    I had an incredible stay at Petra Cabin Hostel and can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, the staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always available to assist with local recommendations, directions, or even just a warm smile. The cabins are thoughtfully designed—compact yet cozy, clean, and surprisingly comfortable. Each cabin offers enough privacy for a restful sleep, and the shared spaces are well-maintained and inviting. The hostel has a calm and peaceful atmosphere, perfect after a long day exploring Petra. One of the biggest highlights was the location. Just minutes away from the Petra Visitor Center, it made getting to and from the archaeological site extremely convenient. Plus, the hostel offers great views of the surrounding mountains, especially at sunrise and sunset. The value for money is outstanding. The amenities, cleanliness, location, and hospitality far exceeded my expectations for the price. There’s also a great communal vibe that makes it easy to meet other travelers if you’re looking for a social experience. Overall, Petra Cabin Hostel is a hidden gem. Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, or a group of friends, it’s a perfect base for visiting Petra. I would absolutely stay here again!

    I had an incredible experience at Petra Cabin Hostel! The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming — they truly made me feel at home. From helping with local tips to arranging transport and meals, they went above and beyond. The location is ideal — just a short walk from Petra’s entrance, which made it super convenient to get an early start. The capsule cabins were clean, cozy, and private, with charging ports, lights, and curtains for a great night’s sleep. One of the best surprises was the food. The dinner was freshly prepared and delicious, offering a taste of local Jordanian flavors. I also appreciated the packed lunch box they offered for Petra hikes — generous portions, healthy options, and super convenient for a full day of exploring. The bathrooms and common areas were spotless, and breakfast was tasty and filling with a good mix of options. I also enjoyed the relaxed, social vibe in the lounge where travelers gathered to share stories. Fantastic, kind staff Clean, modern capsules Delicious dinner & handy lunch boxes Excellent location Great value for money I’d highly recommend Petra Cabin Hostel to anyone visiting the area — it was one of the best parts of my Jordan trip!

    Petra Cabin Hostel is the best accommodation for solo travelers. The location is 5 minutes from the Petra visitor center and within the shopping district. The staff are friendly and helpful. It was safe, internet and shower worked, and the bed was perfect after a day of hiking. The value of this spot is really worthwhile, because of how central and capsule-like it was. I really enjoyed my time in Petra and would highly recommend Petra Cabin Hostel.

    Nothing. All good.

    Great location! Something like a 10 minute walk to both the Jett bus station and the entrance to Petra. Very clean and comfy. Big shared area. Great breakfast and dinner buffet at a reasonable price. The beds are large and have comfy bedding. There's a plastic accordion curtain that closes your bed and gives you privacy. Everyone was really quiet and I slept well.

    Hands down the comfiest bed I’ve slept in at a hostel. I was having issues booking a Jett bus back to Amman and the owner called the Jett office and their system was down so that was nice of him to check on that for me. The only down side was I had Luke warm water when I took a shower

    Honestly, there’s nothing we didn’t like.

    This is one of the hostels I’ve enjoyed the most in my traveling life. I loved the location; it’s an easy walk to the tourist information center where the Petra canyon begins. The view is spacious and bright, and there are plenty of couches to relax, chat, and connect with others. The owner and staff are incredibly kind, and from the very first day, I felt warmly welcomed and well cared for. The small cave-like rooms are very cozy, and sleeping there felt great. My mom and I truly appreciated it, especially because the owner made sure we were comfortable. The bathrooms are quite spacious, the showers are good, the internet worked very well, and the breakfast was delicious. We left with a very positive impression of the place.

    Everything was perfect!

    This hostel was amazing! Actually it's a big spacious area with spacious cabins, I felt absolutely comfortable in my cabin, easily 3 ppl could fit in, mattress was comfy, you get small locker and absolute privacy just for yourself. Common areas like bathrooms and kitchen were very clean and well maintained (we all know how hard is that in hostel!), whole Petra Cabin Hostel has a peaceful home vibe. I met 2 women and 2 men who work there and everyone was kind, helpful and welcoming. This hostel is also strategically located near Petra visitor center, just 3 minutes walk, as well as near JETT bus stop. I forgot my phone charger, they saved it for me, and even let me stay for few hours in living room, after I returned from Wadi Rum and needed a place to check in for my next day flights and wait for a JETT bus to Amman. Highly appreaciated, thank you so much!

    … If you want a very beautiful social experience then you are at the right place. They make sure that everything is completely comfortable, the cabin are clean and the people there were so nice. The staff were so nice especially safaa (am not sure if I am spelling it right) and normal ( also she has such an awesome music taste). The hostel has multiple shared spaces to relax and share good vibes, these spaces were the best in Petra that I have tried, and the price is so good. The place was so good that I might just consider to comeback to Jordan to visit and stay with them only. Thank you for creating such a place…

    It is located in the 7th floor, and uphill. But it is nearby the petra visitor center (650m), you can walk.

    A very affordable hostel with clean facilities and comfortable futons. The dinner features delicious local cuisine at a low cost, offering plenty of food to recharge your energy after a trail in Petra.

    If you are looking for a place to stay. This is a really good one. The staff is super friendly, the cabin are clean and they have a very nice resturant with Petra and Wadi Musa views. Jordan is a safe country if you are considering to visit now, we are currently visiting all around the country. Also very safe for women.
