Black Iris Hotel

This was my fourth time staying at the Black Iris Hotel in Madaba, and once again, it was an exceptional experience. Each visit reminds me why I keep coming back—this hotel offers warm hospitality, comfort, and genuine care that you simply don’t find everywhere.||Outstanding Staff – Especially Safa|One of the true highlights of my stay is always Safa, who is an absolute gem. She is incredibly professional, kind, and always goes out of her way to ensure guests feel welcome and well looked after. Her local knowledge is fantastic—she gives excellent recommendations on everything from restaurants and historical sites to day trips and transportation.||Thanks to Safa, I discovered hidden local spots I wouldn’t have found on my own, and her restaurant suggestions were always spot on. She’s patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about making your stay as smooth and memorable as possible. Safa’s service alone makes the Black Iris feel like a second home.||Comfortable, Clean, and Quiet Rooms|As always, my room was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable. The beds are cozy, the bathrooms are modern and well-maintained, and there’s a sense of peacefulness throughout the hotel that’s perfect after a day of sightseeing.||Great Location|The hotel is perfectly located—within easy walking distance to Madaba’s top sites like the Madaba Map at St. George’s Church, local markets, and great places to eat. It’s also a convenient base for trips to Mount Nebo, the Dead Sea, and Amman.||Delicious Breakfast and a Friendly Atmosphere|Each morning starts with a fresh, delicious breakfast featuring a variety of local and international options. The breakfast area is a welcoming space, and it’s easy to strike up conversations with other travelers.||Excellent Value and Consistent Quality|Four visits in, and I can confidently say that Black Iris Hotel offers unbeatable value. The consistent quality, fair pricing, and top-notch service—especially from Safa—make this hotel a rare find.||Final Thoughts|Whether it’s your first time in Madaba or your fourth, like me, I highly recommend Black Iris Hotel. It’s a place where guests are treated like family, and Safa's care and dedication are at the heart of that experience. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Great Staff. Courteous and thoughtful and upgraded my room. Free safe parking within the compound. 40-45 min drive to Amman airport.

Nice hotel, clean and tidy. Rooms were comfortable enough. Staff were very nice and gave us options of where to eat. We only stayed one night on route to Amman airport. The reasons for 4/5 is that the doors to the rooms are noisy and give a lot of echo when being opening and closed which disturbed our sleep with people coming and going.

We had a great time at Black Iris last weekend. This was our 4th time at Madaba and all these 4 times we stayed at the same hotel as it was the best in the town. Friendly staff, good brakfast, very good location near to the Madaba City Mall, Perfect rooms. The rooms/ hotel is very clean too. Need to mention about the receptionist, Safaa is a very friendly, english speaking lady who helped us a lot even arranging the taxis to the hotel as well. Definitely we will stay in fiture as well and recommending to anyone who look for the best place for a good price at Madaba.

Black Iris is an amazing hotel. I had the opportunity to stay at this hotel for the third trip of me coming to Jordan. The service is great. The people are great and enjoying my time here. I feel safe and welcome and I can’t be more happier.

Good hotel with large room, plenty of hot water, body wash and shampoo provided and good and plentiful breakfast. Pleasant hotel staff. Hotel is near the centre and all its amenities. Close to the church with the mosaic. Only 30 minutes from the airport

This hotel is a little gem. Top service either a smile, parking, in a perfect location for access to the sites & shopping, decent breakfast at a super reasonable price. Who could want more?

This is a great little hotel to stay at while visiting Madaba. I stayed for 7 nights and everything was great. The front desk and dining room staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast is served each day on the ground floor. The little buffet has something for everyone including warm eggs and a meat dish. My room was spacious, and the bed comfortable. Even had a kettle, which was a lovely surprise. I would highly recommend this clean, and friendly hotel to anyone heading to Madaba. Oh the location is great too. Walkable to all of the tourist sights around town.
