The main drawback is its location which is in the middle of housing and feels remote.
Our opinion is a perfectly comfortable hotel, possibly more appropriate for business users or tour groups.
The one thing we did like was that, if like us your flights into Amman land very early in the morning, they will let you check-in without charging you an extra night.
The hotel is located outside the centre, but a taxi costs only about 1-2 JD (1JD is approx. 1 Euro, January 2007). Right across the hotel is a pharmacy (where you can get various Dead Sea products at much better prices than in the big souvenir shops located along the highway), two hairdressing salons (one for men, one for women), a mini-market and a small pizzeria. Close to the hotel (about 5 minutes walk, close to hotel Kempinsiky) are some cafes that are well-worth visiting if one enjoys getting to know the local culture (try the family-café ‘Sultan’ for Sahlep, waterpipe and some nice live music). Also close is the Shopping Mall Shmeisani, with a food court and a rel. big supermarket (good for buying herbs and filled dates and grapes!).
The hotel has an outdoor pool (nothing fancy), but it was closed now, since it was too cold for swimming anyway.
We went with a group, and were first given a room with two single beds despite having requested a double one. It required a lot of complaining from us, since the receptionist insisted that pushing together the beds was just as well, but after one day, we were given the requested room. Another problem was the lack of warm blankets – the hotel did not have a sufficient amount and we spent two nights freezing (the AC was insufficient). The third night we just complained so much that the receptionist produced one after all …
The rooms are spacious and clean, with a sitting area, a safe and a mini bar (empty however). The bathroom was clean as well, the bathtub had a removable shower-handle. Toiletries were limited to shampoo, shower gel, body milk, shower cap and shoe-shine. We had warm water every night, towels were changed every day – I don’t know about the sheets. The rooms were overall quiet (we did not hear anything from the next rooms), but there was some construction noise outside.
Both breakfast and dinner were good (not outstanding, but good). There is a relatively large variety of things, also for vegetarians, and most dishes were tasty. Dinner was served between 7.30 and 10.30 pm. It seems though, that every table was always missing something – be that napkins, salt and pepper, knives etc. The staff, however, was very friendly and always ready to oblige. When we forgot some things in the fridge after being given the room with the double bed, we phoned and informed the hotel about it, and they were nice enough to take our things to the new room. And, when we went to the Dead Sea for a day trip, they also provided us with soft towels, at no cost.
So overall, if we went again to Amman, we would probably stay there again. The hotel might be slightly on the outskirts, but taxis are cheap and the mall as well as local cafes close by meant we had every thing we needed close by.
PS: Do try to find a post office to send your post cards from a post office. I remembered them on the night before our departure and the receptionist charged me 1 JD per card.
Across the hotel you can find a pharmacy where you can get dead sea products --cheaper --among other things.
nice hotel and nice people
hotel unless one will pay for it.That I could understand. There were no bottles of water in the rooms
at all. That I could also undersatnd. The last straw was when at dinner time in the dinning room ,
my group was not even given water..can you imagine. I was told that we had to pay for water.
My group decided that drinking the soup will be enough. I have been to Jordan many times and
all hotels provide, even Petra hotels do provide drinking water in their rooms as well as in the dinning
area.At the end of the day I had to call my local operator to instruct them to give me drinking water or
I will have to purchase a 500ml bottle for USD 4.This I cannot understand.
I will not put my groups in this hotel as there are plenty more good and reliable hotels in Jordan.
The hotel should take this as a constructive feedback and review the standard of their hotel.
International calls made from this Hotel would make you weep while checking out. ( Jordanese dont play with calling cards)
Food is "Value for money" though.(Meaning good)
The room kept on getting locked and the card key had to be rechanged atleast on 2 occassions.
Room service was efficient though.
Staff understands basic English.
Wanted to know whether the Hotel had a sauna, couldnt explain it and ended up with 2 maintainance chaps coming up my room (202) and asking me " Smoke in your Bathroom?
Awkardly placed and taxis are reluctant .
Theres a a good pharmacy in the front though found useful.
The TV dosent show many channels though.
Spoons are rarely available , at the dining,restaurant and room service , be content with a fork or knife. Corn flakes? fork it up your mouth.
The staff was courteous though,nothing to complain.
The swimming pool's a large bath tub but good enough.
if in Jordan ,would I be at the Cham Palace again?
No Thanks. I would look somewhere else.
"if you dont need any assistance and good with Mediterranean food ..come to this Hotel"Read full review
