Grand View Resort Petra

Wadi Musa

The public areas of the hotels look fairly ok. The rooms however are in serious need of refurbishment. This means changing out all furniture carpets and other fixtures and totally redecorating the rooms. Diner and breakfast were pretty boring. The main thing going for the hotel was the view.

Requires major refurbishment

Here you got almost all the promised comfort they advertise: a nice view of Petra, really large room with same balcony size etc.
We were lucky to get a room with a wiew, so it was perfect for us, even we spent only one night there. 
The hotel staff was very nice and willing to help on the spot, which make a big difference. 
All in all, we were pleased with our short break there.

A good place to stay in Petra

Hotel facilities are simple, but quite enough. Staff was friendly and polite. The best part is surely the majestic view of the valley, it's possible to see parts of the hidden city Petra. Sunset is wonderful from there.

Simple, but astonishing view

Located in between a mountain overlooking nearby Petra, at Wadi Musa, Jordan. A small family hotel resort business, near Petra with free WIFI, friendly arab staffs, middle price, outdoor swimming pool and free-parking. The entrance of Petra is just a 5-minute drive away. The buffet breakfast serves daily with middle east menu, coffee/tea and continental cuisine.

Near mountain 'Hor', good views 3+ stars

We were part of a bus tour of 20 people and my wife and I were allocated room 257 at the end of the long corridor and on the same floor as the reception.  The odd numbered rooms have the view.  Our room, and the two next to it (255 and 253), had large balconies.  The stars at night are absolutely beautiful from the balcony.  There are also good sunset and mountain views, as the name of the hotel implies.  It was too cold to swim in the pool but the swimming pool appeared to be well maintained.

My only complaint with our particular room is the hard metal angle-iron sticking out 3 inches from the end of the corner of one of the beds, and 4 inches above the floor level – as I found out, a shin gouger as it was on the corner you skirt around to get to the balcony door - ouch!!!

Our room had two double beds, fridge, safe, TV with an English movie channel, flyscreen on the balcony door and facial tissues.  The air-conditioner only worked on “high”.  Complimentary bottled water was supplied.  The modern bathroom had the usual toiletries, a plug in the sink, an excellent strong shower (which had a handrail), a bath and a washing line.

The hotel had good wi-fi in the large lobby area.  Dinner was a very nice buffet – quite plentiful with a lot of variety.  Wait staff were attentive and unobtrusive.  Breakfast was similarly good quality.

Wine was comparatively expensive at 28 Dinars (A$56) for a bottle of local (from Madaba) Saint George Cab Sav Pinot Noir 2016 - the wine at the Marriott, 250 metres up the hill, starts at 20 Dinars (A$40).  The local Petra beer is 8 Dinars (A$16) for a 500 ml bottle.

I would have given this hotel a 5 rating if not for the angle-iron – if my shin found it, surely others had as well.  However, overall it was a very pleasant stay.

A very pleasant surprise

The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful however the hotel is tired and dated.
The pool was closed even though we had warm to hot days.
Location is great for the view but that's where it ends as there is actually nothing close by to the hotel.
Food is via a buffet and has limited variety however it is tasty.
Drink prices are extremely high as what you would Expect from a 6 star hotel even the water is 6 times the prices from the local supermarket.

4 Star for the View Only

This hotel was horrible!  We were only there for two nights but after the first night we actually looked around for other available hotels and pay extra to stay elsewhere. Rooms were dated and dirty. The air conditioning didn’t work, beds (one had blood or something of that colour on sheets) were old and uncomfortable so didn’t sleep very well, and the showers knelt ran of one temp (Luke warm)  The dinning room was super gross! millions of flies, that one actually landed in my soup seconds after being served so we left it before we had even started eating.  The servers just said it was because of the heat, but no where else we went in Petra seemed to have this problem.  One of the reasons would be lack of cleanliness, but probably also the feral dogs and cats that roam around the property. We actually saw numerous feral cats spraying/marking all around the pool area and mating!  Cannot think of anything that is nice or acceptable at the hotel.

Worse hotel I have ever stayed at

Stayed at this hotel for two nights while visiting Petra. The location is great and indeed does have a wonderful view from the pool area. The service from the staff is great, they really do try their best to assist, and rooms are comfortable enough. Those are the big pros. The cons - the hotel is quite dated and in massive need of maintenance, especially around the pool area. Air conditioning in the rooms isn't great, but it does work to a degree and the food during breakfast and dinner is ok, but certainly needs revising and improving. With upgrading and regular maintenance, this hotel really has the potential to be one of the best in the area! With a new General Manager in place, I hope this does happen. Overall, recommended.

An ideal and suitable option, with pros and cons

I hosted my friends from the USA in Petra and Petra was completely sold out which is a good problem to have, happy to know that Petra is coming back as a popular site to visit.   We chose the Petra Grand View for the location and service! We heard that the Grand View is going thru a remodel and renovation which was fine with us.

Petra Hotel with a Breathtaking View

The hotel is comfortable, the rooms are clean, the hotel staff is friendly, the hotel is close to the Petra entrance, there are renovations in the hotel, it was a good night away from the noise so I would recommend it
Thanks alot grand view hotel
