Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers some stunning views of the surrounding area, although it can get quite noisy due to the large number of people and clanking of dishes. The rooms are spacious, with some overlooking the canyon of Petra. The service, while some staff members were friendly and helpful, was marred by an incident of inappropriate behavior towards a staff member in the restaurant. The location is convenient, being opposite the visitor center leading to the Petra walk, but the limited number of plugs in the rooms could be inconvenient. The dining options varied from poor quality to a good variety at the buffet. Overall, the facilities are decent, but there are some areas that could be improved, notably the noise levels and the dining quality.
The hotel offers large and spotlessly clean rooms with comfortable beds. However, some areas like the worn-out carpets and poor bathroom need attention. The service is very helpful and friendly, with staff willing to address any issues. The location provides amazing views but seems outdated. The dining, while acceptable, could improve in quality. The facilities are decent overall.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean, roomy, and well-equipped with necessary toiletries, plenty of towels, and convenient services like room service and wake-up calls. However, accessing the rooms required using two different elevators, which was a bit inconvenient. The service was a mixed experience with some unfriendly encounters but also helpful staff members. The location was wonderful, just opposite the visitor center leading to the Petra walk, and the view of hills and mountains was breathtaking. The dining experience had its flaws with poor-quality food, but the location, especially being only 10 minutes by car to Petra, and the surroundings were delightful.
The hotel offers a wonderful view of hills and mountains just 10 minutes by car from Petra. The rooms are spacious and some have a view over the canyon of Petra, making for an amazing experience. However, the dining experience, especially at the breakfast buffet, leaves much to be desired.
The hotel offers comfortable and large rooms that are spotlessly clean, although accessing them requires the use of two different elevators. Despite this, the dining room is kept clean. The service provided was a bit lacking due to witnessing a distressing incident with a staff member, making me question the management's conduct and professionalism.
