Hot Springs Hotels in Petra

Z of Phnom Penh chose the Marriott in Petra after a deeply debated tl”Top 5 YouTube Petra Hotels” clip. We arrived on a road with absolutely no bumps, and were greeted by the friendliest concierge, the friendliest hotel manager, the friendliest waiter, and the friendliest chef. Immediately we ordered the ”Beef burger, no meat, just the bun please” and the chef nodded silently and understood our needs. The kids amazingly ate lunch free, so they had more time to Switch on, Vapow! In the evening, we looked for the green flash overlooking the majestic Petra mountains after a cool dip. For dinner, Sadly, Caramello and Nede didn't make it, but the Mandi was amazing. Kids again ate free, as did a little cat in exchange for a few scratches. 6 months is justified, as by now, it's all about the principle. We all agreed So in the end, it wasn't just the personal welcome message on the TV in the room that justified Z's decision, but the phenomenal kindness of the staff, ”You're Welcome!”

Beautiful interior, love the ambiance of lobby lounge and Al Iwan restaurant, food is delicious! Excellent location, just opposite Petra Visitor Centre, ATM can be found next to the Centre and only charge a small fee compared to ATM at airport. Unfortunately, not every superior room comes with a balcony therefore i don’t see what’s the difference compared to classic category. And AC/heater in room smell like kitchen, not sure because our room was just above the back kitchen. After all, it’s a mixed feeling about the hotel.

This place is sort of a boutique hotel opened by locals and not one of the big chain hotels and it’s location (point 1) is slightly further away from the city centre and it’s located on the hillside and there is no way you can walk there, you definitely need a car to reach this place from Petra Visitor Center ( hence please take a cab ) but it was fine for us as we drove. The price we paid was somewhat expensive ( due to its peak season) but all the hotels nearby were on the high side. Rooms are exceptionally clean and it even smell of freshly laundered sheets, good ventilation and breakfast was decent. We had dinner here as well 20JOD for the buffet dinner per person and it was great on the weekend nights but on a weekday nights the menu offering is much limited. Staff are generally friendly but I was turn off by a cook named Ala’a who was attending the egg station during breakfast on 29 October - not only was he slow ( compared to the cook of the previous day - leading to long wait at the station despite less than 30 people in the breakfast place), he was also rude to guests who didn’t really speak English and even told them when they didn’t clearly place their orders- I was observing and it was really bad taste as he scowl at them and this is only coming from a cook at the eggs station - you need mind your customer service ettiquete especially to foreign guests who makes up most of your revenue. The least you can do is smile and not make your guests feel like feel bad about their language when they are ordering their eggs.

Such a warm welcome upon arrival from the man at the reception. He was full of valuable information about the town and visiting Petra with good insights and tricks to avoid being fleeced. It is a short drive from Petra itself as you'll won't want the additional steps in the heat but parking is no issue. Our room had a beautiful view across the town and the roof terrace was a per place to chill and recuperate. My son and I had some nice swims in the pool too.

The boss is very good, the service is in place, providing guests with various needs. The only downside is that it is a little far from the ancient city. If you want to go to the ancient city, you must have a car.

I really like a bubble hotel that satisfies to blow the wind, watch the sunset, watch the stars, and watch the sunrise in the wasteland. The buffet is full of Arabic and European and American flavors, and the food is abundant. In the dim night, I feel that the moon is on the roof. When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I see is the blue sky and the misty white clouds. I feel happy in an instant!
