Overall Ratings & Reviews Shaqilath Hotel

Very nice hotel, the room was small but beautifully decorated. Just consider that it's on top of a mountain in Petra. Close to the visitor center walking, like 10mins walk using some shortcuts, or a short ride in taxi. Our friend Andullah was so nice with breakfast! He saw us struggling and gave us a huge banquet...thank you so much for making us try an authentic jordanian breakfast!

The staff at this hotel bent over backwards to make our stay enjoyable. They allowed early check-in and late check-out. They were extremely helpful by ordering us dinner to be delivered from an off-site restaurant. Staff are exceptional; specifically Faizel, Remi, and Abdula. They are some of the nicest most helpful hotel staff. There was a language barrier, but not a concern for Translate app. Rooms are excellent. Functional AC, clean sheets, clean rooms, great panoramic view of the city. Wifi internet was reliable. The rooftop terrace is where we ate the included average Jordan breakfast. The hard boiled eggs were a nice daily feature. Also there is nice sunset watching from the terrace. The only bad things were lack of hot water for showers and Avery cramped bathroom sink area and shower area in unit 409. We discussed lack of hot water with Faizal on our 2nd of third days. Unfortunately the water never became hot for showers. Hotel is an uphill walk, maybe 20 minutes from bus station. The bus station is next to the Petra Museum, which is next to Petra main entrance. Taxis ask between 5-7 JD for the short ride. Some settle on 3JD. Sadly taxis do not use meters in Wadi Musa. In Amman, this taxi fare would be only 1JD. This hotel is well priced given friendly and helpful staff, and hotel amenities. We would definitely stay at this hotel again if the hot water situation could be resolved.

The staff was amazing! They asked me for my breakfast time preference and was ready for me at that time! Abdullah was also great with helping me getting a taxi to Wadi Rum!

I chose this property from reviews and how close it was to Petra Visitors Center. Since it is off-season, I may have been the only guest at the time. The staff was amazing and very accommodating, as they made me amazing meals at the drop of a call - which were a bounty of deliciousness. Would stay there again without hesitation.

Good quality/price relationship

The staff and service they provide at the Shaqilath was outstanding. Very welcoming and friendly. The room was spotless. Loved our stay here.

The hotel room is very modern, the staff is awsome, very helpfull, willing to help and offer options. In addition I was there for my birthday and during dinner, the dim the lights, bring a cake and start singing happy birthaday, it was awsome. Close to Petra (Walking distance), very good breakfast, good hotel and the best the people, coordinating everything even before we arrived

it's a very nice small hotel on the hill with a very beautiful city view from the window. staffs are very nice and helpful. the shower cube may be a little small for big guys.

This is a brand new hotel with 10-12 minutes walk to Petra visitor center. Beautiful interior. Everybody is very friendly and trying to help. We asked for an iron - delivered within 5 minutes. Asked for refrigerator - same thing. Chef cooked especially for us a vegetarian meal. Definitely recommended.

Wadi Musa is a dirty town with very little to do with the phenomenal Petra and a huge bonus. This hotel is very adequate for this town, not great or even very good but very adequate.

Nice, comfortable hotel with a good breakfast and a nice lunch box option for Petra.

The 3rd and 4th floor are fully renovated. From the outside, I was skeptical when we pulled up, but it was a gem inside! Really nice sized room, super friendly staff, extremely comfortable beds, and just an all around great experience. The restaurant is humble, but apart from that— I would 100% stay again. The staff went out of their way to make us feel at home. They even ordered late night pizza for us! I highly recommend this place if you want something close to Petra, yet reasonably priced.

Very clean hotel with a nice rooftop terrace. Rooms were spacious and comfortable with modern amenities. Friendly staff. The hotel is located a bit further out from the Site and from the shops/restaurants.

Wonderful!

I spent three days at this amazing hotel. The guests service is super helpful and friendly, the rooms are super clean and all are newly renovated. Its a five stars experience and i will surely make it as my first option next time. Thank you

Was quiet and safe. Staff were excellent: very polite, kind, and helpful always. The location was a 10 minute walk to the visitors’ centre. It was just a short walk to Wadi Musa too which offered a nice change. The whole experience was great!

Lovely terrace view of Petra, from the restaurant. Very comfortable, clean and excellent service throughout.

Very helpful Manager for an older hotel building.

I don't know how this compares with the rest of Wadi Musa, but I was not impressed at all, and surprised this hotel has such a high rating. The WiFi didn't work in the room at all, it was only reachable in the lobby area but even when connected it didn't work very well. The room wasn't cleaned at all during my stay. The towels didn't appear to be clean at check-in and I started to get a couple of small bugs in the room on the second day. The bathroom was tiny - the door didn't open fully because it was so crammed. There is also no safe / safety deposit box available despite this being advertised on Hotels.com.

A very good hotel for the price. A 10 minute walk to the Petra visitors centre and entrance. The walk back to the hotel is steep. Check in was very good.
