Wadi Musa hotels

Pros:

Pros: We previously stayed at the Movenpick which is directly next to Petra Moon at 3 times the rate, so we moved to Petra Moon for 2 nights and found the view to be the best feature, followed by close access to Petra, just 1 block away from the entrance to the Visitor's Center. Air Conditioning was good and the room was nice and cool. Small fridge in the room, and Wi-Fi was good with good speed. Food prices are reasonable for being so close to a main tourist attraction which is of course Petra. Nice rooftop area for dinner has a great view of the area. I would stay again and would recommend it for the value compared to other hotels.

Cons: 1. No alcohol available 2. The only english language channels were BBC, CNN, and had to get them to reprogram the satellite box to get MBC 2, but they were willing to do that. 3. Shower curtain doesn't reach the top of the tub so floods the bathroom floor every time you take a shower.

Pros: Service was excellent, staff were very friendly and hospitable, and they paid attention to small details. The restaurant manager even Gabe us a lunch box to go. The front desk, especially Hozifah were super helpful and friendly.

Cons: Couldn't change the fan speed on the air conditioning, was full blast or off.

Pros: Location was great! Breakfast was very good. Room had a great view of the street and village.

Cons: Small bathroom but very clean.

Pros: Parking was free and secure. The location is great for visiting Petra and enjoying local restaurants. Everyone on staff was very nice. The room was comfortable. They leave a little snack with sweets and fruit at turndown and the snacks in the mini-bar are complimentary, which are nice touches! Overall, a very nice stay!

Cons: The bathroom maybe could have been a little cleaner (it looked like dirt in the shower) but overall it was clean and a very nice stay!

Pros: We liked the family room format, it was very spacious. The staff were excellent even giving us a take away drinks and snacks that we hadn't even ordered for free. The pool was good but very cold but good fun all the same. Facilities in the room was good. Location for visiting Petra was excellent (just 2 minutes walk away). All in all we were extremely happy in this hotel.

Cons: The bathroom in the family room was a little small. Pool was a bit on the cold side. No real negatives

Cons: No darkness in the room the curtains are too short that allow daylight in the room at early morning

Pros: Great location but expensive in high season. Rooftop with pool is very Nice Buffet is good Rooms small but ok

Pros: Lovely place that is perfectly located at the heart of Petra. Loved the stay with friends, food was great, staff was very much welcoming and helpful. Money well spent for the night. It was fantastic.

Pros: This is a fabulous hotel. We had the biggest and friendliest welcome of anywhere that we have ever stayed with our children. Nothing was too much trouble. It's a brilliantly convenient location; 2 minutes from the entrance to Petra and the new Petra museum and is a great hotel. Yes, so the pool is pretty freezing but honestly this is a minor issue. The staff, unprompted gave me food and drinks for the children for our journey; these little things mean a lot when you are travelling with children in an unfamiliar country. Thank you again!

Pros: Very friendly, attentive service. My husband and I stayed in Jordan for five nights and with The Petra Moon for three nights after being recommended by family to stay there. They organised our taxis and tours for our whole five day trip around Jordan and couldn't help us enough with anything we needed, all the trips were faultless. I was over the moon with our stay :) !

Cons:

Pros: Very friendly and hospitable people! We had a wonderful time with them! Nice dinner and breakfast and comfortable bed!

Pros: Great location, super friendly staff, very reasonable

Cons: Great location..but you have to be super adventurous...super hot in the tent, no air conditioning, just a tiny window. Too many hot, fuzzy blankets

Pros: Absolutely amazing experience!! So glad we decided to stay here instead of booking a "normal" Hotel in Wadi Musa. This place in a combination with beautiful city of Petra was an absolute high light of your trip around Jordan! The camp fire with tea, shishas and candle lighting on the rock was like in a fairytale!

Pros: Oh my gosh, I am not going to be able to say enough great things about our experience here. It waaaaaaaaaaay exceeded our expectations. The camp is set up with such care and thought. The decoration, the fire pit, the tea, everything is set up to give you the perfect "glamping" in the desert experience. The included breakfast was very nice with options and the dinner buffet was delicious and worth the extra 10 euro. The tents are nice and clean and to our SHOCK the mattress resembled a temperpedic type mattress which was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO comfortable. There is no heating in the room, but believe me the blankets are not only enough, they are too warm. The common toilet/shower area was always kept clean and stocked. The staff is lovely and I really liked that when we first got in, they gave us a briefing as to where things are and what time things happen (a different experience at another camp). Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend it to anyone.

