It's so amazing hotel that you can spend time there with so amazing view to Petra mountains and also sunset it's so wonderful service and food and rooms you live past and future and luxury in same time
27.04.2026 Guest
My stay at Hayat Zaman Hotel was honestly one of the most memorable parts of the trip. It’s not your typical hotel—it really feels like stepping back in time to how Arab communities used to live. The entire place has this old-world charm, but the rooms are thoughtfully updated with modern amenities, so you’re never sacrificing comfort. One of the highlights for me was joining a cooking experience and making maqluba with Manar. That alone made the stay worth it. It wasn’t just about the food—it was the whole experience of learning, sharing, and being part of something local. If you have the time, I highly recommend doing it. The kitchen overall was great, and everything felt authentic rather than staged. Also, Diya at reception was incredibly helpful and made everything smooth from start to finish. If you’re looking for something different—something more immersive and meaningful than a standard hotel—this is definitely a must. It’s the kind of place that stays with you even after the trip ends.

Lovely hotel. Clean, traditional, staff are kind. They packed us a breakfast to go to Petra at 5AM which was kind:

One of a kind hotel experience in Petra. Old world charm with all the convenience of a modern hotel. Dining at the onsite restaurant was great.

A place that truly takes you back to the beautiful past, where you can see heritage in its finest form. I would like to thank the reception staff member, Yazan, for welcoming us and guiding us around the hotel, explaining its history and how their ancestors lived in this area, and how the place was transformed into one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever seen in my life. Thanks to the entire team. I highly recommend it.
