The family that runs the place will make you feel at home. They care dearly about their guests and will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. If you stay here, know that the dinners and breakfasts are cooked by the mom of the family, and she's an exceptional cook. What's more, most of the food is grown in their garden downstairs.
On our last night we had a lengthy conversation with the eldest son of the family, about jordanian culture and traditions, which was extremely interesting.
The rooms are great and spacious, with comfortable beds, have a mini fridge and the hostel is 12 minutes drive trough a gorgeous road.
Last but not least, as the name says the place has a breathtaking view over the mountains that surround Petra. If you have dinner here you'll enjoy a beautiful view of the sunset behind the mountains.
I can't recommend this place...

We were gifted a room with a gorgeous view! Every evening and morning we had a delightful local dinner and breakfast homemade by Othmans wife.

He even took the time to give us a tour in his garden to enjoy the herbs and fruits (which are all used in the meals they prepare!). We would absolutely recommend you to visit Plaza View Hostel and get to know Othman and his family as they are extremely hospitable and will go above and beyond to make your...
Read moreWe had a fantastic stay here! The staff was incredibly attentive, the rooms were spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and the linens were crisp and clean. The room had air conditioning, which was a huge plus. The location is perfect with great views.
On the rooftop, there's a restaurant where you can enjoy a refreshing drink and a great shisha. The food, both for breakfast and dinner, was homemade and the quality-price ratio was excellent. We originally booked for just one night, but we enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay for another night.
Highly recommended for a wonderful and affordable experience. We'd...
