This was an excellent hostel. The owner, Nasser, was extremely hospitable; he even sat down and played the oud for us! The location features a small restaurant, bagged lunches, laundry, wi-fi, and tickets to Petra at Night. They even drove us to Petra and paid for taxis when they could not! I highly recommend this hostel.

nice hostel..Clean rooms, good location in the centre of the town about 20 mins walk from the gate. My room didnt have air con but it was surprisingly cool (it had three windows overlooking the valley and there was a lovely breeze). The owner is lovely. He was still awake to welcome me at 2am and drove us down to petra in the morning and was happy to help arrange cheap taxis or anything else we needed etc.

The manager of hotel, Naser, picked up us from Petra by his car and said "hello" in our language. The receptionist, Lea, gave us her own clothes, that

It's cheap for a reason! The ensuite private rooms sinks hanigng off the walls and toilets you have to use sideways due to lack of space. The beds sheets were clean, but very stained. The rooms didn't lok like they had been cleaned recently, there were marks all over the mirrors and dust and cobwebs in corners. The people in the room next door had earwigs in their room. We lasted one night and then moved...

The hotel's location close in Wadi Musa was nice in that you felt close to the Jordanians (whom were very nice -- except when they're trying to scam you in Petra). However, the location is not very close to Petra. The hostel description suggested that there was a shuttle to Petra, but neglected to mention it didn't run until 7:30am. Further, it's not clear that there is no shuttle back.
The room I stayed in was a private single. There was a strange smell throughout the room for awhile and exp

The staff went out of their way to be extremely helpful and accommodating. We highly recommend Petra Gate Hostel and Hotel for those who are looking for a place that caters to your every need, especially in a foreign country. Its services could not have been more convenient.

Nasser (the owner) and his assistant Lea were very welcoming and gracious. Felt right at home the moment I came in the door. Very sumptuous buffet dinner of local Arabic meals for 5JD.
