The toilet cavity was not good and clean.

Nothing

Room was nice and hostel itself is clean

The receptionist guy was playing it nice only during check in process and later when I asked questions about surroundings he was like I dont know, I cant tell you everything and even got mad at me because I spelled his name wrong - he needs to work on his communication skills and not act like impulsive child

The place is very confy close to nizwa souq so you can anywhere around by walking Its a good place where you meet didfferent people from all over the world and start sharing and giving stories...a very chilled place as it was my secomd time to stay theree...amazing reception from JM my bro keep doing a good job

Not much all was good

L'hôtel est placé a 15 min à pied du centre de Nizwa et juste à côté d'une supérette. Le réceptionniste est adorable et sait accueillir. Je recommande les yeux fermés.

Rien.

Amazing stay at Salem House Hostel Nizwa. The place is very clean, comfortable, and well organized, with a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The location is also convenient. Special thanks to the receptionist for his kindness and great help, which made the stay even better. I highly recommend it.

Close to Nizwa Fort and Souk.

I wish there were more shared bathrooms available.

Stuff is so friendly and helpful. Very clean and comfortable.

Nothing

Duży pokój, wygodne łóżko, bardzo czysto, dobrze urządzona kuchnia.

Le rideau sur les lits, la propreté et la cuisine avec tous ses équipements

La personne à l'accueil n'est pas aimable, très passive agressive, c'est dommage

Good location, Very good staff

Emmjay, the person manages the hostel is kind and helpful. The location is convenient, walking distance to the Nizwa Fort and Nizwa Souq.

The hostel seems to have problems managing the bookings from all different sources. I would have had a big problem securing my bed should I lined up 1 mins later in the check-in queue. A confimed booking should be confirmed, not depending on luck. People who booked later should be rejected. The hit and miss arrangement is really annoying. There is no instructions on how to get hot water for the shower. I had a cold shower the 2nd night there.

Everything was perfect for my purpose and my short stay. Of course MJ's hospitality is more than 10. Thanks a lot.

Great location. Super nice staff

Location was good, 500-700 mtrs from nizwa souq and fort. Host was good

Restroom was not quite clean

The Manager, Emmanuel was super helpful. He even went out to buy bandages for me when I had a fall😊. Super clean. Spacious dorm. Coffee and tea provided in the lovely kitchen.

very nice staff!

Nice palce to mingle with different people from all over the world Clean and near old souq nizwa

Nice place to stay. Very close to the fort.

very helpful, friendly and funny receptionist and quite location near centre

Very comfortable and clean. The people working there were very helpful in helping me find a tour

Emma-Jay, the manager, was exceptionally kind and always available—a true asset. The hostel maintains a high standard: it was spotlessly clean, and the kitchen was remarkably well-equipped. The provided amenities—a daily-changed, fresh towel and a complimentary bottle of water—set this hostel apart from the rest.

Managed by a top man that made sure we felt af home as soon as we walked in

Super netter Empfang vom Mitarbeiter. Sauberes Zimmer und tolle Atmosphäre. Es gibt Parkplätze vorm Hostel an der Straße. Supermarkt direkt unterm Hostel, super nah zu Sehenswürdigkeiten

Great budget place to stay. Clean, comfortable and the manager is a delight and very helpful. Definitely would stay again!

No complaints

L'hôte est très sympathique et nous a donné plein d'informations Chambre spacieuse et confortable Super emplacement à 5 minutes a pied du souk

Manque de rideaux et pas mal de bruit mais logique car c'est une auberge de jeunesse

The owner must increase the receptionist salary, he's marvelously kind and welcome to everyone.

The toilet is a bit messy, but it's still worth the price

Free water , coffee and tea. Emmjay the onsite host was friendly and helpful. The bed was super comfortable. We were in a private room with shared bathroom. Short walk to the souk with lots of food options close by. One laundry machine available for a small extra charge ( have to queue)

The bathroom is very old and should be updated with both western and squat toilet. A bit disgusting ( appeared to be clean but so old that I was out of there as quick as possible once done). Only 2 bathrooms in the whole hostel- so have to be quick to the draw to use it during rush hour. Be weary that your confirmed reservation on booking.com isn’t really confirmed ( you only pay for room in cash upon arrival) as somehow they are not organized in their reservation system and double booked the room. I was lucky to be there early to be first to snag the reservation after some initial tense discussion ( I can’t imagine the drama of the party that arrived after me after me who had the same room booked ). If you run out of options to book in the old city, this hostel’s location is the best choice for the price to the souk!

L’accueil, l’emplacement, le service.