Pros: Very nice setting, live music in the evenings around the fire with complimentary tea.

Cons: It is a bit away from Petra so you either need your own wheels or need to pay for the driver to bring you to and from Wadi Musa.

Pros: Nice Camp with atmosphere. Evenings at the campfire with tea and possible shisha. Washrooms are clean (as long as the guests can also stick to the rules how to uses toilets in Jordan). We could also check in earlier. There was also a cute cat that came cuddling around the campfire.

Cons: Make some sign that tells when there is hot water to shower.

Pros: Absolutely incredible. Couldn’t recommend more

Cons: Nothing. All great!

Pros: The location is beautiful, the swimming pool is awesome.

Cons: They started to clean the room next door at 3am, it was a bit noisy.

Pros: the staff was great!

Cons: nothing

Pros: The staff were always attentive and asking if everything was OK. The food for breakfast and evening meals was beautiful. Stunning sunset.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The view from the room was spectacular. The staff were super friendly.

Pros: Amazing view with a nice team , they were very helpful and I enjoyed my stay thank you

Pros: The hotel is very professional. The rooms are comfortable and the beds are great. Although we had not booked a room including breakfast, they offered it for free which was very nice! We loved the breakfast buffet and the service there.

Cons: One thing to mention is that if you wanna drink a bottle of beer from the minibar, you have to call someone to open it every single time, as they won't provide you with a bottle opener. We found that very weird. We also did not like the staff in the hotel bar - quiet unfriendly and neglective. Another thing to mention is that on the first day we were constantly asked about our room number by random staff members - without an obvious reason. That stopped the second day so maybe they are doing this for security reasons. Anyway that seemed a bit unpolite to us: "Hey - are you really a guest here?"

Pros: Great view.

Cons: Poor buffet breakfast and buffet dinner. Very cold water in the swimming pool.

Cons: It was very difficult to sleep due to the wind, the cover of the tent was moving and disturbing me all night long. I have been there only one night, not sure how much unlucky I have been

Pros: Everything!!! Extremely welcoming staff, good food, nice sitting area, good shisha, good tea, comfortable bed, great location near Little Petra. Staff there is amazing, extremely welcoming, friendly, they made sure we had everything we needed and even more (thank you for swiss chocolate) :) I would recommend this camp to everyone traveling to this area!

Cons: Breakfast very basic

Pros: The location was perfect, the staff extremely friendly, the food delicious and the ambiance was cozy. Recommend it!

Cons: Showers could be better as it was difficult to get any consistent temperature between cold and steaming hot.

Pros: This camp is a beautiful place, like an Arabic dream. Tents are perfect and next to that, the staff is super friendly, they even prepared a surprise for my mothers birthday. I would highly recommend everybody to stay at this place.

Cons: -

Pros: Great location near Petra

Cons: More variety at breakfast

Pros: Good location if you have transport, right by little petra. The dinner was great too

Cons: It's quite expensive but then it is a nice camp site so maybe there are cheaper options that aren't so nice

Pros: Different experience , good buffet, comfortable to sit around a fire in the evening

Cons: Messed around trying to get me to cancel my booking or downgrade tent which caused anxiety in the week preceding the visit

Pros: Super location

Pros: Handy for the Visitors’ Centre, lovely staff, good breakfast and the evening buffet was great at 10JD

Cons: Not a great view from room 215!

Pros: Great location very close to the entrance of Petra.

Cons: Very small rooms

Pros: Perfect location - first what you need in Petra, 100m from tourist center and museum. Friendly staff, good food.

Cons: Bathroom doors didn't close.

Pros: Literary 5 mins walk from Petra entrance, staff is extremely helpful and welcoming and they also suggested a great route for making the best of Petra sightseeing. Clean and cosy, great breakfast with lots of tasty choices.

Pros: A few minutes walk from the JETT bus stop and the Petra visitor centre, this has one of the best locations in Wadi Musa. Friendly staff, clean room and comfortable bed. The 10JD buffet was exceptional value and the food was way better than the restaurants we tried in the area round the entrance. I recommend taking advantage of the location to get into Petra as early as you feel able to. Breakfast starts at 6:30 but it would probably be worth foregoing it to go into Petra at 6. Reception will book the bus to Wadi Rum for you. We paid 10jd each including taxi pick up at 6 to take you to the bus station up the hill.

Cons: They will provide a breakfast box if you are leaving early but the ones we had were pretty poor. Can I suggest that a banana would be more welcome than a cucumber!

