I had a fantastic stay at Legacy Hostel! Zouhaier, the host, was incredibly kind and supportive throughout my time in Muscat. He organized group gatherings to the desert and Souk and also arranged a taxi for my airport transfer. The hostel had a great social vibe, with free dates, coffee, and tea always available. Everything was clean, and the staff was super helpful. It truly felt like home, and I would definitely come back!

Basel is a fantastic host, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where people from various countries come together. He made everyone feel incredibly welcome and had planned an exciting trip to a desert camp. There were also opportunities to socialize with his friends, who gathered to watch soccer matches and play local music. The surroundings offered convenient access to local attractions, with buses connecting to other parts of Oman and easy taxi availability through an app.

Very cheap (the price 2.000 OMR was per person though, not per room, but still it is super cheap), very tidy (100% european standard), beautiful bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, very kind staff. One dorm room for men, one dorm room for women, and one room for the owner's family (couple with two cute kids). Definitely recommend! 10/10

Great value for money at just 3 Omani riyals! The hostel's central location is a plus, close to the beach and airport. The friendly atmosphere makes you feel right at home, and the trustworthy staff adds to the comfort. Cleanliness is a priority here, and the multi-national roommates offer a great opportunity to connect with people from different backgrounds. Highly recommended!

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.
