Oryx Aqaba

The hotel's location is truly delightful, offering a convenient and picturesque setting that adds to the overall charm of the establishment. It provides easy access to nearby attractions and amenities, making it an ideal choice for travelers. Whether you're seeking cultural landmarks or shopping districts, the hotel's location puts you within reach of many options. Furthermore, the breakfast provided by the hotel is a delightful culinary experience. The wide variety of options ensures guests can indulge in a satisfying meal to kick-start their day. The breakfast spread caters to different tastes and dietary preferences, from fresh fruits and pastries to savory dishes cooked to perfection. The attentive staff ensures that guests are well taken care of, providing prompt service and maintaining a welcoming atmosphere. Speaking of atmosphere, the hotel's overall ambiance is truly inviting and relaxing. The warm and inviting decor creates a cozy and comfortable environment, allowing guests to unwind after a long day of exploring. The attention to detail in the interior design and furnishings adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. Additionally, the friendly and helpful staff contribute to the welcoming atmosphere, going above and beyond to ensure that guests feel at ease and have a memorable stay.

While the hotel's cleanliness could benefit from some improvement, it currently falls short of the desired standard. The staff responsible for room cleaning would greatly benefit from enhancing their service. By dedicating more attention and effort to maintaining a pristine environment, the hotel can ensure that guests feel more comfortable and satisfied throughout their stay. One significant issue is related to the parking facilities. While the hotel's listing advertises the availability of parking spaces for guests' cars, the reality is quite different. Upon arrival, I discovered that the promised parking is non-existent. Instead, they advised me to park my car on the street, which can be inconvenient and potentially unsafe.

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 place is good and is a great value for money, the location is also great close to the Fountain Mall and Ayla. The staff are superb, kind and very helpful, they did beyond what is possible to make our stay better after we asked for room change. They were very considerate about our needs for a clean fresh room. Miss Raghad also offered a very nice complimentary package that made our day. The rooms are great size,well maintained, has all essentials (tooth brush, paste, razors, soap... etc), the veiw is also great over looking the sea and the city, the hotel has gym, spa) There is also good swimming pools and birds down stairs if you fancy those things. A special thanks to Miss Raghad, Miss Batool, Mr Hamzeh and Mr Ahmad for their help during our stay.

The breakfast was good and variable , could have been better especially live stations.

A special accommodation, the reception is very friendly, the staff are very helpful, the breakfast food is delicious and varied, thank you to Miss. Raghad

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.

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.

Where to begin? Starting from the reception.. kind and professional staff with a smile 24/7 who welcomed us, and until we got keys to the room we received coffee and dessert as a gift. the rooms? clean and tidy. Also romantic design and fruits. Everything we wanted we got. Location of the hotel is excellent. good breakfast We also traveled in the hotel's minibus and they were available and saved us unnecessary expenses. Thank you! In particular to the hotel's reception manager (I forgot his name) and his assistant Mohammad Samir. Thanks to the receptionist Ahmed Haddad. A huge thank you also to the kind and smiling minibus driver Mr. Kosai.

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).

It is too bad there is no plug for the bath, so one can only use the shower. There is a bit of wear and tear in the rooms.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Oryx during my visit to Aqaba, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. This hotel truly defines the meaning of a perfect getaway, and I cannot recommend it enough. From the moment I stepped into the elegant lobby, I was greeted by the warm and friendly staff, who made me feel instantly at home. The check-in process was smooth, and they even surprised me with a room upgrade – talk about starting the stay on a high note! The room itself was a true sanctuary of comfort and style. Impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the modern amenities one could wish for. The plush bed and luxurious linens ensured a restful sleep every night, and waking up to the mesmerizing view of the Red Sea from my balcony was a breathtaking experience. Speaking of views, the rooftop terrace was the crown jewel of the hotel. The infinity pool overlooking the azure waters of the Red Sea felt like an oasis in the desert. I spent hours relaxing by the pool, enjoying the stunning panoramic views of the city and the sea – a memory I'll cherish forever. The dining experience at Hotel Oryx was a delightful journey of flavors. The breakfast buffet was a scrumptious spread of both local and international dishes, catering to all tastes. The hotel's restaurant offered an extensive menu, and the culinary creations were nothing short of exceptional. The fresh seafood was a highlight, and the attentive staff made sure every meal was a delight. Location-wise, Hotel Oryx couldn't be better situated. It's conveniently located near Aqaba's vibrant city center, making it easy to explore the local attractions, shops, and restaurants. Moreover, the hotel's proximity to the beach made it a breeze to enjoy the Red Sea's underwater wonders through snorkeling and diving activities.

I have travelled the world and slept in many high end hotels but I have never received the type of service I received at Oryx Hotel. The staff was extremely nice, helpful and accommodating. Always smiling and ready to answer any of our questions. Rooms and bathrooms were very spacious with very comfortable beds (huge plus!). Great views from both sides of the hotel! We only had breakfast so I can only comment on that. The wide selection of desserts, fruits, savoury was impressive. Even the most fussy eater would find something there. There was a bar as well so, if you got hungry over lunch time, you could easily order something from there. The portions were big and in reasonable price. Drinks were made by a very experienced bartender. Needless to say how good they were! What's more, Oryx Hotel has free shuttle bus which can easily take you to the city centre or other areas, and also come to pick you up! I cannot recommend this place enough. Most likely will be returning to Aqaba to this particular hotel due to the outstanding staff.
