“Good Enough”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights last Nov/Dec, 2 on arrival and 1 before departure. The first room we were in was absolutely fine, what I would expect from a 3* hotel, booked as part of a tour companies itinery. Arrived at 2am and promptly slipped down the steps of our minibus, the hotel staff could not have been nicer, getting me ice and making sure I got to my room ok.
The breakfast buffet food was a little lack-lustre, although there was plenty of food to choose from, just not the sort of thing I would want for breakfast.....houmous anyone?
The room we were given for our 3rd and final night was a let down. Unlike the first room, this had a tiled floor and not carpet, I felt the need to take a wet wipe to my feet having crossed the room after showering. I didn't complain because on the whole this had been a good hotel and my whole experience in Jordan had been fantastic, so this seemed quite minor.

“Average hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

Simply good for the price
Nothing unique about it
Location was very poor
My room ceiling leaked they changed the room but some how it was related to the snow
I won't go For it again
The food is poor too their resultant Venice is disastrous nothing unique about the breakfast

The whole trip was terrible because of the weather roads closed you can't walk and was freezing
I don't think I will choose it again

“A Wonderful Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

I spent at week at this hotel end of Nov. into the begining of Dec. 2012. I have nothing bad to say about this hotel. The staff was very friendly, room service was excellent. The bed was so comfortable I wanted to take it with me. I would recommend this place to my friends. It was more than I expected.

“Nothing palatial about this hotel!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

We were part of a tour group that stayed in this hotel for two nights. After having been told that we are checking in at a 4 star hotel, my expectations were along that line. However, after entering our room, all hopes were dashed. It was not anywhere near a half star! Termites were eating up our doorframe. The supposedly white towels are almost gray. On our first night, we were awakened around 1 am by a heavy pounding on our door. Turns out there was a drunk guest who could not remember his room. We immediately called reception to interfere but by the time hotel personnel got to our room, the rowdy person could not be found. The hotel personnel looked irritated as if we made the whole thing up! Am definitely suggesting to our tour operator not to book future tour on this hotel!
