    The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to assist. the rooms were clean and comfortable, with handy amenities such as plug sockets and curtains by the beds. the breakfast provided was delicious, with a variety of options like hummus, falafel, and bread. the location was also convenient, close to the city center and the Red Sea gulf.

    One minor issue was the temperature outside the rooms, particularly in the lobby, reception, and living room, which tended to be too warm. there was a slight inconvenience when it came to shared spaces, as some guests were not considerate enough to keep their belongings organized, which resulted in limited storage space for others.

    The hostel had clean and cozy rooms, making me feel at home during my long stay. the staff was amazing, always friendly and helpful. They provided a big space to store my backpack and the bathroom was very clean. the hostel also had good facilities, like a special work room for digital nomads. the breakfast included was delicious and there was even the option to rent snorkeling equipment for a reasonable price.

    I found the location of the hostel to be a bit inconvenient. It was quite far from the bus station, which made it challenging to get around.

    The hostel had a great social atmosphere and a rooftop with a nice view. the beds were comfortable and had plug sockets and curtains for privacy. the staff was very helpful and friendly, and there was delicious breakfast with hummus, falafel, and bread.

    Maybe a smaller light by the bed would have been nice, and the parking situation was a bit inconvenient.

    During my recent stay at a hostel in Aqaba, I had the most amazing experience at Hakaia Community. The energy of the place was incredible, with a diverse group of travelers from different backgrounds. I met an Israeli hummus-lover, a smart Finn who shared all the best travel tips, a savvy veteran from the Balkans, and even the most Saudi Italian you could imagine! Every morning, I started my day with a delicious breakfast and was always greeted by the friendly owner. The hostel was clean and centrally located, with a bus stop conveniently situated just around the corner. The overall positive vibe and good energy of Hakaia Community made my stay truly unforgettable.

    Although everything was very good during my stay, I would recommend that guests be mindful of their belongings and keep them in the designated areas. Additionally, at night, there may be some traffic noise, so earplugs could come in handy.

    What a great value for money! The room was really nice and comfortable, and the location of the hostel was perfect. The staff at Hakaia Community were incredibly friendly and treated me like family.

    The morning meal could have been improved by having a wider variety of options.

    The staff was absolutely amazing! They were so helpful and made sure I had everything I needed. They even checked in with me after I checked in to see if there was anything else they could do to make my stay more enjoyable. Plus, the beds were super comfortable and had their own shelves and sockets. the AC and fan kept me cool and allowed me to have a good night's sleep. I also loved the beautiful surroundings and the adorable kittens they had. Plus, the location was perfect, right in the center of everything.

    There were a couple of things that I didn't like. the showers were not very clean.

    I had a great time at the hostel, especially because of the convenient location. It was close to the city center and the beautiful Red Sea gulf. the hostel also had sparkling clean rooms with comfortable beds and private curtains. the staff was very friendly and helpful, even making me falafel sandwiches for my trip. the hostel also offered various trips and had a co-working space, which was a great advantage for solo travelers like me.

    I wish there were more options for breakfast.

    The breakfast was amazing, with delicious hummus, falafel, and bread. The staff was friendly and helpful, always providing clean water and tea. The beds were comfortable and had plug sockets and curtains for privacy.

    There was not enough lighting in the room, especially by the bed. , some guests were not considerate and filled up the floor with their belongings, making it difficult to use the full-up cabinets.
