Definitely, without any doubt, the best hostel in Muscat at the moment. The owner and the employee Brahim are exquisite and friendly people, ready to make you feel comfortable and at home. The common room is wide and with comfy couches where you can lie down and relax, talking with the other guests. Rooms were fine, comfy beds with lockers as well where you can put inside your bag. Bathrooms were good and spacious. Nothing fancy, but It's good for a hostel considering also the price. There is a kitchen as well where you can cook or have a black tea or coffee. Free water, tea and coffee. There is an outside area where you can chill as well. I've seen other hostels in Muscat and this one is surely the best one atm.

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 !

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.

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.
