Al-Amer Aqaba Beach Hostel

Everything! Most of all the staff are above and beyond helpful for start to finish- great communication- and when I arrived and had only 35 minutes to walk in the heat to get a sim I was offered a drive in their car to make it in time easily! Also recommended great places to eat, best place for coffee. I had a private room overlooking the sea which was lovely.

Way too much furniture in the room - so cluttered - take at least half out. Great to have a fridge and a/c and bed was lovely.

The location was great, right next to the sea. The room was very comfortable, we received a free upgrade. The staff were very friendly and helpful

Nothing

Imagine a hostel where the staff literally brings breakfast to your bed on a tray. Yes, that actually happened. But let me start from the beginning. The owner was incredibly helpful, funny, and open‑minded. He even upgraded us to a larger, sea‑view room. At the reception you can always find free drinking water, tea, and coffee. Unfortunately, the Iran–USA conflict escalated during our stay, and this is where the owner truly went above and beyond. He organized our evacuation and helped us plan our entire trip to Egypt. Without his support, everything would have been far more complicated. Even after we left, he kept in touch to make sure we arrived safely. He genuinely cares about feedback and is constantly trying to improve the hostel. The location is also excellent—surrounded by bars and restaurants, within walking distance of both the beach and the city center. There’s an on‑site laundry, and the staff is always ready to help with anything you need.

No basic amenities and cleaniness. It was more like a dorm stay with stinking and broken ACs. We asked for a change or room.. but was told the AC is working. Obviously it was working. But you kinda have a feel like
