Situated a short walk from the main bus station, this hostel is conveniently located within walking distance from the local shops, restaurants and town centre. The rooms though basic provide a comfortable and affordable nights sleep. I was given a single room at the front of the hostel, but was offered a double upstairs at no extra cost (though I... More

For those who do not want to spend too much and have a strategic position in Wuadi Mousa, the hotel also offers a splendid view across the valley, a nice buffet breakfast and last but not least, a really nice and helpful staff. The owner is a person who is extremely friendly and honest, and you can count on him... More

As other reviews have noted, this is a very basic hostel near the central roundabout in Wadi Musa. You get a bed, a shower, and that's basically it. But the staff are something else... after three days we were literally sad to say goodbye - they really do make you feel like you're staying with family! Nothing is really too... More

I arrived to stay another hotel in Wadi Musa, it was full and just down street checked into this one and ending staying three nights without need to look around as I was more than happy being there. I got a single tidy clean and comfortable room with window and view of town. The room was cheap compared to others... More

We arrived here for a one night stay and are very happy with our decision to stay at Petra Gate! We had some initial changes in booking, and the hotel staff were very accommodating, flexible, and worked with us to resolve our issues. The staff speaks excellent english, and go above and beyond in assisting you in any further travel... More

Hotel was frozen cold. Too tight to turn in the heating. Staff were huddled around a gas fire (chain smoking). Room was stone cold, could see my breath when I awoke. Shower was nothing more than a dribble, but was hot. We stayed four nights and there was no effort to clean. No towels or linen were offered so we... More

I stayed for 3 days and I got very good service from the friendly staff, everytime I had some qustions, there was someone working in reception all the time. They were explaining about what to do in Jordan and help you with the travelling in Wadi Rum. I really liked the breakfast here, for 2JD I got a really big... More

I stayed at the Petra Gate hotel based on reviews here and was horribly disappointed. I will skip over the detail on the minor stuff, room not as promised, door didn't lock, packing tape holding the sink together, no heat in December, dirty room... that is all undesirable but "you get what you pay for" and this is a cheap...

One of the first hotels you encountered as you enter Wadi Moussa near the roundabout and adjacent to a great Chicken Swarma restaurant. Hotel and room is basic but this is more than compensated by the friendly owner (who is charming and inquisitive and always at the lobby) and friendly staff. The owner personally drives guest to the entrance of... More

I stayed here for three nights. The location isn't bad. It's about a 20 minute walk to the Petra park entrance. There are many restaurants and shops in the immediate vicinity. One of the best things about the place is the service. All the staff are friendly and eager to give you advice about everything. The owner speaks great English... More
