Nestled safely in the Christian quarter, we offer clean, comfortable, affordable accommodation for travellers from all round the world.

This is not the average hostel, this is a VIP hostelling , it is home away from home.You have a choice of TV lounge featuring hundreds of channels including BBC, CNBC, CNN, France 24 Hours, Bloomberg, and most European channels. We also have an Arabian lounge, sunset lounge and guests can sun bathe in private on the roof top.

It’s an ideal place for the solo traveller to meet others, and suitable for first time visitors to Syria where we can give you all the information on where to go and how to get there and the best way to do it. Damascus Hostel has a social atmosphere which often is derived from sharing dining tables, washing machines and much more with other guests.

Our Hostel organizes parties and excursions for guests, and many people can meet and get to know each other over a drink. In a hostel one is more likely to start a conversation with a fellow traveller or to be asked for advice, tips and information by someone you have never met before.

Hostels are a good place to make friends and meet people from many different countries. Hostel guests like to exchange tips on clubs, museums, shows, shopping and often share tours.

Enjoy city views over the wall to the East and Mount Kasioon to the West. We are not in any travel guide books yet because we opened in second half of 2007.

Location:

Situated in Damascus, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world, Damascus Hostel offers a clean, comfortable, welcoming place to stay. Close to many internet cafes, inexpensive cafes and takeaway restaurants, the Hostel is a home away from home right in the heart of the city. View the main street from the roof courtyard or turret. There is an abundance of architectural styles, historical and religious sights to see within minutes from the Hostel. Upon arrival we will help you to familiarise yourself with the exotic Old City.

Immerse yourself in the local language and culture. Learn to read and write Arabic from our helpful and friendly local staff.

Damascus Hostel is based on the style of student accommodation begun originally by manager Ray Gordon in Australia over 21 years ago. Ray created long-term stays that attracted many international students from Europe and Asia, in Western Australia, next to Curtin University in Bentley. Ray now brings this style of welcome hospitality to the heart of Old Damascus.

It would be greatly appreciated if you are coming to Damascus, to please bring with you a couple of books to add to our hostel library/ book exchange.
