"Extremely convenient place to stay to get to Petra entrance, the Visitor Center and the Petra Museum! The staff are extremely polite and helpful. They even brought up a platter of fruit for us (we stayed in the chalet). It was a nice surprise after hours of driving. The beds and sheets are very comfortable and the shower water pressure's great. The Cave is a cool place, in fact, the whole hotel is built into the rocks of Petra, so it's definitely a cool place to stay. Breakfast opens early at 6:30 and has a very nice selection to fill you up for hours of walking or hiking, and I recommend the Jordanian dinner. Try to stay at least 2 nights so you can enjoy a FULL day in Petra at a minimum."
