New Park Hotel - Amman

In general, very good for the price. Very friendly staff looked after us well. We arrived very late, but the staff went out to check whether a restaurant was still serving (it was). The rooms were clean and the heating worked (important in the cold season). Everything was fine that - after we said that we were going out for a walk to see the sights (10 minutes from the hotel) and would be back later, they opened our rooms and left the keys in the doors with all our possessions inside. Nothing was taken, but there was a risk.

I was just in Amman for 2 nights and 1 day. I chose this hotel because of its price and location relative to the airport and the main part of the city. Very unexpectedly, I want to go back to Amman, and if I ever do I would go back to this hotel for its huge, comfortable bed, clean facilities, charming foyer, and friendly helpful service. Also, there's an HSBC ATM just across the street.

Overall, a good place to stay. We stayed on executive level so had access to executive lounge, which was open for food and drink at periods throughout the day and came in handy several times. Immediate area is fine with some good local cafes. One caution: upon arrival there is a bag scanner in the entrance annex that is just likt the ones at an airport( which is normal there). Visitors should be sure that all of their items come all the way through the scanner and that you leave that area with all of you possessions. Twice we had items that did not emerge at the other end and we left the vestibule without them. Luckily we realized this within a few minutes and went back and sure, enough, they turned the belt on and out came our items. We found this a bit disconcerting especially because on the first night our daughter got to her room to disciver that her iPad, which had been in an iPad-sized purse, was missing. Since she couldn't remember whether she carried it out of the cab, we assumed she left it in the cab. However, the two incidents described above gave me pause to wonder . . . In general, though, i was reassured by a close friend who is living in Jordan that "Muslims don't steal," and that the iPad was probably dropped somewhere and whoever found it would not know how to return it to its owner. The rest of our experince was consistent with this view and we did not worry about the security of ourselves or posessions. But we did learn to keep very good track of them.

I had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel, clean, quite and close to markets and cafes, I enjoyed it very much.

We stayed at the Canyon Boutique Hotel for five days during our visit in Amman. The Hotel was very modern with friendly staff, all trough some staff had difficulty understanding and speaking English. Rooms were open and very nice, all though they were not automatically cleaned (you have to tell the staff, if you want your room cleaned). The hotel served a decent breakfast and had a bar/restaurant at the top floor with quite good food at reasonable prices. There are not a lot of other restaurants in the nearby area, but taxis come by regularly. The taxi drivers do however have some trouble understanding the location of the hotel (even though it is right next to Jordan Hospital), but that is mainly due to bad English-capabilities of local cab drivers. Overall a good experience, the staff is ready to assist, you can easily get a taxi to other parts of Amman and the price is very good (we arrived one day late due to bad weather at our country of origin, and the hotel didn't charge us for the extra night, even though they could easily had wished to do so).