Pros: Zayed in reception was amazing thanks for everything

Pros: This resort is VERY close to the entrance of Petra, which is great. It has friendly staff that speaks English very well and has a small supermarket shop outside. The room was nice, clean and the bed was nice. We enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast is nice as well. When visiting Petra we would recommend staying in this hotel. We visited Petra one day and stayed in this hotel afterwards which was nice because we did not have to travel far. However, you can also book this hotel prior to your visit to petra, since you will be able to wake up early and be at the entrance early.

Pros: Good value accommodation, and you can't beat the location right at the entrance to Petra. The rooms are a little dated, but that's not a real problem. The Cave Bar was a terrific place to enjoy a drink or grab a bite after a day in Petra. Very helpful staff.

Cons: There was a slight musty smell to the room.

Pros: we didn’t know this was a 5 star hotel ,so we were surprised when the staff welcomed us with two glasses of juice and of course with a beautiful smile in their faces , the room was with a greaT view , the bed was so comfortable, the location is perfect, everything was beyond amazing and a great value of money

Cons: Nothing!!

Pros: Perfect location to visit Petra! Staff was helpful. Room was comfortable.

Cons: No complaints.

Pros: Perfect location. Great staff. Lovely room and good food.

Pros: Location was perfect. Reception and bell boy staff was very nice and helpful.

Cons: The staff in the restaurant/ bar was unfriendly,

Pros: Right in front of petra entrance. Location is excellent!

Cons: Little old inside the room and bathroom.

Pros: Staff was friendly/helpful. Two double and one triple rooms easily accomodated seven of us. Everyone satisfied with breakfast. Multiple electric currency options helpful.The staff helped facilitate transportation back to Amman. Visited Petra for the day.

Cons: The visitors center was unable to accept credit cards day of our visit. At 50 JOD per person, its a bit challenging for come up with 350 JOD in cash. ATMs have limit of 250 JOD.

Pros: It was exorbitantly expensive. A total rip off. More expensive than the fairmont in Amman which was amazing. I had the worst coffee I’ve ever had in the bar and movenpick are part of a coffee soppy company. We were totally overcharged.

Cons: Overpriced. Bad coffee.

Pros: Location, most staff members especially concierge and restaurant

Cons: bed is not that comfortable and pillows are very bumpy and uncomfortable. The AC settings made the room either too cold or too hot. Could hear noise from courtyard in our room on third floor.

Pros: Location, breakfast, swimming pool

Pros: The location

Cons: facilities , very expensive, food(breakfast and dinner)

Pros: Beautiful common areas and dining facilities. Staff were generally helpful and polite. Would stay here again.

Cons: Service could be a bit slow due to large tour groups and we had to wander a bit aimlessly at times to figure out how to order/where to go.

Pros: Location is great in a rustic atmosphere

Cons: Chaotic organisation during breakfast

Pros: Noor at the reception was great. Very good location.

Cons: Coffee. Had to check few times if the room doors were closed. Bathroom mats not cleaned.

Pros: The receptionist on our arrival was outstanding and so were the other two receptionists I spoke to.

Cons: Minor maintenance to bathroom

Pros: Old rooms and hotel en general, small restaurant just with buffet and no other options.

Cons: As above mentioned

Pros: The staff was very friendly, flexible and attentive.

Cons: A bit far from the Petra Visitors Center (25 mins walking) and our breakfast was not ready on time. Not great value for money (food and size of rooms).

Pros: At the top of the hill, so the views are fabulous! The reception staff are lovely! You are outside the main centre of Petra (about a half-hour downhill walk), so a bit quieter with fewer tourists around. The breakfast was ok, but the included dinner (at the restaurant across the street) was fabulous. (We are both vegan, but had plenty of choice; tasty selection of food, friendly staff.) Great shower, too.

Cons: Breakfast wasn't brilliant, coffee was just ok! But this didn't really matter, as the hotel is perfect for a stay in Petra.

Pros: Excellent service very clean great room with a view and a free pack up lunch to go

Pros: Lobby is good

Cons: Bathroom was not good, smells a pee. Bed was dirty

Cons: In the first morning there where animal excrements in the breakfast room.

Pros: Thank you for your kindness ! Hope we will see you in Lyon! Had a wonderful stay in Petra

Pros: Friendly staff. The room was clean. The hotel is good for 1-2 night long stay.

Cons: When we arrived there was not cold water, but they solved it in short time. They didn't have soap in the bathroom.

Pros: Very nice staff. Good breakfast. Great location.

