    I had an excellent stay at this hostel. The owner was incredibly hospitable, always ready to help with directions, recommendations, and anything else I needed. The room was clean, the atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend.

    Top place, people are really friendly, helpful, you can always receive help. Really recommended for backpackers, common rooms were open for everyone. You can also meet some cats!

    The Perfect Stay That Made My Oman Trip Truly Special

    The room, living area, and bathroom were all very clean and comfortable, but what truly made the experience special was the host’s hospitality and the warmth of the people there. The host even let me work late at night in the living room—despite the fact that it’s where he sleeps—and he offered me ice cream too! I was so impressed by his hospitality and professionalism. I honestly wish I could have stayed longer. I would love to come back to Muscat just to stay here again. Thank you so much!

    Less than perfect is the location. Altho there are shops nearby an Uber was needed to get anywhere else of interest. I didn't use the bus systems.

    From the moment I arrived I was made to feel really at home. The kitchen facilities are great, with lots provided.. I was even given a meal when I arrived, tho this is not to be expected. The atmosphere is relaxed and accepting. The women's dorm room spacious & cool with attached bathroom. I appreciated the curtain for my lower bunk bed and had the best sleeps. Great experience exploring Muscat with other inmates. Tho fiercly hot outside it was cool inside throughout. Can't praise I highly enough! Thanks for a wonderful home in Muscat. Speaking of which - lots of puss-cats in Muscat and a couple of mus-kittens were born at the hostel.

    My bed (upper-bed) was just below the airconditionar and it was freezing. I was given a thick blanket when I checked in and I was curious why, but later I found it. I felt like I could catch a cold but I understand the onwer tried to solve the problem.

    The owner is nice, the common space is cozy and comfortable.

    Legacy Hostel is a great place for a backpacker visiting Muscat on a budget. In the summer months it was an oasis to walk into and feel the strong AC to give you a break from the heat. Beds were comfortable. Lou at the front desk was super welcoming and helpful, answered any questions about things to do and places to visit. I would definitely recommend to any traveller!

    very hot during the day and high humidity at night

    Very spacious, very clean, the gentleman who works there can tell the history of Oman like a tour guide and helps with transportation and food. We can say that a place close to most locations can be stayed for months, summers are cold and winters are hot.

    My bed was facing the air conditioner, so I had to adjust it to direct the airflow in a different direction in order to sleep comfortably. Everything went well.

    A shower in the room and an additional one in the hallway. Quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Cozy environment. Polite staff and manager. Great location. A kitchen equipped with everything necessary.

    Not applicable - everything was perfect

    - Lou (Gasmilouay) is perhaps the best hostel manager I have ever met in my travels over 90 countries. He is helpful not only in taking care of your needs while at the hostel but also arranges tours/ taxis for you/ guides you well. - clean hostel with every amenity possible including mineral water dispenser that you can use to fill your bottles up for the day.

    Everything was good

    I had a wonderful stay at Heritage Hostel! The place was very clean, and the atmosphere felt just like home from the moment I arrived. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time, which made my trip so much more enjoyable. The owner was incredibly helpful and kind, always available to assist or offer suggestions. One of the best parts of my stay was the friendly, welcoming environment—I made many good friends during my time there, and it really enhanced the experience. I’ll definitely be visiting again soon and would highly recommend Heritage Hostel to anyone looking for a warm, safe, and social place to stay.

    Everyone at the hostel, from staff to other guests, was friendly and accommodating. The room and bathroom were kept very clean and the bunk beds were cozy (I found them quite comfortable, I like a good firm mattress). Communication with the owner and manager was easy before and during our stay, and we shared some meals and engaging conversations with our host and the other guests. Easy and cheap to take a taxi out for sightseeing/restaurants/etc., and I liked being a quiet neighborhood. In short, this was the perfect place for 5 friends to stay while exploring Muscat for a couple days.