Rien

Lage, Altstadt, Markt, Bushaltestelle nach Muscat alles ca. 1 km entfernt. Preiswerte Möglichkeit Nizwa zu erleben. Der Aufenthaltsbereich ist kommunikativ, die Wartebereiche vor den zwei Bädern/Toiletten, bei 17 möglichen Gästen auch. Der Hausmann macht, kann, weiß alles. Die Küche ist ein Juwel, sauber und klasse eingerichtet. Es gibt zudem Wasser und Datteln umsonst. Also hinfahren, Low Budget und trotzdem super.

located a few steps away from the souq and goat market. supermarket next door. well equipped kitchen. comfy bed, soft towel, water provided

almost no water coming out of the tabs and showers. the owner "acted" nice

The location is around 7 mins walk to thw fort and old town, supermarket downstairs and good kitchen to cook in

The shower pressure is so low, makes showering veryyyyy slow. The writing on the walls makes it feel like a prison

Its clean and the receptionist guy from africa was very nice and friendly. I forgot his name sorry but he was an amazing person!!

Superb service and reasonable price.

Location of this guesthouse is perfect, just 10min walk from old city. Good place to meet other travelers. Moreover staff was very nice and welcoming. When I arrived it turned out there has been overbooking and my original reservation was not available. However, the owner went above and beyond to accommodate me for which I am really grateful

Bathrooms could use some refreshing

Lokace blízko hradu a trhu, možnost doplnění vody, dobře vybavena kuchyňka, byli jsme zde dva dny v relativně poloprázdném hostelu

problém vždy bývá společná zapáchající koupelna (turecký záchod?)

The hostel was close to the Fort and zouk, the manager is very committed with the order and cleanliness, the kitchen was big and has all the utensils for cooking, laundry is available for a fee.

Everything was fine.

🚨⚠️‼️A FUIR ‼️⚠️🚨 Notre séjour s’est transformé en cauchemar. À notre arrivée, le gérant s’est montré extrêmement agressif, nous parlant méchamment car la chambre que nous avions réservée n’était soi-disant pas disponible. Plutôt que de chercher une solution ou de s’excuser, il nous a tout bonnement mis à la porte, sans aucune explication valable. Il a jeté nos valises dehors. Nous avons dû faire intervenir la police pour apaiser la situation tant son comportement était violent et irrespectueux. Jamais nous n’aurions imaginé vivre une telle scène en arrivant dans un hébergement censé accueillir des voyageurs. C’est une véritable honte pour l’hôtellerie, et un scandale que cet établissement soit encore référencé sur Booking. Nous avons été laissés à la rue, sans solution, après un long trajet, dans un pays étranger. Fuyez cet endroit. Il n’a rien d’un lieu d’accueil, mais tout d’un guet-apens pour touristes.

Locatie was prima, vlakbij het centrum en de geitenmarkt

Slechts 2 badkamers die niet echt schoon waren. Zwakke waterstraal. Hostel bleek overboekt toen ik er was en er werd af hoc nog een extra bed geplaatst. Beetje rommelig.

Very nice Hostel, good value for money. Emmgey received with a smile and Assist me in everything During my short stay there. The room was perfect, also with locker to leave valuable things. The Kitchen is big and offer free tea & coffee and water. They organise activities and laundry. I met wonderful people there. The location is very central.

Lokalizacja; Kawa/herbata/woda dostępne non stop; Dużo kosmetyków (szampon, żele);

Brudna łazienka i sanitariaty. W obu wannach mnóstwo włosów w odpływach, które widać znajdują się tam nie od dziś. Obrzydliwie brudna i zużyta gąbka do naczyń czy mop.

Receptionist, connecting with other travelers, common room, spacious dorm

Only two toilet for many guests, not very clean, barely water coming from the tap, bad smell

Salle de bain / wc pue l’humidité

If you’ve ever dreamed of a hostel where rules matter more than hospitality, congratulations — you’ve found your spot. The walls are covered with instructions, and the host enforces them with military precision (too bad he missed the “being welcoming” part). Highlight of the stay: waiting half an hour at check-in because the host was on his lunch break — at 3 p.m., the official check-in time. Brilliant planning.

Communication was another masterpiece: every “yes” actually meant “no,” and after a few hours of waiting, not every “yes” leads to a result. I can recognize an African cultural tendency to avoid confrontation. His tone of voice was I immediately felt like I was back in boarding school. Facilities? A nostalgic tribute to the 1980s, complete with rust, grime and mystery smells. If the host cleaned as passionately as he polices the rules, this place might actually deserve more than a 1. In short: perfect if you love strict rules, confusion and disgusting facilities. For anyone else who values comfort, cleanliness or kindness, you might book elsewhere.

Z obiektu jest bardzo blisko do targu kóz. Właściciel jest niesamowicie miły i serdeczny, co sprawia, że atmosfera w tym miejscy jest super. Kuchnia jest bardzo dobrze wyposażona, można zrobić sobie bez problemu posiłek. Pokój był czysty i przestronny.