Cons: Very dirty. In the bathroom broken window and no curtains. Very dated.

Pros: Nice location in 20 minutes walking distance to the Petra visitor center, including a decent breakfast for a fair price

Pros: The hotel was clean, comfortable, really good value for the price you pay. The location is good, very central in Wadi Musa. Petra is around 15 minute walk away from the hotel.

Pros: Owner of the hotel was really nice and helpful. Rooms and barhrooms were clean and comfortable. Very nice location - in the centre of Wadi Musa, walking distance from Petra.

Pros: A good welcome, comfortable beds and nice breakfast. They prepared a basic takeaway breakfast bag on request, which was appreciated when we wanted to make an early start to go to Petra. It's an easy walk down hill to Petra, but you'll probably want a taxi back.

Cons: The hotel rooms were rough around the edges, and in need of TLC. It was just on road parking, which meant we had a park a short walk away.

Pros: Welcoming staff and good service, very clean, comfortable bed and best shower I had in Jordan. Discount at the restaurant next door. Possible to park your car there.

Cons: Unstable wifi connection, recommended to sleep with earplugs

Pros: We had rooms to the mountain view, good buffet dinner and breakfast, car parking in the street, next to the hotel, close to the centre street. Great receptionist!!!

Pros: Very welcoming man at the front desk, he was always happy. Lots of helpful advice. Easy parking out front of property. Food at breakfast and dinner was very nice. Would recommend this hotel,

Pros: Beautifull nature. Staf very kind.

Pros: Staff very friendly, amazing view from the room and the restaurant terrace. Fantastic to watch the sunset over the city. Couldn't recommend more.

Cons: Toilet very close opposite the sink which made it difficult to get past at times.

Pros: Friendly, comfortable hotel.

Pros: The room was cozy and view from the room was amazing. The proximity to Petra was a plus.

Cons: The bathroom didn't have toiletries.

Cons: Wifi not up to standards, should improve that.

Pros: Staff very friendly and helpful. They made us feel at home! The food is good, both dinner and lunch boxes. The room is basic but it fits the purpose of the Petra visit (beds are very comfortable!)

Cons: Carpets in the room that I think can make the cleaning of the floor quite difficult

Pros: Beds were very comfortable and staff was very nice, the receptionist was very helpful Perfect location for watching sunsets

Cons: It is quite far away from the Petra site compared to most hotels in Petra, however it is only about 10 minutes by car so it wasn't that negative. Didn't go in the pool but the water really is cold as it is stated in other comments Breakfast has not much to offer The hotel itself seems a bit old fashioned inside and out, could need some renovation

Pros: View

Cons: AC did not work well, shower didn’t drain and not fixed when called.

Pros: Location and the building

Cons: Swimming pool was indoor

Pros: The service

Pros: We was not sure if we did the right choice to take the hotel out of Petra, but it was a perfect choice. First off all the view out of the window to mountain canyon - wow. Secondly the city is just a few minutes away and u feel isolated from all the tourists and the noise. the staff is very helpful and nice.

Pros: Away from the tourist zoo in Petra. Nice view over the valley. Good spacious rooms. Dinner was good.

Cons: Nothing. Swimming pool was closed, but that will be only temporarily.

Pros: Quiet, good location with beautiful view, good food for breakfast, convenient if you have a rental car

Cons: The welcoming staff could have given more information about Petra. They did not mention that Petra Museum is amazing.

Cons: Pool was at 16°, too cold to get a swin. food was not up to the mark for such hotel. room was not sound proof.

Pros: Nice roof terrace with good view and bar (albeit no alcohol) and swimming pool (hardly used it seems). Walking distance to the Siq (maybe 20mins) or they have shuttle.

Cons: Expensive, but Petra was sold out on these dates so I don't blame them for raising the price.

Pros: Good breakfast.

Cons: Nothing special. Cold water in the swimming pool, bad view from the window.

Pros: Comfy beds , friendly staff

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Rooftop pool was most welcome after nearly ten hours walking in Petra.

Cons: Distance from Petra entrance made it necessary to use taxi

Pros: Pool was nice Breakfast and Bar: good food, friendly staff

Cons: Dirty rooms, no WIFI, a lot of broken furniture, unfriendly staff at the reception We left a day earlier, because no one wanted to stay

Pros: We were checked-in by the most professional staff who guided us about the best things to do in Petra. The rooms were really clean and tidy, although the TV did not work. But with the spectacular views Wadi Musa offers, who cares about TV!?!! Breakfast and dinner were divine, the best food we had in Jordan, and that is saying something. Relaxing outside on the terrace with the breath-taking views was definitely a perk of our trip. In all, we loved this property!

