Bed bugs. 10 times worse than mosquitoes. Trust me.

The room we stayed in was ñot very nive, the bathroom wasn't even a metre wide, the door was all cracked and wouldn't shut. The evening meal was really good and excellent value for money. There was one woman on reception who had to do everything, the other staff turned to her for everything.

Great location. 5-minute free shuttle to entrance to Petra. Located on the mountain. Great views awesome patio - always a breeze. Breakfast and dinner offered. Rooms are what you would expect for a budget traveller but adequate. AC costs 3JD more than quoted rates. We were okay with that. Great value. Well run. Very helpful. Highly recommend this one. Be sure and try the hummus!

The Valentine Inn is a super basic hotel for those wanting a place to stay before, after or during a visit to Petra. The hotel is simple and popular with backpackers, though there were families (ours included) and older couples too. Evening food was available at a good price with barbeque and Jordanian salads served in a buffet format. One of the staff also played some Oud and sang during the dinner time, which was nice. The rooms aren't huge, and there are not a lot of sockets in the rooms, but it was comfortable for the purpose, and inexpensive. We brought our own travel cot for our young child, assuming (correctly) that they didn't have one available. Hot water is only available between 0500-0800 and 1700-2000, so be prepared for a couple shower! Wifi only really availalbe in the common areas downstairs. Paying for the rooms is cash only, so be ready with money. Breakfast was a simple Jordanian style spread of bread, cheese, labneh, hummus and vegetables, with tea and coffee available. There is a shuttle at 0700 and 0800 to the entrance to Petra, with pick ups in the evening too (the walk is a couple of km). Overall, the stay was pleasant and hassle free, but this is a basic hotel/hostel to crash at relatively close to Petra.

Food in the evenings was great lots of variety and quantity accompanied by Bedouin whiskey (tea). Good free shuttle down to Petra . Great place to meet and chat with other travellers.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The bed sheets were stained.

The room desperately needed refurbishment, there was mould on some areas of the walls, the tv was not working and it was cold. I asked a total of 3 times before I finally got some heat in the room only to find the electrical supply had been disconnected from the unit the next morning. There was no hot water at all during my 2 night stay. A women in the next room complained only to be told by an unapologetic manager to let the water run for 10 mins. This did not make any difference. The only positives are the comfort of the bed and the breakfast / dinner. I personally would not recommend staying here, at a push it would be for 1 night maximum and at a warmer time of year (not late March). From speaking with other fellow tourists there are nicer hotels to stay in the area at around the same price.

FREEEEEEEEEEZING COLD After an entire day in the desert we arrived to the Inn which had no heating and no hot water. We found out about it only after dinner and when we complained at the reception, they said that the heating is 3JD extra while the hot water is available only until 8pm which they forgot to inform us about at the arrival.

Valentine Inn has the best staff. Always helpful and pleasant. The buffet dinner is awesome.

The staff were really very good and accommodating. They resolved a problem out quickly. They were friendly and did their best. I found the hotel a bit low in rating but I suppose you get what you pay for.
