I had a very small budget for a 2-week stay in Amman, so I took a risk and booked at the Rafi Hotel. I'm glad that I did! The staff, especially, helped me to feel safe and at home even as a woman traveling alone. At this hotel, you don't need to worry about anyone coming into your room and possibly going through or moving your belongings. Because it's a budget hotel, housekeeping doesn't come into your room everyday to clean it. But you can request your room to be cleaned and you can always ask for clean towels. Breakfast includes a variety of bread, meat, cheeses, raw vegetables, tea and coffee. The hotel is really a great value for the price, and the staff are willing to help you with any problems that you have. One thing to note for travelers is that in Jordan people smoke indoors a lot. This was also true of the hotel, both in the lobby and in the rooms, which was very surprising to me as an American. If you want a non-smoking hotel, you will need to specifically seek that out in Jordan; it's not a given. But I would stay at the Rafi again!
