Very social hostel, Zouhaier, the owner is the heart of the hostel welcoming everyone and helps and support all guests with everything (transport, car rentals, trip planning….) 100% recommend, best value for price in Oman where accommodation especially is generally expensive I also love that there are dates and water in the hostel which make it even more welcoming:)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Hostel in Oman!!! This hostel is simply perfect! The location is a dream: within a short distance from a peaceful beach and a stunning, elegant marina, a picture-perfect setting. The neighborhood is sophisticated, safe, and full of charm – one of the very best in Muscat. What truly stood out was the small market right across the street, offering the best prices in town, making everything so convenient. And right next door, a beautiful mosque that brings a sense of peace and spirituality. The hotel itself is cozy, spotlessly clean, and filled with warm hospitality that made me feel not just like a guest, but part of the family. Every detail is designed for comfort and well-being, making the stay unforgettable. If you’re looking for the perfect combination of a prime location, a welcoming atmosphere, and the true essence of Oman, this is the place to stay. I loved every minute of my experience and recommend it wholeheartedly! 🌊🌴✨

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.

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!

The manager Kaab is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met. He is friendly, funny, talkative and hospitable. I liked the over all atmosphere in the hostel. I met many great people. I wish I could spend some more days there.

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.
