“Solid hotel, nothing outstanding”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 30, 2012

I've stayed at the Bristol several times over the past few years for work, and it has always had good customer service, nice rooms, and I generally leave quite satisfied. My latest two trips -- about one week apart -- were no exception. I would recommend The Bristol as while it's nowhere near the quality of the Sheraton, Four Seasons or InterContinental in Amman (from what I hear), it's also significantly cheaper.

One tip: Try and get a room in the new wing, which houses the health club and sports bar. The rooms there seem newer and better done-up. The rooms in the old wing (which houses the reception) are ok, but a little worn-down.

PROs:
- Friendly staff who are flexible and helpful with numerous requests
- Big, comfortable double beds and clean rooms
- Large breakfast with wide variety of food
- Nice, albeit basic, gym
- OK location, but a little far from downtown
- Free wifi

CONs:
- Some of the rooms are a little rundown, especially in the main wing
- Wifi signal can be very weak in parts of the hotel

Overall, The Bristol is not a top-flight hotel by any means, but is good value in my experience and I am happy to recommend it.

“Comfortable bed and fantastic food!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

Amman isn't the prettiest of cities, and neither is the Bristol hotel, but once inside we had no complaints. We were there for three nights and I had the best nights' sleep that I can remember in a hotel. The bed, duvet and pillows were fabulous. A large comfortable room with plenty of toiletries. Staff were pleasant and helpful.
Dinner was a delicious buffet. I didn't get to the main course or dessert because the mezze starter was so fantastic. However the desserts looked amazing and everyone around me said that they tasted as good as they looked. The best I have ever seen in a hotel.
Happy hour in the top floor bar with a wonderful view of the city, is between 7-8pm and really worth a visit.

“Bristol hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

An adequate hotel. Service not brilliant and breakfast service very slow. Be warned - smoking is a big part of Jordan life and the locals smoke in the restaurant whilst people are eating - yuk. Menu's good and plentiful. Good location for Amman sites.

“Business Trip”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

The location is amazing on the terms of accessibility, the breakfast buffet is good but no fresh juices, the staff are friendly and ready to help, free wireless, where u can connect, your laptop, blackberry and iphone on the same hotspot and still fast enough. Rooms are comfortable, but double beds were not available so got a twin beds.

“OK Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

Nice hotel - food is excellent. Hotel staff is excellent. The only complaint is the 8th floor has a jazz room and I listened to the noise until it closed at 1:30 a.m. I was on the 6th floor. Way too loud. If you're staying here and need your sleep, request a room on a lower floor. Otherwise, I'd stay again.

Room Tip: Higher floors will have to listen to the noise coming from the 8th floor jazz room. I was on the 6t...
