We stayed at the Movenpick Petra for 2 nights in March for my 30th Birthday. We loved Petra itself but this hotel is a huge rip off. True they are right on the doorstep of the gates into Petra, but this was its only plus point. On arrival we were informed that we had been upgraded to a suite (I... more

We stayed three nights at the Movenpick and had a wonderful time. We loved the sitting room off the lobby/bar -- wonderfully decorated in the Arab style. We ate breakfast in and that was good, as most are in this part of the country. Try a late evening snack or dinner in the bar. We also had a wonderful dinner... more

Visited this hotel whilst on a trip to Petra from Egypt, In my opinion the hotel was superb, lovely decor and very clean. Didnt actually stay in the hotel but had a wonderful meal in the restauramt, there was a fantastic range of delicious food available, the puddings were amazing. The staff were very friendly, helpful and courteous The hotel... more

Our 3rd floor room was large, spacious, bright and very comfortably furnished. The beds were particularly comfortable. Air conditioning was efficient and almost silent. Everything in the room was sparkling clean. Tea/coffee-making facilities were provided. The fair-sized bathroom sparkled too, and had bath, WC, excellent shower, washbasin and bidet and a good selection of bathroom ameneties. But for this, my... more

Rooms were average for the price paid. We had an interior view, meaning no window, just a view of the lobby with lots of noise from the front desk. Front desk staff were not helpful and had our online reservation wrong. They also were no help when we asked questions about other places in Jordan, if we weren't using their... more

It is so annoying to have to recommend this hotel simply on the basis of the fact that it has by far the best location to Petra. Otherwise, it things so highly of itself - and prices itself accordingly - despite being at best average. The decor is a total failure, particularly because it doesn't look like it was cheap.... more

We were a little hestiant to book here as other reviews stressed that although this hotel was great for 'tour groups' that independent travellers were overlooked.....well we needn't have worried! We stayed 3 nights in a Junior Suite and the staff could not have been more attentive. The stay was perfect. The location is fantastic for Petra and the hotel... more

The room was lovely, but very expensive compared to the experience. The front desk staff was very indifferent. Internet time was an additional, expensive charge. There is a computer is the 'library', but it is 'for staff only'. The fine dining restaurant staff was very nice, but the food was horrible. The tea room was pleasant; with a nice mezza... more

Reviews had talked about indifferent service, but we found most staff helpful and willing to help. Thsi was a good thing as the roof garden wasn't open, there was no one some of the many advertsied eating places and there were a lot of tour parties to negotiate around. The room was nice, but overlooked the bus park which menat... more
