This wasn't our 1st choice, but after staying here, I'm glad we did. The owners gave us a good rate & also a room with a view to the beach. The room was massive for 2 people, which was nice as we were staying 3 nights it meant we could make ourselves comfortable and unpack. The room, bathroom and bedsheets... More

Perfect for relaxing after travelling through Jordan. Beach is scruffy, but snorkelling excellent. Hotel has really nice pool which you can relax around with no hassle. Rooms very nice, air con was decent. Very good value for money and well worth a stay. Taxis cost 5JD from the flagpole in Aqaba, a lot of competition so we never paid more... More

I stayed there only because I couldn't find any affordable place in the city but it turned to be alright since I wanted only to relax anyway. It is ca. 15 min drive from Aqaba so if you like to be in the city don't stay there. The pool is pleasant, the food is good. The staff was also nice... More

My wife and I had a reservation at the Bedouin Garden Village next door and were walking up the street trying to find it. The 'manager' at Darna must have overheard us talking about where we were staying and called out saying 'this is the Garden Village', so we innocently assumed he was telling the truth. We went through the... More

This is the best place in Aqaba. A great little familiar hotel just in front of the Red Sea. The food is amazing and the staff are the best ever. The owner is really nice and helpful and he can tell you everything you need to know about Aqaba and Jordan in general. Also, we snorkeled with "The Shark". There´s... More

The only reason it would be worth staying is if you want to snorkel and just be on the beach. Great location. Everything not so much. Far from the city center, pretty spare rooms (there was a cockroach in my bathroom), and not so eager to please staff. They pretty much watched tv the whole time. Stay if you want... More

We stayed here for 4 nights in April. Great location just across the road from the beach and less than 10 minutes drive into town. It has a laid back hostel vibe, but there are no dorms only rooms. Great pool to relax by. Food was good but a little expensive. The guys who run the place are really friendly... More

We had 4 nights and 3 full days in Aqaba, staying at Darna Hotel. We stayed there that long only because we had booked: the place is poor but not quite bad enough for us to go through the bother of checking out. It does have some some good points: the location, at the south end of the Japanese Garden... More

This hotel is just not very nice or has been very loved. Even after spending a night and day walking in the Wadi Rum (which by the way is brilliant) and really just wanting a place to rest our weary heads for the night, we still checked out 30 minutes after checking in!! Our room was sparse to be very... More
