Beautiful property, and amazing value for something less than a 10 minute walk to the Petra visitor center. Mohammed-Ali made check-in beyond seamless and even after check-in made staying here feel warm and a very pleasant experience in general. Room was clean, as were the common areas, bed was comfortable, no complaints in that department. Cannot recommend staying here enough.

I stayed here for a few days while visiting Petra. The staff are amazing, super friendly and helpful, even offering me a tour of the various view points. My room was fine and the bed is comfortable. There is a convenience store close by and a few restaurants. Breakfast is fantastic and includes eggs. The walk to the hotel from the entrance at Petra is 15 minutes and all uphill.

Front desk clerk was amazing! She gave us some tips for hiking Petra from the backside to the front which worked great! Having hiked Petra before from the front this allowed us to see another side and saved us on time. The hotel was simple and clean with great staff! Will stay here anytime we come to the area!

Excellent value for money; very close to Petra main entrance. Owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel breakfast was terrific. Other meals were quite reasonable in a location where everything for tourists is pricey because that is the only local business. Room was clean, comfortable and fully functional. Anything we needed, they provided. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Overall our stay at Petra Aretas Hotel was extremely satisfactory. The breakfast was nice and was served promptly at 6 am. We were able to go visit Petra right after breakfast and beat the crowd. In fact, we parked our car at the hotel and walked to the Petra Visitor Center. Both the owner and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay at Petra Aretas.

The hotel is too small and needs renovation. It’s in the center and 10 minutes walking to Petra entrance. I have to say that the chef who was the person who welcomed us it’s a really nice person. He treated us really really well. I forgot his name

Amazing service and hospitality

While this may be a two star hotel, the level of service is beyond 5 star. The staff at this small hotel are absolutely amazing! They provided very helpful info and went above and beyond to make sure mother and I were comfortable. After a full day at Petra, they saw how tired and sore we were so they made us a hot oil with herbs to rub on our legs and back. They offer laundry and an on-site dinner. They were accommodating to our dietary needs. Rooms are simple but function for what you need - comfortable bed and good shower. Also very clean! I cannot say enough good things about the people who run this hotel!!!
