For the majority of visitors, Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) is the primary gateway to Jordan, serving as the main international hub with efficient transport links like the Sariyah Airport Express Bus for budget travelers and official taxis for comfort. The smaller Amman Civil Airport (ADJ) is the only other airport physically located in the city; it is significantly closer to the center, making it an ideal choice for domestic flights or specific regional connections, though it offers fewer international service options. Airports situated in neighboring cities should be considered only for specific itineraries. Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) is located in Israel and necessitates a complex border crossing, which is generally only practical for travelers combining trips between the two countries. Similarly, Damascus International Airport (DAM) in Syria and Gurayat Domestic Airport (URY) in Saudi Arabia are quite distant and involve international transit, making them unsuitable for travelers solely focused on Amman. Always verify visa requirements for cross-border land travel in advance of your flight booking.

Since I arrived at night in Jordan for the first time, I stayed at this hotel with a good reputation. Security was good about 25 minutes from the airport, so I was able to stay with peace of mind.FromUS$131

The location is great, and the hotel's exterior and lobby were very clean and well-maintained. However, the same can't be said for the rooms. I particularly think the rooms need renovation. The hotel could offer a much better experience if more attention were paid to cleanliness and if the rooms were modernized in general.FromUS$45

The hotel was great, the rooms were very large and clean, the bed was most comfortable. The pool service could not be better, and the hotel food was great, the terrace bar was phenomenal, 100% recommended. I would go back with my eyes closed. On weekends they have pool parties during the day, both for children and adults, with a DJ included. And with a lot of security, so you feel at home.FromUS$138

Al Abdali Amman|4.04km from city center
We were weary and tired after a disrupted sleep in Tel Aviv only to arrive in Jordan and discover that for the third time, our flights out of Amman airport had been rescheduled. The staff were so sympathetic and helpful calling repeatedly to get us some answers while dealing with the many guests who had come for what appeared to be a delicious buffet dinner. We chose to dine in our room and our meals were fit for a queen.
We booked this hotel because their advertising described breakfast as their GREAT breakfast and both meals certainly were.
The service throughout our stay was excellent and we only moved so that we could be at a place that was closer to the airport.
The only downfall was that the room had a strange odour. We realised later that a previous guest had left something questionable behind.. and pushed under the bed! That was not the staff’s faultFromUS$69

It was a wonderful hotel. The area is safe, and there are supermarkets and easy places to eat nearby, making it very convenient. The best thing about it was that there was free laundry (you could even use liquid detergent for free). The views from the pool and rooftop were amazing, and the night view was also beautiful. The gym was easy to use. The staff were all very kind, and I had a very pleasant stay.FromUS$138

Al Abdali Amman|3.74km from city center
After a long trip back by bus from Petra, we were looking for a comfortable hotel close to the Al Abdali Jett bus terminal. The Marriott is 1.3km from the terminal (take an Uber rather than walk for 1-2JD). It is quiet, very comfortable and we were positively surprised when we found out that our rate included breakfast (which was outstanding). Al Terrazzo restaurant was also excellent, sitting outside by the pool and serving until 11pm.
The swimming pool (15m X 10m) opens at 9am but the gym is open 24h. Highly recommended.FromUS$154

I chose Four Seasons among St. Regis, Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons. One of the reasons was the convenient parking and swimming pool. The service at the front desk was good. I don't know if it was because his English was not standard or because our English was too poor. Anyway, I didn't understand much, but it didn't affect my stay.
Facilities: Ctrip standard. The only platinum hotel in Amman, the facilities are definitely good and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable, albeit soft, but refreshing. The feeling of quilt and pillow touching the skin is also very comfortable. But there are holes in the sheets, why don’t you change them? ! The pajamas are made of poor material and feel too stiff.
Hygiene: The surface is good, but the details are not. The stains on the bottom of the toothbrush cup are quite obvious. Didn’t you see it? This is not the level of Four Seasons.
Environment: Opposite is the Ritz-Carlton, and the main road downstairs is a bit noisy.
Service: If the service at this price is not good, it would be a shame for the Four Seasons. There are not many types of breakfast, but the ingredients and products are still of high quality. The welcome dessert is a highlight, a local specialty.FromUS$356

An exceptional stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Amman ✨
From the moment we arrived, everything felt luxurious and perfectly organized. The staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive to every detail, making the whole experience truly memorable.
The rooms are elegant, spacious, and beautifully designed, with outstanding cleanliness and comfort. The breakfast was delicious with a great variety of options, and the hotel facilities — especially the spa and pool — created the perfect atmosphere for relaxation.
One of the best luxury hotel experiences in Amman, whether for a getaway, business trip, or special occasion. Definitely a stay worth repeating 🤍FromUS$346

The hotel is amazing , very clean everywhere , I disliked that they don’t have reserved areas for smokers everybody smokes anywhere they feel is a good spot for it , not thinking in people that we don’t smoke including little kids , it will be nice if they enforce smokers to smoke on designated areas and not inside restaurants and bars , I ate at 5 de mayo restaurant ( as a good Mexican lol ) not well convenced that I was going to find good Mexican food , I was wrong I gave my congratulations to the stuff and chef the food was amazing and so the drinks , I drank a Paloma a typical Mexican drink base with tequila , squirt ,grapefruit juice , lime juice over salty ring glass , Tequila used on my drinks was Don Julio , All stuff from valet parking to receptionists and in general were super friendly I definably recommend this hotel if you are visiting Amman Jordan orFromUS$135

The service and location were truly exceptional.
The breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options. Our room was clean and comfortable, with the minor exception of a broken desk chair.
The heating in the floor was not operational, so we were provided with an electrical heater, which was a little noisy.
Overall, our experience was positive, though I had anticipated a slightly more refined accommodation experience from a five-star hotel.
I understand that it is not peak season, and despite this, I would still recommend it.FromUS$111
