Detailed Reviews

This is not a hotel, but rather a B&B consisting of two adapted apartments. The quadruple rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable, but the bathroom is impractical: to take a shower you have to climb over the toilet, the shower is inside a mini tub with a step where you can't even move, the adjustment of the water temperature is a problem. Our friends had booked a "Deluxe" double room but were assigned a room with a shared bathroom. Regarding safety, the stairs do not have a railing and there are exposed electrical wires.
For breakfast, there are only 10 seats, so if there are multiple guests at the same time there is no space and some have to stand. The manager tries to distribute breakfasts at different times, but does not always succeed. The open kitchen is in an unacceptable state.
If it is possible, I would advise you to look for another facility

Great staff, good food, clean rooms, great location, free parking, 5 minutes drive from Petra Visitor Center, 10 minutes walk to restaurants, above a supermarket.
Beware, on a busy road. For those light sleepers ask for a room in the back, however you will then miss out on the sunsets over Petra.

The room was very confortable. The breakfast was rich and there was the possibility to chose different timings, for exemple It was possible to have breakfast early to visit Petra or to go go Wadi Rum desert. The owner also advises us a good place to have dinner.

Bad experience:
booked a room with exclusive use of the bathroom and we discover that it is used by 2 other rooms.
The reading lamp with broken and exposed wires and other signs of poor electrical safety.
Dirty sheets with the presence of various organic residues.
The entrance staircase, two flights, without parapet.
Breakfast was offered in a room close to the rooms and was inadequate to accommodate all the guests.
We were only able to agree on a price reduction as we found no immediate alternatives.

This property could easily have been a 4/5 for us, but unfortunately, the behaviour of the owner really let this down. I will try to still be as fair as I can in this review and not give it a 1 star just for a single reason.
The Good:
Location was good for us as it meant that we didn’t have to go into the crazy downtown traffic. There was ample free parking available nearby and the supermarket next door is well stocked for all your needs for supplies. It meant that we didn't have to go into the town to buy snacks or drinks.
The room itself is decent with good AC and incredibly comfortable beds, which we needed after the long days in Petra. There was good hot water available in the shower and to give credit where it's due, the owner helped us carry our luggage into the rooms and served us some complimentary bedouin tea and snacks.
The packed breakfast was also pretty good. We were given that for free because we were leaving for Petra before the breakfast started. It consisted of a bun with turkey slices, a cupcake, a drink, an apple, and a water bottle. Obviously nothing luxurious about it, but it helped us get through Petra without buying some super expensive food there. Only weird thing was a whole tomato in our breakfast bag, which we were confused about.
We also used the laundry facilities and were happy with the service, although it was pretty pricy and priced per individual item.
THE BAD
First of all, this is not a hotel but rather a guesthouse. There is a communal kitchen with a dining table for 12 people and the fridge is shared between all rooms as well as the staff and the bathrooms are also shared for most rooms (we were lucky to have the en-suite but found out some others were told about en-suite rooms but didn't get one). So selling this as a hotel is quite a misrepresentation.
Soundproofing in the rooms is really bad. You’ll be woken up at 7am because the breakfast staff will be preparing it and causing a lot of noise. Our room was right next to the kitchen, so we got a lot of noise there. Breakfast was very limited in terms of the choices, but we weren’t particularly picky so it didn’t matter too much to us, but I can imagine some guests may not like it.
A lot of items in the bathroom were really loose. It looked like it was just a matter of tightening them. None of the shelves or hooks were properly fixed to the wall, so it was a bit difficult to place anything in the bathroom. This is something that can easily be fixed, but not sure why no attention was paid to this. The shower was a bit strange. I think it was a seated bath, but it was uncomfortable to either sit or stand in it because it had a tiny step in it to enable you to sit.
Now to the most shocking part: A couple of days after we checked out of this place, Ahmad started emotionally blackmailing us for good reviews. This was incredibly poor behaviour and something we’ve never seen before. He said he’d lose his job if we didn’t give him full star rating. Just being honest and asking your customers to provide honest feedback would be better and you might end up with an even better rating than if you emotionally blackmail us.
He was also quite pushy on us booking tours through him as well as when we shared our plan for Petra, he was quite pushy in trying to persuade us to change our plan. We had done enough research to know how and what we want to see, but he tried to convince us to start late on day 1 and instead early on day 2. Thankfully we still followed our own plan. Ahmad also tried convincing us that Petra actually opened at 6.30, so we should just have breakfast at 6am. This wasn’t true because Petra opens up at 6am. Once again, thankfully we didn’t follow his advice.
Also, we told Ahmad 2 hours in advance what our arrival time would be and he said he was waiting for us. Once we arrived, we found out that nobody was at the hotel and we couldn’t get through to him either. We ended up waiting a good 10 minutes in the car before he arrived. In the grand scheme, however, this was a tiny point given the above mentioned points.
Overall, my suggestion is that if the owner became more genuine and let people give genuine reviews, they would probably get better reviews overall.
