3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

Rooms here are small, bathrooms are tiny, everything is very dated. Bkfst & dinner buffets are okay, having to pay for anything to drink at dinner (even water) is totally irritating. Good location in town. Unfortunately had just stayed at fabulous hotel in Palestine & this place really suffered by comparison.

One is a bit disappointed when you book your hotel room on half board basis and then find that that includes ONLY the food! You pay over the odds for drinking water at mealtimes. It makes one's mouth go dry to think the price they charge for it is FOUR times what you can get bottled water for in town.... More

We spent two night at this hotel, the first night I was not able to have a good sleep due to sounds and noise near our room door.

I stayed in the hotel for one night. Again, I arrived there at night. However, the hotel is in good location for walking around and shopping. We can walk about 10-15 minutes to buy many things, especially various kinds of nuts such as pistachio, almonds which is very popular here. Dates, chocolates and many desserts can be found here too.... More

I like the hotel. It is really nice place with a very helpfull staff. Good breakfast which can be eaten outside near the pool. The location close to everything in Aqaba almost in the center of the town. I really like the carpets saying the day of the week in the elevators :-)
