We only stayed for a short amount of time for a layover between our flights but would have loved if we could have stayed longer. The room is very clean and comfortable. The hosts are very kind and helpful. We asked for airport shuttle as well 2 ways, which was a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend.

Great Hostel, with cozy common area and relaxing outside garden. Zouhaier is the most caring host, from picking us up from the airport to preparing dinner for us, taking us to the mosque and helping out with our rental car he is a very attentive, warm and helpful person. We will be back next week and every time we are in Oman.

A wonderful hostel!! Big common area, indoor and outdoor, which invites to connect with the team and other guests. Day trips and dinners are offered. The room was spacious and even though it was a ten-bed super quiet. Everyone very respectful and relaxed. The host really goes the extra mile!

I loved this hostel, I spent there most of my time in Muscat, with beautiful people on the amazing rooftop. The rooftop has a shaded area and when it's too hot there there's also a comfortable common area. They also have a kitchen. The room was big enough and the bathroom was clean.

Our host was incredibly kind and welcoming — always with a smile! We truly appreciated the thoughtful touches, like cold water and a filled water jar waiting for us in the fridge, as well as coffee and tea provided for our stay. The place was spotless, with fresh white beddings and towels that made us feel right at home. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

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.
