Cairwan Hotel

Have you ever felt that you are being shameful, because you and your female friend sitting with your male colleague in your room? Well that what happened to us ? We are a group of of male and female colleagues. We needed to work and we needed privacy in our meeting because we worked with a sensitive group in Karak. The owner of the hotel (who seemed so nice and hospitable) knocked at the door. He asked us our male colleague to leave the room because it’s not allowed by law ! And after we argued with him, he showed his true colours: even if it’s not allowed, as the owner of the hotel you have to leave now. I refuse this bigotry in my hotel. Hahaha bigotry! He thinks we live in Amman and we are forbidden from this. Please know that we are Jordanians, and we often work around Jordan and we always hang out with our male colleagues in different hotels and different star ratings; no one has ever said this to us and made us feel this way. So regardless of how good and clean is the hotel ( with the worse disgusting bathrooms to be honest) it is by far the worse experience I have ever been in my life and please, I travel in Jordan a lot for a long time so I know what I am saying. I don’t advice anyone stay in this this hotel. Because you will be judged by your sex! Terrible sexist and ****** hotel. God help the women staff here.

The receptionist stole a 100 USD note out of my bag in the room. During we had dinner the reception went upstairs. I was already wondering what he was doing upstairs at 8 in the evening since we were the only guests staying on the upper floor. After dinner when I came back to the room I noticed that the key was twisted twice instead of once how I left it. I immediately saw that my stuff was touched. When I counted my money I noticed that a 100 USD note was missing. When I confronted him he just said “no English”. In the morning his English was quite good. After threatening him with calling the police he gave me my 100 USD note back. After that incident I felt very uncomfortable staying there for the night but it was already too late to change the hotel. Be careful he might steal your stuff as well. It’s probably not his first and won’t be his last time stealing and every time he will be smarter about it and you might not notice.

Great hotel with thoughtful touches throughout. Good breakfast for 4 JOD, with nice hummus and cheese. The room (202) was a twin, big enough for two but bathroom was quite cramped. Road noise from about 6am, but overall a good place to stay. The owner arranged onward taxi travel for us too.

Very comfortable and clean small hotel near to Karak castle. Proprietors we’re very helpful and kind.

when we arrive we were conduct to a basement room, with view on a dumping ground, and a very bad smell of fuel. The room did not meet the description : no AC, no sockets, small and uncomfortable. When we ask a room meeting the description the owner ask for a supplement of 50%. after 1 hour of negociation we commit at "only" 25% supplement. The room get was better but far from other "same price" hotel. Wet met in the city, other tourist who had the same problem with this hotel. Cherry on the top, the Wifi is so weak, you cannot even look for another place to stay! note : don't try to climb on the parking if don't have a 4WD!

The hotel is located in opposite hill from Kerak castle and is in part of town which is more "alive" at night. It is close to viewpoint to Kerak castle (be prepared for steep streets). It has it's own small parking lot covered by a camera, so I was not afraid to leave rented car there. Hotel inside is nicely and uniquely designed and stairs to second floor are main piece at reception desk. The room was simple, but nice and comfortable. Shower had hot water but the room was quite cold. Bedroom had it's own heater, so we were fine there.

Im Bad Wasserhahn wackelt in der Dusche kein licht keine Handtücher erst auf Anfrage

Bon accueil de la part du staff. Petit hôtel ou naison ď'hôtes, chambre de bonne dimensior très propre, emplacement en bas du village avec vue sur le château, le diner et le petit-déjeuner très bon. Difficile se plaindre au vu du rapport qualité prix ! C'est parfait! Continuez comme ça...

Il Cairwan hotel è molto spartano forse anche troppo ! Per alloggiare qui bisogna avere un minimo di spirito di adattattamento. Bisogna capire le differenze, per lo stesso alloggio in Italia lo avrei definito sporco e fatiscente mentre qui possiamo dire che la camera non ha molti confort , gli arredi non esistono fatta eccezione per il letto ed il ventilatore, e la pulizia è anch’essa molto essenziale , nota super positiva è la presenza in camera di prese elettriche adatte a tutte le nazionalità senza bisogno di adattatore 10+ , il bagno ha un po’ di pecche ma è in camera ed è tanto . La colazione è carina ma non ha soddisfatto le mie aspettative per 5€ a persona extra mi sarei aspettato molto di più o almeno più varietà, bella la presentazione e la sala delle colazioni . Purtroppo non posso dare più di tre stelle al Cairwan Hotel La prima stella è per il sorriso e la gentilezza con cui si viene accolti , la seconda per la posizione perfetta a mio avviso per chi viaggia in auto ( parcheggio comodo fuori dal caos delle stradine di al-Karak , ma tutto raggiungibile in pochi minuti) , la terza stella è d’obbligo per il prezzo , per la vista dalla sala colazioni direttamente sul castello e perché nel contesto ho avuto un piacevole soggiorno. È una struttura gestita da ragazzi giovani ,spero vivamente che possano correggere qualche pecca migliorando la struttura e crescendo sempre di più!
