Saba'a Hotel Reviews

I had a wonderful stay at Saba'a Hotel. Gail was very friendly, and offered good advice on visiting Petra. She helped me pick up Petra by Night tickets since I was arriving late in the evening. The only downside is that the hotel is on the hill, and it takes about 15 to 20 mins downhill to reach the Petra entrance. However, Gail's warm hospitality more than makes up for it, and she will gladly help arrange for transport to anywhere else in Jordan.

A good choice in Petra/Wadi Musa. The breakfast is large and generous, they can make fair-priced packed lunches, the dorm rooms are spacious and do not have bunk beds, and the staff is very helpful. I definitely recommend it!

The owner was very helpful and the room was cute and clean. It is an uphill walk to the hostel from Petra, but we had many offers from taxis for a lift up the hill for 1 JD so I don't think that's a problem. The breakfast and packed lunches were also very tasty. Overall I think this hostel is good value for money.

Saba'a Hotel was a very comfortable experience. Gail and Ibrahaim operate this hotel, and they are both very friendly and helpful. We stayed 2 nights in Saba'a as we took a couple of days to explore Petra, the entrance to which is just down the hill from the hotel. Private bathroom, but only had hot water in morning and evening. Breakfast included, which was basic but good. They set up a tour for us to Wadi Rum to explore and camp in the desert. Good recommendation.

My friends and I stayed at the Saba'a Hotel last week while we toured Petra, and it was a fantastic find! Ibrahim and Gail are very cool people and truly caring hosts, and they made sure we had a great time. Ibrahim even took us out for good local food and a cave bar in Petra! Thanks for everything guys, it was a pleasure to stay with you.

Location is very good with shops pharmacy post restaurants nearby. Parking available infront. Arriving by car look left for WesternUninon, next turn right (map shows a roundabout - but it is a triangle). Couple who runs the hotel is excellent - helpfull caring competent. Dormitory provides quality beds, pillow, linen, blanket, towell. Bring earplugs! All you can eat brakfast - perfect. Lunch boxes available - necessary in Petra. As guest you get discount in hammam - I recommend. Go, visit, stay!

Saba'a Hotel is a nice, clean, safe, hostel-hotel with an incredibly helpful staff. The breakfast is very tasty. Saba'a is about a 20 minute walk downhill to Petra and about 30-40 minute walk uphill (and very doable, as I never once took a taxi) back to Saba'a. Buy your water before entering Petra or Wadi Musa if you can (cause water is pricey). But if you can't, buy the water at the store across the street.

Stayed 3 nights in the dorm and was very content. Great people run the place, and the location is perfect for being in the heart of town Petra entrance is a nice 15-minute walk. Only complaint would be the wall that separates the dorm area from the breakfast area, which provides very little noise insulation. The problem is not the thin plywood but that it does not fully reach the ceiling...that could (and should) be easily fixed.

Really, a very nice place to stay. It's a good price for the money, given how pricy everything can be in and around Petra during the high season especially. Yes, it's a bit of an uphill walk from the main gate of Petra, but it's RIGHT in the middle of town with cheap shop across the street or a few really good local Jordanian restaurants right there too. Also, the couple who runs the place are super helpful, friendly and charming. It's a great place to stay, hang out and meet other travelers!

We could not have stayed at a better place, especially for this price! It's hard to find a weak point of this hotel. Some might say the location, but we liked that it was in the middle of everything you need at wadi musa (shops, restaurants, shisha-café's, etc). There was attention paid to decorating the rooms and hallways and everything was very clean. The packed lunch is highly recommended! We would definitely stay here again and recommend Saba'a Hotel to anyone going to Petra.

the owner of the hotel is english, she is friendly and very very helpful. the rooms are clean and well decorated. the rooftop view is amazing! definitely a good place to stay if you visit petra. teng from bangkok thailand

The living room is cozy and is a good place to take a rest after your visit to Petra since there are not so many interesting places in Wadi Musa. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Gail does everything to make sure that you have the best time there. Ibrahim is the craziest guy in the world. You lose something if you leave without playing with him. Thank you very much!

A good value. The breakfast, while simple, was better than most other hostels in the same price range. The location is a ways up the hill from the entrance to Petra but this is actually advantageous, as there are lots of shops and cheap restaurants just a short walk from the front door. If you are staying in the dorm, know that the dining room is right beside where you will be sleeping, separated by only a very thin wall. Expect to be woken early. Also, there are limited hours for hot water.

The owners are very friendly and helpful. The hurriedly converted dining hall or discotheque!! is now partly a dorm and breakfast area. the problem is that the mornings starting at 6am is quite noisy with the clutter clatter at the breakfast area. another this being a cellar and all the drain pipes from the upper floor run in the cellar, a continuous run of water bogs down the sleep. the toilet and bathroom don't have ventilation and sometimes the room smells of shit!

The nicest staff in Jordan! Thanky you so much for a lovely stay!

Fabulous place and lovely people!

Very nice place!The owner is amazing and very helpful.Very good breakfast.Unfortunately one of the dorm room is too close to the kitchen with a very tiny wood wall and people starts to come for the breakfast at 6:30 and they waked us up.But in this way you can enjoy the beautiful Petra all day long!

A basic hotel in the center of Wadi Musa with a very friendly hardworking English owner. There are single, double, triple rooms and even a dorm for very reasonable prices (bearing in mind this is one of the most visited places on earth). The rooms are simple and clean, and heated when it is cold. Beds are comfortable, with quilts. Due to lack of water in the area, warm showers are restricted to evenings and mornings. There is a good breakfast buffet, and possibility of ordering a lunchpack.

first off kudos to gsil, she communicated with me by email before i left home and answered all my dumb questions, she is a wonderfull innkeeper and takes excellent care to make sure your visit to wadi moussa and petra goes smoothly, plus she has a very good breakfast and box lunch for visiting petra, i highly recommend staying here, john david from texas

Saba'a Hotel offers excellent value-for-money with the facilities it provides. Gail and Ibrahim are exceptionally helpful and friendly, will help your sort out all you need to know about travel plans and what to see / do in Petra. Location is great too: right next to quite a few good restaurants, supermarkets, and straight downhill 15 minute walk to Petra complex.
