I chose this property from reviews and how close it was to Petra Visitors Center. Since it is off-season, I may have been the only guest at the time. The staff was amazing and very accommodating, as they made me amazing meals at the drop of a call - which were a bounty of deliciousness. Would stay there again without hesitation.

Very nice hotel, the room was small but beautifully decorated. Just consider that it's on top of a mountain in Petra. Close to the visitor center walking, like 10mins walk using some shortcuts, or a short ride in taxi.
Our friend Andullah was so nice with breakfast! He saw us struggling and gave us a huge banquet...thank you so much for making us try an authentic jordanian breakfast!

The hotel room is very modern, the staff is awsome, very helpfull, willing to help and offer options.
In addition I was there for my birthday and during dinner, the dim the lights, bring a cake and start singing happy birthaday, it was awsome.
Close to Petra (Walking distance), very good breakfast, good hotel and the best the people, coordinating everything even before we arrived

Excellent brand new hotel
This is a brand new hotel with 10-12 minutes walk to Petra visitor center. Beautiful interior.
Everybody is very friendly and trying to help.
We asked for an iron - delivered within 5 minutes. Asked for refrigerator - same thing.
Chef cooked especially for us a vegetarian meal.
Definitely recommended.

The staff at this hotel bent over backwards to make our stay enjoyable. They allowed early check-in and late check-out. They were extremely helpful by ordering us dinner to be delivered from an off-site restaurant.
Staff are exceptional; specifically Faizel, Remi, and Abdula. They are some of the nicest most helpful hotel staff. There was a language barrier, but not a concern for Translate app.
Rooms are excellent. Functional AC, clean sheets, clean rooms, great panoramic view of the city. Wifi internet was reliable.
The rooftop terrace is where we ate the included average Jordan breakfast. The hard boiled eggs were a nice daily feature. Also there is nice sunset watching from the terrace.
The only bad things were lack of hot water for showers and Avery cramped bathroom sink area and shower area in unit 409. We discussed lack of hot water with Faizal on our 2nd of third days. Unfortunately the water never became hot for showers.
Hotel is an uphill walk, maybe 20 minutes from bus station. The bus station is next to the Petra Museum, which is next to Petra main entrance. Taxis ask between 5-7 JD for the short ride. Some settle on 3JD. Sadly taxis do not use meters in Wadi Musa. In Amman, this taxi fare would be only 1JD.
This hotel is well priced given friendly and helpful staff, and hotel amenities. We would definitely stay at this hotel again if the hot water situation could be resolved.
