First night fantastic location, very lively and great vibe. Easy walking to many restaurants and shops. Very helpful owner who goes over and beyond to make a stay that is comfortable and just right for you. We are in our late sixties so for us the location was a bit too noisy, so the owner took us to his other hostel (Alamer home from home ) for our second night and it was wonderful. A bit further from the beach but still easy walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops. We loved the very friendly and homely vibe in this quiet location.

Only 2 minutes’ walk from the beach of Eilat and several steps from the Mall Hayam shopping centre, Little Prince Hostel-5 Min Walk To The Beach offers air-conditioned rooms located in the very lively tourist area near the night clubs.

The room was fine. Windows to the parking lot, easy to check on car. A little fridge in the room helped keeping our drinks cold. It was good to have shampoo there, we forgot ours. There's common kitchen on the floor with a cooler and coffee/tea, very nice. The roof terrace is above everything. Our noise couldn't bother no soul.

    This is a great place for backpackers. The location is just fantastic, just a kilometer away from Aqaba Gateway, and right opposite the local bus station. They have a balcony where you can dry your clothes, something not hostels have. You can also plan your water activities from this place, and tours as well. They also have a range of diving equipment you can use for free. The breakfast is really good as well.

    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
