Zouhair treats you like family, not just a guest! He is more than helpful, even without you having to ask! Making friends at the hostel was also easy, thanks to the nice front yard, and cozy living room (that occasionally welcomes a friendly neighbourhood cat 😂). Location is good, 10 minutes drive to the beautiful Qurum beach, 5 minutes walk to restaurants and supermarkets. The female dorm room has an en-suite bathroom and shower, and cabinets with keys to keep your things safe.

Beautiful place with a very welcoming host. Hostel is located near Al-sahwa terminus, from where you can travel anywhere. If your purpose is to travel around the city for an entire day, and come back to rest and shower, this is the perfect place. The price is really good for the place too. The kitchen and bathroom were also well equipped

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.

The host was incredibly kind and attentive, checking in with me throughout the day before arrival and making sure my late check-in after a long drive was smooth. She even secured a parking spot for me. The room was spotless with fresh towels, a clean bathroom, cold water in the fridge, and excellent AC. The house was super quiet, in a safe family environment, and the location was superb—strategically placed and very convenient.

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.
