Karam House - Aqaba

very good. Location is central and quiet. Owner is nice and helpful. Room is spacious and well-equipped. Good value for money.

We had a great stay at Karam House & recommend it for others looking at this price-range. We were greeted warmly, the room was clean & comfortable, the shower had hot water and it was just a couple of minutes walk to some great (cheap & tasty) places to eat or the bus to Petra/Wadi Rum, & 5 mins walk to the beach. Although the WiFi didn't really work in the bedroom, there was a sitting area in our room & the WiFi worked well there - so no inconvenience at all.

Stayed one night alone at Karam House in a huge, clean and modern room. Struggled with hot water but on checkout the lady said I had been doing something wrong - check with them if it doesn’t work! The location is near to the beach and restaurants and bars, but it is in the middle of lots of furniture shops/scrapyards - odd location for a hotel but safe nonetheless. Staff were helpful with Aqaba recommendations too. All in all - good value stay!

We loved this hotel. The gentleman who is usually at the front desk was extremely helpful. He helped us find some electrical outlet adapters after we had left ours behind on a bus. He also knew where we could purchase some 9 Volt batteries, something no commonly used in Jordan. He also provided us a great map showing us where we could find almost anything we desired. The room was really great and the bathroom was too. The elevator was very fast and wonderful. This hotel is located in a quiet but convenient location.

Excellent service, very helpful reception staff that advised us on local food options and pointed us towards a very nice beach nearby. Very happy with the stay overall.

Great price. Room was spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful.

My friends and I had a nice stay here. We had a late check-in that didn't go very smoothly because of some issues with the original room (it was boiling hot), but the man on night-shift was very helpful and put us in another room. He was very gracious to us obnoxious American college kids and was there to help any time we needed anything.

This hotel was a miss from start to finish. Upon checking in, the man at the front desk demanded payment even though we had already paid through *******. Once we got that sorted out, we got to our room and it felt like a sauna. There was no AC on in 104-degree heat. The hotel appeared pretty clean, but throughout our stay, we found 3 dead roaches throughout our room, 2 of which were already there upon our arrival. On top of that, our shower didn't work. The hotel is located in an alley that definitely did not feel the safest, especially when we walked back to the hotel at night. Its also located across from a "Chinese massage parlor" which gave weird vibes. The wifi they advertise online doesn't actually work. I guess you get what you pay for with this place, but just keep in mind that there is a ton of false advertising. The only plus was that the beds were comfortable. Would definitely recommend spending the extra money to stay somewhere nicer and closer to town.

Nice and comfortable place to stay close to heart of Aqaba. Friendly staff. Recommended!
