they cheated us on 20 JOD, despite booking in writing they asked for an additional $ 25 US. The hotel is embarrassing, dirt, renovations, noise of pneumatic hammers, lack of breakfast and dinner, a room on the top floor for unprepared rest, the entire 1st floor under renovation, up to the hotel up the stairs, no suitcase with suitcases, stench in reception, I do not recommend, I advise against

Indifference Owner and Some Staff.
The staff in general were not knowledgeable. They did't even know the hostel's address and they don't have a business card. The owner was not helpful either and I had to get back to him 3 times to get some tour information sold by it. The place was cold and there was no heating. It was 1C when I woke up at 6 AM ready for breakfast and Petra visit. Even though there were some empty beds in different room, they let one of the guests slept next to a window. I met this guy on the bus and he decided to stay in the same hostel with me. Had I not taken my bed first, I would have to sleep in his bed under the window and got sick the next day. He did. The bathroom was moldy and it got flooded when one took a shower. The toilet flush handle was broken and not replaced. There was no toilet papers in the bedroom and the toilet in the common area. The door to the bedroom was squeaky. I didn't understand why the owner didn't oil it. It made so much noise every time someone opened or closed it. I had booked and stayed there for 3 days. Rose from Italy who worked there was great. Breakfast was good value for money. The view from the dining area is great.

Für junge Menschen ist es eine perfekte Möglichkeit günstig und komfortabel zu übernachten! Zu Petra Monument sind nur 10 Gehminuten zu bewältigen. Personal ist top und die Sauberkeit ist für einen Hostel mit mehreren Zimmer Bewohner mehr als gut! Morgens wird für ein kleines Entgelt ein hervorragendes Frühstück serviert. Kaffee und Tee stehen kostenlos zu Verfügung.

Bad Experience
Bad Experience. 1, poor facilities- -Their shower can provide only 30-degree water even at 10 degrees of room temperature -The room heating system totally was not enough. 4 rooms needed to share just one heater by over 25 people under 10 degrees in winter -microwave was broken -The guest refrigerator was unclean 2-low hospitality -people shouting 6 times by 2 days and a police officer came 2 times by 2 days -staffs often shout customers. Even they looked they are used to doing so. Because normally good staffs do not keep shouting over 1 min unilaterally -We couldn’t feel the hospitality from their stuff. Just felt as like we are goods on a belt conveyor just to provide money Good point-have wifi Brutta esperienza. 1, strutture povere- -La loro doccia può fornire solo acqua a 30 gradi anche a 10 gradi di temperatura ambiente -Il sistema di riscaldamento della stanza non era del tutto sufficiente. In inverno erano necessarie 4 camere per condividere un solo riscaldatore di oltre 25 persone sotto i 10 gradi - il microonde era rotto -Il frigorifero per gli ospiti era sporco 2-bassa ospitalità -persone che urlavano 6 volte entro 2 giorni e un ufficiale di polizia veniva 2 volte entro 2 giorni i dipendenti spesso gridano ai clienti. Anche loro sembravano abituati a farlo.Perché normalmente il personale buono non con -Non potevamo sentire l'ospitalità dalle loro cose. Ci siamo sentiti come se fossimo merci su un nastro trasportatore solo per fornire denaro Buon punto-wifi
