Alanbat Hotel

Standard three-star hotel. Swimming pool was empty while I stayed at this hotel. Wi-Fi connection was not great, not terrible. Rooms were nice. There was a great view from dining room. Hotel has a very good localization, near to Petra (about 5 minutes with a car).

A real mixed bag - fantastic views from balconies, restaurant, bar. Some real refurbishment but some parts unreformed, so you get nice ceiling with old repaired bath. Very good strong lighting and rough looking old air con. Problems were: Internet very variable and sometimes not work in at all, TV not connected so not working, shower poor and weak and toilet paper is one enormous roll in dispenser, but was absent first night. Pool and hammam closed for renovation (March 2023). Breakfast very decent but nothing special for Jordan. People nice.

The room was very pleasant for what we got. Very nice vibes. Heater worked fine and bed was extremely comfortable. The hot water didn't seem to work though. Absolute highlight was the 10JD dinner which was some upside chicken and rice - traditional Jordanian dinner and it was wonderful. Many places charge way too much for food with such small quantities but this really made my trip to Jordan. Staff was also excellent and very friendly. The free breakfast was also great with some really nice omelette. Balcony view was exceptional due to the height of the building on a mountain

First and worth considering is that this hotel is NOT located for quick easy access to the Petra visitor centre, you will need to wait for the shuttles to start (an hour after Petra opens) or taxi there. We had two rooms during our stay. The first had dirty bed linen, lukewarm water and faulty heating. It took some convincing to get moved to another functioning room, and this only happened when we got our travel agent involved. The second room was great, everything worked. Breakfast was excellent. The staff were either really helpful or not at all helpful.

We came here in winter season so I can confirm that there is cold however there is AC which can also heat the room up. Bath wasn’t clean enough but you aren’t in Europe so it is on average level here, nothing to be scared of 😉 we stayed here for 2 nights with breakfast which was average. To conclude it is good for travelers who want to stay there overnight and visit Petra.

We had a very nice stay at this hotel. Good food, big room and the quality of the sleep was awesome. It has really all you need for a simple stay. Although they were doing some works at the reception and the wifi didn’t work properly

The breakfast and dinner were very well prepared and tasty. A large variety of food. The view from the dining room is also nice. But the room was a little bit dusty, so a little more cleanup is advised. They wifi signal was weak and they gave the wrong password the first time. But the staff knoes English

Special shoutout to Maher, who accommodated my family and I and made us feel like queens! ||Turkish bath and massage services provided by Mohammad Salem were exceptional. ||There was an expansive dinner buffet for 10 Jordanian dinar tended to by Rashed, who brought us the portable heating device and mint tea. ||Finally, clean bedrooms with breathtaking views capped a successful visit to one of the world’s most incredible locations. Would recommend to anyone looking for comfortable and nice accommodation in the Wadi Musa/Petra area. ||P.S For anyone interested, Shishas are available on request! |
