⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Hostel in Oman!!! This hostel is simply perfect! The location is a dream: within a short distance from a peaceful beach and a stunning, elegant marina, a picture-perfect setting. The neighborhood is sophisticated, safe, and full of charm – one of the very best in Muscat. What truly stood out was the small market right across the street, offering the best prices in town, making everything so convenient. And right next door, a beautiful mosque that brings a sense of peace and spirituality. The hotel itself is cozy, spotlessly clean, and filled with warm hospitality that made me feel not just like a guest, but part of the family. Every detail is designed for comfort and well-being, making the stay unforgettable. If you’re looking for the perfect combination of a prime location, a welcoming atmosphere, and the true essence of Oman, this is the place to stay. I loved every minute of my experience and recommend it wholeheartedly! 🌊🌴✨

Asal and Yousef were wonderful hosts. I had some difficulties while there and they went out of their way to help. They are kind and genuine people with a deep interest in others and rich integrity. Yousef was on call to drive to the various parts of town. The room was spacious and modern and well maintained. I recommend their stay to anyone.

I started my 4 week trip trough Oman in Basil Hostel. At first I planned to be in Muscat for a few days at the beginning and end of my trip. But since I fell in love with that place I returned every three to four days to Basil‘s Hostel and have been there a total of five times. It was a great place to meet other travellers and locals. I always felt welcomed and at home there. If I ever return to the great country of Oman, which I‘m pretty sure about, I will for sure be staying at Basil Hostel again and looking forward to reunite with all the good friends I made there. Cheers guys!

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.

    Absolute best hostel in whole Muscat! Kaab, the guy running the place is well- spoken , helpfull ( beyond what is expected) and flexible. As a solo traveler, it feels safe , to have such a person's whatsapp number if you get in situations where you dont understand what is going or trouble in anyway, anywhere! The place is the only 10/10 and very priceworthy! Totally recommend it !

    The room was spacious, with air conditioning and fan. The owner is really friendly and helpful. It is a quiet and clean hostel with a pleasant atmosphere. The area around has a lot of restaurant and shops. The bed, still being a bunk bed, was quite confrtable.
