Al Rashid Hotel

Al Rashid Hotel is the best of all worlds--an easy walk to the main gate to Petra, very much a part of the living town of Wadi Musa, and an island of peace and graciousness that one feels as soon as one enters its doors. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, and the hotel serves a delicious breakfast! I was traveling with my elderly father, and I was moved by how the hotel staff treated him honor, respect, and gentleness.

We had a triple room and there wasn't much space and even the wardrobe was hard to get to. As we had a spare bed we used that for our things. We stayed two nights but the room wasn't serviced. Breakfast was included and was fine but the earliest service is 6:30am so if you plan to go to Petra when the gates open you will have to give it a miss. They will pack a lunch for you at additional cost. Beware of parking. Hotels.com indicates that parking is available. This isn't the case, you have to park in the street. Twice we parked in the street and were moved on by locals who didn't want us parking there even though it was perfectly legal. Having moved our car to a third parking spot we left our car overnight only to find that someone had scratched the bonnet/hood which meant we ended up going to the police station to get a report. The hotel were very helpful in sorting this out for us but one of the reasons that we chose the hotel was that Hotels.com indicated "Free Parking".

Very expensive for what you are getting. Room are dated and not very clean.

They don't have stable hot water supply. We took a cold water shower.

Great value for money. Decent restaurants nearby, a post Petra beer in the Movenpick was about the same price as dinner at Al Rashid!

place was nice and the staff was helpful, we booked our next day trip to wadi rum at the counter and it was very simple. breakfast was uneven. first day we woke up early and it was great, next day we got in an hour later and although it looks like it’s served fresh for every customer it was dried up... still alright though. clean room, small but we didn’t need more. one king bed is 2 singles stuck together with the nightstand that’s usually between the 2 beds moved to some random place in the room. i go into details but honestly, the place was fine. most place in wadi musa are very similar no matter what you pay. This one has 2 great restaurants right next. the one that is run by the hotel and the one right in front. just don’t expect alcool :)

Just the price, The property was very old in bad conditions

The owner gave us a warm greeting. He easily gave us an early check in at 12:30 once the room was cleaned. The room was simple and clean. The mattress was firm and comfortable — we slept well. The shower was hot and water plentiful in the evening. The breakfast was a simple nice breakfast of scrambled eggs, ham, hummus, yogurt, cheese, honey and pita bread. The staff was friendly and helpful ... they even helped me to get a bag of ice when I had a foot injury and had a small packed breakfast when ready when we had to take a minibus the next day to Wadi Run. In the neighborhood, there was good easy access to restaurants, Arab bank atms and grocery stores. The owner has a casual inexpensive restaurant next door and the shawarma and lentil soup was very good. There is a higher end and more expensive restaurant across the street with excellent food, freshly baked bread and good service. For downsides there really isn’t any issues. There were very minor things like the shower booth was small and one side of the closet door didn’t open but it didn’t affect us in any way. We cabbed it to the Petra entrance. The taxi would try to charge us 6 dinar but we always managed to negotiate it to 2 dinars. We had a very enjoyable stay here and would be happy to come back again. Thank you for a very nice stay!

Very basic, bit pricey for what you get. Very simple Breakfast. Some rooms can be very noisy if they are facing roundabout which all traffic has to get through. Good location for restaurants, and walking distance from Petra Entrance (< 10 mins, downhill outwards)

The owner off the place was very welcoming.resturant was very good however I was overcharged as they used the local currency and not USD.when I questioned this method I was told it was cheaper yet it was R300 Zar more. I showed the online hotels.com printout but it was disregarded. Waleed the owner was not there at this point. Also the toilet door handle was broken I left too early in the morning to pursue it..
