Oryx Hotel Aqaba

My husband and myself have had an exceptional experience here. Our every need has been taken care of down to fine details. The breakfast buffet is superb. A very large variety of foods, absolutely delicious. I must say I always look forward to my breakfast. A lovely tranquil, pretty garden with trees to relax in. The view from my room is wonderful, I love it. I can see all my favourite things, trees, greenery, the sea, the mountains and beyond to the horizon. I have a sunny balcony. I feel at peace here in Jordan and at the Oryx hotel. The people are positive, kind, thoughtful, helpful always smiling and ready to accommodate us. I prefer Chamomile tea - the girl who does my room always makes sure I have plenty. As our stay is more than a month we needed to extend our visa. The stuff here were amazing - the security officer here along with their shuttle bus took us to get it all sorted. The security manager was our spokesman and made everything so easy. Raghad the receptionist is marvellous too, arranging everything for us down to the fine details. I love to chat with her about Jordan life. All the reception stuff are so nice and welcoming. The same with Chastine and all the restaurant stuff and chefs - Abood cooked my eggs to perfection. I said to my husband, I feel so looked after here. I can sincerely say this is the best hotel experience I have ever had. Our stay here is nearly 6 weeks. It feels like home to me. Our first time in Jordan. Everything all so new to us. Here at The Oryx our transition into Jordan life has been so smooth. We love walking around downtown, going to the beaches - the local one and the southern ones. Everyone so friendly. We went on one of those glass bottom boats, just for 6JD each at Al Ghandour local beach. It was so much fun. I could write a book here. In short my husband and myself are super happy. The best winter we have ever had.

the hotel is conveniently located, the room has everything you need, even dental kits and individual washcloths, the view from the balcony to the pool is very good, you can see the mountains. the breakfast is varied. i liked the sauna and the hotel bus, which can take you to the right place in Aqaba and pick you up later. it was especially nice that the hotel is dog-friendly, we have a small dog and although it is smaller than a cat, finding a good hotel is usually a problem, here everything was top notch, thank you very much. sveshchenosets we will return and will recommend the hotel to friends.

Lovely Hotel , well located with a free shuttle service to take you to main areas and back. You can walk to downtown and may take around 20 to 25 mins. All the staff were very welcoming and courteous. Lobby area was beautiful and the whole hotel was extremely clean. We opted for the buffet dinner for 10JD which was great value as well as the choice was good. There is a lovely Mall behind the hotel which is open till late as well as Ayla Marina Village which is nearby and not to be missed especially at night. There is parking available outside the hotel as well as valet parking service. Overall great choice of hotel from which to explore Aqaba from.

This is a great hotel if you want luxury for an affordable price. The beds are comfortable and the Wi-Fi is strong. An added value are the saunas that can be used for free on demand. It is nice that they offer eggs made to order at breakfast. There is a free shuttle service that operates on demand, which is a nice added bonus. The staff is extremely friendly, the concierge, Ahmed, even arranged a free early drop off at the JETT station when the shuttle wasn't operating (due to the early departure).

Nice hotel, and good location but the staff are the the best selling point . We had to swap our room for a non smoking room and this was done with no isssue whatsoever by Sewar who was courteous and efficient at all times. There was also a welcome note and some cakes in each of the 3 rooms we booked, which we really appreciated. There is a free mini bus to get to centre of Aquaba which is very useful. Also Walid very kindly made a lovely floral display for us on discovering it was our anniversary, he was very pleasant and helpful.
