Positives:
1. Location is in the center of Aqaba city, close to all shops, Souqs and services. It was easy to find a barber just crossing the street from the hotel main entrance.
2.Not as pricey as the other hotels. But still..
Some stuff I bought:
-2 beers and 1 wine at the Diwan "the bar at the roof" 25jod.
-Beer at the room :5 jod.
-Cokacola at the room 2jod.
-Big hamburger with 3 beers at the pool 19jod.
3. The pool is just what you want, ask the frontdesk for a room on the first floor, its on the same level as the pool for easy lazy access.
4. They have very good cookies "they make them at the Hotel, when you are the front desk look to your right side you will find a small bar where they sell you those amazing cookies.
5. Service was fast but please look at my negative points below.
6. The pool is 1.5m, small but good for a swim, it has sunlight until sunset time, good for a tan.
7. Room is big, the bathroom has a shower and a bathtub with shower, couches, a desk, a big smart TV, two phones, safe, iron and iron bord.
8. The hotel is safe for children, but could be enhanced with a good eye spotting all sharp slippery angles.
9.Wifi was fast.

Negatives:
1. The Hotel looks and feel out dated, they need to reinnovate, and they need new colors, decorations to give it a fresh, clean 2020 look.
2. Tiles in the floor of the room need fixing, they have a crack that you can feel it when you step on the floor barefoot.
3.Genrally the room and especially the bathroom was not super clean, I found some hair (not a pile of hair more like 1 or 2 in the shower, 1 near the sink) blackness in the corners of the bathroom and the room caused by just wiping without thorough cleaning. (You know that feeling when you dont trust its clean so you check everywhere you touch??)
4. The bar on the roof (Al Diwan) was good, a bit overpriced, the singing was annoying (they have live singers) it would be great if a DJ was there instead, with a more youth kinda lounge vibe and not an old cafè Arabic songs kinda vibe.
5. Room service or someone working in the hotel with a room key tried to open our door by mistake without knocking thankfully we had the lock otherwise he could have ended near my bed at (9 in the morning today October 6th 2019). And then apparently he wanted the to enter the other room across the corridor from our room, so he entered and started fixing something to the wall with a drill, which was very annoying to hear. Also you can hear the other room door opening and closing loudley. We were at 109, the sound was coming from 110.
6. No balcony. :(
