I like the location near Almouj Harbour, because I went to see turtles in Dimaniyat Islands, just 10 Minutes with car, and to the airport, also 10 Minutes. The attention of the Personal is top. They cooked sometimes and we could share. There is also a nice beach with walking distance.

The vibe in tbe hostel was great. There is enough space to chill with other people. The rooms and kithen are spacious. Even though Muscat is a bit an strange city of 20km long, It is easy to go anywhere with bus or taxi. Arond the hostel lots of possibilities to eat and drink. As I did, a lot of people keep hanging around some more time here.Charming helpfull hosts.

Our host was incredibly kind and welcoming — always with a smile! We truly appreciated the thoughtful touches, like cold water and a filled water jar waiting for us in the fridge, as well as coffee and tea provided for our stay. The place was spotless, with fresh white beddings and towels that made us feel right at home. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

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.
