Accommodations

Many clean and reputable hotels are located near the Abdali Bus Station in Jabal al-Weibdeh. Close to the city center and convenient for transport out of Amman, this is also the safest area for female budget travelers. Just beyond Jabal al-Weibdeh lies the opulent Shmeisani district with a few reasonably priced accommodations.

The city center, on the other hand, is overgrown with small, seedy hotels. Since every block has three or four hell-holes and every alley at least one, look carefully so as not to get burned. Most of these are not too clean, rattle with each passing truck, and may still be full of Iraqis in no hurry to return home. But the hotels are cheap;

singles usually JD5, doubles JDS. (Feel free to bargain.) Women alone should definitely avoid staying in this area. Establishments of similar quality cluster near the Wahadat Bus Station.
