The owner of this hostel is one of the best hostel host I have ever met. I arrived early and he prepared a bed for me in order to get some rest before checking in. Also, he helped me visit the Mosque. The beds are very comfortable and the AC is creating a good sleeping temperature inside the dorm. I will stay here again every time I return to Muscat. Very nice hospitality! Thank you again!

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.

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.

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.
