My wife and I stayed in one of the Petra Guesthouse's standard rooms for two nights while visiting Petra. In terms of the quality and cleanliness of the room and the general appearance of the hotel, I would rate the hotel as very good. I rated the hotel down from this because of several issues. For one, each room is... More

We were very impressed with the entrance to the hotel as you clime up the stairs you come to large patio nicely decorated and then enter the hotel. The staff was friendly, professional and very attentive to it's guests needs. The room are small but nice and the beds are very comfortable. It is right at the entrance to Petra... More

This hotel is truly at the gates of Petra. The location is reason alone to book this hotel. The Cave bar and terrace are nice and beverages are cold. The music inside the cave bar was a little too loud (even in the late afternoon) to allow for anyone sitting at the same table to hear each other speak but... More

This was a great location. It is literally right at the gate to Petra. The restaurant was lacking a bit. The food is "fine". For the price, you are better to explore and find dinner elsewhere. As with many places in Jordan, I found the service at the breakfast buffet to be poor. They stick you at a tiny table,... More

You cannot beat the location of this hotel, especially if you want to hit Petra early, as soon as it opens. It's right next to the entrance and ticket booths. The service is decent. However, there is only one buffet restaurant, unless you want to brave the loud, blasting music from the Cave Bar that will make your ears hurt.... More

Choosing this hotel, will give you a plus on your Petra daily tour. The incredible location at the very entrance of Petra, puts it in the high level. After an exhausting day visiting Petra you will beg for a good shower and some rest. Petra Guest Hotel, gives you all this, plus a nice decoration, a good buffet and breakfast,... More

This hotel was literally located above the entry gate into Petra. Couldn't have asked for a better location, since there isn't the need for a long walk into town (generally uphill) or taxis. The facility itself is beautiful, with a set of large rooms perched on a large rock face. The Cave Bar, built from an old tomb carved into... More

It was a great place and i stayed in the outer part of the hotel up on the rocks with a great lookout to the village area. It had... More

I chose to stay at the guest house because of its location, and in that area, the "hotel" did not disappoint. There were a few oddities however, including a door that appeared to lock but didn't, a terribly smelly drain, and the motel-like feel. On the plus side, the breakfast buffet was very filling, the bed was comfortable, and the... More

Stayed for one night at this hotel. The location is great as it is next door to the entrance to Petra but we had a couple of moans about the hotel. Firstly we were in a room a long way from the reception area and restaurant - the porter who showed us our room thought it was very funny when... More
