A Bedouin tent in the lobby is the first thing you see as you enter the Golden Tulip hotel. The parrot (an African Grey) lives in the bar. The rooms all open onto a vine-hung atrium and are fine, as long as you don't get the cubbyhole that is obviously meant for children accompanying their parents in the adjoining room. The beds even had plastic mattress covers -not the most comfortable way to spend the night! Just check - the other rooms were all perfectly OK.
The location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from restaurants, shops and the beach. And the tut (mulberry) juice we were given on our arrival was delicious.
The hotel is situated in the city centre of Aqaba, surrounded by the best restaurants and Diving-centres in town within 5 minutes walking distance from the beach. The hotel has got nice and clean rooms with air conditioning and TV. The food in the restaurant is not so good!!! If you can go in one of the many restaurant that you find near the hotel.
Directions: The Golden Tulip Aqaba is located in the heart of Aqaba 2 minutes walking from the beach. Its central location makes it the ideal venue for both the leisure and business traveller.
