Silk Road Hotel

Wish I could rate it better. However, they are in the midst of some significant renovations. We ended up with a tiny room across the street from the hotel proper. The meals were very marginal. The main advantage is that it is close to the Petra gate. Things should be better when they finish their renovations.

Location is great very easy walk to the entry point to Petra gates. Staff hospitality friendly and the lentil soup and meatballs delicious at dinner. Agree with other breakfast is all you need but not spectacular. The room was clean. Provide water.

(I went with sister, not a family choice that Trip Advisor asks in "who did you go with?") Beautiful hotel, nice breakfast and lunch buffets, beautiful grounds with nice gardens and several swimming pools, entertainment at night, and of course, access to the Dead Sea with helpful attendants.

Clean comfortable hotel. Very large rooms . Good value for money. East walk to the visitors center and museum. Staff were friendly and helpful and organized us a ride to Wadi Rum for a good price in a 4x4. Breakfast was okay but we had better on our trip.

The best part about the hotel is its location. It's 5 minute's walk to the petra visitor centre. About 7-8 minutes from the petra cave bar. This itself is a big enough reason to prefer the hotel. Specially once you are tired after a day long hike inside petra, you would always appreciate a short walk back to this hotel, which we did. We had a very simple room, overlooking nothing. The other rooms in the hotel might have a view but we were given a room just beside a dumping ground. All the staffs in the reception were nice, helpful though they are not exactly proficient in English. But that would really not be a hinderance. You will get your work done. The breakfast was included in the package and they were of average quality and choices. For the price they charge, i would recommend it for those who want to save little extra bucks for luxurious accomodation in wadi rum or dead sea. Petra is one place where i would suggest everyone not to splurge on accomodation as you will mostly be outside hiking. But if you are looking for a basic standard of luxury, skip this place and choose movenpick which is even nearer to petra visitor centre but which will come at double the costs if not more.

Clean, basic amenities, good wifi in the rooms. Friendly staff and excellent service. Great location, close to Petra visitor centre and close to restaurants. Reasonable price which reflects the standard of the hotel. Quite dated but other than that - no real issue.
