Amazing place where you can feel comfortable, welcome, safe and simply just like at home. The rooms are comfortable and very clean! I have never seen such clean hostel in my life. The beds are comfortable and there is bathroom in every room. But the best part about this place are people, the guys managing the hostel. You can feel their good energy and warm heart every day. They care about their guests, and you can feel that's not because they need good reviews - its because they are like this: warm, respectful, helpful, caring and fun people. I came there for one night and I stayed for many more. I higly recommend this place to all toursists in Muscat!!!

Anuse and Salah are the hostel workers here they made me feel so welcome. I had a bad experience coming from the airport but they were there to rescue me. They treated me like family and did everything to make sure I was okay. We had the best laughs and they were good enough to make sure that everybody in the hostel made friends, they accompanied me everywhere I went and made sure went on trips together with the other visitors. As a solo female traveller, travelling also for the first time. I wasn't so confidential however, I felt much safer with them around. These two made my visit very special and I will never forget them ❤️❤️ The family room is large and but even in the female dorms everybody is lovely.

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 !
