On a budget? Find Cheap Hotels in Aqaba, Jordan

"My wife and I stayed at the DoubleTree Hilton for one night on a recent visit to Aqaba, we found the hotel very easily and car parking was straight forward. Check in was very efficient, we booked a king room with sea view which was of a good size. The bathroom was clean and stocked with all necessary toiletries and plenty of towels. Bottled water was provided and extra was available upon request, as was tea and coffee. We tried the Tree café in the afternoon and found the food and service to be of a good standard. The hotel is in the centre of Aqaba and nowhere is more than a few minutes’ walk away, in the evening we decided to use the King’s Grill restaurant, the menu was very good with plenty of different choices. We both chose a steak and were not disappointed with our choice, both cooked as requested. Check out was straight forward and we took the opportunity to join the Hilton Honors program at the same time. My only negative comment about our stay would be that the hotel permits smoking in the public areas, when there are a few smokers then it can be quite smoky especially at the check in and out desks. All in all we enjoyed our stay and will return in the near future and stay for a few days so that we can visit Petra and Wadi Rum."

"The hotel is very nice and clean, but a lot of hiccups made our stay quite annoying. Upon arrival we had to wait for more than an hour in the lobby to check in, we kept being told to wait "a few minutes more" while people who arrived after us were being checked in. The staff is very nice but not trained to 5 star service: ie they kept getting our orders at the restaurant wrong, or for example bringing the parmesan cheese to the table after we had finished our meal! We ended the stay on another issue: the valet brought us the wrong car and kept insisting that it was ours! We had to involve a manager. "

"The hotel is very high standard, everything is clean and tidy. For those who want to travel around the city, take into account that every move requires a taxi. Some of the hotel staff and security just aren't nice! Speech is derogatory and they give you the feeling that you should say thank you for hosting you."

"Loved the location. Less than 20 meters from the sea and other shopping souq. Great view ( you have to pick the sea option) , yummy breakfast. "

"This hotel has best location in Aqaba. We were just arrival sunset time and there are beautiful sunset in Aqaba bay!!! We were just run to beach area to spend sunset time even we didn't check in yet, hotel workers smiled and let us do it. It was amazing time to see such a beautiful sunset. Hotel is very nice quality service and setups. We had very nice guide and car from the hotel at night for dinner and shopping. Guide took us to very local shopping area and try to find very price and quality for our request. We were looking for local clothing. Guide took us to best place to buy anything, it was lots of fun night shopping. We were in club floor, so we can have nice drink at evening and breakfast in the morning. Breakfast is very nice in lobby floor restaurant as well. Specially there is some local meal in the lobby restaurant in the morning. Club floor is more basic and western style meal only but very comfortable and quiet. Highly recommended this hotel in Aqaba. "

"It’s a great place to stay if you’re in Aqaba to enjoy snorkeling or diving. I couldn’t see any reason to go into the city itself unless it was for an expensive meal out, airport, or crossover to Israel. South Beach and Bedouin Garden were perfect for my first three days in Jordan! Good if always the same breakfast of fried eggs, sliced tomatoes/cucumbers, pita bread and hummus, coffee and tea. Included and served with a smile. Great choices for lunch & dinner including fresh grilled fish on the bbq. Dive stuff helpful and friendly, get Hosein to take you to Japanese Gardens – 10 minute walk – and the sunken Turkish ship. Check out the sunset terrace up top, hookah lounge, other Bedouin lounges, and get into the pool. Can’t say enough about this place, even if all is a little…rustic? Rickety? The A/C worked fine in Rm 3, anyhow, and I found it tough to leave to hit the Jordan hotspots. "
