Basil Hostel

Очень приятное пространство, есть приятная общая зона, все чисто. Расположение очень удобное, в шаговой доступности кафе и магазины

Вайфай ловит только в общей зоне. Когда кто-то готовит на кухне пахнущую еду, ужасно воняет по всем общим зонам. Постельное белье порванное, я понимаю что это хостел, но оно прям совсем плохо

A comfortable and welcoming stay at Basil’s Hostel, run by brothers Basil and Ziyad. They are kind, patient, and helpful, creating a warm, respectful, and friendly vibe — like staying with friends. Great for travelers who enjoy cooking, socializing, music, or quiet time. Rooms are clean with good airflow and comfortable mattresses. Kitchen and common areas are cozy and clean. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. On my first night, I joined their dinner during Ramadan — it was a special and traditional experience. Sometimes they play traditional music at night, which is interesting and adds a nice cultural touch. Location is convenient — about 10 minutes’ drive from the airport, 2–3 km from the famous mosque, 1 km to a big supermarket and ATM, money exchange , and a small grocery store just 2 minutes’ walk.

Small improvements: the bathroom floor could be kept drier, the upstairs shower holder needs fixing, and the water pressure could be better.

Great place with an amazing atmosphere, super kind staff, friendly people (and cat), clean and fresh sheets, cozy rooms, clean bathroom and kitchen (huge kitchen with everything you need +free food that everyone can share), great location (near vege restaurants and place with milkshakes and shops and atm) - the best hostel in not only Oman but also the whole Middle East - thank you for your hospitality- I’ll come back for sure:)

The hostel is 10-15 minutes by car from the airport, and 15-20 minutes walking to Azaiba bus station where you can take a bus to Nizwa. It's a good place for socializing too.

Good location easy to get around by Otaxi/yango ride share app. Very sociable environment, staff pleasant and helpful. Cafes, restaurants and grocery stores nearby.

I really enjoyed staying at the hostel! All the people there are incredibly friendly. You can tell that they all come here to have a good time, connect with people and find travel companions. The hosts are easy going and give tips when needed. The female dorm is very spacious and everyone made sure to respect the house rules.

The kitchen was very filthy. There was lots of leftover food marked as „free“ but much of it was no longer good. Also the fridges were full to the brim with stuff, as was the kitchen table. At some point one of the guests started cleaning it and threw all the rotten food out. Also the bathrooms could use a bit of an upgrade and more regular cleaning.
