. I had a wonderful stay at Extra Traveller Hostel. The place is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Anas is an excellent host — I also joined him for a tour in Aqaba, which I highly recommend. He can help you organize the rest of your trip in Jordan as well; for example, he booked a fantastic camp for me in Wadi Rum. He’s very honest and always offers great value-for-money packages. Hostel is close to Jett bus station, pretty convenient.

The owner, Annas, is a great host. He can arrange everything for you and he is super friendly. Hr arranged my snorkel trip, a boat cruise, and he gave a tour around Amman at night. He also gave food food recommendations. The female dorm was clean. They clean the shared bathrooms regularly too. There are some lockers outside the room but there weren't many people staying so I didn't use them.

This is the second time I've stayed at Extra-Traveler, and I would definitely come again. The hostel is super clean and comfortable, and Anas and Seif go out of their way to make you feel at home. There are two shared bathrooms which are always spotless, and the rooms are comfortable, and have outlets and AC/fans. They also often community events which are a lovely way to learn about Jordanian culture and get to know other travelers. The hostel is also located in a super convenient location- walking distance to most places and just a few minute walk to the JETT bus station. Highly highly recommend staying here.

Amazing hostel!! The owner is so so kind. The breakfast is homemade everyday and absolutely delicious (I almost never like hotel breakfasts). The WiFi is also great! Good enough to work remotely although it was a bit patchy a few days! Maybe need backup for an important video call but outside of that was able to work no problems! Great location! Wadi rum tour booked through them was awesome!! Highly highly recommend!

Beds were quite tough so just be prepared for that. Everything else is lovely, though!

Amazing location (near the JET bus office), lovely breakfast of falafel sandwiches, and the hosts are soooo lovely, warm, welcoming, and full of information. They keep the hostel quiet and clean and it's non-smoking and non-drinking so also feels very safe. Strongly recommend!

The place is lovely. The two brothers that manage the hostel or very nice and did everything to make my stay comfortable, offering tea and even sharing their own meal. They also cooked some pastries in the evening. I had the feeling that I was home and extended my stay. The rooms are quiet with AC, everything for a good sleep, especially if you are tired, as I was :).

Really clean and quiet. Very central location and also conveniently located next to the bus station too. The bed was SOOOOO comfortable. The female dorm was 5 beds but it felt so spacious. Breakfast was tasty. Also staff are lovely. I stayed here because I got the ferry from Nuewba, so I came to aqaba only two nights. Actually, I wished I'd stayed longer so that i could do some scuba diving here because it looks like a great place to do see some wrecks that are accessible and good for OWD level. The hostel can arrange this for you and they quoted a great price, honestly.

The Manager Anas is a good guy and helpful, he made my stay in Aqaba wonderful. He invited me to a delicious lunch even if it's not included in the reservation and let me stay in the hostel after the check-out. The location of the hostel is very convenient, less than 10 minutes walking slowly to the bus station JETT, and close to all the sightseeing places and facilities in Aqaba.

I booked an overnight tour to Wadi Rum for 70JD and then found out that you can get it for 50JD. I asked Anas about it, and he said the tour company I was going with had a new vehicle. This wasn't correct as it was 20 years old. However, the tent camp was all very new. I loved the trip, so even if I overpaid, it was worth it. Also, Anas said we had to pay 8JD for a taxi to take us to Berenice Beach Club at South Beach. But I got there and found out that the beach club picks up and drops off for free! I would think Anas should know about this but maybe makes extra money on the taxis or at least his friends do. I knocked 1 star off for the above but overall, I'm super happy with everything I did through Anas and the hostel is really pleasant.

Close to the Jett bus station and easy to walk to the beach and around town. Clean and comfortable. Soap and shampoo in the bathroom. Good breakfast. Anas works his butt off from morning to night. I don't know how he keeps track of everyone going and coming. For 105 JD, Anas picked me up in Petra, drove me to the Dead Sea where I could swim, then we returned to Aqaba. I think this was a lot of money but Anas did some nice things to make it worth it. We stopped at a falafel place where he bought us some really yummy falafel wraps. Then, when we came across a group of camels in the road, he stopped so that I could feed them some bread. All the time together in the car allowed me to ask a lot of questions about Jordan and it was really interesting.

First, I would like to thank Anas and his family. The host and family are welcoming and make one feel comfortable. Anas is determined to make your trip go as smoothly as possible. He offers tours, suggest places to eat, shop, and tips on navigating around. He's incredibly helpful and knowledgeable of Aqaba and surrounding areas. He arranged a one night stay in Wadi Rum and suggested a hostel to stay in Petra (close to the entrance). He also helped me book bus tickets. Breakfast is healthy, and good portions. If you want to try local food, Anas' recommendations are on point. The hostel is clean, and the beds are comfortable and very quiet at night.

A little difficult to find but I think there was a problem with GPS in Aqaba

Friendly staff, a nice clean hostel with good sized & clean communal kitchen, large clean bathroom. Each bed has small lamp, privacy curtains &charging socket. The hostel is only 5 mins walk to bus station to go to Petra / Wadi Rum, and seriously the comfiest bunk bed I have ever slept in...!! Oh and breakfast is included !!

Asna is amazing! A wonderful host who does everything possible to make us feel at home. It was so nice to arrive in the country and be able to find a place that I felt so comfortable in and someone who helped me organize my trip around the rest of the country. He helped me book the diving in Aqaba, did the tour around the city, help to get a taxi from the airport, the the tour to Wadi Rum and even gave me recommendations on where to go in Jordan. 10/10

One of the best hostel experiences I’ve been to. Anas was very welcoming, sweet and friendly. Not only did he cook us delicious food but also showed us around Aqaba and was always available to help getting around. I can’t recommend this place enough! It’s been a lovely experience

Absolutely nothing- except that It was a short trip; I wish I could have stayed longer.

the warm smiles and genuine hospitality of the staff. It's rare to find a place that combines comfort, cleanliness, and such an inviting atmosphere. The facilities were exceptional—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed and also enhanced my experience by encouraging connections with fellow travelers. The staff truly went above and beyond to make my visit memorable. Whether it was offering insightful tips about local attractions, helping me with logistics, or just sharing friendly conversations, their kindness and professionalism did not go unnoticed. It's clear that they've put thought and care into making the hostel more than just a place to sleep—it’s a home away from home.
