Petra
by call_me_rhia about Hotel Petra Palace
This hotel was booked for me so I had no choice: I stayed at the Petra Palace. It's nice in a standard way - a bit too nice for my taste actually, but at least near the ruins of the old city and next door to an (overpriced) internet café. The best thing about this hotel is its bar: no one sat there except the barman: a friendly man who loves to talk politics. I had a and couple of really interesting evenings there
Walking Distance to Petra
by naruto about Petra Palace Hotel
This hotel is one of the better ones I stayed in during my trip in Jordan, in terms of facilities. The rates are very reasonable for a single room, and for an establishment within 5 minutes walking distance to the visitor centre of Petra.
Petra Palace has very nice rooms, and I was given one with a balcony leading to the pool. Very comfortable beds, spacious bathroom and again the standard amenities of air-conditioning, satellite TV, etc.
However, I gave it a less than stellar rating, because of unprofessional behavior by his restaurant manager. My one dinner spent at the hotel's restaurant was spoilt by a manager who instead of concentrating on providing me good food and courteous service, spent the whole time pestering me to go out for a drink. Despite my repeated refusals, his persistance knows no end and he even called my room, it was very irritating. Spoilt my stay to a certain degree
Good rooms
Good location
Great location, not so cheap

I was supposed to stay in Amra Palace Hotel, but they didn't have any room so they put us up in Petra Palace instead. You couldn't get any closer to the entrance to Petra and stay in as nice of a place. The hotel expanded recently and so the rooms/architecture are a bit piece-meal, but the rooms are nice and the breakfast (included in the room cost) was a good start to the day. There's a nice pool but it's not heated. It's a bit pricier than we wanted, but splitting the room three ways helped.

Anyone Stay at the Petra Palace before?

Has anyone here ever stayed at the Petra Palace in Petra (of course). Is it a nice hotel? I know it is close to the entrance of the ruins which suits me but am wondering about the quality of the hotel itself.

Yes, it's a very good three star hotel, about 200 meters/yards from the entrance to Petra. There's a bar and a small swimming pool; the more expensive rooms give on to the terrace with the pool.
It's not in Wadi Mousa village, but there are a number of souvenir shops and restaurants/coffee shops nearby - I recommend the Red Cave for eating, and the Cave bar at the Guesthouse in the evening, there is often a party going!
