Very welcomming athmosphere, possible checkin 5am, very clean - like the cleanest appartment I stayed in Oman. It looks like all is new there, rooms are spacious, big bed and we had comfortable sleep. There is a kitchen u can use in the ground floor and the owner was always available and ready to help. Would definitely stay here again, I can recommend!

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!!!

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

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in so far. Very spacious and comfortable common room with books, games, sofas and a big TV with internet connection. Big kitchen space. Good location with many restaurants nearby. Kind volunteers, Zee from Yemen is top notch. Plenty of opportunity to make friends, plan and travel together.

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.
