Horrible! Stay somewhere else, don’t be fooled by the smart looking building facade and tidy internal areas as sadly the rooms aren’t as loved. The room smelt horrible, had crystallised damp on the walls, a dirty bathroom (especially the shower curtain), electric wires exposed on appliances and overall of a general poor standard. Breakfast choices were extremely limited and questionable hygiene levels. The only good thing was its location to Petra entrance and free car parking. Worse hotel I’ve ever stayed in and couldn’t wait to leave.

ペトラの入り口に近く便利。 シャワーの水量がなく、温度が高くならない。 浴槽の栓がないのでお湯が張れない。 冷蔵庫はあるが、コーヒーメーカー、ポットがない。 受付にお願いすると熱湯はカップでもらえた。 景色が見える部屋だったが窓が汚い。 ウェルカムドリンクのジュースが美味しかった。

Good value.

Don’t go for a double bed. They are tiny and the rooms are smaller. Two single beds in a non smoking room was a much better option. Staff in restaurant were particularly lovely, and it was possible to enjoy a glass of Jordanian wine on the terrace. Big downside though is the speakers for call to prayer are right next to the hotel. They blared into our bedroom at 5am which is not a welcome wake up. Okay if you’re setting off early for Petra perhaps.

Esperienza terribile!

Esperienza terribile! Hotel vecchissimo e sporchissimo. Bagno inutilizzabile per la mancanza di pulizia. Soprattutto le foto delle camere e del bagno non sono assolutamente conformi alla realtà. Colazione di bassissima qualità, scarsa e ambiente sporco Unico punto a favore, l’estrema vicinanza con l’entrata al sito archeologico di Petra. Struttura assolutamente sconsigliata.

Terrible hotel to be presented as 3 Star.

Hotels.com must stop advertising this dirty old hotel as 3 Star. This is a old dated hotel not worthy of carrying 3 star markings. All staff were polite and friendly but hotel it self is old and falling apart. Bed linen was so worn and ripping apart. Bath towel were old and discoloured . Bathroom is an eye sore with dirty shower basins with blocked drain. When I mentioned this to the staff they kindly showed me other 2 available rooms and they are no better. Dinner should have been buffet but served one main dish with chicken and some side dishes for the same price of 10 JD for which you can get much much better food outside. At check out when I mentioned it they gave me 5JD discount which does not change the facts. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone. If all of them Stars removed from the hotel, no one will have complaints either. All of them wonderful reviews must have been posted by the hotel itself.

Rooftop view of the city, watching the full moon rise over Petra. Walking distance to everything. Being on top of a hill has its pros and cons, puff, puff! The staff is friendly and helpful. So glad there was a small 2-person elevator to get our luggage up to the 3rd floor. Great breakfast buffet!

Da rinnovare, ma ottima posizione

Hotel molto vicino all'ingresso del parco di Petra, piuttosto grande. La struttura purtroppo è vecchia e necessita di miglioramenti. Chiedete esplicitamente camere non fumatori. Buon compromesso per viaggiatori low cost che vogliono essere vicini all'ingresso del parco. Colazione mediocre. Ha parcheggio e colazione inclusa.

Ótima localização

O hotel é muito próximo à principal atração, Petra. Toda a equipe é muito atenciosa e amigável. Fomos muito bem recebidos. O hotel não é luxuoso, mas é o ideal para uma ou duas noites na cidade. O café da manhã é bem satisfatório. Caso chegue à cidade de ônibus, você consegue ir à pé para o hotel, tranquilamente. Recomendo.

Ok for a short stay

I chose this hotel mainly for the location to the main entrance. The hotel is very run down. The room is old and small. But it is sleep-able and convenient. The staff is always ready to serve. I only stay for one night so it is ok.

The hotel is only 5 minutes walk from the visitors center and entrance to Petra. The room was clean and accommodated our needs. The staff was nice and helpful and breakfast was good. The hotel is located uphill (short uphill walk) and is next to the Main Street, were many of the restaurants are located.
