Spend there two nights, December 31st 2005, and January 1st 2006. Hotel was Ok. It has the design of a big resort, with rooms attached like bungalows, a swimming pool, and all the rooms facing the arenisque mountains of Petra, which provides really spectacular views. The location is the best, just 500 metres from Petra Visitors Centre, gate to Petra ancient location.
In some hotel lists this hotel is shown as a 5 star hotel, and in some others as a 4 star hotel. It's a 4 star hotel, not more. Rooms are nice, and well equipped, but some of the furniture needs urgent renewing. Specially chairs and wood chest of drawers, which were literally broken.
Also restaurant facilies are quite standard, and nothing special. Had New Year's Eve dinner at Olive Restaurant, inside the hotel, and was quite mediocre.
Unique Qualities: Absolute and unique views from every room. Together with its locations, are the best things that his hotel have.
So, if you don't have a limited budget and can spend a little bit more money, Mövenpick hotel is the right choice for Petra. It's also very near Petra entrance and it is much better than Crowne Plaza.
