Just returned from a stay at the CP Petra this month and have nothing but extremely good things to say about this hotel. First of all, the property, grounds and our room were spotless. This hotel has one of the best views of the park and is only a few minutes walk away from the entrance. Both the interior &... more

the hotel looks old and it IS old. Lights are not switched on in the day so some corners are alittle dark. Theres a laid back feeling i get from all the staffs there.. and they werent esp helpful or fast when checking in. The rooms do not have a view of petra - unlike wat they keep saying! Breakfast... more

The Good: The hotel is a five-minute walk from the entrance to Petra. The back of the hotel overlooks lovely desert mountain scenery. The breakfast buffet offers a wide selection of food and is good place to fuel up before a long day of hiking. The Bad: The quality of the rooms is closer to that of a motel than... more

This hotels offers you the closest possible access to Petra. This is especially appreciated when you exit Petra after a long hot day. The hotel seems a bit dated, but my room was renovated and up to Crowne Plaza standards. Didn't really have any complaints, except from one night when room service did not answer my calls for quite some... more

Absolutely the only thing going for this hotel is location. This hotel is old, unmaintained, and overpriced. (our hotel room door would not lock from the outside, the screen door would not slide, etc) There are two restaurants only one of which is open every day. The buffet food is average at best. At Petra watch out for vendor scams.... more

Very convenient for Petra visitors centre, only 300m away. Some of the other hotels are a shuttle bus ride away. Comfortable enough for a few days and staff seem efficient. Breakfast is buffet type with a very wide selection and is served from 6.30 to 11. The breakfasts were very good. Dinner isserved by buffet or from the card. The... more

Selected the Crowne Plaza Hotel because of its proximity to Petra - and what a good choice! Right at the gates, literally 5 mins from our room. Unfortunately the room itself was stuck in the sixites, lots of orange paint with dodgey MDF veneer furniture in a pretty cramped double room. The was a fridge and kettle though bathroom could... more

Not the best hotel we have ever stayed in, but also not the worst. Check in went smoothly enough, staff not the friendliest, but they were effecient. The room was supposed to be duluxe,but it was just like a room in a best western in Australia. Kettle didn't work and when we asked for another one we were told ok,... more

Good location, walking distance from the entrance to Petra. Ask for a room with a view of the mountains (not the car park!). We had the choice of a standard room, with mountain view or deluxe on the ground floor and there is no comparison. We took the room with the view, even though it was smaller. The sunset over... more
