⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🌊🌴✨

You cannot go wrong with Sukoon Hostel! This place is just fantastic. Good location just next to the big bus station, spotless clean, lots of space in the room, good WiFi. But even that all of this was great the best part of this place is lovely staff! They were co welcoming and helpful from the moment we got a bit lost on arrival till the late day when they helped my mum getting to the right bus to Dubai. I cannot price them high enough! Most likely the best hostel experience I had so far, will be definitely back when in Muscat again <3

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.
