Pizza Street Hostel offers some rooms with sea views, and rooms come with a balcony. The rooms have bed linen.

This hostel is not just an accommodation - it's something more. The owner made our trip in Jordan more special and we will remember that for very very long time. We travel around the world and we always stay in hostels, but we have never met such a welcoming host. We had a wonderful dinner together, scuba diving, many many chats and such a good laugh. We will definitely back here. Don't think twice Pizza Street Hostel is the best choice. Thank you once again !

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I can not fault this place, one of the best hostels I stayed in so far. The owners go above and beyond to help and answer any questions you ask. Make an amazing breakfast which is included in the price. The beds are very comfortable in a huge room, that is super clean and air conditioned. You can tell that even the cleaner loves working there, this place just radiates positive vibes. Highly recommended it!

    The stay was exceptional. The host was kind and welcoming showing me the apartment. The space is big and comfortable perfect for families. The furniture was new and modern. Including 2 showers with excellent water pressure and water heater. The security was awesome as it included cctv and 2 entrance doors before the apartment having a safe feel. The price is reasonable and cheap And only 5 min drive away from the beach. Overall I enjoyed my stay

    Frankly, I advise all guests in this wonderful hostel. Very beautiful view, great location, the owner of the hostel and his son Abdullah. They help you with everything, a swim in the boat, and the Wadi Rum tour is the most amazing. The prices are cheap and the beach is beautiful. Thank you I will be back
