My stay at Gondola Hotel & Suites was a mixed experience. The room was clean and spacious enough for two, although the furniture was outdated. I faced issues with the pricing upon checkout, which left a sour taste, but the hotel's location was convenient for exploring Amman and nearby attractions.
Rooms
5.0
The room was spacious with a kitchen area, although it had an older feel and some issues like the unpleasant cigarette smell despite being labeled non-smoking. It did have useful amenities like air conditioning.
Service
5.0
While some staff were helpful with recommendations, others lacked friendliness and proper communication, especially regarding the taxi charges. This inconsistency in service was frustrating.
Location
7.0
The hotel is in a safe and quiet area with shops and cafes close by, making it easy to navigate around Amman, especially with a rental car. Downtown is just a short taxi ride away.
Dining

I found the breakfast options basic and not worth the extra cost. There wasn't much variety, and I would suggest exploring local dining options outside the hotel.
Facilities
5.0
The facility offers several services like laundry and car hire, but I didn't utilize all of them. There were limitations with the room itself, which could use updates.

During my stay at Gondola Hotel & Suites, I encountered some mixed experiences. The friendly reception staff and spacious room were highlights, but the unexpected charges and the cigarette smell in my non-smoking room left me disappointed.
Rooms
5.0
My room was spacious with old solid wood furniture, but it had a strong cigarette smell despite booking a non-smoking room. The king-size bed was actually two beds pushed together, which was a bit uncomfortable.
Service

The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, offering great local tips. However, the communication regarding my room's smoking status could have been clearer.
Location

I had a mixed experience at Gondola Hotel & Suites. On the positive side, I appreciated the spacious room with a kitchen and the helpful staff. However, my stay was overshadowed by issues like inconsistent internet and unexpected charges for the airport transfer.
Rooms
6.0
My room was quite spacious and clean, though I had requested a full or queen-sized bed and got two singles instead. The older decor also felt a bit spartan, but the warm showers were a plus.
Service
7.0
The staff were generally friendly and accommodating, taking the time to help with my needs. However, I found some receptionists not very forthcoming with suggestions or information.
Location

The hotel is located in a quiet area, which felt safe. However, since the public transport in Amman is quite challenging, having a car would definitely make things easier.
Dining

I found the breakfast buffet to be poor value for money, with limited options and old utilities. I would advise looking for better dining options elsewhere.
Facilities
