I fully enjoyed my stay at the Golden Rose Hotel and recommend it to all traveling to Aqaba. I especially wanted to thank the young, tall man (sorry I didn't get your name) who who was so helpful throughout. The staff is exceptionally friendly, welcoming and very organized, they will go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. The rooms are very clean, modern, the internet was fast, the aircon was working very well and even had a quiet mood, there is a safe and fridge in the room, 24 hrs reception. I asked to change rooms (due to outside noise unrelated to the hotel) and was given the sea view room without any problems. The sea view with balcony is really worth it, wonderful views; my friends stayed at the Hilton and said my view is much better. There is also a communal area with chairs and tables and a kitchen to prepare food.
The Hotel is located right behind the Islamic Bank through a little side road at a square. In 5 min walking you are at the main road, in the city centre and all the shops - great location. The Golden Rose has activities they can organise for you. I walked (alone) at night and felt very safe. We had an amazing stay in Jordan, saw some impressive culture & history, all Jordanians are so welcoming & friendly and were sad to leave. I would go back to the Golden Rose any time!
