Pros:

スタッフが親切

Cons:

ビジターセンターからホテルまでの坂道が急勾配なので歩いてスーツケースを運ぶのは難しいです。タクシーを使うことになりますが、ウーバーは使えないので交渉になるのが難点です。

Stay for good view if you have a car
Pros:

Four bedded room had big beds.
The view from the terrace is to die for. The gathering of guests on the terrace makes for nice conversations.

Cons:

Breakfast was basic.
Its quite far and up a steep slope from Petra visitor centre with no shops or restaurants nearby.

Une équipe qui assure, dans un hôtel plein d'originalité.
Pros:

Nous avons choisi cet hôtel car il était situé assez près du site de Petra, et par rapport aux autre, son architecture originale nous a plus. Nous n'avons pas été déçu, puisque des places de parking juste devant et partout dans la rue étaient disponibles, nous n'avions donc pas eu peur de laisser notre véhicule de location sur place. Le personnel nous a accueilli avec des très bonnes explications, et était toujours disponible pour nous renseigner, nous conseiller sur les meilleurs itinéraires, et nous avons pu voir Petra dans son ensemble grâce à leurs indications. La chambre était confortable, le lit très agréable, (dommage pas de TV satellite en fonctionnement). Bouilloire et café etc à disposition. Par contre un peu bruyant suivant l'étage et les autres occupants de l'hôtel...Le rooftop est superbe, et donne une vue exceptionnelle sur le coucher du soleil et les montagnes de Petra. Une mention toute particuliere au "barman" de ce rooftop qui est d'une gentillesse et d'un sérieux exemplaire, service impeccable, disponible, tout en étant discret. Le restaurant de l’hôtel était fermé 2 soirs sur 3, puisque pas assez de touristes, mais possibilité de se faire livrer de très bons plats d'un restaurant de qualité pas loin. La déco est comme l'hôtel, très originale et donne vraiment envie de s'installer tranquillement pour boire un verre dans une ambiance détente.

Cons:

Le soir où le restaurant était ouvert, nous avons dû attendre sur les groupes pour pouvoir manger, car la tradition voulait qu'on nous montre la préparation du plat phare de Jordanie, ce qui est fort intéressant.....quand les groupes sont à l'heure!!

Lovely place for a family!
Pros:

The rooftop cafe and bar was the highlight of staying here. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, and there are some restaurants and cafes about at 10 minute walk away.

Cons:

We had a rental car, but if you are on foot, you will not want to walk down to the entrance to Petra. On the map it looks close, but the road is an extremely steep hill, and after hiking around Petra all day, you will not want to walk up to get back to the hotel. Also, if you are over 6’3”, you might hit your head on the doorways. My husband hit his head coming out of the bathroom several times.
