I would highly recommend Nomads. It’s friendly, great value and the location and facilities are great
Pros:

Wonderful rooftop with views of Petra and the sunset, super friendly and welcoming staff, clean and comfortable room. My friends and I were the only guests but the staff still prepared a great breakfast for us despite the kitchen not bringing open

Cons:

It’s up a very very steep hill! But once you make it to the hotel and see the views, you forget about that climb to get there😊

Book this place for Petra! Amazing.
Pros:

This was a great place to stay! The staff are amazing -- ZERO pressure for tips and guides and excursions, and the rooms were comfortable, secure, strong AC and comfy beds -- strong hot water.

Absolutely the best in the region, and the walk to Petra Gate is like 600m away.

Cons:

Can't fault a thing!

Aanrader! Zeer scherpe prijs-kwaliteit voor dichtbij Petra & dichtbij de tourist street in Wadi Musa
Pros:

De rooftop bar is prachtig, met een wijds panoramisch zicht over Wadi Musa en Petra en liet de omvang van Petra binnenkomen. Het ontbijtbuffet was vers, uitgebreid en lekker, ondanks dat ik de enige gast was. De kamer heeft een frigo en airco en een fles drinkwater die elke dag aangevuld werd. Er is een kleine parking aan het hotel.

Cons:

Je moet er rekening mee houden dat het hotel zeer dicht bij Petra ligt, maar dat je altijd een steile afdaling naar & een steile beklimming terug moet doen, waardoor ik het op den duur met mijn huurauto deed.
