The location is excellent, within 5 minutes walk from any place in downtown Aqaba and from the public beach, but you will need a taxi to get to the the more fancy beach and resorts/diving sites.
The staff is friendly and the restaurant serves good food for reasonable price. The rooms are basic , but maintenance lacks. There were light switches and outlets that did not fully cover the hole behind them, and the door did not fully open without extra pushing. Couple tiles in the hallway were loose. All and all, I would recommend this hotel due to the location and price.
Please mind that there is a mosque down the street and there are calls for prayers several times a day, including very early in the morning. This is common in every town you stay-in in a Muslim country and should be expected.
Comfortable, close to the sea, great breakfast, Friendly staff, Rooms are clean except the Bath room needs renovation. I strongly recommended.

Room was quite noisy during the night, so we could not get good sleep. Cleanliness could be improved some more. Building and amenities are a little outdated.
The hotel is nice, the breakfast is very good especially if you like Jordanian food like us. I cannot say that the room was the most quiet but we slept remarkably well. Staff is very friendly. WiFi was terrible in the room, but good in the lobby.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms could do with refurbishment but they were clean and perfect for our one-night stay. Breakfast was nice. It was on-road parking but we found a space around the back without any problem.
The bathroom needs renovation, we didn't get to stay for the night as we had to leave for emergency but it had good location, the room was nice, beds were comfy, it has ac.
I looked throughout Expedia and other travel sites to find a hotel in Aqaba as I found that many hotels appeared to be slightly run down and many reviews stated that couples were not permitted to stay without showing a marriage license. I was a bit skeptical when I found Zaitouna Hotel since it didn't have many reviews, but I was very pleased upon arrival. The staff was very kind and hospitable. The room was very nice and it didn't have a smell (like I read was the case at other places). The breakfast was a great assortment of food, all very tasty. I will definitely recommend this hotel to all my friends who visit Aqaba!
