We stayed in 3 hotels during our week's stay in Jordan - the Intercontinental, Amman; the Marriot, Dead Sea; and, unfortunately, the Marriot, Petra. On the face of it, it looked good - stunning views from the front of the hotel over the mountains, a nice exterior, and a nice entrance lobby. Looks are deceptive. The front desk staff forced...

First, the positives. The sunset was fabulous, and the view from the hotel was amazing. The food (ala carte and room service) was above average. However, we were quite taken aback by the attitude of the front desk staff when we asked for a change in room. The walls were wafer-thin, and we could clearly listen to our neighbours chit-chatting.... More

We recently stayed at the Marriott in Petra. April4,5 2012 This lovely hotel is situated on the hills overlooking the valley. We had a lovely room overlooking the valley. Since the hotel is located away from the Petra site it was not over run by tourists. Unlkie the Movenpick which is always surrounded by tourist buses. Breakfast was delicious. One... More

Dated hotel with limited restaurants and facilities. Location is fine if you have a car and shuttle service provided to Petra (one way only) with panoramic views of the mountains to enjoy at sunset. Rooms clean and staff are friendly but no wifi apart from the lobby (and if you leave the lobby during your prepaid time the connection is... More

The hotel as other reviewers have said is beautifully located, service is perfect on the whole. Only minor crisis was the iced watery mohitas or were they flavoured ice water? Yes bought the Petra...

To use the internet, i had to go to the lobby. Moreover, i had to buy either 1/2 hour or 2 hour block. It seems the... More

We stayed at this hotel for four nights. EVerything about the place was perfect from the staff to the decor to the chauffeur service. I can't really add much more to the already great reviews other than to say I would love to stay at this place again.

Very friendly. Good food. Excellent views. I myself recommended this hotel to my friends.

I would have expected more from a Marriott. I agree with reviewer DMM_8. The hotel has the most amazing views, but the new Movenpick has the same view too and is only 2 mins drive from this Marriott. That is about the best I can say of this hotel as this hotel needs a serious revamp ! Staff does not... More
