I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location is fantastic, being just a short walk from Petra, which makes visiting the site incredibly convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my stay more pleasant. However, the rooms left much to be desired; I found them a bit old and not as clean as I hoped, especially given that I booked a non-smoking room but still dealt with a lingering tobacco smell. Overall, it's great for its location and staff, but the room quality could definitely be improved.
