დაჯავშენე ეს თუ You want to roll out of bed and be at the Petra Treasury before the tour buses arrive.
რატომ უყვართ ხოლმე
- Unbeatable location literally across the street from the Petra Visitor Center
- Grand atrium lobby with live music and complimentary chocolate hour
- Rooftop garden with sunset views over the Petra hills
სწრაფი გადახედვა: You are paying a premium for the address, not for modern luxury—expect 1990s grandeur, not 2025 sleekness.
გადამოწმებული @wander.licious-ის მიერ: I felt like I was living in a movie here. The lobby is stunning, but the real magic is being just steps from the Petra entrance. We beat the crowds to the Treasury easily. Honestly, the location is unbeatable for capturing those dream shots.

Reality check
Bathrooms are tight and dated, with showers that tend to flood the floor due to poor design.
- You prioritize proximity to the ruins above all else
- You enjoy a bustling, old-school hotel atmosphere with live piano in the lobby
- You need a reliable, extensive breakfast buffet to fuel a 10-mile hike
სუფთობა და მოვლა
8.8
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally thorough, though some guests report missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean but dated. Grout is scrubbed but old; no mold, but wear is visible.
- Maintenance: Aging property issues: slow drains, finicky AC controls, and peeling sealant in some showers.
- Linens & towels: Crisp white linens, standard hotel quality. Towels are clean but can feel a bit thin/worn.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of incense and coffee; rooms are generally neutral but some report faint mustiness in carpets.

დაჯავშნამდე
სასარგებლო
- Alcohol is served but expensive (approx. 9 JOD / $12 for a beer)
- Valet parking is free, which is a huge perk in crowded Wadi Musa
- The 'Zara Spa' is decent but often booked out—reserve treatments before arrival
რა გადაიტანოთ
- Earplugs (essential for street-facing rooms)
- Bathing suit (only if visiting May-Oct)
- Hiking boots (you are 50 meters from the Siq)
ოთახის გენი
საუკეთესო არჩევანი
- Superior Room with 'Mountain View' (rear-facing) for quieter nights
- Junior Suites for actual living space (standard rooms are tight at ~26-28 sqm)
თავიდან აცილებული ოთახები
- Standard/Classic rooms facing the main street (bus noise)
- Rooms on lower floors directly off the main atrium (lobby noise travels up)
ოთახის მოთხოვნის გენი – დააკოპირე და ჩასვი
“I am a light sleeper and kindly request a renovated Superior room facing the rear/mountain side, away from the main street and tour bus parking. High floor preferred to minimize atrium echo.”
ხშირი კითხვები და დამალული რჩევები
ყველაფერი, რაც ნამდვილად უნდა იცოდე ჯავშნამდე.
Is the pool heated?
No. It is an outdoor pool, generally freezing cold and often closed from November to April.
How close is it to Petra really?
It is the closest hotel. You cross one street and you are at the ticket office. Zero taxi needed.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's excellent—huge buffet with omelet stations, local hummus, and gluten-free options.
Can I buy alcohol at the hotel?
Yes, the Al Maqa'ad Bar and Al Ghadeer Roof Garden serve alcohol, though prices are high (plus tax).
Is there a resort fee?
No hidden resort fee, but watch out for the 10% service charge and 7% tax added to food/drink bills.
Do the rooms have balconies?
Most Superior rooms have small balconies; Classic rooms typically have windows only.
შიდა რჩევები
- ✨
The 'Chocolate Hour' in the lobby (usually 4-5 PM) is free—don't miss the Swiss chocolate treats.
- ✨
Buy water at the small shops just outside the hotel gate to save 300% vs. the minibar.
- ✨
The Al Maqa'ad Bar has stunning gold-leaf walls and is worth a visit even if you just order a soda.
5 რამ, რაც უნდა იცოდე სანამ წახვალ
💡The shower stalls in standard rooms are notoriously small—elbow-banging territory.
💡The 'free' WiFi can be spotty in the corners of the atrium-facing rooms.
💡You can hear the call to prayer very clearly (atmospheric for some, waking for others).
💡The rooftop bar is the best place for sunset but gets chilly fast—bring a jacket even in spring.
💡The hotel interior is incredibly photogenic (lamps, tiles) even if the rooms are plain.
