"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."

"Amazing hostel!! The owner is so so kind. The breakfast is homemade everyday and absolutely delicious (I almost never like hostel 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!"
