“As a solo backpacker in Amman, I found that hostels with communal spaces truly made a difference. After a day navigating the Citadel, knowing there was a lounge or even a garden at my hostel meant I could easily strike up conversations. The staff at places like Carob Hostel were always helpful, and the option of a film night was a low-pressure way to meet people. It felt safe and welcoming, and the shared kitchens were great for saving money on food, allowing me to stretch my budget further.”
