Petra Marriott Hotel

“A very luxurious hotel with even better service.”

What a wonderful experience. Mr. Farajat and his team, especially and foremost Mr. Musa do a wonderful job to make their guests feel at home or even better, don't want to leave to go home !

What a wonderful experience. Mr. Farajat and his team, especially and foremost Mr. Musa do a wonderful job to make their guests feel at home or even better, don't want to leave to go home ! The hotel is a bit outside of Wadi Musa but has a frequent shuttle to Petra. The big upside of this situation is that is wonderful quiet. The rooms were spacious and clean, maybe a bit dated (eg no USB outlets) but in great shape. The mountain view towards Petra was amazing, especially in the evening as the sun went down. Breakfast consists of western and local cuisine, I liked the fact that many dishes had a little explanation. Everything I tasted was very good. Overall, I would come back any time, especially as I have never felt so welcome and been treated warm-hearted as here. At the moment the pool is closed (no problem, it's too cold anyways) and the hotel is being extended. From the pictures shown - I am very sure it will be even nicer.

“Good stay!”

We had an amazing stay at the Marriott Petra, and it truly elevated our visit to one of the world’s most iconic sites.

We had an amazing stay at the Marriott Petra, and it truly elevated our visit to one of the world’s most iconic sites. The hotel is conveniently located about 15 minutes from the Petra Visitor Center, making it a perfect base for exploring the ancient city without being in the middle of the crowds. If possible, definitely book a room with a view of the valley—the scenery is absolutely stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset. The breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options, and the dinner buffet was also very good with plenty of choices. The hotel’s location is peaceful and scenic, but it’s worth noting that there aren’t many restaurants or shops nearby. However, the hotel offers a shuttle to the Petra area, where you’ll find plenty of dining options and small stores. Since there are no grocery shops or liquor stores close to the hotel, it’s a good idea to bring along snacks or your own beverages if you prefer. While the stay was wonderful, one thing we missed was a gym, which would’ve been a valuable addition, especially after long days of hiking through Petra. Overall, Marriott Petra delivers comfort, great service, and beautiful views—highly recommended for anyone visiting Petra, whether for adventure, relaxation, or family travel.

“Short comfortable stay, but Restaurant Experience Was Uncomfortable”

We stayed for one night at the Petra Marriott Hotel to visit Petra and arrived a bit earlier than planned, around 12:00 noon. We had booked a premium room with a nice view. At check-in, the reception staff were friendly, but there was some confusion about our room situation. Without clearly explaining it to us, we were first given a standard room as a temporary solution while our actual premium room was still being prepared. The bellboy who brought our luggage and escorted us to the room did not mention that this was only a temporary room either ( he did not know it ) , so both my wife and I initially thought this was our final room category. When we later returned to the front desk to clarify the situation, the misunderstanding was resolved quickly, and after another 30 minutes our real premium room was ready. For that, we are thankful. The premium room itself was quiet and cozy, and we slept very well. We had a beautiful view over the Petra valley and the mountains, and we could also see the pool, even though the room window was rather small. The hotel is located on a hill, and the Petra Ticket Office / Visitor Center is only a short taxi ride away, usually around 5–10 JOD depending on the season. Since we were out all day exploring Petra and left early the next morning around 8 a.m., our overall stay at the hotel was quite short. After returning from Petra in our “adventurer” outfits, we had dinner in the restaurant near the bar. To be completely honest, we felt a bit uncomfortable with some of the staff there, as we occasionally received long, direct, and somewhat strange looks. It didn’t feel very welcoming, even though the food itself was okay. The next morning, check-out went smoothly. Both the security guard and the receptionist were very friendly and professional. We also realized that we were missing an item, and the receptionist and the staff we spoke to were very kind and supportive in trying to help us. Overall, the room and the view were great, and the front desk and security staff left a positive impression, but the communication at check-in and the atmosphere in the restaurant could be improved to make all guests feel more comfortable. But I can recommend the hotel for a stay in Petra after all.
