Good budget option hotel
Budget hotel in the heart of Aqaba. You get what you pay for. If you look for luxury - this is not your hotel. It looks and feels like it hasn’t been re-innovated for a long time, but rooms are clean and big. Friendly and helpful staff, quick check in and out. We stayed there first night and we came back again at the end of our trip. Also great location, next to a lot of restaurants and things to do.

Disliked: Amenities
They mention breakfast as if it's free, but there's a hidden charge at checkout. The breakfast is hard boiled eggs, and some pita bread.Cost was more than $12.
Had to change room because the suite they provided was not secure--bedroom w/balcony would not lock.
The hotel's porter was awesome though--good service from him.
Skip their breakfast, pay in cash to avoid an almost 6% markup for using a debit/credit card.
Great place (Aqaba downtown, restaurant streets very near), fast working staff, large room - really large, well equipped and w/balcony. Bathroom - no complaint. All systems - working well. Having said all this, breakfast was good but sooner decent than fine (choice of food items was quite restricted). Overall, I am happy and will return when necessary.

Decent location with several shops and food options nearby. Front desk was helpful in booking me a last-minute excursion. The smell of cigarette smoke in the lobby was very offputting!
I would recommend this hotel. My room was spacious and clean and the staff were very pleasant. The location is good for places to eat unfortunately I did not have much time to explore as I arrived at night and left in the morning.
The apartment was very spacious and well located. Staff was very helpful without being pushy. The overall space feels a bit worn. There was a sink and fridge in our room but the ‘kitchenette’ did not include any real way to prepare meals. I would reccomend but with reservations.

Great Location, Lovely People
Great Location, and lovely service. However, breakfast is basic & the bathrooms could do with a renovation. All in all it is comfortable and clean.
The hotel is rated 7th on Trip Advisor of all hotels in Aqaba but I don't understand why. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the sheets and towels are clean but that is as far as the positives go. It is very old and shabby, only a few of the plug sockets in the rooms work and the bathroom sink was so chipped it would have won a shabby chic competition. If you're on a budget and are just after a bed for the night it's ok, but otherwise I'd find somewhere else to stay.

Value for money
Great value for money, rooms are ok, breakfast is ok.
We used this hotel while we visited Petra and Wadi Rum, more than good enough for us.

Good location, good wifi and good breakfast
Location is great. Lots of restaurants and other places. Room was average, breakfast was not bad. TV was not working properly, I asked the guy to fix it, he came twice but couldn't fix it. Wifi was fine
The hotel is right in the middle of downtown, so a bit noisy but a great location. And only 10 minutes to the beach. The room wasn't the cleanest or nicest but it was spacious and there was a nice patio. It's definitely a "budget hotel", but there was wifi and breakfast so it was a good value for what we paid.
Rated top choice by traveler on TripAdvisor for many times. I don't feel I need to contribute more - convenient location, clean and spacious room with good lighting. Outside is the restaurant circle - local or international food (including fast food from US). 12 min walk to public beach. Internet works well in the lobby and occasional disruption in the rooms. Breakfast not the most impressive but other aspects are great.

Could improve - overall pretty good
Staff were mostly helpful - We found after we left that they didn't tell us about a rebate you can get back after visiting Petra which was a little disappointing, as Petra costs an arm and a leg to visit these days. Also, the bath was broken in our room. Also, if you ask reception to order you a taxi, beware. The taxi driver who is one of their favourites has terrible service. He is very slow, and makes frequent personal stops, and doesn't listen to what you ask him to do unless you get very cross with him.
