Perfect Position, very clean, nice pool, great buffet restaurant...

The location couldn't be better. I was sad I didn't get a room at the Movenpick, but this hotel surprised me with its amazing suite room, awesome restaurant service and fantastic terrace pool and bar. I was travelling with a toddler and at no time did I face any discomfort with food, service or location. This is a stone's throw to the Petra ticket counter and the views from the terrace are spectacular. There is a small supermarket and 2-3 restaurants at 3 minutes walk from the hotel, so no need to be captive at the hotel. We didnt budge from the hotel after the Petra trek cause food and comfort were so awesome.

I loved the hotel. Please close your eyes and book this hotel.

Proximity to visitor centre! Small plunge pool was nice.

We got some misleading advice upon arrival about the best way to view the site. Reception staff tried to sell us a transfer to the monastery at dawn for 40JD, telling us it would take eight hours to walk from the hotel to the monastery and back. We were confused as we had booked this hotel specifically for the location next to the visitor centre. We also asked in the restaurant how long it would take to walk to the monastery and were told they did not know which seems highly unlikely and made us slightly suspicious. Upon checking with local friends it became clear that you can easily walk from the hotel (visitor centre entrance) to the monastery and back in four hours, which we were able to do first thing as we were so close and the visitor centre opens at six am. In fact this is the nicest route as you enter via the Siq and you can see the Treasury in the light of dawn. Unless you have health or physical difficulties I would definitely recommend this option rather than paying to be driven away from the main entrance to the back monastery entrance. I spoke to the front of house manager as we were leaving and he claimed we were just being given options. Being offered options is okay, but suggesting it would take eight hours or longer do the hike to the monastery and back is misleading at best. Unfortunately it came across as a cynical money making ruse which is a shame when the location of the hotel is its main draw.
