I stayed at the Retaj during a training for the UN. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. When I needed anything, they would accommodate. They even offered to store an empty suitcase for me that I could not take on my flight (for the next time I returned to Jordan). The rooms are fairly simple, but clean and my... More

Excellent service, clean rooms, lovely breakfast and most importantly really kind staff who even opened the restaurant for us 2 am when we arrived from the airport. Internet connection is not great but gets faster after midnight. We highly recommend this hotel.

The position is not excellent but taxis are very cheap in Amman, despite traffic is tremendous. Rooms on the road side are very noisy and during the night the traffic disturbs a bit. Staff is kind but not very helpful; I had a problem in my bathroom and they didn' t do anything for 4 days. Rooms are comfortable enough... More

This is a typical 3 stars hotel, if you are in a short business trip then it is the place to go, reasonable price, very good location and nice neighborhood next to Sheraton and the Four Season, easy access to and from. Rooms are clean, but one of the side lamps was out of order and when I left (one... More

I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights during March 2012. As I was in Amman for business reasons it provided a good base to allow me to get around town easily enough as its location on a main road allowed me to get taxis at any time I needed one. The hotel is only about 3 or 4 years... More

I would potentially stay at the Retaj again. I am never a fan of staying at American brand hotels, like the Four Seasons down the street. The location is right on the ring road system. Which means it's easy for cars, and horrible for pedestrians. If I went back to Amman, I think I would like to stay closer to... More

We were at Retaj for 2 nights in January. The hotel is about 30 minutes drive from the airport by taxi. We paid 20JOD for the journey and found out later that the hotel charges 30JOD for a trip to the airport. Retaj is aesthetically beautiful. Its furniture rivals those of a 4-star hotel and it is located about 25... More

Amman has a lot of backpackers, and a lot of high end hotels - the Retaj is a perfect mid-range hotel. The rooms are spotless, the staff extremely welcoming and friendly, great breakfast. The staff helped us with missing bags, car hire, arrangements for our journey into Syria... The location is slightly out of town, but is practically next door... More

Hotel looks like new, excellent location on a main road, easy access to either downtown or to the airport. But the best part is the staff - They provided excellent restaurant recommendations, made the reservations for us, and provided the hotel car to drop off and pick up. They could not do enough during our stay - Extremely friendly, welcoming... More
