The location of the hotel is within a short walking distance of the Petra site which means you will not need to worry about parking at the site. The hotel is very clean and the room was one of the largest I have stayed in. The staff were very accommodating and the facilities such as the bar and swimming pools were very well maintained

The hotel staff were welcoming and helpful and sorted me a ticket for the Petra by Night event that evening. The hotel has a parking garage but I was directed to park my hire car on a piece of land on the other side of the culvert. All-in-all a very good hotel.

Hallways are very dark and creepy....lights are on motion sensors that aren’t that sensitive and when the lights are off, it’s very dark. When they clean your room in the morning, they take all the towels from the room and don’t return them until late afternoon. Room had a slight smell. A/C was marginal. Breakfast was included but don’t get your hopes too high. No shampoo or soap. Close to the Petra entrance. Have plug converters to loan. Pool looked okay but didn’t use. Lots of small convenience shops to buy water/snacks.

It's a great location - a five minute walk to Petra one way or a ten minute (up hill) walk to the town of Madi Musa the other. The hotel itself is in pretty rough shape based on how much they charge. The lobby smells of smoke, the furniture and appearance are dated, and the rooms are quite small. There are two pools, but the one they said was heated was ice cold. The buffet and bar were decent. We didn't have a bad experience, but we felt the price was much too high for the condition of the hotel.

They even found me someone to arrange a Wadi Rum tour--although the guide never showed up but that wasn't the hotel's fault. The have a resturant which I ate at for breakfast both days. Decent food--combination of European and American style--limited variety but pretty good given the room rate. The bed was very comfortable and the bath (tub/shower) good as well. The walls were a bit thin--heard my neighbors during the night. Generally, an excellent value during my trip.

Horrible staff and horrible hotel

Beds and bathroom were not clean. Sheets looked old and worn, as did the bathroom towels.

The guy on the reception tried to short change us when we bought our tickets from him for the Petra night tour. He first told us he didn't have any change to give us and to come back after we already paid for our ticket. Then he only gave us half the change until we corrected him telling him what he owed us. He made some silly joke to try and cover his dishonesty. This experience left a sour taste in my mouth from the very beginning.

Wow this place was a dump. Literally the ONLY redeeming quality is its super close to the entrance of Petra (5 min walk). Everything was old and either broken, or never worked to begin with, like the fridge in the room was from the 70's and didnt work because the plug for it was the wrong kind! No soap or in room amenities, the pools were so dirty you couldent see the bottom, and mostof the hotels other amenities such as a souviener shop, bar, and buisness center wereclosed down years ago and stand empty. Staff was curt and unhelpful. They offer a free breakfast, but the quality is questionable, and they ran out of the hot selections within an hour leaving only cold salads and cheeses.

Location really cannot be beat - out the door and you're in Petra in moments. Several little shops in the area too to pick-up snacks to take-in. Didn't try the local restaurants or souvenir shops, but plenty of those too. Also close to the taxi rank for a 2JD ride into the main village. The staff were definitely the best part of the hotel - so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Quite good WiFi. Booked this for the pool, but had such long days in Petra itself, did not get to use the pool or even have a sit-down breakfast, though it looked like a nice spread the one early morning I had time for a quick coffee. Don't expect a luxury hotel or supreme comfort, but it's clean and does the job for a good price.

Poorly maintained and over priced

The Petra Palace Hotel is in a great location, just a three minute walk to the Petra entrance. However, the hotel is poorly maintained and over priced. The bathroom ceiling was rotten and looked like it was about to collapse any minute. There were chunks of wood missing in some door frames and floor railing. Some of the hallway carpets had not been vacuumed in a while, with dust and dirt all over them. The beds were uncomfortable, the towels were scratchy, and there was too little toilet paper provided. Additionally, cleaning staff woke us and our infant up at 7:30am to try to clean the room. And when checking into the hotel, the staff never asked to see ID to prove that we were the individuals who made a reservation.

With taxes, the hotel charged us $200 per night. This is very overpriced for the quality of the hotel.

On the plus side, the hotel has good rates and is located very close to Petra. Also, when I first arrived I could not get the A/C to work but the hotel staff promptly got it functioning. On the negative side, the carpet in the room obviously had not been vacuumed for a long time, I could not adjust the A/C once it was working, the mini-refrigerator would not work, and filthy water came out of the bath tub. The grit appeared to be sand. I thought if I left the water run a while it would clear out but it never did so I had to bathe from the sink.

Great location, okay for the price

The Petra Palace Hotel is in a great location, within easy walking distance of the entrance to Petra with plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from just outside the door. Overall, this is one of those hotels that was probably quite something in its day, but clearly could do with a spiff up now. I'd happily stay there again for the price I paid, but it is a little tired at this point. There are even closer and nicer hotels, if you want to pay for them, but the Petra Palace was spacious, clean and with operating air conditioning. If that is what you need, I'm not sure I'd pay more. Petra itself is spectacular and well worth at least a couple of days.

Older Hotel with no in room Wifi

Nice staff, clean and comfortable. Wifi only available in the lobby and lobby was cold and not very inviting. Otherwise a great place to stay. Breakfast was included and was a very good buffet.

Best option in Wadi Rum

Petra palace is very conveniently located close to the visitor's centre in Wadi rum. This can be a real plus if you are undertaking an ardous trek in Petra during the day. There is no WiFi in rooms and you need to frequent the lobby each time you need to access your facebook / news page. The only English channels available are CNN, BBC and a movie channel. The swimming pool is okay to relax but not a very value added option in Winter.

The breakfast menu is really basic - we had the same menu on all the days we stayed at the Petra Palace. The hotel staff are really helpful and guide you to various tourist spots. The rates are value for money and much preferred to other ones that are very far off from the visitor's centre. The only ATM machine in the lane is inside the Move-n-pick hotel which is close to Petra palace

The rooms can seem a bit dark and the lift does creak and needs maintenance but that's ok for the price you pay
