Ad Deir Guesthouse

Great accomodation for the price! Close to Petra. Host Saddam is a very helpful and nice guy who can advice you with your trips in Jordan.

Saddam and his brothers were super accommodating and helpful. I’m a student here and because of the new pricing rules for Petra, I wasn’t able to receive the discounted price that Jordanians get (like how it was for the past few years). Despite this, Saddam generously asked the staff several times for the cheaper price. Although we ended up paying full price, Saddam was super helpful. On several occasions, we kindly declined paying for the dinner and lunchboxes however they are totally worth the price. 3 hours before dinner, I asked Saddam if we could get dinner at the guesthouse instead, and just like that preparations were made. Dinner for 10 people and so much food was given. Additionally, we request the lunchboxes for breakfast as we were checking out early and they prepared it late at night and placed on the dinner table ready to be taken. Prices of restaurants and shops around Petra are really expensive so might as well get food served right at your accommodation. Each room comes with a bathroom, prepared with soap and towels plus extra blankets for cold weather. There’s also a TV with Apple TV and we ended up staying up late in the living room watching a movie. Walking distance to the Petra entrance.

Basically nothing, only the stairs leading up to the hostel. Hot water ran on the first day but the second day it didn’t work despite running the water for abit. However, there were a lot of us so that was probably why.

Great host! Great location near Petra visitor center.

The guesthouse is in a perfect location, only around 5 minutes by walk to the Petra visitor centre. The staff was kind and prepared a lunch box for my visit to Petra (for an extra price).

As other people mentioned, you need to climb steep stairs to get to the guesthouse, which is not great if you have a suitcase, but I did not have too many problems since I had a backpack.

The host was amazingly friendly and made as a huge luch which was very good. Also the location is perfect if you want to go to Petra

Nothing everything was perfect

Very friendly and helpful host. The property is very close to the Petra Visitor centre. The host provided us with lunch pack that was very handy. We used the washing machine and kitchen as well. Certainly value added facilities.

Climb up the stairs. But the host helped us with the luggage.

Flexible owners. They are still building this place up for better, yet the triple room we stayed was clean.

As others mentioned, there were steep stairs and an uneven walkway which were difficult to get through with luggage. The shared kitchen could be better equipped and organized.
