City Citadel Hotel

The two wooden staircases in the City Citadel lobby, between moulded plaster panels

Amman · Downtown · Rooms and tours

Jordan starts at our door.

A small hotel in the old city, and a desk that books the whole country: Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, Jerash, Aqaba. Come for a bed. Leave having seen Jordan.


Why book with us

Most people book Jordan twice. A bed in Amman, then five separate operators for everything else.

Different prices, different pickups, and nobody answering at eleven at night. We do both halves: one desk, one number, one person who answers.


The reception desk and the lobby chairs, under the moulded plaster

The house itself

Two stars, and a staircase people photograph.

You are booking at twenty dinars, so you expect a box with a bed in it. What is actually there: moulded plaster the length of the stairwell, a lobby with chairs in it, and a room in olive green with brass light and its own bathroom. Sixteen of them, and a desk that answers at three in the morning.