Pros: Great rooftop views with warm Bedouin coats for the chilly nights and shisha!

Pros: The room was of a good size and bed comfortable and bathroom was fine

Cons: Staff polite but not helpful. TV in room did not work (ariel connection broken) despite 2 requests and promise to fix it nothing done. Hotel was not full but I was given a basement room near laundry with views of a wall. Hotel situated long way uphill from centre of Petra with very little local facilities. Roof terrace in poor condition, no real bar just a locked fridge. Did not have evening meal as seemed very basic and poor value. Without a car a long hike to centre of Petra and archaelogical site and even worse on way back as up a steep hill.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: This hotel had no redeeming features and is certainly not 3 star. Though having a good view it’s hard to appreciate through the dirty windows. The whole site was ‘under construction’ and our room was supposedly newly refurbished . This was true but it was done so badly it was a complete health and safely disaster - as example the hairdryer was hanging off the wall in bathroom! The light on fire alarm wasn’t on and there was a sense that a lot of the features in the hotel were ‘tick box’ fronts to pass any inspections. To top it off the staff were arrogant and defensive and struggled to break a smile being rather condescending when I mentioned the TV didn’t work and was questioned if I spoke Arabic ... also they charge for WiFi and pretty much anything else they can get away with! The ‘parking ’ is non existent or on a building site where your hire car can get rocks dropped on it. Don’t give them your money

Pros: It was clean, lovely view, staff was nice, good breakfast, our room was massive

Cons: The pool was freezing. My daughter usually stays on for ages and after about five minutes asked to leave. Kind of defeats the purpose of paying more for a hotel with a pool. I wouldn't stay again based on this.

Cons: Pool, WiFi charged in the room

Pros: The hotel was in the middle of the city. Room was nice and clean, the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was on the 5th floor which has an amazing view to the city and the landscape. The staff is very friendly. They helped us with every issue and offered us free tranport to Petra visitor center.

Pros: The free wifi inside the hotel rooms which was very fast and for free. Bed was comfortable despite being dirty. Bathroom had a hot shower. The receptionist was ok.

Cons: It is very far away from the entrance of Petra visitor center and The Cave bar. It is also located on the very end of a hill which is a no-no for people who cannot walk for much time and especially when you return from Petra. Therefor you must spend money on a taxi. Additionally like all hotels in Wadi Musa and near Petra it is very expensive. My room door lock was problematic and did not lock, the room was comfortable, the shower was amazing, there was a private balcony in my room without a single chair to sit on it and without a table on the balcony, plus it did not have a good view to the city as it was facing another building. The bed shits were not clean, they were full of hair on them and I am bald...!

Pros: nothing!

Cons: the owner tried to make me over pay for the transfer asking for more money. the wifi was very very weak, we have been told the Perta's visitor centre tis 400 m away, but actually the visitor centre is about 1, 5 km away from the hotel, no kettle i the rooms, very poor breakfast , can apply picture to believe.

Pros: Very good location Good breakfast Nice view from the breakfast room Free tea at the evening Available parking Polite staff

Cons: Hot water only few hours per day Very old towels No Wi-Fi in the room

Pros: The location is great for a Petra trip. You can easily walk to the visitors center. You also wave nice restaurants around in Wadi Musa.

Cons: It was not really clean when checking in but quite better after a cleaning the other day.

Pros: The breakfast was good. The location was nice, it was near Petra.

Cons: We paid our stay in JOD (local currency in cash) and we were supposed to receive JOD 20 as change, however, the receptionist gave us USD 20 (instead of JOD 20) which means that we lost JOD 6. Unfortunately, we noticed it after the checkout. Maybe it was not intended but is was really inconvenient.

Cons: You have beter to pay cash in Jordanian dinar. Otherwise, you will be charged with huge commission with Visa or extremely defavorable rate in case of change of euro or dollar. Do not try to bargain, he will lose his temper...

Pros: 1) Nice view from the roof. 2) Free transfer to Petra 3) Located in the city center, close to restaurants and shops. 4) Good value for its price

Cons: 1) The room was on 4th floor, and there was no elevator, so it was difficult to carry my bags using very inconvenient stairs. 2) The food was very poor without any variety. 3) The Mosque is located near the hotel, so at 5 am it was very loudly.

Pros: 5 minues by car to Petra

Cons: The property charges 5JD extra if you pay by card
