  • Petra palace has become a lot better in the past few months.
    I was not too happy about the place when i was there in october 2008 as a lot of electrical installations and other things did not work, but this has been changed now 5 months later.
    The place is now a very well run place and the rooms are realy good and everything works fine there.
    The location right by the entrance to Petra is very nice too.

    Unique Qualities: very friendly staff and a good location.

  • The taybet zaman is a 5 star hotel of my liking.
    Itīs nothing like your average boring Hilton or Marriot, but a very unique and tasty hotel buiold in a way so it bleds in with the local architecture in the small village where it is situated.
    It has all the facilities you can expect from a good hotel like pool, good restaurants, a buisness room a sauna, etc.
    The rooms are situated in small one story buildings and have a very local touch.
    Itīs not like many other luxury hotels where you donīt know whther you are in Petra or Pittsburgh.

  • Petra Inn is in most ways your average tourist hotel, but it is a bit tired in some ways.
    The bothrooms were falling a bit apart in some of the rooms and the hotel is a not very well lit and a bit of a dark place.
    The staff was very nice though, especially at the restaurant and i would go back there again even if it wouldn't be my first choice.

    Unique Qualities: Good location.