Rozumiemy, że łazienki są do wspólnego użytku gości, jednak ich czystość mogłaby być lepsza.

Dobře vybavený a na dobrém mistě backpackers hostel

住宿地點離古城非常的近，飲食、交通以及購物都非常方便，reception的服務人員相當熱情好客，解答疑問也相當清楚，住宿環境附近相當安靜，不用擔心被其他人打攪。

住宿建築隱藏於巷子內，比較不好找，建築物內的設備較為老舊，浴室淋浴水量小，應該是水龍頭老舊的緣故，最讓人無奈的是老舊的冷氣，運作的聲音實在太大了，我晚上都得戴耳塞才能入睡，建議可以換更省電的分離式變頻冷氣。

La amabilidad del personal y el espacio.

No tan cerca del centro. Pero igual se va caminando fácilmente

Great location, walkable distance to all highlight of Nizwa. Welcoming staff and comfortable room, wifi is stable

bathroom facilities is a little bit old

At the reception, Emmjay is the sweetest guy in town, always smiling and willing to help. Fantastic location: the Fort and the souk are 5 minutes away on foot. A supermarket is just by the corner of the guesthouse. AC available with no extra charge.

There a little room for improvement on the cleansing side (showers). But guests should be less messy 😆

Clean, positive, hotblood

Der Hotel Manager ist supernett und hilft bei allen Fragen.

Die Matratzen haben einen Plastikbezug, das ist etwas unangenehm.

Czysty pokój z prywatną łazienką. Dokładnie taki sam jak na zdjęciach. Bardzo dobry stosunek jakości do ceny. Bardzo miły personel. Polecam serdecznie.

Дуже чисто, приємний персонал, поруч зі старим містом

Ціна як для хостела трохи висока

The hostel was amazing in total, but we especially liked Emjay, the hostel vibe and the kitchen.

No complaints :)

The room was clean, host was very kind, gentle and always available to help.

The Private room with attached bathroom is the best option for singles or couples. Huge, clean and quiet. The manager is a great person, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful especially in getting together Singleton‘s with others for a trip with those who have card. He can also arrange a great guide for those who need one. Location is great, just a few minutes walking from the Fort and restaurants. This place is friendly, very clean and comfortable with access to a washing machine.

Some, like me, my find the handwritten signs on the walls pointing out the hostels expectations around hygienic and considerate behaviour of guest. While I found this of putting, the wonderful Host explained that it seemed to be the only way that inconsiderate guests paid attention to house rules. He said that since putting up the handwritten signs on the walls, negative behaviour had been successfully reduced.

Location

Great value In ideal location in Nizwa. Emmjay is an excellent host and it’s worth staying at the property to hear his infectious laugh. Property was clean and filtered water was always available.

Water pressure in bathrooms wasn’t great but it’s manageable.

The hostel was super comfy and clean, the kitchen was more than well equipped. But Emmjay who runs the hostel is literally the best! Very attentive and helpful. An absolutely amazing guy who's so much fun to talk to! Thank you for the great time <3

Der Gastgeber des Hostel Emjay war sehr freundlich , lustig und vor allem sehr bemüht. Er hat uns eine Liste mit Tipps geschrieben. Wir hatten ein riesiges Zimmer mit eigenem Bad. Die Lage war ideal. Konnte prima zu Fuß ins Zentrum. Parkplätze genügend vorhanden. Supermarkt direkt unten im Haus. Das Bad war schon alt und einfach, aber der Wohnraum tipptopp. Die Gemeinschaftsküche war sehr gut ausgestattet.

Das Hostel war mit Google Maps nicht ganz leicht zu finden.

Who works there

I reserved the private room (the better and bigger one) and I understand it's a hostel and not a luxury hotel, but the bed was broken, the air conditioning was very noisy (I had to choose between being cool or sleeping), I encountered a bed bug, and honestly, having to dry the floor of the bathroom (that smell a lot of bleach) because there's no shower curtain seems absurd to me.

there is nothing

I stayed for two days and there was no water or electricity every day. When I arrived, there was no one at the front desk. It was not a 24-hour front desk as described. There were also many strange rules. I think the boss was obsessed with money. Everything required money. Checking out at 10 o'clock was outrageous.

Habitación compartida muy amplia dentro de una casa enorme con espacios comunes (cocina y salón) Todo muy limpio y ordenado. A 5 minutos andando de la entrada a Nizwa. Mención especial para Emmjay, una persona muy agradable y dispuesta a ayudar en todo lo posible.

位置離Nizwa Fort很近。走路5分鐘內。 週五的牛羊市場，Nizwa市集，傍晚的燒烤 都在一起。 如開車 靠馬路 有足夠空間 免費停車。環境維護的很乾淨。 有廚房，可自行料理。省一些外食費用。

空調設備 有些老舊。有漏水或大噪音。 老闆可考慮 花些經費 調整一下。
