Petra Guest House

Petra Guest House Hotel

Petra, Jordan

The Petra Guest House Hotel is perfect for those who want the best location in Petra on a reasonable budget. It's just a stone's throw from the entrance to the site, and enjoys wonderful views of the sandstone mountains that hide the lost city.

Rooms are simple but comfortably furnished, with many housed in chalets nestled in the property's stony grounds.

The guesthouse has a certain laid-back charm that makes guests feel at home, and its Cave Bar, carved out of an ancient cave, is Petra's best spot for a quiet drink and some local entertainment.

OUR OPINION:

We think this is a good option for your time in Petra due to its wonderful location. While the hotel lacks facilities such as a swimming pool, it makes up for this with its characterful bar and convenient position.

OUR RATING: Medium

      The tour begins with the walk down from the site entrance to the beginning of the Siq. This path is flanked with typical rock-cut tombs that are a very small precursor of the drama to come. The most impressive of these preliminary tombs is the Obelisk tomb.
