Petra Gate Hostel and Hotel Reviews

The facilities at this hostel are not great, mould in the shower, wires coming out of plug sockets, cold rooms. However, the staff are very nice and helpful and I felt safe. One of the men who works there got up very early at 5am to make us breakfast and gave us packed lunches. Nice staff, could do with some renovations though. 15 min walk to entrance to Petra.

We were happy with our stay. Staff were very accommodating. Clean; room, sheets, towel, . What more do you need for one night?? I do recommend asking for an extra blanket at this time of yr as they turn the heat off at night.

Thank you to the staff and owner (?). Loved the roof-top view and your roof-top directions pointing out what was where--very helpful!!

You can walk to the site from here in about 25 minutes down hill (longer uphill, it's steep!). Bathroom in room was small. Heating was barely working. There is a restaurant with all you can eat food for 6 JOD. Not a bad place for a few nights while saying in Petra.

Great Hostel with nice and helpful staff. Good food for the money! Takes about 25min to walk down to the Petra Ticket Office, the walk up can be a little hard after a full day walking the Roman ruins of Petra!! But walk if you can because the taxi servíce is expensive!!!

Petra Gate was an ok place to stay. The people there are very nice and helpful for setting up trips to nearby points of interests like Wadi Rum. The rooms are a nice size and the beds came with good blankets and all but the heat (I was there in December) was essentially non-existent. The food costs extra and is ok but not great. The location is easy to find and easy to get back to and I always felt safe there.

Very good hotel. It is within walking distance of Petra, at least if you like walking, and the staff were really helpful and kind.

This hostel was more hotel than hostel. There were many private rooms with comfortable beds and personal bathrooms for hostel pricing. In expensive Petra, this was great. The best part about Petra Gate was the service. Joseph and Naser were so helpful in getting us taxis at good prices, telling us where to go get food, and just generally helping us navigate Petra. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Petra who does not want to spend $400 on a luxury hotel!

The place needs renovation/repair/update.

What really made this place great were the staff. They go out of their way to make sure yo have all the unbiased information you need as well as being very welcoming.

This place is good value if you don't want to spend much on accomodation. The rooms are basic but ok. The hostel is pretty well located near some restaurants and shops (good for supplies for petra). Had an issue with hot water in showers when we were there, and with the heating on one night. But this may be sorted now. I have to make a special mention of the fantastic service we got from the young woman who worked at the hotel - really helpful, including organising our onward bus journey.

Very good staff, helpful and very nice to us. View on the top floor is excellent.

A great great hotel! We stayed here for 2 nights and just loved every moment! The staff was so kind and helpful, helped us book our Wadi Rum tour. As 3 Israeli girls we felt very safe and wanted. The rooms were very clean, and the dinner was lovely for people arriving hungry and tired after a long day of traveling or sightseeing...

This a very good place to stay in Petra. The staff is excellent, especially the girl that works at the front desk. She would everything she can to make your stay great. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and nice. They also have a very nice rooftop with a very beautiful view of the city and nargile. You should stay here if you go to Petra!

the staff is really friendly and helpful

Very helpful Manager and Staff - the real face of Jordan! Good location high up in Wadi Musa, looking down on Petra. Really nice bedroom, only problem is that water from shower in ensuite runs out a little too much. The management should look at this issue. This wouldn't put me off staying there, as I believe the Staff are a great advert for Jordan. Glad to recommend Petra Gate!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Did I mention it was awesome? Lina is a real darling and had everything all ready for us when we arrived. Great free breakfast, close to Petra, near all the good restaurants. Very highly recommended.

very helpful staff, nice location, transfer to Petra in the morning. breakfast, lunch box and dinner - all great value for the money involved.

The staff was very warm and very very helpful. Location is excellent. The superwoman laiya ( if i got it right) makes everything go right. They just need to up on their cleanliness a bit. I would surely recommend this place.

Petra Gate is a great place to stay as the staff go above and beyond to help with what you need and you are treated as one of the family. I definately will recommend to anyone wanting to visit Petra!
