Nairoukh Hotel Aqaba

we stayed at this hotel for one night before going to Petra. it is a nice hotel with a good size room & bathroom. The front desk staff was very nice. We had the breakfast buffet in the morning which was Mediterranean but seemed decent. I think a good room for the price.

We booked Nairoukh Hotel thinking it was a 4 star hotel. It is not. It's 3 star at best. The room I was given smelt of cigarettes, I asked if they could give me another room but the hotel was fully booked. They did send house keeping to spray some air freshener but I could smell the cigarettes. The room was rough around the edges, the carpet had stains on it , there wasn't a mirror in the room itself but in the bathroom. The breakfast room had a great view of the sea/ beach but the food itself wasn't good. The staff tried their best and were helpful but the rooms weren't good. The location of the hotel was good as it was very close to the beach and shops.

Stayed here on two occasions in a standard room. Overall, the service at front desk was good, in the restaurant it was non-existent and the price was low. I did not like the room – it was very small, worn-out and in dire need of refurbishment, and the bed was ridiculously low. It was a non-smoking room – with an ashtray in it. The bathroom was seriously tiny and not for the infirm. It was obvious that some of the toiletries in the bathroom had been partly used by the previous occupant – not acceptable, even for a budget hotel. The breakfast was not very good. I learnt that they made omelettes for you – after I had eaten my breakfast. There was no sign or menu to tell me this and the attendants did not bother to tell me. In fact, they did not even bother to say “Good morning”. Even the things that should be hot, like the tea and “hot” milk were not hot. There were some positives. The service at the front desk was good as was the location. For the price paid, I would say the hotel is acceptable but they could easily improve. Would I go back? Possibly, if I was alone and for one night but not if I was with family.
