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.

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.

Hotel Qidra - nice place mid-Aqaba (downtown)
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.

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.

Cheap in all respects
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.

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 value
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.

Great for its location,cleanliness and price
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.

Would still go, hope they improve, was better befo
After (almost exactly) 3 year I came back to them with a friend (he booked the same type of room) based on my recommendation and referral. My experience (apart from my friend's experience) was a bit less happier than the last time, where services were not as great as I have experienced 3 years ago (same season). Breakfast especially, where tea is served colder than warm (not yet cold) thyme served without olive oil, no more falafel or foul (beans), where I go to Jordan specifically to have a taste of these famous local food, and they used to be served as per my previous visit. On the positive side, Staff are helpful, they try to keep your stay pleasant (especially the non-Jordanians) where I felt ignored when I attempted to approach the 1 Jordanian staff member. Another good thing is that they've recognised me and upgraded my room to a balcony room (of the same type) where I do like it, despite the extractor fan hoods noise of their neighbouring club. There no unexpected costs, all is clear and transparent, and checkout experience was pleasant too. Though my friend's experience did vary from mine (due to non-operation or noisy air conditioner) but I base my review on my experience. Hope they can improve, or at least go back to what they used to be, would like to be there again.

Worst hotel I've been to out of 55 countries
Brought to the room and TV wouldn't work . Guy came to to the room three times and it would work only for a few seconds for him . They changed my room and the TV was broken in the second room . I was then moved to a third room which was a smoking room and it had cigarette burns on the furniture . I specifically stated non smoking room. TV worked but the wifi wouldn't work unless I stood in the corridor outside . I complained and the lady at the front desk was completely disinterested . They then moved me back to the first room with no TV . No apology and staff couldn't care less . Hotel is old and shabby and dirty . Found hairs on the bed . Worst hotel I have ever been in anywhere in the world . Avoid !

Everything in the room smelled of smoke. The towels, the bedding, the pilows. It felt like sleeping in an ashtray. There is no beach access, you need to pay to get on a bus that leaves once a day for a beach 30 mins away. Moreover, it was really hot and the AC leaked on the pillow. I woke up to a pillow soaked in water. The staff was really friendly and tried to make it feel like a 5-star hotel.

nice little spot in a good part of town.
We stayed here for two nights and found it to be quite nice. The staff were very helpful, particularly the woman who works at the front desk. She arranged for us to do the glass bottom boat at the Berenice Beach Club. Finding the hotel took a couple tries. The GPS didn’t recognize it, but it did recognize the Days Inn that is literally right across the street. We parked on the street the whole time we were there and never had a problem finding a spot. Room was very nice and clean, I’d say it’s a little nicer than a hostel accommodation, but nothing fancy. We also had a cute little balcony off our room. WiFi only worked in the hallway and the lobby reliably. It would work intermittently in our room.

Comfortable and friendly
This is my second stay at Al Qudra. I really like it there as an overnight stop off when travelling back from Israel. The rooms are comfortable and staff are really lovely. I have stayed at other hotels in Aqaba in the same price range and this is definitely better.
