    Maybe adding a few places to hang clothes in the bathroom would be good.

    Hosts are amazing, having the chance to be welcomed into their home and experience their culture was one of our trip highlights. If this is what you are looking for as well then absolutely recommend! Also be sure to book dinner!

    The hotel is run by a beautiful local family. As a solo traveler i felt like home. Rana (the mother) cooks delicious food and is so nice. Her kids whom i met while staying there are the absolute most adorable kids they all speak several languages and are so willing to go out of their way to help people who stay at their house. I had dinner with them and we spent the night playing games and laughing Such a homely atmosphere

    The bathroom in our bedroom needs some renovation, as the shower and the toilet were not working properly

    The family running the hotel is extremely welcoming and kind. They had us for iftar for two nights and we ate all together traditional dishes that they made. Their eight children are the life of the party. Come here if you want to live an experience with a real Jordanian family. Petra can be reached on foot in 10/15 mins. No car is needed.

    All was good!

    The hotel is ideally located for visiting Petra, just a few minutes walk from the entrance and another 5 minutes to the city to have an evening meal. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and takes care of the guests all day long: it is great you may have breakfast any time, even 5am if you need to start early, lunch pack to visit Petra and even dinner. All personnel speaks good English including our wonderful host Ranya, young hotel manager Maria and her capable and friendly ( and even younger) assistants Muhammad,Noor, Sidra,Daniel and Mirna! Greetings to all members of this wonderful family and my recommendation to pay them a visit!

    Some guests smoked: I would have preferred if it was only allowed outside, but since it was raining, it was permitted in the common room (luckily not the dining room). It was well ventilated though.

    Breakfast (extra) was a typical Jordanian feast, all homemade, with an omelet, foulle / ful maddamis (a tasty traditional fava bean dish), baba ghanoush, hummus, cooked tomatoes, pita, and tea or coffee. Dinner was also traditional: chicken with spiced rice and almonds, potatoes and onions with tomatoes The whole family is part of this enterprise: they all speak very good English, are extremely helpful and kind.
