Aqaba Hotels with Breakfast

We had a very bad experience during check in. Despite explaining that we were very tired & hungry (as it's already almost 8 in the evening), and we just need to check in immediately & have dinner; the staff at the reception denied our confirmed & paid reservation at trip.com. The staff knew that we were very tired, and we even offered to guarantee reservation with our credit card (just so we get the room & can have dinner); but he insisted to keep us waiting until he can get the response from trip.com. After waiting for so long, he said that still no responses from trip.com and he just asked us to wait forever. I got really upset after a long argument with him; and i have to strongly argue with him to give us room & we paid with our credit card for a new reservation. WE NEED A ROOM! I showed him the amount I paid for the Seaview Room charged in USD. (I just realised the next day that he charged me the wrong amount instead of calculating it to USD amount with the correct convertion). So i was charged a wrong amount as I was too tired to check how much he charged me. After a long argument & waiting, he finally gave me the room key; and said sorry for the waiting. They said that they will upgrade the room as an apologies. Just when we were in the room, I found out that they DID NOT upgrade the room. That's exactly the room I booked at trip.com; just I had to pay again with my credit card with a much higher rate! I was to tired to argue with the staff, so I no longer care after calling them saying they didn't upgrade us! This staff didn't even try to change the room; after we said this is not an upgrade. We PAID for this room category at trip.com. Nobody apologies for these so many mistakes from the staffs or management. When we checked out, the manager asked me how was our stay? He was not even aware that WE HAD ISSUES that they denied our paid & confirmed booking! Trip.com finally settled this issue with the hotel, and the hotel returned our overpaid credit card charged. Trip.com apologies a few times, they made many efforts to call us a few times. But the hotel & the management acting as if nothing happened! Is this really how a 5 stars hotel service? Luxury what? They treated us like a homeless person begging for room! So UNACCEPTABLE! I have never experienced staying in a 5 stars hotel with such a BAD service like this! This is the worst in our history of travel! This place must keep their act together! Learn hospitality BETTER! Overall, we were very disappointed, & this place is far from Luxury Collection, it's a CHEAP collection!

5/5 Service! Exceptional staff and a great stay in Aqaba Everything was great overall during my stay. The team upgraded me for free to a deluxe room with a balcony right at check-in since my initial room wasn't quite ready. The receptionist team was so sweet, and the room service staff were top-tier. I was under the weather with a sore throat, and they thoughtfully brought hot chamomile lemon tea with honey and extra bottled water straight to my room. That level of care is rare! The only drawback was that the showerhead wasn't functioning (only the lower tub spout worked, so washing my hair took a bit of gymnastics!), but everything else in the room was comfortable and clean. Highly recommend for the unmatched hospitality alone!

I have to say that the service of this hotel is really good. However, the parking space is a bit less, although hotel staff have been trying to stay in the parking space.

I was on a trip with my friend. It is a budget hotel but due to off season the service was slow. The cleanliness was average as well. Overall OK for a quick short stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Alena in Aqaba. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. They allowed us to check in early and even upgraded us to a more spacious room, which was a lovely surprise! The hotel’s location is perfect—everything is within walking distance, including restaurants, shops, and the city’s main attractions. The cleanliness, comfort, and exceptional service made our stay truly enjoyable. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Aqaba!

No-nonsense, no-frills, a practical hotel. Good location, was given a room with the window to the walled rooftop so that was not so great, but clean and comfy enough and helpful reception.

Everything was good and ok except that when I arrived to the hotel around 10:00 pm no body was there I had to go next door to the pharmacy to ask if the reception was open or if I had to call someone to check in , the pharmacy employee had to go inside the hotels office to find someone after 15 minutes someone came in

The hotel is within walking distance of the beach. There's a large parking lot nearby, and a currency exchange and many shops on the ground floor. The bed was clean, although there were some small stains. The walls near the room entrance were dirty. Breakfast wasn't very diverse, but it was on the top floor with a beautiful sea view. We stayed for two nights; housekeeping was offered daily, but we declined, only taking the water. There's a mosque nearby, so you'll hear the morning calls – something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper. We accidentally broke a mug and reported it to reception, but they didn't charge us a fine.

Hotel location is very good, in the downtown business district, but some rooms are close to the road, the sound insulation is not very good. The quality of sleep at night is relatively poor, the hotel hot water is not too hot, and. Breakfast is too simple, basically nothing delicious.
