Al-Fanar Palace Hotel

This hotel has definitely seen better days. The lobby is nice, but full of smoke (which apparently is not unique to this location, but rather common across the country). But the rooms are an embarrassment. Shabby, not very clean, and run down. The sheets are rough, and the towels are a scary gray color (I was so glad I had packed a travel towel!). The bathroom was beyond disrepair - the shower curtain was hanging by only a few hooks, and literally half of the toilet tank stand was broken off making the seat precarious! On the upside, the rooms are big with high ceilings and there were plenty of outlets for charging electronics. The breakfast and dinner (buffets) were ok with lots of choices. And the location is central. So, if you go in with the knowledge that you will need to limit your expectations, it will not surprise or disappoint.

Price is probably the only reason why you might consider this hotel. It's an old hotel that is being squeezed till the last drop by its owner. Things broken are not fixed. Al-Fanar Palace Hotel is located just next to a busy highway. It's not conveniently located for eating or shopping. The hotel is old. Everything including the decor and furnishing, as well as the elevators, does not fail to give an impression that it is past its prime years. The room (my room number 403) is spacious for a twin room. Lighting is good, with adequate illumination across the entire room. There is also a small LCD TV on the wall, and a mini fridge below it. So far so good, right? However... 1) There is only one chair, with stained upholstery, in the room; 2) The pillows were without pillow cover (which was rectified after I went down to tell the reception.) You might wonder why I didn't call the reception, right? It's because there's no internal phone directory in the room, which should be standard for all hotels. 3) There is no electric kettle or water glasses provided (which should be there as I checked with my friend in other rooms.) I informed the reception as well, but this wasn't rectified. I stayed for a total of 4 nights-- the situation remained the same. 4) Charging point: In the whole room, there are only two power outlets for charging devices -- inconveniently located at the corner of a wall opposite the bed. And if that's not bad enough, only one works! 5) Now let's turn to the bathroom. Again, it's spacious and well lit. The tap needs an extra bit of force to turn off the water completely. There is a bathtub with a showerhead. So far so good, except there was no hand towel (only two pieces of bath towels in crimson colour-- can't even tell how clean they are.) The following day when I came back after housekeeping had left, there was one hand towel. (Why there was none on the first day, and then it became one on the next day?) 6) There's no rinsing cup in the bathroom. There is a cupholder on the wall, and the remnant of a broken cupholder on the other side. 7) The toilet flush system does not work well consistently. It worked well the first two days, and then started to have problems. 8) After having a bath, you would want to hang the clothes in the wardrobe for the next day. This room does not provide a single hanger. 9) Now, when it's time to sleep, you might think that there should be a master switch at the bedside for switching off the lights. That's pretty standard isn't it? No, I had to walk all the way to the entrance, as the only light switches were there just next to the door. To be fair, some of the rooms are pretty decent. Yet my personal experience would only allow me to give the above comment on this hotel, which I would never use again even if I were to return to Amman in the future. In light of the quality of housekeeping, configuration and maintenance of the room and attitude of the reception, I think the problem is with its mana

This is a very low level hotel, not worth the stay at all. There's no internet Rooms are dirty AC is not working Plugs are not working, only 1 or 2 There's no cable TV Elevators not working Floors sticky Everyone smokes everywhere

Najgorszy hotel w jakim spałam w życiu. Brud, brud i jeszcze raz brud. Na wycieczce objazdowej spałam dwukrotnie - jeden pokój gorszy od drugiego. Stare, zniszczone meble, zakurzone firany, brudne okna, zakurzone meble i wykładziny. W żadnym pokoju nie działał sejf. Część lamp bez żarówek co powodowało,że w pokojach panował półmrok. Jednak najgorsze są łazienki - pleśń, brud i smród. Człowiek brzydzi się tam myć. Jedzenie średniej jakości. Nie polecam, nie wróciłabym nawet za darmo.

Hotel e camere in ottime condizioni. Leggendo le varie recensioni ero un po’ titubante, ma appena sono arrivata mi sono accorta immediatamente di quanto fosse bello, ordinato e soprattutto ACCOGLIENTE. Il cibo ottimo, in maniera particolare il pollo e la zuppa ogni sera preparati in modo diverso. Il cuoco e i camerieri molto cortesi e super disponibili. Anche il proprietario molto gentile. Sicuramente ci ritornerei. Tutto perfetto! Offre molti servizi: palestra, piscina, sauna e tanto altro…

Przebywałem w Hotelu Al-Fanar 2 noce na wycieczce objazdowej z Rainbow Tours. Hotel nowoczesny, dobrze wyposażony, spełniający standardy 4 *. Położony przy ruchliwej ulicy kilka kilometrów od centrum Ammanu. Pokoje przestronne, dobrze wyposażone i czyste. Obsługa Hotelu profesjonalna i życzliwa. Jedzenie bardzo dobre i czysto serwowane. Hotel posiada bar, atrium i sklep. Niedaleko hotelu są lokalne małe markety. Świetna baza wypadowa do zwiedzania Ammanu, Dżerasza i Petry. Polecam ten hotel.

De las 2 noches contratadas solo pasamos una, y porque llegamos a las 22 h. No nos quedó mas remedio. La cena : una bolsa de plástico con algo parecido a un panecillo correoso de hot dog con lechuga y una salsa agria y una manzana. Para beber un vaso de agua. Sucio, descuidado, malos olores, basura en los pasillos, ascensores averiados, ... Viaje en grupo , 25 , nos plantamos ante el guía y le exigimos un cambio de hotel a primera hora. Lejos del centro. Cuatro estrellas ????? Se le han caído 3 con el tiempo. Si no quieres amargarte el viaje , busca otra opción.

Hotel con una decoración muy cuidada, un poco pasado de moda, la habitación muy amplia y limpia. Es punto malo es la comida no tienen bufet y te sirven el desayuno y la cena a modo de plato combinado, lo que hace poco apetecible la comida. Una pena, si cuidaran este aspecto, el hotel mejoraría mucho .

Supongo que si estás mirando este hotel es porque, en algún viaje organizado, venir a él es una de las opciones. Pues bien, si puedes evitarlo, hazlo, las razones son variadas: está a tomar por saco del centro, hace un frío de narices en invierno (dormimos con térmicas), el WC con la tapa rota y no traga, la limpieza...ejem, encontramos en nuestra habitación (de moqueta, para dar un poco más de asco) una colilla en la papelera, un trozo de pan y el gel de manos usado por el anterior. Si todo esto no fuera poco: la cama es incomodisima, el agua de la ducha ni tiene presión ni se la espera y apenas sale caliente. Por decir algo bueno: el servicio es normal, sin prisa, pero no es malo y la comida está rica. En resumen: si quieres vivir una experiencia de la España de 1960 pues es tu hotel. En caso contrario, mejor coge otro
