The rooms were freezing and the blankets were really bad. Had a freezing cold night even though it wasn't that cold outside.

Mohammed, the owner, definitely gives the hotel its unique character and makes it worth staying! Great guy, great hostel. Had free rides to the Petra site, great location (amazing schwarma nearby), also helped arrange for a night stay in a Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum, amazing experience. Highly recommended.

Located very close to the bus station, very friendly staff. The free transport to the Petra site was arranged immediately. Very good value for the price.

It's a nice place to stay in Petra. Transportation to the site is free everytime. The atmosphere is very good and nice place for a laugh even if the manager is a bit crazy (magnum).

I would highly recommend this hotel in Wadi Musa as Mohamed made our stay incredible. He pretty much made everything \"easy\" for us in terms of transportation to the Petra gate and most of all he organized our Wadi Rum trip and then being dropped off at the Ferry terminal in Aqaba... Again, I would highly recommend this place for the location, rooms, and the welcoming feeling of the place...

The hostel was cheap and close to Petra, easily walkable or through a free ride from the hostel. Staff seemed helpful, however it was a typical hostel for the price. Rooms were clean, but older.

simple, clean and comfortable accommodation. Staff very friendly. the bread store next to the accommodation cheated us money, the boss fought for us and we got our money back. ;>

Owner was a little tricky, the "free" shuttle was not free. And the lunch packs were a major rip. Great location though, especially if you are arriving on the bus from Aqaba, its a very short walk to Orient Gate.
