Having stayed at petra couple of times on work related issues, i could recommed the hotel. The restaurant is pretty good and the people at reception are very kind.

Before we arrived at the hotel our taxi driver got completely lost and had to phone for help with directions - so the hotel could be better signposted. When we arrived at the hotel the first face we saw was an incredibly miserable young woman on the desk, but fortunately the manager arrived and he was wonderfully happy and helpful.... More

We booked this hotel in the last possible minute. There were two big events in Rome - U2 concert and Finals of Volleyball world championship and all Roma hotels were blocked. The hotel is far away from the city center. You can reach Rome with bus and metro for about 35-50 minutes depending on the waiting time at the bus... More
