    Room was quite dirty, especially under the bed - empty food containers and dust bunnies. Bathroom was also dirty. There was a strong cigarette smell. Opening the windows helped, but when we got cold and turned on the A/C it smelled even worse. No shower curtain so everything in the bathroom gets wet. No amenities or frills, which we expected, but compared to other budget hotels in Jordan this one is REALLY no frills.

    Great location close to restaurants, supermarkets etc. About 25 minutes walk or 5 minutes drive from Petra visitors centre. Breakfast was good, although the second day we were missing some things and the owner weirdly refused to give us more pita? Possibly a miscommunication. Room is big and the view from the window was great. Shower was always hot, which is a blessing after a long day exploring Petra. Easy to find parking on the street outside. Owner was responsive and helpful before we arrived.

    The room was not so clean (but aligned with standard in Jordan) and we didn't get our towels changed the 2nd day.

    Very good position in Wadi Musa center. Very close to most of the restaurants, no problems in finding car parking. Hotel host was very kind and nice, breakfast was very good (on rooftop with an amazing view).

    The location is really good. The view from our room was stunning, we could enjoy amazing sunrises and sunsets. Easy to find. The staff, Omar, is a super helpful guy: he helped us a lot with local tips to get around and to catch local buses on the way to Amman. Very friendly and welcoming.

    The location is reliable and easy to get screws with many restaurant, mosque and nice places that surrender the hotel. The host Omar is really kind and friendly, ready to help and to give good advices. The room is perfect furnished with air conditioning.

    A bit noisy from the mosque nearby, the kitchen is a bit underequipped

    Omar takes great interest in helping out the guests, there is a big top floor dining room with views, guests can use the kitchen, a nice bakery just downstairs, it's close to many shops

    The breakfast is not 3JOD as said in booking is 4JOD. When asked about this difference we were told that they had improved the breakfast and for that the value was different. The breakfast took long time to make (we asked to be ready at 7:15 and only started eating at 8). The eggs were raw at first, we had hummus (we asked 3 times to fill it up because it was such small quantity), some cheese, honey, apricot jam and naan. We were hungry after this. The windows are paper thin and cold and wind get in. The sheets had bread crumbs and the carpets in the bedroom were disgusting.

    The location is good and when we asked to get the breakfast value reimbursed they were comprehensive.

    The staff is constantly pushing to sell you extras like dinner, lunchbox, etc. Then quoting a price and after that charging another price. Also did never give me the change after promising he would. The rooms ate simply disgusting , uncomfortable. Old is one thing. Dirty is another thing. Sheets ate grey, the carpet has cracks in it and it's covered with dust. So are the dinner tables upstairs on the rooftop.

    Nothing good to say about this place other than it is in the middle if local life, with a more modern location for dinner nearby.

    This hotel needs to be taken down and redone again thats how bad it was. The room was disgusting, pieces of carpet put in, beds were like bricks, door looked like it had been kicked in a few times and damn the shower I have no words was the worst, disgusting site ever. The host wasn't helpful at all, was rude and a pervert. This was more a brotherl then a hotel, you walk into the reception with loads of men sitting and smoking. This was worst experience ever and should not even be on the website. It doesn't even deserve a 1.

    The manager of this place is super friendly and he will give you a lot of good advice like where to get the best shwarma in town at the local price. The hotel is also very cozy with an enclosed balcony upstairs with great views of the city at night, which is very beautiful. Thanks for a welcoming stay.

    This is a wonderful place to stay while visiting Petra. Hotel is super clean, beds very comfortable, great location, strong WiFi. Omar is a wonderful host very kind and honest! He is willing to help you with useful information about Jordan and the region. He helped me finding good places to eat for fair prices. He is a great guy and you don't want to miss meeting him! This hotel is highly recommended!!
