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.

Great place to stay in Muscat. One of very few budget stays in Oman. The host was extremely accommodating and gave a lot of good information. Good atmosphere in this small hostel. I met some great characters here.

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.
