Dimitra occupies an unassuming spot in Petra, the kind of address you only find by recommendation or by a careful read of guest reviews. Geographically speaking it's barely a stroll from the centre of Petra, and the strong location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Inside, the rooms are modest, and guests pick out an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. It feels lived-in rather than staged, which tends to be the difference between a stay you remember and one you don't. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, around 290 reviews, scoring solid on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €55 a night, which lands as a middle-of-the-road option for the city. Whether Dimitra is the right fit depends on the trip, but it earns a place on the comparison shortlist for Petra more often than not.
