My friend and I were able to check in early and stay late for our late flight. The Manager Ahmed was amazing showing enthusiasm regarding our being there and treated us like queens. Mahamout keep our room tidy and provided us with fabulous towel creatures everyday. The included breakfast is delicious with many items including Middle Eastern choices to choose from. The staff went way beyond to make sure our stay was memorable. I certainly would stay at The Cedar if I returned to Aqaba.

Very nice hotel, great staff
We spent in Aqaba only one night and Cedar Hotel was an highlight of our stay. The premises are close to all the amenities in town and the staff helped us to discover the best parts of the city. The room was nice, comfortable and clean with courtesy bath set, air condition and free water in the fridge. The hotel has a deal with Berenice Beach Club so you can enter the club at half price. We definitely enjoyed our stay here and we would recommend the hotel to the other turists visiting Aqaba.

Decent option at middle-range pricing
Decent option in the Aqaba region, not terribly far from the port area and a 5-10 minute walk from restaurants. The rooms are very clean, the mattresses are extremely thin and the beds hard, the bathroom is good (no TP flush, FYI), and the breakfast has more options than expected.

Cheap and you get what you pay for
We booked this hotel because od its price so we really had no expectations and yet we left unsatisfied. Hotel is in a bit of a crapy area, bot not unsafe, off hotels area but close to the Suk and places to eat. Free parking st the street. Check in was great. The guy at receptions gave outstanding service, offering all help and information, outstanding! The room.we booked was twin room. The beds were extremely had and very inconvenient. Windows are not double blazed so all street noises easily heard in the room, including the call to.the pray, 5 times a day, starting 4:30am... Bathroom is nice, well equipped, how ever we needed to wait about 10 min each time for the hot water to come all the way to the 3rd floor. On the second morning there were no hot water at all...! We stayed for 2 nights and no one clerned the room, fixed the bed or changed towels in between. Breakfast is basic. On the first morningbwe were the only one do we got breakfast on a plate cover with nylon... Second morning there were probebly more guests, that we didn't see, but a basic bouffet was offered. All in all it wasn't our best experience but also not our worst... I would spend some more money next time and go to a better one.

The hotel was super clean, the toilet was proper sanitized. The only downside was probably the design of the hotel needs an upgrade. I had a comfortable stay. The manager/owner was a very nice guy and the hotel was pretty close to Rakwet Kanaan restaurant, which I highly recommended.

Upon arrival was made a coffee, given plate of fresh fruit and nibbles, very nice touch after a long drive from Tabuk Saudi. Air con was very quiet, bathroom clean with lots of freebies. Breakfast was basic but fine for me. Internet was very good. I went to the Beatrice beach 20jd included entrance, lunch and snorkelling gear and transport if you need it, sold by the hotel. There are cheaper options available. Overall the hotel is exceptional value and the staff very helpful and friendly.

Budget hotel, no frills, kind staff
My room was fine, however the friends I was travelling with had a broken toilet in their room, and were asked to use the one across the hall. My A/C unit rattled badly. The bed was not a common mattress, but something much harder. That said, the price was good, and the staff was friendly.

I booked the Cedar hotel through expedia. Unfortunately, expedia didn't notify the hotel until 5 days after my booking was made. It was a holiday weekend and all the rooms were full. The staff at the Cedar did everything they could to find me a room for the night. Thanks so much to the friendly and efficient staff. Expedia......where is your rating site?

Good value clean hotel
The Cedar Hotel was a good spot to stay if you don't want to pay big dollars to stay right on the sea. It is about a 10 minute walk to the public beach. The staff were incredibly helpful and of course the animal towels are fun. Breakfast was okay, the standard middle eastern spread fo vegies, dips, bread, egg etc. the room was very clean and our young boys slept on a sofa bed in our room which was made up into a bed.

Felt pampered on a budget--LOVE the towel animals!
Great, great hotel at a budget price! One block off the main street and near restaurants and open-air markets and a short walk to the (very busy) beach. Large, well-appointed room, relatively spacious and clean bathroom (uncommon in this part of the world), and super friendly staff. And a great bonus: Rami in housekeeping does a wonderful job each day making towel animals on the beds! My first evening, I had a crab and an elephant, and the second evening, I came in to encounter a huge alligator! Discovering these brought a huge smile to my face. He claims that he has a repertoire of 50 different animals and will do a new one each night on a multi-night stay. Wonderful stay--highly recommended and will definitely return next time I am in the area! There's also a good-value laundry service next door to the hotel lobby, and they even delivered my cleaned items directly to my room while I was up in Petra for the day.

I booked only one night but ended up staying for five. The manager was really flexible to accommodate my needs, also super friendly and helpful when I had all kinds of questions. Staff speaks great English, not only the manager, and they make sure you have all you need. I stayed in two different rooms (checked out and then back in the next day) and both of them were good. Wifi was completely stable which I appreciated. Very warm shower. Located on a quiet street and not in the busiest area, but close enough to restaurants etc.
