Al Amer - Aqaba Beach Hostel

If you are looking for a great experience in Aqaba this is the right Hostel. Amer is one of the best hosts I’ve ever got to meet. He showed us everything around, even drove us to the places we wanted to visit and the homemade food they cooked for dinner and breakfast was great. I felt as if I was visiting my family. Excellent excellent. Thank you so much

Look no further if you're in Aqaba; this place is a gem! The hospitality is top-notch, and the views are absolutely mesmerizing. Abdallah truly stands out as the epitome of excellence in service. Close your eyes, trust them to take care of you, and get ready for an unforgettable experience!

This was a great hostel and they are so welcoming and help us with any requests. There is even free tea to drink and chat in the reception. The view is amazing with a wonderful sunset and you can walk onto the beach. They also organise diving trips for you with a very professional service and the coral is incredible.

The hostel and rooms were clean, modern, and well located by the local beach in Aqaba. Our room had a lovely view of the bay, and beach in front.
The standout for the hostel was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. We were greeted with tea and a discussion to help us get the most out of our stay as well as the local area. Abdallah was most helpful to us and organised diving for us, even providing us transport when the local taxis were on strike. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and our time was maximised by the staff here.
Cannot speak highly enough about this hostel and its wonderful staff!

Abdallah is the best dude ever! We had an awesome time. It’s right on the beach which is epic!!!!! Mega good views out the window of the Red Sea. Everyone’s super cool. Perfect stay, if I could put eight stars I would

Very good! Recommend it to everyone. Clean, good service and location.

I just showed up to this hostel needing a place to stay, and i was greeted by the owner.....This is a nice and clean hostel. The place is right on the water...I do highly recommend and will stay here again. The place is well kooled by AC in the evening, and the private rooms have their own AC and ocean view(which I got 22jod/night). Enjoy! Use whatsapp to contact.

To put it simply, Abdullah is better than words can begin to describe. His hospitality, kindness and open-heartedness is second to no-one. Abdullah’s ability to make you feel completely and utterly welcome is beyond what one would expect, let alone even dare to hope for, in a host. His hostel is equally beautiful, set on the beach providing unchallenged views across the Red Sea and the sunset, the hostel makes your stay feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of Aqaba. In all, the experience was incredible and outer worldly, I would recommend Abdullah and his hostel to anyone with the highest degree.

By far the best hostel I've stayed in!

I wish I could rate this hostel higher. The owner and his son truly turned our trip around after having a bad hostel experience in Jerusalem. They set us up with the cheapest snorkel tour and wadi rum tour by far, invited us to join them for free lunch twice and gave us great advice on everything else.

After heading to Petra for a few days we returned for an evening before catching the ferry to Egypt. They let us stay there, in the AC, for the few hours we had waiting for the late night ferry. They offered us free tea and water and got us a good taxi to the port.

Once we arrived the taxi found out the ferry had been cancelled. This rarely happens and wasn't announced anywhere. We returned to Al Amer and they saw we were upset we lost a day in Egypt and gave us a nights stay FOR FREE.

Truly incredible people that really are in the business to help people travel affordably and enjoy their country!

Amazing stay and with amazing hospitality.

Maje aagaye bale bale shawa shawa..

Waha wha wah

Truly a fantastic place to stay in, the views are just incredible and the staff made the place feel like home.

We had an amazing time in aqaba, thanks to the owner. We felt very welcomed and included. Everything is easy going and always done with a smile. One of the best hostel experiences so far for me!

Despite the reasonable prices, the place provides excellent value as it is clean, conveniently located in the heart of the city. However, I would have been more satisfied if the air conditioning was slightly cooler.

Very cozy and valuable place. Staff very friendly, room a bit dirty but nothing special. We had the room without sea view so apart from the view it was better due to less noise

Great budget hostel for a day stay in Aqaba. Staff is cool and super friendly and will help you with whatever you might need like advices, arranging transfers, etc. I really appreciated free tea and water. 😁

I ended up at Al Amer Hostel really by chance and it changed my whole trip, as I got to also meet amazing locals and travelers. Amer is an amazing host, together with his bright son Abdullah and fun nephew Hamza, the amazing sister Tamara. Staying at this place made me feel like I entered their lives and home for a few days and definitely made me feel like I was living an authentic experience. So yes, after all, places can be improved in many aspects, but the feeling of being welcomed in someone's home is so strong that the rest does not matter! Thank you Amer for a great time in Aqaba, see you soon!

I stayed there last year around this dates so I was checking it out on Bookingcom. (I booked through it) and over there this place has bad reviews and I have no idea why. That's what prompted this late review. We were 4 people, stayed in 2 rooms. The rooms were spacious and well furnished. We all had an amazing time there, booked 2 nights and ended up staying one more. The owner/host was simply the best, he provided everything we needed from music to ice or towels, (his team of employees are excellent as well) he treated us like family. We played cards in the big spacious area outside and he and his employees gave us incredible service he even sent a big plate of Kunafa to our table. I would love to go back to Aqaba and I would absolutely return to Al Amer Chalet 2.

I booked one night in a 4 beds dorm and for the price it was totally fine. There is even a TV and aircon in the room!
The highlight of the place it;s the staff and the location (right at the beach).
Ibrahim and Murad are just the best guys, super friendly, fun and helpful.
I enjoyed my time in Al Amer and decided to stay one more night :)

An amazing place and a great staff, one thing that can be developed is for to develop is to have the hostel rules written in an open space for everyone to read. All the best

Best Host so friendly and so helpful I really liked it ❤❤❤
