Legacy Hostel, hotel in Muscat

Legacy Hostel has a garden, private beach area, a shared lounge and terrace in Muscat.

The owner is the best. Very kind and Generous. He could even pick you up from the airport (for only small money) and also help you get a sim card or rent a car with the best deal through his connection and even drop you from place to place even free! Lots of food and snacks are also available there for free or cheap. Amazing people all super friendly and helpful. I came there alone for the first time, made new friends, rented a car together, and had lots of amazing adventures. I 100% recommend it

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.

    This is a great value hotel in the heart of Muscat City - great location which is accessible and cost effective for taxis to get around anywhere you wish! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helping and I enjoyed my stay. Ideal if you're just looking for a comfortable place to sleep whilst you're out on excursions for most of the day! Also, getting to the airport from here (and most landmarks) is cheap.
