Best hostel ever!!
Perfect location next to the supermarket, beach and public transport with all the amenities you need. However, importantly, it is the vibe of the hostel that makes it stand out. Basil, the owner, is by far the friendliest, most generous and down to earth person you’ll ever meet. Each night we had great conversations, listened to his friends sing and play drums, and drank delectable Arabic coffee. An unforgettable experience staying here and hope to return soon.

Comfy place in Muscat
The staff is super kind, and he gave us welcome Arabic coffee. Also he let us know where is a great camel meat restaurant. He accepted I stayed over midnight after checking out. Hot and good presser showers.
A fridge is a bit small. The staff use incense at night time in all rooms. I don't like any smell and smoky stuff. Such a nightmare time.

Friendly owner and aswelll similarly is the entire hostel
Location is very good: Grand mosque is nearby. Bus stop is very close, nearby are shopping mall, restaurants. Staff: Basil (the owner) is very very helpful, friendly and kind. He is making coffee in the morning and treating with dates the guests. Also he helped very much with some other arrangements. So overal 10+ points to the owner for his kindness. Facilities: the kitchen, fridge, stove, kettle, TV - all these things are present in hostel. In the beggining once I enter hostel at night, I didint feel comfortable, as I was the only girl, and there was the rest 5 man. But the next day, once I get more familiar with owner, other guests, then I felt very safe, as it friendly and cosy environment.

An exceptional and wonderful experience
My stay experience was exceptional and wonderful. The owner is very friendly and takes great care of his guests and generously provides them with tourist information. The owner, Basil, took me and others on a tour of the city. I also liked that the Wi-Fi connection is very strong and there is great attention to the cleanliness of the facilities. In fact, I felt at home among my family and I was happy with the experience and I will repeat it in the future, I highly recommend it.

Good value for money, more Airbnb concept than hostel but with lot of potential!
The owner, other guests, available kitchen, common/lounge area/ plugs everywhere/ lockers/ good atmosphere/ close to mall and restaurants as well as bus station (10min waking)
Thin walls/ more like an Airbnb as it’s a shared room in a flat/ thin mattress/ cleanliness of the floor and bathroom at some times.
