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 racist 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.

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!

Dit was duidelijk ooit eens een sfeervol hotel maar dan wel 20 jaar geleden. Alles is redelijk schoon maar overduidelijk vergane glorie. De huidige eigenaar doet kennelijk liever geen onderhoud en echt alles is zeer rommelig en in een oude staat. Oud is niet erg maar niet onderhouden wel. Ontbijt zat niet bij de prijs is dus bij geboekt, helaas was dit ook wat matig. De eigenaar is aardig en spreekt goed Engels. Prima voor een doorreis overnachting maar bijzonder storend dat de foto's absoluut niet meer kloppen bij de huidige staat.

Accueil plus que chaleureux digne du pays. Hôtel original et sympathique. Chambre confortable, et propre. Repas copieux. Pour notre chambre la salle de bain mériterait d'être revue mais fait son job. Un bon souvenir de ce petit hôtel.
