Madaba Hotels with Pools

Madaba is Jordan's famous mosaic city. An ancient map of the Christian churches records the location of Palestine thousands of years ago. The hotel is close to the church and other famous attractions, such as the hill where Moses once lived. The whole service of the hotel is still very good.

Mariam Hotel is definitely a bit dated, but in general it’s not a bad hotel. There were a lot of positive aspects during my stay, but I have to be honest about the negatives too, which I will elaborate on later. Firstly location is excellent. Everything is within walking distance, and you’re surrounded by a multitude of cafes, restaurants, and convenience stores. I didn’t really converse a lot with the staff, but everyone seemed friendly enough. Breakfast was quite substantial, and I really liked that most items were clearly labelled. There are filtered water stations throughout the building where you can refill your water bottles for free. WiFi was very good. My room was spacious, comfortable, and despite being a little worn around the edges - it was clean. Bedding and towels smelled fresh. Now for the negative issues, which I feel I need to be honest about so you can make an informed choice about booking based on facts: I was there for 2 nights, during my stay I had 4 showers - 3 of which were freezing cold. I thought maybe this was due to the water being heated by solar panels, as the only time I had a relatively warm shower was at around 4pm. If this is the case, good luck during the winter months! The wardrobe/cupboard had a damp musty smell. I was going to hang some clothes up, but decided not to. There was also a blanket in there which I was going to use, but that smelt like mildew. Maybe I just got unlucky with my room, as plenty of other people seemed to really enjoy their stay. But because of what I experienced I would not stay here again, not unless the management could guarantee these issues had been resolved.

Stayed here for one night in May 2023. Pros: 1) The place is 15 min walk to the town centre. There are several restaurants nearby. You can reach all important sights by walk. 2) The wifi was free with good speed and connectivity. 3) The tariff is cheap. 4) The room and bathrooms were clean and spacious. 5) Bathroom had all modern amenities. 6) The front desk staff spoke good English. 7) There is parking available behind the hotel. 8) The place is quite at night and sleep quality was good. 9) The breakfast spread was decent (not great). And the breakfast is served early 7:00 am. Cons: 1) The quality of breakfast could be improved. The food did not seem very fresh.

The hotel is really beautiful, very modern and new. The rooms are a great size. The staff is friendly and pleasant. The hotel is located very close to the center of Madaba. The breakfast was fantastic, with a large selection of different dishes. After a tiring day of walking and sightseeing, the wonderful swimming pool was the best addition. We liked our stay here so much that we returned for another night at the end of the trip.
