides incredibly helpful advice on where to park (if you’d like this in advance). We found it was only during the day that it was busy, with ample spots early in the morning and evening.
We really appreciated the donation box to help feed the local street cats (who were all lovely!) and as with everywhere else we visited in Jordan, we felt safe and very well looked after. We’d highly recommend Sydney Hotel as your Amman base.

Great experience
I stayed at this hotel on my arrival in Amman and the evening before departure, for a total of 3 nights. Clean hotel, small but efficient bathroom, quite comfortable bed. The staff is very kind and very helpful, if you come by car you can park in the street in front of the hotel, never had difficulty finding it. Close to everything on foot. Including breakfast that is vast and varied, a little less for us Italians who eat dessert in the morning, but still tea or milk with cereal or toast you can still eat it.
Great experience recommend it.

Amazing experience at Sydney Hotel and with our driver Youssef
The Sydney Hotel was an excellent place to stay in the city of Amman. It’s in a fantastic location, perfect for walking to all the main sights in the old town. We stayed in the room with bunk beds, and the cleanliness was impeccable, everything smelled great. The hotel staff were always very helpful, and the breakfast was delicious.
For our trips to Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea, the hotel put us in contact with a driver who turned out to be the key to our entire journey. Youssef was a friendly driver, always ready to explain interesting facts about the country and take us along the most scenic roads to enjoy the most incredible views. We were a group of 22-year-old girls, and he made us feel very comfortable at all times, almost as if we were traveling with our father.
Youssef, thank you so much for showing us Jordan with such kindness. We will definitely stay at the Sydney Hotel again.
