Getting there
Good for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
The rooms were very clean and tidy. The bathrooms were spotless. We could drop our luggages in chrck out at the concierge before we visited Petra. Location is very good and there are many eating places nearby. The reason I gave 4 out of 5 were primarily due to 2 reasons. The first being, its around a good 20 min walk from Petra and you may have to take a cab. The second being there are no lifts. So if your room is on 2nd or 3rd floor then you may have a problem with stairs if mobility is an issue. I was travelling with old parents so a lift would have been great. However the stay at the hotel was just brilliant. The host was so friendly. He offered us free appetisers, free baklava and free tea/coffee with every meal. Highly recommended

I liked staying here, my room was clean and the price was really good when you consider that things are really expensive in Petra. The receptionist even minded my luggage on my final day. Also, lots of nice great restaurants nearby

Well let me start by saying that this is not the Marriott but it's about one-tenth the price. And the accommodations are completely acceptable. The thing that makes this such a nice place to stay is that the owner is a lot of fun to chat with. Speaks very good English which is helpful to Americans but I understand he also speaks perfect German. Of course that's not helpful to Americans. And his staff, especially Sharif, are really Pleasant people. We enjoyed our stay very much. And the last thing I would add is it is very well located in the "city center". Lots of restaurants to choose from including the one right next to the hotel. We got our breakfast there each day and it is something to experience because it is such a local thing. Sherif literally gets up to make it for you whenever you need to head to Petra. And dinner includes the appetizers. We had tasty Jordanian food there. Two thumbs up from a guy that normally stays at a Marriott.

This is my 2nd trip to Jordan (and to Petra) after a gap of 7 years, and I decided to stay at the same place that I stayed the last time. I must say, Al-Rashid hotel still provides the same excellent service that I received last time. Staffs at the hotel are very friendly (thank you Sharif for all your help). William at the reception was such a gentleman and helped us in so many ways. I was sad to hear that their excellent chef Mohammed have left the hotel, but fear not, he is working in the next door restaurant where we eat twice and was simply blown away by the quality of the food. Thank you all for making our stay an excellent one.

I stayed here 2 nights while visiting the archeological site. Friendly service by the manager, staff was friendly and understood + spoke English. room was clean and functional. Only minor thing was the somewhat musty odor in the shower. Breakfast was great and I can recommend their lunch package!

I stayed here for the same price I would get for staying in a hostel, so you really can't beat the price. I paid 30D (shared with another person) so that is only 15JD. My bed was comfortable and the room and bathroom were clean. The staff are also very nice and the main lobby and dining hall is clean. I also had a free buffet breakfast and free wifi.
I would recommend this as a budget place to stay. It is very close to the shops, restaurants, banks and the 'bus' station. You could walk everywhere.

3 of us stayed 2 nights in a triple room. The single beds were big and the room and bathroom were spacious for the price. The room was clean and well air conditioned. The staff were EXTREMELY helpful, organising a free ride to petra visitor centre and giving us free water bottles and good advice on restaurants and Petra. Location is in the centre of town near lots of restaurants and super markets and a very walkable 15 minutes to Petra. Only complaint would be that the shower head couldn't attach to the wall so we had to hand hold it. Excellent value and as young travellers we would reccomend to anyone and will send our friends there.

I spent 4 nights at Al Rashid and was very pleased with my choice. The staff are wonderful: welcoming and very friendly, they make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The room was very clean and comfy and the rate included a tasty breakfast. I also had dinner a couple of time at the hotel restaurant and the chef prepared some delicious vegetarian meals upon my request. The spacious and tastefully decorated lobby is a great place to chat with other travellers while sipping tea. The entrance to the ancient city of Petra is 10-15 minutes walking downhill and there are shops and restaurants all around. This is a gem of a hotel!

You can find people outside the complex, speak with a few before you choose anyone, I recommend a guided tour for the first day And the second one just go by yourself, if you are in good physical condition, try hiking over the principal buildings... good luck

Hi Barbra,
I booked the hotel and then the hotel emailed me. Then I emailed back asking to be picked up from the airport and there was this driver waiting for me. I personally took a taxi (5dinars one way which is expensive for a 2km) from the hotel to Petra entrance and walked myself everywhere. I watched a PBS documentary about Petra and another from National Geographic and I was good to go. Have fun!!

The hotel could arrange this, ask around for prices, there are taxi touts opposite the entrance to the Petra visitor centre that can do this also. Always room for haggling!
