My Home Petra — Hotel in Maan

Small and modest place compared to the other big posh places near the Petra-gate. We had trouble finding it, you have to enter via the parking lot of Candles Hotel. (Would have helped it there was a sign on the wall.) Then it turned out our booking (by email) went wrong so it seems best to book by booking.com which we usually do. But we got a room anyway...and from then on it went excellent. The host Mahmoud is really friendly, helpful and knowledgable. The room is great: very spacey with kitchenette, big breakfast table and excellent bed. Enough living room for our active 1-year-old! Breakfast is served in your room at any time you like (probably early to have a good start at Petra). Only thing is, there's a mosque just opposite the hotel and obviously this makes some noise early in the morning. But somehow the prayer calls in Jordan are really short and efficient, so it didn't bother us. All by all a truly enjoyable place if you want to avoid the big hotels. And a really big plus is that the hotel is very near the Petra-gate, only a...

The hotel is a 5min walk from the Petra entrance and in the other direction from the restaurants. It is a 5 min drive from the bus station. The owner picked us up from there. It features big rooms with kitchenette and big bathroom. There is also AC and TV Available, as well as a fridge (ours was not working). The hotel features internet, but it's extra. The restaurants in the centre have free wifi.||The hotel is next to a minaret. Expect the 5am heart attack every morning. It is very very loud.||The beds are quite comfortable, but our linens were not clean and slept in. We asked for new ones and we were given 2 sets, a freshly washed one and another used one. Towels are available, but also not clean. Toiletries are available, but I'd pass those one too (they seemed old)||The room has a breakfast plan, which is brought to your room. It's not the richest, but quite decent. There's tea, instant coffee, jam, spread, baloney, yogurt, sesame seasoning, olive oil, bread.||The owner is very helpful.||But due to the lack of cleanliness I would...

I spent three nights at My Home Petra. The accommodation is basic, but it was adequate for my needs - I didn’t plan on spending any time there apart from to sleep.||I was given one towel and one half used toilet roll. The room wasn’t serviced during my stay, so I had to ask for a replacements. The water was hot, although it took an age to heat up.||Breakfast was okay, with enough staples to fill you up before hitting Petra. It starts at 7am - I’d have preferred an earlier start if I’d had the option. Tea, coffee and biscuits are available 24/7 - just help yourself. They also do picnic bags but I didn’t get one so I can’t comment on them.||They have an arrangement with a restaurant nearby (10% discount) which is actually very good. The food is better than the others in the vicinity in my opinion.||I was driving and there’s no dedicated parking spaces - luckily I found one close by. ||It takes about 20 minutes to walk to Petra, maybe 25 to walk back as...
