This was my replacement hotel when my hotel reserved for 2 months canceled the reservation the day before my arrival. I had read reviews of all hotels near the university and picked another as being the best value based on the benefits and the quality of the reviews. The Nahas Plaza cost an extra 20 JOD (about $27 more) for my 2-night stay. It is an “apartment hotel.” It has a living room, a kitchen, a bath, and a bedroom. It is quite roomy. The staff downstairs were great both when checking me in and when helping me with a problem that came up. The WiFi is some of the best I have had in 6 weeks within the Middle East with download and upload speeds of 30 Mbps. But that is when no one else is sharing; it does slow down at popular times to be online and occasionally disconnects then reconnects. Also, it blocks phone calls on WhatsApp. The TV has Aljazeera news in English and French TV news in English and VOA in English text--no BBC or CNN. The suite is a bit worn meaning that the furniture has gotten knicks and scratches over time, the walls near the bedroom window were damaged from seeping water, the cushions on the living room furniture were worn and a bit stained. The bedroom windows did not close properly, so there was noise seepage around them.

The bedroom windows did not close properly, so there was noise seepage around them. The kitchen is a bit strange--cabinets, countertops, and a sink with no dishes, no microwave, no cook top. It does have a mini-fridge and an electric kettle with a supply of tea bags and instant coffee packets. Also strange is the fact that the bathroom door is behind the opened kitchen door which requires some maneuvering to enter it. The breakfast is acceptable (hummus, foul, cheese, sliced meat, boiled eggs, pita bread, white bread, jam, butter, corn flakes, pastry or cake, coffee and tea), but it was not ready at 7:30 either of the mornings I was there (and I was needing to be at bus stations as early as possible both mornings). The location is great. I walked to the Clock Tower area for a museum, from the Southern Bus Station, to/from the Northern Bus Station, and to the Western Bus Station. Nearby are lots of restaurants and the campus of Yarmouk University which houses a good museum.More
