Good option for Petra!

We were looking for an affordable stay near Petra and this one did the job. Bed was comfortable and the front desk people were extremely helpful in organizing activities. My only complaint is that the shower and bathroom area were smaller than expected. A good option for your stay in Petra.

We stayed at this property for our recent holiday, the staff is poorly behaved and wouldn't leave any opportunity to rip you off your money. limited and poor quality breakfast and rooms are tiny as well. Plug points do not work , notea or cooffee in rooms, they provide 2 little cups of water as opposed to standard 500 ml water bottles in other hotels. and above that staff is unfriendly too which is disappointing given they are in hospitality industry, will not recommend.

2/3 stars hotel instead of 4

We feel like this is more like a 2 stars or max 3 stars hotel instead of 4. It is an old style building with few pieces of new furnitures. We stayed there for two nights. The staffs were very nice and friendly. We even got our room upgraded as we’re on our honeymoon. The problem with the top floor panoramic room is that the windows can’t be closed completely. It was very windy and we could hear all the noise from outside. It also took hours for the heater to really warm up the room. Overall the room gave us an impression that it’s not very clean due to the stains on the bed linens and the condition of the bathroom. The breakfast was so and so, far from what you see in their photos. Dinner buffet was not good as the food was not fresh, a la carte was not too bad.

Beware of hotel's Turkish Bath!!!

After a long day of hiking I arranged a massage at the hotels spa facility (they called it a Turkish Bath) for my wife through the hotel manager. This is a recount from wife of what happened: We ordered a Turkish bath and the hotel staff asked if it was ok if it was a man. We didn't realize exactly what happens in a Turkish bath so I "said not a problem", as I have had lots of male masseuses in the USA and it was always very appropriate. However for this Turkish bath you go across the street and you are all alone with one man. During my bath I tried to keep putting the wet sheet to cover my private parts but I kept ending up completely naked. My breasts were rubbed and nipples pinched. My legs were spread and my inner thighs rubbed.The man asked if it was ok and I said "yes, but I am very uncomfortable and it is strange" to him. He told me "just relax and it is only work" for him. I also was positioned facing the wall standing up naked and massaged from behind. At the time I thought it was normal for an Arab turkish bath and even tipped the guy, but later I felt very uncomfortable and violated. After the next few days I started getting more upset and I am mad at myself for not stopping him because it was very inappropriate and sexual.

Average stay

The Hotel was in a reasonable location from the Petra visitor centre and close to restaurants. The hotel condition was average with some old furniture and facilities (the elevator railing was broken, rooms had basic bedding material). The bathroom was small, but functional. The shower was dirty and had not had a problem scrub to remove built up grime and mould. The hotel is on a highway (slow speed) and the rooms did not protect from the loud noise of the road traffic. The rooms on the fourth floor did have wonderful views over Petra which was a saving attribute, good air conditioning and a new television.
