    A Stay So Perfect, I Had to Extend 4 Times!!!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I Extended My Stay 4 Times! This hostel in Oman is absolutely incredible. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home. The location is perfect: a short distance from a peaceful beach and a stunning, elegant marina, in one of the most sophisticated neighborhoods of Muscat. One of the highlights is the huge, fully equipped kitchen – it has everything you could possibly need: microwave, stove, fridge, freezer, toaster, blender, automatic rice cooker, and all essential utensils. Preparing meals here is a joy! There’s also coffee and tea available for free, making mornings and afternoons extra cozy. The hostel is extremely safe, honestly the safest place I’ve stayed at during my entire trip. The spaces are bright, spacious, and perfectly maintained. The staff are warm and welcoming, making you feel like family. I loved it so much that I extended my stay four times! Right across the street, a small market offers the best prices in town, and a beautiful mosque next door adds a peaceful, spiritual atmosphere to the surroundings. If you’re looking for comfort, safety, charm, and the true spirit of Oman, this hostel is the place to be. I can’t recommend it enough – I’ll definitely return on my next visit!💐💐💐

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is really the Best Hostel in Oman! From the moment I arrived, I knew this hostel was special. The location is unbeatable: within a short distance from a peaceful beach and a stunning, elegant marina – the kind of scenery you usually only see on postcards. The neighborhood is refined, safe, and full of charm, making it one of the most desirable areas in Muscat. Right across the street, you’ll find a small market with the best prices in town, which makes everyday life so convenient. And just next door, a beautiful mosque that adds a touch of peace and spirituality to the whole experience. The hotel itself is a masterpiece of comfort and hospitality. Spotlessly clean, cozy, and run by people who make you feel less like a guest and more like family. Every detail seems carefully designed to ensure relaxation, comfort, and an unforgettable stay. If you want the perfect mix of location, charm, and true Omani spirit, look no further. I absolutely loved every single moment here, and I recommend it with all my heart. Once you stay, you’ll never want to leave!❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Washing machine would have helped. A table in the room. The internet was fluctuating.

    The area is nice. Mostly villas. Very close to a mosque. < km to a decent mall and good cafe. It's a bed space. As I was the only one in the room it was convenient.
