WHAT A GEM! seriously, was i even in a hostel, or visited a family member? Zohauier piciem me up at 3:30 am, madę sure i had everything I need, showed me around the city, drove me to a hiking point outside, showered me with gifts, and dropped me at the airport. He even accomodated my parents when they came to Oman a month later, without even staying at his place. The hostel itself is amazing, it is clean, comfortable, the common area is so oczy, it’s in a beautiful neighborhood. It’s more than accommodation, it’s a full experience. Probably my best hostel experience EVER!

When you live there, we don't get the freedom that we get by paying for it. The behavior there is like living in someone's house for free. The owner of the place doesn't show any respect to us for paying to stay there, he gives it to everyone for free.

Great value for money at just 3 Omani riyals! The hostel's central location is a plus, close to the beach and airport. The friendly atmosphere makes you feel right at home, and the trustworthy staff adds to the comfort. Cleanliness is a priority here, and the multi-national roommates offer a great opportunity to connect with people from different backgrounds. Highly recommended!

I stayed at this hotel in Muscat and it was an okay experience. For the money I paid, I was satisfied. The room was clean and neat, but the surroundings had a bad smell because of some nearby fish shops. The room itself was good, though I wish they had provided a cupboard to keep belongings, as there wasn’t one. The property does have CCTV, which is a plus. Overall, for the price, it’s worth it.

The host was incredibly kind and attentive, checking in with me throughout the day before arrival and making sure my late check-in after a long drive was smooth. She even secured a parking spot for me. The room was spotless with fresh towels, a clean bathroom, cold water in the fridge, and excellent AC. The house was super quiet, in a safe family environment, and the location was superb—strategically placed and very convenient.

All hostels in Muscat

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
