The House Boutique Suites is the pick for people who want to be in the old, walkable part of Amman rather than in the business district. It stands in Jabal Amman, about seven minutes on foot from Rainbow Street, with its cafés, galleries and rooftop terraces, and roughly seventeen minutes on foot from the Jordan Museum. The Citadel is a two-minute drive. The suites suit longer stays and families, and the property offers a complimentary buffet breakfast with eggs to order, served daily in the morning. Facilities include a restaurant, a poolside bar, a terrace, a gym, a guest laundry room that is free to use, a small grocery store and a seasonal outdoor pool, with a rooftop pool also mentioned.
Location and getting around
The hotel puts you within walking distance of Rainbow Street and its evening life, with Downtown and the Roman Theatre a short taxi ride down the hill. Abdali Mall and Abdali Boulevard are about three minutes by car. The hotel offers an airport shuttle on request for a fee per vehicle, and free self-parking is available, which makes a rental car easy if you plan to drive to Jerash or the Dead Sea.
Rooms and facilities
The suites give you more space than a standard room, which is useful with children or on a week-long stay. The laundry room and the small grocery store are practical extras on a longer trip. The outdoor pool is seasonal and open from April to November, so check the date of your stay. The front desk is staffed around the clock.
Good to know
The breakfast is free, whereas several of the other hotels in this guide charge extra for it, so it can save a meaningful amount over a stay. Jabal Amman streets are hilly, so expect some uphill walking in the heat. Rainbow Street can be lively at night, so ask for a room away from the street if you are a light sleeper. Who it suits: couples, families and independent travelers who want a local feel.
